I recently returned from a trip to Crater Lake in Oregon. I was blown away be the peace and serenity there, as well, of course the beauty. Photos cannot do it justice, but I share these with you just the same.

There is a strength and power in family. The past few years have been challenging from external influences, but faced with this turmoil, I have found solace and the importance of family. Not that it was ever in doubt, but darkness makes one appreciate the light. We have enjoyed some significant family moments this year that, at other times, we may have taken for granted.
