"Strange that so few come to the woods to see how the pine lives and grows and spires, lifting its evergreen arms to the light – to see its perfect success."
~ Henry David Thoreau ~

Passions


Passions are about things that combine interests, fun and faith.  Camping in a living history event is one of those.  Each year, over 1,400 people live together for a week, cooking, competing, playing and worshiping as if it was the 18th Century.  Clicking the photo will take you to more pictures of the 2010 Church Service.  You can also find more information at the Florida Frontiersmen, Inc. web site.

The favorite activity for Lost Pine is the 18th century church service held in a tent on the first Sunday.  Here are a few photos and some of the past sermons given at both the Alafia service and one sermon given in several local churches on July 4th.

"Freedom is Never Free" is a message given on the 4th of July.  It is a first person message where one of the signer's of the Declaration of Independence, Caesar Rodney, is interviewed by the church pastor.

Freedom is Never Free

My passions also extend to taking youth on a mission trip.  Here is my latest adventure, a trip called Lost and Found
