Childhood experience

When I was in GirlScouts, we went camping at a nearby camp. Early Sunday

we went on a long hike. Suddenly, we walked into this meadow. There were logs for pews and a rock alter. It was beautiful. It was str

y quiet and reverent. Flowers were everywhere and the colors were amazing. If I ever needed validation there was a higher power it occured that day. I could not tell you what the service was like or what was said. But I remember the beauty and the feeling of something bigger than myself. That was many years ago, and I have traveled to many places and visited many a church, including the Vatican. I have never felt the love and greatness I felt in the simple field. What I learned is that, while a church is wonderful and the community is a big part. You can find proof of a higher power, whatever name you want to give it, in the simplest form. It is around us everyday, to validate what we believe and who we are.

Amen to that. Have you ever tried to go to that place again? Is it still there? Please let me know.

I have never been back, and I am not sure where it is located. I believe it is still a girlscout camp here in Texas, but I don't remember where it was at. I have been to many churchs and never had that feeling. It had to be over 25 years ago, but I remember it as if it were yesterday.
