Each year my home church does a guys retreat, where only the
guys go away for the weekend to grow together as a community and grow close to
God. For some reason where we go on these retreats are usually places away from
the everyday hustle of life. The places we usually go are typically considered
“country,” which I very enjoy. The places we go to we usually stay in cabins,
and when its night time you can see millions of stars. I remember this year
when I went on the retreat there was a giant lake, and over looking that lake
was a place where you could have worship. On this certain retreat I was leader
of group of guys, so one morning we decided to have bible study out by the
lake. So we got up in time to see the sun rise, and when the sun was rising we
engaged in the Bible. It was one of the coolest moments of that weekend. For me
to engage in the Bible with a bunch of guys and at the same time we took in the
aweness of creation. It’s clear to me that when you are doing something in
nature, or just outside it feels 10 times better. I guess for me nature brings
up different feelings in a person. In nature we feel connected to the world.
