church

As usual the camping trip was awesome. We went to Turquoise Lake near Leadville which is in sight of the second and third highest peaks in Colorado. I hiked about half way around the lake. I was awed by the beauty of it, at 10,000 feet it felt like being on top of the world. Thursday night it snowed a little, which added to the beauty in my opinion; I’ve always wanted to camp in the snow.

Well we did all the things I mentioned in my last post and a little snow ball throwing. During our gatherings around the fire (it was a bit cold some of the time) we talked about how the church is a community and a little of what that looks like. It always blesses me to hear how the church is the body of Christ or the bride of Christ or a temple. I used to be very disillusioned with church, but that was when I thought of it as merely a building. It’s so much more beautiful when I think of it as a family, something you’re part of always. A lifestyle rather than a building, that is what I want.
