I am just back from a fantabulous holiday with the family in the Himalayas. It was 12 days of pure bliss… no computer, no mobile, hot water by the bucket, breakfast at 7:30 AM, lights off by 9 PM….wait a minute…did I just say bliss??? Yup initially, I couldn’t imagine spending a week without my laptop and mobile phone. But what do you do when you are staying in the middle of a forest and the power is up for only an hour a day- that too by generator! I couldn’t believe we were actually paying for this…an experience which many states in India offered for free…but by the end of the holiday I was thanking God for this incredible opportunity  to be free of all the distractions  of modern life and just spend QT in His presence. Just reading the Word, talking to the Father and most importantly- taking time out to listen.

Basically it was an education in how not to do anything- something that has become a kind of lost art in our times.

I also learned that  have an amazing capacity for sleep- is there a record anywhere for the longest sleep time because I think I may have broken it!
