A lot has happened since my last post, for those who havent heard we were up at Mt Rainier sledding on New Years Day when an armed gunman came up the mountain and a ranger who setup a roadblock to stop him from reaching us was shot and killed. The gunman evaded the police for about a day and for 15 hours of that we were held at the Visitors Center up at paradise to keep us safe. Ranger Margaret Anderson is a hero to us all and saved a lot of lives that day (mostly young children) and I can not even imagine what would have happened had she not saved us, our lives would be a lot different. She leaves behind her husband and two little girls (3&1), please pray for them and if you happen to visit Mt Rainier - stop at her memorial, we owe her our lives and she will never be forgotten.
There are a lot of stories in the news and online, but this one is one of my favorites that is really well written and puts it into perspective: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/opinion/2017179033_guest08barcott.html
Thank You for all the thoughts and prayers - I truly feel someone was watching over all of us that day.
