God's handiwork is awesome

Deb and the boys and I are in Seattle, visiting Deb's sister Laura and some other friends (thanks Laura for hosting us!).

Yesterday we drove down to Mount St. Helens... amazing and awesome, the power of the earth and the hardiness of life--all God's handiwork. Here we are, with the view of Mount St. Helens' crater in the background, as we rested at a a spot called "Devil's elbow" on Johnston ridge.


We're enjoying these family times, but also thinking a lot about Liberia, as we'll be headed back next month. Praying and reflecting.... Rick for all of us
