As you can see I am playing catch up on blogs. Thanks so much for your blog post. It is what got me to thinking about my quiet time. I did not really have a place just randomly. I needed an office to go to be with God. So now I use the couch in the living room with no kids or hubby. It is where I can talk to my psychiatrist (God). Thanks so much for your inspiration.
