"There is a joy in the journey

There's a light we can love on the way

There is a wonder and wildness to life

and freedom for those who obey.

And all those who seek it shall find it

A pardon for all who believe

Hope for the hopeless and sight for blind.

To all who have been born of the Spirit

And who share incarnation with Him

Who belong to eternity stranded in time

and weary of struggling with sin.

Forget not the hope that's before you

And never stop counting the cost

Remember the hopelessness when you were lost.

'Cause there is a joy in the journey

There's a light we can love on the way

There is a wonder and wildness to life

and freedom for those who obey."

This week we are planning to move from one place to another. Seth and Micah both play in the final Piano Master Class recital at University of Alaska Anchorage on Thursday at 7:00 p.m. Come and join us if you like. TeenPact staffers arrive from across the nation and the Eagle River Christian Homeschool Association's graduation is this Saturday. And also on Saturday Micah is to participate in a piano competition held at UAA. Continue to keep us in your prayers as we take the next steps in the journey of our life.

What a spiritually enriching visit we shared with Cal and Miriam when they delivered a barbecue dinner and prayed with us! Cal and Miriam standing in front of the barn that Cal built, the only remaining structure on the property.

We are so glad to have Grandma Mac visiting from Pennsylvania; she is a great encouragement to us.

This song is one of Doug's favorites and has meant much to him throughout our life together.
