Experiencing the creativity, the power, and the wondrous works of God is so amazing. And one way I do that is by venturing out into the wilderness with anything I might need on my shoulders. There is just something about being away from the cell phones, radio stations, sidewalks, and refrigerators I admire. Well, if I were strong enough, I would still carry a refrigerator. But I just love to experience Gods gift of nature. Stepping away from my vehicle with a 50 pound pack, and not knowing where exactly I am going to camp is so exciting to me. The wilderness, being a man, making fires, crossing streams, the mud, and chopping wood, I enjoy all of it. A good friend of mine once said, "I can imagine God looking from the Heavens above and seeing us admire what He has created. How do you think that makes him feel?" God loves when we admire and gauche over his work. He is so jealous for a relationship and a connection. There are a number of ways for me to connect with Christ on an emotional level, and one of them is by backpacking. The trails are not congested with traffic, much of my time is spent thinking about my past and where I am going, and I am surrounded by God and his gift of recreation for me and my spiritual relationship with him. What more is there to ask for.
If you havn't ventured on the trail before, I highly recomend it. But if you don't like that sort of thing, I strongly recomend finding some sort of connection with our creator.
What is your favorite recreation?
Have you experienced Christ?
