Back home after 11 days on the road and 7000+ miles

 Thank you all for your prayers.  The trip went without a hitch and Dad and I returned home yesterday!  He was so glad to get out of the vehicle.  Me too!!!  Some of the joy of the trip was seeing some of our family along the way.  We just have Rhoda, #4, and Norm to see when we get back to Florida.


I started as a solo and then picked up Tom and his step grandson to make a trio.  When we made it to California, we added Dad and so we had a quartet coming back.  After dropping off Tom and Trenton we had a duet the remainder of the way home.


The stop in Michigan allowed Tom and his family to give Dad a great meal, a place to sleep for the night, and time to catch up with son #3!


The stop in New Hampshire offered us another meal and a place to sleep for the night.  Dad got to catch up with son #1, Matthew and his lovely wife Patti.  


I find Stephanie when I enter my families' homes.  Here is a lighthouse in Matthew and Patti's home.  It is the Presque Isle Harbor Lighthouse.


This lighthouse is in Tom and Tammy's home.  I think it is one found in the U.P.  We went in the summer but Stephanie made it a winter scene.


Matthew took me on a "mini" hike while in New Hampshire near his home to see a great overlook.  If I look tired it is because I was.  Sea level man was "sucking wind" to make it to the top but it was worth it.  


Lastly, we get to have this great guy live with us and his furry friend Snuggy.  Dad is getting adapted to his new surroundings and soon will have a phone, so watch out.  By the way, I'm son #2.  

Thank you again for the prayers.  Transitions are a part of life and we were made by God to care for one another.  Dad sure has done his part over his lifetime with 90 in the sights next month.  He and mom took care of mom's parents in our home and then dad's mom later.  Dad would go on to care for mom and then Sandy, his second wife.  I'm thankful we have a place for him to rest.

Galatians #15 - Galatians 6:11-18 - "On The Road Again..."

Image
  Another week closer and it involves some more travel for the Wolfgangs.  I feel like the Willy Nelson song, " On the road again... "  I don't know if I agree with the next line though. " ...I can't wait to get on the road again. " One of the members of the church in Wisconsin calculated that I will travel well over 10,000 miles to make this transition.  Traveling mercies prayers please. Last Sunday we will look at Paul's final words to the churches in Galatia.  He brought them the gospel (good news) message of Jesus and what resulted were churches forming throughout the region.  The letter is to defend that message that our salvation comes from and is in Christ alone.  Christ's sacrifice on the cross was sufficient for the forgiveness of our sins.  The summary statement of the letter is found in  Galatians 6:15 (LSB) .  " For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. "  Translated another way earlier in  Ga

  Berthoud Pass Here we are at the top of Berthoud Pass.  It was a whirlwind week to conduct a " hand off " service in Wisconsin on 3/17 and then preach a Palm Sunday sermon in Colorado on 3/24.  We give God all the glory for this happening.  So there are two video links at the bottom of this blog.  One is for the Wisconsin service and the other is for the Colorado service.  I racked up over 12,000 in the last 7 weeks.   I love to take these pictures sitting from the front row of chairs and listening to the one God has provided for the church I had been serving for 20 months.  I now have 3 and I am so thankful for the opportunity God gave us to serve Him in this type of ministry over the last 5 years.  It has been great to add to our daily prayer list Zach in Maine, Chris in Ohio and now Stephen in Wisconsin. This was our set up for the 2000+ mile trip.  No " hiccups " except for the strong eastern winds in Kansas.  Of course everything was quite a bit dirtier when

Resurrection Sunday in a new space...Matthew 27.62-28.20

Image
  Resurrection Sunday has come and gone but it was a sweet day to be with the gathered saints of the Stillwater Community Chapel .  We are venturing through the Gospel of Matthew and this Sunday will take us back to Matthew 1.1 but last Sunday we were in Matthew 27.62-28.20.  It was a lot to cover so the white board was truly a help to keep me on track.  This year in my Resurrection Sunday message, I focused on the contrast of the cover-up story of the disciples stealing the body of Jesus fueled by a bride and the commission of speaking of a risen Lord fueled by boldness . After the service upstairs, we ventured downstairs to the lower level and had a great meal together.  The conversations around the tables allowed us to continue to talk about the passage of Scripture we covered upstairs.  Maybe this is a very informal picture of what happens at the  Waushara Community Church called the " Going Deeper " classes of the Come For More hour following the Sunday morning worshi
