Well, tomorrow we leave new friends and a new favorite place. We have so many more adventures planned for the next few weeks. We’re off to a campground in Concrete, Washington, which is close to the North Cascades National Park. Last evening, we drove to Tacoma (only about 30 minutes from here) and saw Franklin Graham on his Decision America tour. He was really good and he told it like it is. He was bold enough to say in a very liberal, very pro lgbt area that God intended marriage to be between a man and a woman. His message was for Christians to become involved in the political decision making in our towns, states, and country. I’ve been collecting t-shirts from all the places we’ve been – this is the best one yet.

Pictures from the tour – a beautiful, cool evening in Tacoma.
Pictures from our ferry ride to south Seattle (didn’t get off) then on to Vashon Island.
Last night, listening to Franklin Graham, I couldn’t help but reflect on the past ten years of my life – how it has changed. Yesterday was the 10th anniversary of the day Thomas was injured. I wasn’t walking with the Lord at that time. How it took such a trial for me to turn to Jesus Christ. And how the greatest loss of my life led to the greatest blessing of my life – a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Even with sorrow, I have so much joy now. Thank You, Lord, thank You for never giving up on me.
