Every now and then you meet someone who completely inspires and challenges you, simply by their example, to lead your life more by faith than the security (false or not) of what is seen and known.

Through a series of life events, we were blessed to meet not only one, but two, such people in Kim and Troy Meeder, Co-Founders of Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch.

Located near Bend, Oregon and started in what once was a dry cinder pit, CPYR has blossomed into a mecca of fertility both of the ground and the spirit.  CPYR is a place where miracles happen, and thankfully, Kim is a wonderful author, which means the stories are bound in (tear drenched) pages that can be so inspiring, they’re difficult to put down.

I’ve been blessed to shoot for CPYR on numerous occasions and consider them one of my favorite ministries to be a part of.  One of the funnest projects to date was shooting the cover for Kim’s latest book, “Blind Hope.”  You can read more (and see a video) about Blind Hope here.

This isn’t just a story about Mia (pooch) and Laurie (caretaker of pooch) it’s a story about God and you.

Pick up a copy on-line or at Barnes and Noble, you’ll be glad you did.
