I walked out the front door of my "Bugout" home in Gates a while ago, and I was struck by the utter beauty of it all.

Peaceful, quiet, safe . . . and completely beautiful.

With all the craziness going on in the world, and all the terribly bad news, I found myself just standing there staring at the awesome beauty of God's creation.

It was so genuinely relaxing to take a moment and just . . . be.
