This morning Rebekah and I were fortunate to get out for a beautiful hike in the Gorge. We went to Angle's Rest right off Hwy 84 and again I was reminded at just how beautiful Oregon is. I have found that the most inspirational elements for me come from the most simple of moments. One of those moments happened today as we were eating lunch at the top of the cliffs. There was a bench that was marked with a memorial plaque that said, "In loving memory of Susan L. Hendricks. Beautiful wife, daughter, mother." As we were reading the plaque, the husband and son of the woman who died just happened to walk up the mountain with a bouquet of flowers to pay their respects. It was such a blessing to hear the story about how the bench was built at the top of this mountain to honor the memory of his wife.
