Last month I went on a backpacking trip with a dozen guys from my church. We hiked into the Grand Canyon to Havasupai Falls and spent four days camping together. The scenery was amazing, it is a one-of-a-kind convergence of giant canyons, ancient lava flows, flowing rivers, bizarre mineral deposits, with a unique collection of flora and fauna.
Amidst the natural splendor I was moved by the wonder of God's creation. What struck me even more than the creation of this wonderful place, was the creation of the great guys who did trip with me. In particular the way we can see how God lovingly puts elements of His own character into every person. Not that any of us are perfect, only a few moments at our campground would have convinced you that our group was FAR from perfect. Rather, the way God allows imperfect people to bring a sense of friendship, camaraderie, and love into each other's lives. It was great to visit such an unique place with such awesome friends.
