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

When He Was On The Cross

by The Florida Boys

I'm not on an ego trip
I'm nothing on my own
I've made mistakes and often slip
Just common flesh and bones
But I'll prove someday just what I say
I'm of a special kind
For when He was on the cross
I was on His mind


A look of love was on His face
Thorns were on His head
Blood was on that scarlet robe
And it stained a crimson red
Though His eyes were on the crowd that day
He looked ahead in time
And when He was on the cross
I was on His mind

He knew me, yet He loved me
He whose glory makes the Heaven shine
So unworthy of such mercy
Yet when He was on the cross
I was on His mind


He knew me, yet He loved me
He whose glory makes the Heaven shine
So unworthy of such mercy
Yet when He was on the cross
I was on His mind
Yes, when He was on the cross
I was on His mind

 

I woke up this morning with this song on my mind so decided to share it.

Powerful.
