March 2024
Over the years, we've always compared our family life to a wagon train heading west. Just as everyone had to do his part to get to Oregon years ago, so everyone in our family must do his/her part to make our journey through life successful. If somebody climbs in the wagon and lets the others do the work, we just don't make any progress. We all have to pull our weight and work together. Along the trail we find lots of pebbles that make for a smooth ride and some bigger rocks that jar us a little; we hit the occasional pothole that can slow us down. But if we purpose to search diligently, there are countless gold nuggets and precious gemstones along the way as well. This journal is an attempt to preserve some of those precious moments for our children, and our children's children, as together we travel this trail called life.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 16:11

2-6-11 Shenanigans

A nugget to remember from the afternoon sermon: GRACE = God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense.

We didn’t sing this – but we certainly could have….one of my favorite songs, especially the last verse. Truly awesome to contemplate.

Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace! How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost, but now am found, Was blind, but now I see.

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved;

How precious did that grace appear, The hour I first believed!

Through many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come;

‘Tis grace has brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years, Bright, shining as the sun,

We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise Than when we’ve first begun.
