[for those of you hoping for a good camp story..sorry...:grins: look elsewhere today...]
now...hopefully most of you have been skinny-dipping so you know the freedom that comes with it..course there are some limitations to that freedom :grins: but there's still something compelling and beautiful about it...but before one strips one tends to feel a bit vulnerable in the moment (reasonable of course) and we want to hold onto all our security...funny that we find security and dignity from a bit of cloth...anyways I was gardening today and was raking away at these bushes, trying to get all the leaves out from under their branches...this involved a bit of yanking because they seemed to be clinging so tightly onto these leaves..it's like they're thinking, 'hold up now, these leaves have covered me all fall and winter, how dare you steal them'...its like this protective covering...but in fact, it won't stay a protective covering because by removing the leaves I am actually allowing them to breathe in the fresh spring air...something that is vital to plants of course....sometimes I wonder if Jesus feels like He's gardening our hearts...tugging away these 'protective' coverings that have kept us safe through winter and what not, but now what we need most is fresh air and room to breathe..."and they were naked and they were not ashamed"(Genesis) Adam and Eve were created in the nude with this freedom and closeness to God..it was only after sin divided them that they became ashamed of their nudity and tried to cover up....I hope Jesus strips away our 'coverings', our layers of things that we are holding tightly onto for our security, our dignity....I was able to free these simple plants to breathe..sure they still looked pretty bedraggled, bony, and all over the place with their leaf droppings, but they gained fresh air.....Jesus is my fresh air, man He is so good at freeing me...again and again..so...what to take from this? everything of course..and a recommendation for skinnydipping, altho don't forget--there are some limits :grins: God gives us some rockin analogies sometimes eh?

Beth, I'm not sure this post is appropriate or "child-safe". I may have to report it.I think your nudist ways should be kept to yourself. I dunno how they raised you in South Carolina, but up here we're into wearing clothes. Go join one of those Adult Lifestyle places you see along the highways so you and all your pervo nudey friends can keep your freelovin' hippy ways from the rest of us. This is Canada, a country of sound moral value... We stand by a code of ethics deemed appropriate by our Prime Minister. Just cuz your presidents have all preferred to be nude (Clinton) doesn't mean you can bring your naked American bodies up here cuz we don't want 'em. It's cold up here and we wear clothes and if we want nudity, it'll be done Canadian style, with a hockey puck and some syrup (don't think too hard about that). So stop trying to enforce your ways upon us America, we're our own country. I don't even acknowledge the Queen as anything more than a figurehead anymore. Goh Canada! ...freakin' naked Americans.
i'm not even american dumbhead...british citizenship all the way...who stuck something up your butt anyhow? clearly from the stories you've told me of camp and such you are very familiar with nudity, you hypocrite...plus the post was about gardening, hello, or did you miss all that..
