In the spirit of Easter, we decided to take a road trip to Yarnell, AZ to view the 14 Stations of the Cross at St. Joseph's Shrine (
www.stjoseph-shrine.org). We kept the menu for the road trip simple: Turkey Couscous salad for main course and Brownies for dessert.

Picnic in the shade.

It was an hour and 45 minutes drive from Phoenix with some mountain-view sceneries sprinkled throughout the ride. As soon as we got there, we spread our picnic basket under a tree and got right down to lunch. Then we ascended through some rough steps between large boulders to view the beautiful carvings of the Stations of the Cross. The view from the top is quite remarkable. This time, God and nature certainly took center stage. As Jesus himself declared, "man does not live by bread alone...."
