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

Matthiesen State Park Etc.

Last Saturday afternoon we had a great day hiking with Dan & Anne & co. With cliffs to climb, logs to cross, stairs and bridges to navigate, and lots of stepping stones across streams - - - what’s not to like?

I came through this cool tunnel right before Jacob jumped down, almost but not quite landing on me. Complete with the rest of the crowd hollering, I think it was supposed to scare me but it didn’t. I’m too brave for that.

And Sunday afternoon…

but that was the end of the px I took! After a delicious supper and a really nice singing at the Elgin Fellowship Center, we headed home again… very thankful for the wonderful weekend and great times spent with really special people.

Thanks again, Mosers!
