A JOURNEY TO MINNESOTA:

Some journeys are bitter-sweet. This trip was one of those.

It was sweet because we love visiting with family, friends and our church. It was bitter because the passing of my Dad left a void that made everything different.

During our stay we kept busy trying to help mom…though it became obvious pretty fast that Dad must have been super-human! I don’t know how in the world he did everything he did. And mom, too! She works very hard.

We were also privileged to journey to the church I grew up attending, a small church with a huge heart. Everyone is friendly and caring, and exactly the type of journey that everyone should experience. Very sweet!

A JOURNEY TO SOUTH AMERICA:

Bryan went on quite a journey this summer…to South America…

There he spent several weeks in a remote area helping tribal people in many ways. He helped mow the grass with a machete, build a water tower for a blind woman, paint the village church, weed the jungle gardens, and other jobs.

He was able to see the sights, sleep in a hammock for several weeks, see many interesting plants and animals, get a sand-mite buried under his toenail, taste new foods -like chicken feet- and make great friends!

A JOURNEY TO COLLEGE:

Another major journey this summer was taking Bryan to college. Definitely bitter-sweet! We are going to miss him around the house. We are going to have to trust God to take care of him. We are going to have to settle for quality time together, not quantity!

Pray for him! Pray for us! It is a new experience for us…a new journey…
