Hello,
Sorry to leave Y'all hanging like that, waiting and wondering and biting your nails about what on earth was the promise.............................
Actually, I know the truth. You are just like me, enjoying your summer, only looking at blogs as a diversion now and then, seeking something to entertain you for a minute while you wait for....any number of things, water to boil, etc.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I will tell you a little about the picture in the next post. We had a wonderful reunion with our Johnson half. And it was great to see everyone. We did LOTS of hiking which was very beautiful. And in preparation for one of our hikes, we had a meeting where we made a family flag. On it were the words, "We Promise." Each member of the family signed it. We taught them about a great captain of a great army who motivated and inspired his people by ripping his jacket and making a flag. On it he wrote the things they were fighting for: God, family, freedom. And then each person who agreed with him, ripped their clothes and promised not to forsake their God.
Well.....we did not rip any clothes, but we all signed this flag and promised to live clean and worthly lives so that we too would not forsake our God. It was inspiring. And I love to think of Grandpa Johnsons arm held high with the flag flapping in the wind. Very cool.
