After spending Engineering week doing a grand total of zero hours of homework it was only natural to up the ante and take another entire weekend away from Physics and Math to spend time with great people out in God’s creation.

Intervarsity Christian Fellowship held its annual winter camp this year at Pioneer Lodge just 15 km from Sundre. Some highligh photos of the weekend made it into this gallery. We were treated to amazing weather and blue skies and starry nights, perfect for having ridiculously large bonfires and sleeping under the stars.

The topic of discussion for the weekend revolved around love. Now if you were to pick a topic for discussion to be as cliche as possible, you might choose to talk about love. If you were going to pick a topic to be as powerful as possible you might also choose to talk about love, it’s not a completely hokey idea. Jesus sums up “The Law” (Torah) and the Prophets (The rest of the old testament) in two sentences. It’s no coincidence that both of those sentences have the instruction to love.

So the teaching was sweet but just being together in a super low stress atmosphere was way better. I’ll go for a 4 km run for 40 minutes anytime, I can’t get enough of being with these people.
