This past fall, our church’s men’s retreat unfolded at the serene Camp Tejas, offering a much-needed escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. As a family man, the retreat provided a unique opportunity for quiet time with God, allowing me to deepen my spiritual connection in the midst of nature’s tranquility. The peaceful surroundings allowed me to disconnect from the daily grind and focus on fostering a deeper relationship with my faith. Whether through early morning prayer sitting next to a dewy spider’s web or a post-lunch hike through the Texas landscape, the time facilitated a sense of calm that helped rejuvenate me in my role as a devoted Christian, husband, and father. Beyond the spiritual aspects, as a photographer, the retreat at Camp Tejas offered a captivating canvas to connect with nature. Seeking the beauty of the landscape is always a refreshing break from the routine of suburban life.
In essence, Camp Tejas emerged as not just a retreat location but a haven for my soul. It seamlessly blended spiritual introspection with the chance to reconnect with nature, offering a well-rounded experience for family men seeking solace and inspiration. The memories forged at this retreat will undoubtedly linger, serving as a reminder of the importance of carving out moments for quiet reflection and communion with both God and the beauty of the great outdoors.
