This is just a blog about my thoughts, my family, my everyday life. Because I am a Christian and have ups and downs like everyone else, I hope it will encourage others to either turn to Christ for the first time, or lean on Him when times are rough. Often life is just random and funny. I started this blog after many years of writing to my church about our vacations. They began to encourage me to blog and finally I am. Thanks for reading.

"Behold, upon the mountains, the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace!" Nahum 1:15

God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him. John Piper

Let's Go To Garner State Park...

Do you remember that song from the 60's?  It has been in my head lately, having spent a couple of days in West Texas at Garner State Park with four of our grandchildren.  We used to camp there - in tents, mind you - ages ago when our boys were little.  It's probably been thirty-five years since our last visit.  I am glad to say it hasn't changed a bit, though our accommodations have.  We stayed in nearby Uvalde in a hotel.  I think we will go again, and forego the hotel for a rented pop-up.  It was inconvenient with our things in two places.
My brother and his family, niece and her family, and our friends, the Littlejohns were also there - spread out, but not too far from each other.
Here are some pix of our fun.


This is how I saw Luke most of the time.
