Youth Group Canoe Trip

The youth made an outing to Tom Wallace Lake in Jefferson Memorial Forest for a day of canoeing and cavorting. We had planned on canoeing the Blue River, but the drought means that we'd have spent much more time portaging than paddling.

A grand time was had by all.

I thought I'd post a few favorite water-related quotes along with a few photos from the trip. Enjoy.

The first river you paddle runs through the rest of your life. It bubbles up in pools and eddies to remind you who you are.

Lynn Noel

It is pleasant to have been to a place the way a river went.

Henry David Thoreau

There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.

Psalm 46:3
