This weekend we camped with my in-laws at Wind Creek State Park on Lake Martin. The experience was refreshing, relaxing, and re-motivating (?) I was reminded the goodness of simplicity. T-shirt, jeans, flip flops, and a car quilt was all I really needed. Hiking outdoors and spending time by the campfire is what Fall is all about -not to mention Oktoberfest brewed beer and grilled hamburgers. It was really neat to see families gathered around picnic tables and kids riding their bikes with no worries about reckless drivers or pedophiles. With Fall changes occurring literally all around us it was really refreshing to absorb God's creation in the trees and the crisp cool air. I loved going to sleep at night with the scent of camp fire smoke on my clothes and in my hair. I wonder how I can bring the experience home with me? By appreciating little things like a cup of hot coffee, picnics in the back yard, reading a few verses from the Bible outside on the porch before getting ready for work, and by planning more getaways like this one. Here are a few pics. from the weekend.
