Here's a picture of a wagon at Grave Creek in Oregon. This is the site of a covered bridge and museum along the Applegate trail, the southern fork of the Oregon Trail.

Back From Californi'
This is the first time I've been able to blog since returning from California. The visit with my grandparents went great. I was also able to see my cousin Mary and her fairly new husband. We also had the opportunity to visit with my aunt and uncle, and I think they found out some things about me that they didn't know about me, and vis versa. For instance, they now know that I sometimes attend folk dances. I think that one surprised them a little bit.
I want to upload some pictures from our trip, but my dial-up internet refuses to cooperate with me, so maybe next post.

Love
Eph 5:1-2
1 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children;2 and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you, and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.(NAS)
As believers, we are called to walk in love, just as Jesus did. It's no coincidence that the verse then continues to remind that Christ gave Himself up for us. If we are to love others like Christ loved us, that means giving ourselves up for the sake of others. That phrase, "and [He] gave Himself up for us..." brings strong emotion. To give up every part of myself in service for others, (and in turn for God because it says Jesus' sacrifice to save us was a fragrant sacrifice to God) that is something I pray that God can help me attain to.

Our Row
First of all, I'd like to say that I haven't blogged the past week or so because I've been extremely busy. After cleaning house in preparation for my aunt and uncle's visit, there was... well, there was my aunt and uncle's visit. We went to Seattle and took the underground tour there. We went on a sightseeing tour around the Hood Canal. Today, they went to church with us. My sister and her son also visited (my sister for the first time), which meant that for the first time I was part of a family that took up a full row in the sanctuary. The house is clean now, and things should slow down and let me blog more again (I think). By the way, I don't think anyone would mind me saying that my sister visiting our church is a big answer to prayer. And it looks like she might come on a regular basis from now on.
