A-a-a-a-annnnnd We’re Off! [Moving Day]
A-a-a-a-annnnnd We’re Off!
This is the next “jump” in what has been developing in our life along the way of the Jesus Journey. We’ve shared in earlier posts ( here and here) that we were joining a church plant in Olympia, Washington and we are now at the day that we head out for this new adventure. Wow!
Special thanks go out to all our friends that helped us to pack up the big yellow truck. I thought we had dispensed of most of our “stuff.” We still have way more than I thought we did and the truck is packed to the gills to prove it. Our departure is filled with sadness and excitement at the same time…as well as a little nervous anticipation for the ride out (I’m not a trucker and lack the experience of one…but I’m a quick study; “10-4 Good Buddy”).
So, I plan to blog our way out to Washington. I know the ride crosses some of the most beautiful scenery and landscapes that our country has to offer. I’ve got my camera charged and plan to stop along the way to take plenty of photos to share with you each evening. I hope you’ll join us and keep us in your prayers as we travel. As always, you can subscribe to the blog to receive email updates or just check in periodically to catch up. I’ve linked the updates to Facebook, if you’re a FB’r…
“The whole Jesus demands the whole man.” ~~Archbishop Michael Ramsey
I am giving Thee worship with my whole life, I am giving Thee assent with my whole power, I am giving Thee praise with my whole tongue, I am giving Thee honour with my whole utterance.
I am giving Thee love with my whole devotion, I am giving Thee kneeling with my whole desire, I am giving Thee love with my whole heart, I am giving Thee affection with my whole sense, I am giving Thee my existence with my whole mind, I am giving Thee my soul, O God of all gods. (Celtic dressing prayer)

Dean and I are praying ya WEST! Keep er movin’I-90 WEST our irreplaceable friends and you’ll arrive in the “land of Oz (ooops, I mean Olympia, WA.”
Jeffrey you know how our hearts are applauding the fact that you are once again taking the time to pictorially blog this leg of your Jesus Journey so we can all make the the journey vicariously. We are traveling with you in our minds and hearts…..
A good nights sleep this evening to each of you after your first day on the road! Slather some PBJ’s in the motel room before going off to bed to satisfy that evening Borden ritual and we will catch up with you tomorrow! A pop tart for the am ritual for Laurie and Josh and something a bit more substantial for the “truck driver” and you’ll be good to go for DAY 2! Can’t wait to see some of your photographic shutter buggin’ along the way Jeffrey. “10-4 Good Buddies!” Love ya, Bethly & Dean
I pray that spiritual refueling is unusually easy for you as you travel.
Lord God, grant them to be “interiorly recollected” even as the externals would seem to war against it.
Shalom, dear friends ~
