Every once in a while we go over to the Wildlife Safari Park in Ashland. There are lots of animals and a lot less people than the Omaha Zoo. We hike around, picnic, pet some barnyard animals, gawk at the HUGE bison then head home. Four of the babies are down in Texas and four are home with us. So a couple weeks ago we went over for the afternoon. It makes a lighter trip but looks pretty strange to pull up in our 15 passenger van and only 6 people get out.

Sometimes Lily has fun with my cell phone. I have fun seeing the results of that fun.
A June Wedding
July 8th, 2018 by Aubri
June is the time for weddings isn’t it? This June bride was a member of our congregation and the daughter of a pastor here in Nebraska. Phil officiated her service and Pastor Berndt preached the sermon for the wedding. It was so kind of them to invite our family to the wedding and reception and so much fun to catch up with some of my friends, the wives of other pastors in attendance.
Remembering Ebenezer

June will always be one more month of the year that makes miss this baby so much. He was due on June 22, 2017 and would have had his first birthday last month. The French words for “I miss you” translate “you are missing from me.”
And that’s how it is. I feel and know his absence from our home and our family. The empty spot. The birthday party we don’t have in June will always be there. We love you baby and wait to meet you where you are.
“Someday I will join him in death, but he can’t return to me.” The words of Kind David after the death of his baby son from II Samuel 12:23.
