Weathered Journey came to me almost entirely while bike riding on the Cedar Valley Nature Trail in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. While riding I saw an old weathered out-building off to the side of the trail and the Lord immediately gave me the words to the song.
The words reflect the pain our family (as many others) has experienced through the loss of those we love and how God brought us through while walking the narrow path with us. I dedicate this song to the grandbabies, parents, children and friends we have loved and will see again one day.
Many thanks to :
Thank you, Abba, for continually singing songs over me and allowing me to hear You.
Fred Rogers for his unending support and encouragement and for always being my favorite singing partner.
Sarah Coulter (Rogers) for sharing her beautiful voice to this project as "butter" to my "bread."
Mike Hall for adding his smooth violin to yet another project of ours and for his joyful spirit on all occasions.
Mike Cox - for his awesome guitar lines and lay-back melodies that seem to always flow through his fingers.
Cyprian Alexander for his continuous support and help and endless hours of sharing his expertise with me as we honed the technical side of this project.
Mike Naumann for the cover photo of his events barn at Top of the Hill Farm, which was so similar to the one I saw off the bike trail. Mike hosts events and gatherings in the Chillicothe, Illinois area. His website is topofthehilleventbarn.com and his phone is (309) 966-8079.
