It is an indescribable experience. Of course, it helps if you like contemporary Christian music, enjoy the outdoors, can take a little heat from the sun and some rain now and then. And if you can't stand (put a denomination name here), God will make sure the group camped next to you is from the First (U Name It) Church of Where-ever... :-)
I have gone enough years now that the memories tend to run together, and the people that attend with us have changed over the years, but every once in a while someone tells you what the experience has meant in their life... Like one guy who was a High School Senior the time he attended, then went to Bible college, and spent some time up in Toronto area doing inner city ministry. He invited me up for a weekend about seven years later and during that weekend he gave his testimony and said "I was struggling with my faith until one summer this really weird guy invited me to the Creation Festival, and that changed my life and walk with the Lord.."
Oh, and Tennessee isn't all that far from the site in PA... come join us some year ;-)
Seriously, would love to have other people join with us. Freepmail for further info..
I just might do that in ‘09! And I have a little moho to travel in.
