Enjoying life before the accident. Josh was about 14-15 years old. He and his friends made their own bike jumps.

About Me

My photo
We have 5 children and 9 grandchildren. Eric and I were married in 1982 and are still together today. We met in church and raised our kids in that same church, We are still very involved at this same church. God has been there for us through many ups and downs in our family life. We have struggled with children with ADD, hyperactivity, strong wills, addictions, and one that became paralyzed at the age of 15 due to a car-pedestrian accident...he was the pedestrian. Eric and I have had to work through relationship issues (as do most couples), job loss, and financial problems. Even though we are believers, that doesn't mean we will never have problems. We just know that God is there for us through these struggles. There has been a lot of growth through these times.

What a wonderful week!
Now it is time to rest.
Thank you Ken and Verna for taking Josh to North Dakota for a hunt of a lifetime.  Also a huge thank you to Craig and Bobbie Egeland for opening your hearts and ranch to Josh and the Berens.  For those that don't know, people pay huge bucks to hunt at this ranch and the Egelands allowed one disabled youth to hunt for FREE.  And you know who that lucky youth was.   There are GREAT people still left on this earth and we are truly privileged to have met them. 
You are our heros and ANGELS!!!
