One of my favorite things to do is to get in the car and drive. Get out of the city. See the scenery change from concrete and steel to green and brown up against big, blue skies. The second I get out of the city limits, I start to feel my body let down and release some of the tension. I begin to breathe a little easier. Even a few hours away at the lake helps bring restoration to my body and mind.
Because we know how restorative sabbath and experiencing God's beauty in nature is, we work hard to provide our men many opportunities to experience life as God intended. This helps teach our men how to build their own life with a Godly pattern of sabbath and pass that knowledge onto their own families. Not only does it help them gain the confidence to lead their own families, but it also gives them a vision of what it can possibly look like.
One way we do that is by our yearly ROD Lake Family Picnic at Cedar Creek Lake. Volunteers, ROD Men, Partner Organizations, Board Members, and our families all come together and enjoy each other out at the lake.
Many of our men never knew life can have moments this good!
