All Together in One Place
(2000)
ALL TOGETHER IN ONE PLACE began from an old diary entry of Ezra Meeker, written in 1852. He recorded meeting eleven wagons heading east, all driven by women, their men having died and the women returning alone.
While the story is set 150 years ago, it speaks to us of contemporary issues of loss, of facing difficult days. What happened along that trail? And isn't it so that when we are faced with challenges, we often want to "turn back", to "go home to a better time?
This is a story of discovering how to come to terms with disappointment and facing that life, as these women knew it, had ended. It is a story of walking in the wilderness of landscape, relationship and spirit and the power of family, friends and faith can see us through.
"The Lord knows my lot. He makes my boundaries fall on pleasant places" says the Psalm. ALL TOGETHER IN ONE PLACE is a story meant to nurture us and reassure us that God truly knows our lot.
