I am always impressed exploring and spending time in nature. I can't say I remember the first memorable
time - likely it was hikes and picnics at Squire's Castle.
I am in awe of nature, especially at night
when we are camping in the White Mountains - there's no light pollution and you
can see the Milky Way clearly.

It is
then that I look up at the sky and marvel at God's creation and remember Psalm
19:1 - The heavens declare the Glory of God and the firmament shows His
handiwork. And Romans 1:20 comes to mind: For
since the creation of the world his invisible attributes—his eternal power and
divine nature—have been clearly seen, because they are understood through what
has been made. So people are without excuse.
Given the choice, I prefer to be in the
forest, or the beach - in nature in other words, than in the midst of the
city. The city is nice, and has its
points, but for refreshing and relaxing with the Lord; you need to be surrounded by His
creation, where you have no other distractions and hear Him speak to you in a still, small voice.
