The picture above so perfectly fits and describes my story—uphill, downhill, round and round, exciting, and scary, bright spots and dark spots. My “joyful journey” has sometimes been an amazing thrill ride and sometimes just a big downward spiral! But, the emotional, mental, and physical struggles are all part of the story, and through it all, I see clear reflections of God’s amazing grace.

Time Out!

I'm goin' to that beautiful land known as "Big Sky Country"!
(not to be confused with "That Big Beautiful Land in the Sky")

It's time to go to Montana, for a visit with my dad, some family friends, my daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren; plus I get to meet my new grandpuppy!

Also while I'm there, I'll be participating in (and helping to prepare) a seder, celebrating passover among a small congregation of Messianic Jews, led by my friends, Louis and Cary (blogger CML Shearings). I am really excited about this trip--every part of it!

Neat clocks--bet it takes you a little while to change them for daylight savings--and then back in a few quickly passing months. Sunrise and sunset brought back fond memories. Hope you have a great time with family, kids, g-kids and friends. The Sedor sounds interesting. Have you taken part in one before?

The brown clock on the wall, just under on the second row, under the big one with all the pictures of the kids. That brown clock on the left gets my attention Jeannie.
