Year: 2018

     I have been thinking about “thankfulness” for the past few days.  You see, Jim and I took a gamble (without looking at our Truckers Route map) and decided on a scenic route out of Oakhurst, California to Coleville, California.  We wound up on Sonora Pass on hwy 108, this after taking hwy 49.  […]

     Since embarking on our journey we have had several visitors to our campsites.  I have photographed a few of them.  As we move from site to site I can’t help thinking of Jesus and his disciples as they traveled from town to town.  Basically I think of Jesus.  Although He became man, emptying […]

      Over the years I have been learning to shut my mouth!  Sometimes I am very proficient at this and other times, not so much.  With the help of the Holy Spirit I find I can calmly listen to friends, family and strangers without the constant need to interject, after all, their comments […]

Even though we don’t pick our family, God does. He knows our links and connections before we are born. I […]

          I was thinking about what we gain and lose in this world as we pack up today to leave Minot.  In Minot reside our daughter, son in-law and two grandsons.  Now we knew this day would come but that does not make it easy.  Tears have been flowing.  What makes […]

I have not disclosed much about myself.  Let me add a little bit of background.  I was a special education teacher for approximately 15 1/2 years and had volunteered with children with disabilities in my younger years and worked as a work supervisor with disabled adults.   Many of the children I had the privilege to […]
