Belongings

I am now responsible for maintaining the A Place Apart blog. Today, I've posted a new devotional thought and question for discussion and reflection at the site. If you read my blog you might be interested in checking in on APA's blog, prayer resources and website. Look for a new question every Wednesday morning.

Green Hour

One of the best books I've ever read was Last Child in the Woods and there was an updated and expanded edition released this year. It included a list of things to do with children that weren't in my edition. Here are 13 things that you can do to get (your) children out into nature.

I particularly like the idea of a family "green hour" (number 7 on the list) together.

Westfall Wildlife Habitat

I've thought about making our backyard a Certified Wildlife Habitat. Turns out you can actually do this with the National Wildlife Federation.

All we need in our backyard is basics for animals food, water, cover and places to raise their young. We have 3 of the 4 right now... only need a water source and they list a birdbath as one possibility.

You even get a sign to place on the property.

New Music Site

MySpace has been screwing around with the Artists Pages and I have not been a happy camper with them of late. So I started an account with PureVolume this week and hope you'll check out my music over there for the time being until I figure out what's going on with my MySpace account.

I just uploaded newer (fuller) versions of Frontiers, Campfire and Wild Heart as well as a new one called Harvest. Click here to listen and bookmark it and let others know about it as well! Also I'm interested in feedback so you can leave it here, there or via email.

I have self-produced demo CD's for $5 as well if you are interested in more music.

Let me know what you think.
