Lori's thoughts

Have you ever had a place that you can’t wait to return to? It’s the place that captures your heart, wakes your senses and fills your mind with lingering memories that you can touch and feel and experience. It’s the place you can’t stop talking or thinking about.

It’s the place where time stands still, where time doesn’t matter and where you are living in the moment continually. It’s the place where the presence of God is so real and close that beauty and peace surround you.

I have returned from such a place recently and I already long to go back. It’s my paradise on earth and there is no other place that gives rest to my soul as this one.

Next summer will be the tenth anniversary of my family’s annual camping trip to Cape Blanco along the Oregon coast and I can’t wait!

So where’s your paradise here on earth?
