September 2025
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

This is how you settle a stoop a little more firmly into the dirt. “One, two, three, JUMP!” Pretty techy, huh?

P1130109

 

And that’s a little glimpse of what we’ve been up to lately.

Also lately, we’ve been listening to this song which is on an album we got the kids for Christmas. If you’re having a down day, think on these words.  And rejoice for the blood which redeems us!

 

Covered By The Blood

Once in sin’s darkest night I was wandering alone;
A stranger to mercy I stood.
But the Savior came nigh
When he heard my faint cry,
And He put my sins under the blood.

Refrain:

They are covered by the blood;
They are covered by the blood;
My sins are all covered by the blood.
Mine iniquities so vast
Have been blotted out at last,
My sins are all covered by the blood.

From the burden I carried now I am set free,
For Jesus has lifted my load.
O the love and the grace I received in its place
When he put my sins under the blood.

Refrain

I can ne’er understand why He sought even me,
Why His lifeblood on Calvary flowed.
But sufficient for me,
Since He died on the tree,
He hath put my sins under the blood.

Refrain

Now He comes to my heart and removes every care;
He bears all my cumbering load.
In a pathway replete
With His love are my feet,
Since He put my sins under the blood.

Refrain

  2. Actually, as I looked again, that's probably not even the kitchen. Anyway, looks like you are getting lots done in lots of houses! :)

    1. Hi Roxy - the girls were stripping wallpaper, and the blue was under the wallpaper! It's now a beautiful cheery white, and you're right that's not the kitchen; those built-in cupboards are in the master bedroom.
