A church camp routine, a least at Camp Loucon in Leitchfield, KY.
Prayers and singing.
Think, Kum Ba Yah (Come By Here) in the 60's.
For me, knowing God became experiential during vespers at that camp, not just cognitive knowledge.
Be still and know that I am God. (Psalm 46:10)
Not just a mountain top or lakeside experience but one that has stayed with me for all these years.
I have not forgotten the experience but somehow the word, "vespers" has been lying dormant in the dim recesses of my mind. I am grateful to have recalled it recently and now choose to introduce it to my "grands" when they come for Thanksgiving.
Maybe we will even sing "Kum Ba Yah" around our fire pit.
