The first cross-country experience of the year
december 22nd, 2007
So this morning, I reached our family cabin in Gausdal, having gotten up very early – I do mean very – and catching a plane from Haugesund.
After having a late breakfast with the family, we decided to go for a round of cross-country around Skeikampen. This was really nice. The sun was glowing, and as we neared the top, it was just setting over the mountains – beautiful!
I don’t know what it is, but somehow, God always feels closer when I’m out in the mountains. I talked to a friend this evening who doesn’t share that experience, but I think that to me it’s simply the peace and quiet that is out there, and is hard to find anywhere else.
Forget wellness, spas, massage and the rest – go cross-country skiing instead – most stress-relieving 
(ok, the other stuff is probably pretty good too)

You are so lucky Jonas!
I wish we had snow here as well..
It looks beautiful!
And btw, ‘your friend’ share your opinion about the peace and the quiteness. God always comes closer when we give Him the oppertunity to talk to us
I guess it’s hard for us to hear His voice if we are surronded with all kinds of sounds..
I guess I just don’t use enough time out in the quiet mountains, that’s why I don’t share your experience..

Who’s this friend you’re talking about. I’m really having a hard time figuring it out.
:-p
