Looking back at this little cabin, built on the Navajo reservation in northwestern New Mexico, I'm reminded "blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven".  In my life I have been rich, though I usually have failed to acknowledge that fact.  Standing on my front sidewalk this morning and enjoying the feel of warm raindrops falling on my face ... I realize the richness of my life.  This photograph was taken from the from porch of the home of a woman named Martha, who had lived in a one room cabin with no running water and no electricity with her children ... for over forty years.  This is a barren land ... there is no garden ... the relief of rain is only a memory.  I am glad I was given opportunity to be a part of the rain that blessed Martha with a new house that has electricity and water.  I am rich ... so it is often difficult to see the desert that surrounds me.  And so I stand in the rain ... thanking GOD not only for the rain, but for eyes to see the desert and the cleansing reign of His Spirit that refreshes my soul.
