On Praying Lauds While Over the Rockies
I slept after breakfast, and when I woke up, as I tried to pull the blanket back onto my shoulder, I glanced out the window and saw them: the Rocky Mountains. It’s the first time I’d ever seen them, and they were stunning. For some reason, God blessed me with more breaks in the clouds…
Surrounded by Beauty
I’ve been blogging about the Faith a lot, but I wanted to share some beautiful pictures of our drive/hike on the Blue Ridge Parkway here in Southwest Virginia this past weekend.

Big Girl has been taking my camera and taking pictures lately. Here’s a sampling of some of her work. Taken from sitting in a swing, looking up.
