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

Only Jesus Knows

You will fall in love with Moise and his family from page one of Only Jesus Knows. When you read this book you will have a hard time putting it down... because it's so heartbreakingly raw and sad and inspiring and engaging and entertaining... and it's all true. Moise's life story engages like fiction... but it's not fiction. 

Only Jesus Knows taught me much about Individuals with Developmental Disabilities. Maybe this is partly why this book affected me so much: I didn't know. I believe God has done and is still doing amazing things through Moise's life. IDD are an invisible voiceless population among us. This book is their voice, and author Karol Glueck Holmes is its steward. 

This book is not just a plea for awareness of and help for IDD. It is profound Biblical truth...it is not only Moise's story but also the Gospel story. These two stories are woven together in an incredible way that only God can orchestrate. From salvation and redemption to conception and pro-life to grief and loss - this book explores it all. God has used Moise's family and their myriad of experiences for His purposes and to further His Name. The crazy hard of Moise's life - and thus that of his family - is so wonderfully balanced by his family's crazy love for him. It is stunning.

Only Jesus Knows is the perfect God-ordained Spirit-inspired message of unconditional love that needs to be shared. It's rare, it's powerful, and it's breathtakingly beautiful.
