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

4-24-11 Then Came The Morning

They all walked away, nothing to say, They just lost their dearest friend.

All that he said, now He was dead, So this was the way it would end.

The dreams they had dreamed, were not what they seemed, Now that he was dead and gone.

The garden, the jail, the hammer, the nail, How could a night be so long?

Then came the morning! Night turned into day,

The stone was rolled away, Hope rose with the dawn.

Then came the morning! Shadows vanished before the sun,

Death had lost and life had won For morning had come.

The angel, the star, the kings from afar, The wedding, the water, the wine.

Now it was done, They’d taken her Son, Wasted before his time.

She knew it was true, she’d watched him die, too, She’d heard them call Him just a man.

But deep in her heart, she knew from the start Somehow her Son would live again.

Then came the morning! Night turned into day.

The stone was rolled away, Hope rose with the dawn.

Then came the morning! Shadows vanished before the sun,

Death had lost and life had won For morning had come.

[Bill & Gloria Gaither]

Hallelujah, He Is Risen!
