Why we go outside...regularly

It's important to go outside.
Maybe it's biological....it speaks to our genetic need to survive.
Maybe it's theological...it speaks to our need to worship.
Maybe it's physiological....it speaks to our need to feel more emotionally/physically healthy.

We know that when we take our kids outside....we learn lessons we have difficulty learning elsewhere.  What can teach us more about biology than by being in creation? What can teach us more about worship then in places which declare the glory of God?  What can teach us about our own physiology, than by moving through outdoor environments?   

...and then there's just the simple thing....that it's FUN to be outside!  
We like to have fun.


On a recent trip to into the Sierra Nevadas...we tapped into our biological, theological, physiological need to be outside.


We sat on rocks
Swam


Hiked


Rock climbed


Scrambled up summits.


and selfied ourselves



It's important to go outside.
You NEED it.
...so go do it!

These are good days.
