And I do agree with you Nate, we can never replicate something like that. But being older, more mature, and many of us in families, it would still be a good idea to get together and go camping, as adults this time, strengthening our relationships into better ones and enjoying the past memories.

All the experiences then were accompanied by heightened emotion, and my memories of them are consequently tinted by a romantic or dramatic shade which has disappeared in my twenties. I have a feeling faith will be very different and very fun across the decades. There is something in particular about the cast which one’s teen years throw over memories.

Even though I only went to Yosemite once in high school, this post brings back memories. I think Jason is right, that a trip like this could be organized, but I think Denise is right in that it will never truly "happen again." You could organize the exact same people to attend, the exact same spot, even the same weather, but it wouldn't be the same. That experience, at that age, and through that high school lens can't be replicated. That's not to discourage you Jason, merely relating to Denise's adolescent meanderings.

Maybe I will just send you my book I have been reading, "The Parables" by Dr. Brad Young. Great book and profound in terms of Studying the Jewish Parables of Jesus in light of Jewish Parables of the time and context. Makes me wonder much, such as, Have Christians got some things wrong? Good Reflection. I too was discussing with Lindsay the fun times of youth group camping trips. I understand many of us are moving on, growing up and all the likes. But I don't think that it is an impossibility. If we all got together and planned something out. I think it would be awesome next summer for a few of us couples to get together, go camping, and worship God as in the olden days. Let's discuss soon. Maybe I will make an extra special trip to SD for discussion and book trading. jason Have I got some good theology to talk about.

The good kind. I think it is difficult to put into words one's personal encounter with God. Those who have had the experience can relate immediately to another's description of his or her experience. I think those who are seeking will recognize in it something for which they long. Those who remain rebellious in attitude toward the idea of a God, who desires personal relationship with them, will most likely see nothing but 'unintelligent emotionalism'. So, as difficult as it might be to put into words the kind of peace and quiet that God's Spirit gives, I think it is a good thing to attempt. And I think you did it well. Nice to read. Thanks.
