The Welcome Home Sign on the Garage Door-- by Chase and Clare
Fear not, for I am with you, says the Lord. Isa 45
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies..." Jn 11:25
“God’s will was not hidden somewhere ‘out there’ . . . the situations [in which I found myself] were his will for me. What he wanted was for me to accept these situations as from his hands, to let go of the reins and place myself entirely at his disposal.”
Jesuit Walter Ciszek’s (1904–1983)

I love the sign comments! Well...I guess there is nothing left to say but "Welcome Home Johnson Family, Welcome Home"
Love Viv
Glad to hear you made it home safely. Beautiful, smiling faces to greet you!
Love you,
Jeri
That was a well deserved welcome home party! We will miss you a lot, but I can't wait to hear all the new adventures in Pungo.
My daily question will be: "What will Joe and Karen do next?"
Love you, Elis
Ok, I think Cliff was the last one to post a comment from my computer!
Miracles never cease! I'm in!
I am so bummed I am the process of missing you guys. I hate these feelings. You have been exceptional roommates for the past 6 weeks which makes it even more difficult. I do love that picture in the convertible. Reminds me of your car which is incredible. Thank you guys for loving us.

I prayed for you as you left Maui in a huge wind storm. I'm glad to see Sean is wearing shorts. . . Must be great weather, and great family. Hope you get the house squared away. Keep us posted on your church search.
Love you, Bill and Lu
(Miracles never cease! yes!) Seeing Craig opening his own blogger account is proof positive of the kind of friendship you guys have (for the love of the Johnsons, he's commenting on a blog!). What a great example you guys are - of how to "do life together with friends, and that there are friends who sticks closer than a brother". I must admit I am a bit envious. However, the bottomline is, it's never too late to develop long and lasting relationships, for me and for everyone. As for you, near or far I am sure your friendship will continue to grow and blossom - a different season for sure, but it's a season ... and someday you guys will be together again.
Love you guys!
It's been a week since tears of sadness were shed on Maui and tears of joy flowed in the new world. Thought about you all week and finally found time to read that you arrived safely and celebrated. Perfect!
Ciao for now.
