Some Journey

Bert

This photo was taken by my dad, who, with my mom, joined in on the CVPC hike to see wildflowers on Pidgeon Mtn. I didn't go, because we thought the weather was going to be cold, and because it were concerned that Noah wouldn't be up for the hike. However, I heard that Sydney was not far from Albert's side at any given moment during the hike. And as far as Joseph was concerned, the only one on the hike that really mattered was Murphy, Albert and Karen's dog.
I blogged a few days ago about how much I appreciate the elders at our church. Albert very quickly became one of our favorite people in the world. He and his wife, Karen, are such great examples of people who constantly put into practice the promise we make in the PCA when we baptize our children, to take advantage of whatever opportunities we have to help train this child in the way that he should go. To go on would reiterate much of what I said in "what it really means to be an elder", but I am so grateful to have Albert and Karen in my own life as well as in the lives of my children.
Karen is having pretty major surgery this Thursday, so I hope you all will join our family in supporting them in prayer.
