God Has My Back

Standing at Idaho’s Galena Pass Overlook, I faced west to watch the sunset for a good half-hour. My husband was critically ill. The long goodbye of 10 years was nearly over.
Sorrow. Pain. Pre-death grief. Tears, angst and dread….

Then I turned to go back to my car, and behind me, glowing in overwhelming splendor, were the White Castle Mountains, which had been right there glowing behind me the whole time. I almost fell over! Sunset reflected back at me as the silent voice of God confirmed yet again that He will always have my back.
