  • The 1888 Journal: Mysteries & Entries Part II

    We’re picking up where we left off in the 1888 Journal entries.  Since the last post (Part 1), a reader took it upon herself to dig into this mystery writer, and found some interesting info that leads us to believe this girl, Siena, or Siera, or Sirra, is from Vermont…we…

  • The 1888 Journal: Mysteries & Entries part 1

    Awhile back I came across this pocket-sized journal at an antique store in Nashville, dated 1888. HAD to have it! It inspired the post The Journal and the Journey: The One Who Knows the Way, but it hasn’t stopped inspiring or intriguing me.  I’ve kept the little book on my…

  • Sermon Notes for Kids: Helping Your Kiddos Grow in their Faith

    I grew up in church. Every Sunday and Wednesday. Summer programs too. And I’m grateful for my upbringing and foundations of faith. Now, I wasn’t the most quiet child during church service. Dad pecked my head a time or two–kept me in line. Kept me from squirming, doodling on the…

  • Helping Kids Cope with Deployment

    September 11th means many things to Americans–many things we aren’t even able to put into words. It’s been 14 years. Doesn’t seem like it. I’ve often thought it strange that my children cannot remember a time when our country hasn’t been at war, nor do they quite grasp why their…

  • The Journal & the Journey: The One Who Knows the Way

    Not too long ago, I stumbled on an old diary at a flea market. The journal year? 1888. Wow! What a treasure for a history lover like myself. Of course I bought it, then struggled whether or not to read it. I wouldn’t want a stranger snooping through my journal! Friends…
