July 2026
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

Grandpa’s tractor is finally back from the shop. I’ve been patiently waiting for this old basketball hoop post to disappear; it’s been the source of many splinters and I’m glad it’s gone!

It started to drizzle after lunch and didn’t quit ALL AFTERNOON. Which was fine, because the plan was to work in the barn anyway.

After supper we enjoyed an evening of fellowship and wrapping Bibles at Dale & Meg’s. We were preparing them to be sent to prisons. It’s encouraging to see requests for Bibles are greatly increasing. In these tumultuous times where can we go but to the Lord?  Our prayer is that each Bible would lead its reader to salvation and the peace that only comes through the blood of Jesus Christ. Thanks Meg for the pictures!

Jewel helped for awhile, then she had fun with Maria’s toys.

After a snack and more visiting, we were home to bed – and it was STILL drizzling!
