The tulip bed Orin planted a few years ago
Son 2:11 For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
Son 2:12 The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;
The Journey
It's time to write again. This is the blog that I used when Orin was sick. The blog I used through my journey with cancer. The blog I sporadically used in between then and now. I've been quilting, and grand-mothering and starting a new marriage as a pastor's wife. Now, I start another phase, as caregiver for my elderly mother. My Blog title before was Therefore will not we fear... from Psalm 46. Most of the time we didn't, but when we did, the blog title was there to remind me that God had it in the palm of his hand. As I reflected on the title, I knew, that His Word was no less important and fear no less manageable, but I realized that a new title perhaps reflected the purpose and direction of my writings. The Journey. Life is one. All of life. Not just the brief time we spend on this earth but the whole of it. It is an exciting trip, a boring trip, a sometimes difficult, sometimes painful trip. But a trip ...

The photo of Orin's tulip bed gave me a start! It seems we have yet one more thing in common...because we also have a huge bed of tulips. Malcom and I and our daughter, Sue, planted 1,000 tulip bulbs in the fall of 2002 so that she could have live tulips for her May 03 wedding. The joke was on us, though. They bloomed in April and we still had to buy flowers! But since Sue and Malcom are both with Jesus now, you can imagine how precious those flowers and the memories of our time together planting them is to me.
You all are in my prayers. Enjoy the flowers!
Love,
Carol
