And to take a moment, every day to stop and see the grandeur of God is just what my heart needs.
thank you for your post and your consciousness around the gift of nature. Your children are blessed to be inspired by you and the God you serve.

My 8-year-old daughter is into space and we have fallen off the practice of going out at night. Thank you for the reminder! But, I too seek to be outside as a means to get outside myself, finding that is where God can better get my attention. And yes, living in the PNW makes it easy. What a privilege! As you speak to your shaping experiences of travel, that I too share and also envy as you list your destinations, I am curious how your awakening to privilege, to opportunity and to mission shape your idea of travel. What does it mean to make that sense of THE BIGGER WORLD available to others? What part of the world and access to it is ours to enjoy versus recognizing the impact of our travels on those less privileged?
