PHOTO + STORY

Your great great grand-daughter (or great grand-niece) may have a picture of you which was saved by someone along the way.  If she’s lucky, someone wrote your name on the back of it, or in a photobook.  And hopefully, they identified where you were in the family tree.  But what will she know about you?

Testing, Testing

Testing!  Final exams!  Pop quiz!  Do those words bring back bad memories of school days when you were facing tests at various intervals – some known and some “surprise” ones?   Does for me.   And who hasn’t observed a toddler who was told not to touch something that was “hot” or forbidden?  As soon as the

A Bit More on Biting Bugs

A few weeks ago, I blogged on a natural essential oils recipe you could use as Bug Repellent – mostly focusing on those pesky (and disease-carrying) mosquitos.  Back Off You Biting Bugs  – Candy McCune In that blog I addressed the DEET-based insect repellents as well as my position on being more “natural” in response.

YOU are Someone’s Ancestor

Yes, YOU!  You are someone’s ancestor – either through children or nieces and nephews or whatever future generations are linked to you.  And that includes adoptive or step families.   But here is my main question to you – what will those future generations know about you? As I am preparing for the next round of

Should I Mind My Own Business

Who brought this up for me?  I could say “Henry Blackaby” because of a recent devotional of his.   But the truth is that it came up again – I observed someone not being fully truthful about something because they “just didn’t want to get involved”.    Blackaby says “One of the Christian’s greatest deterrents from sin

Back Off You Biting Bugs 

It’s that time of year again – and I am back in my least-favorite position.   Don’t know if you are like me, but I am usually the first in the crowd chosen by those annoying gnats or biting bugs like mosquitoes and even horseflies (they have a stinging bite). So I am pulling out my

How Did You Get to School Each Day?

In a recent blog, I introduced you to Leslie Leyland Fields’ book Your Story Matters:  Finding, Writing, and Living the Truth of Your Life.   Why?  Partly because she is great at pulling the written story out of us – amazing, actually. But more to the point, here is how I answered her questions on this

Joy is a Choice?

Joy is a choice?  Boy, that sure goes against the grain of our worldly thinking! If you asked a dozen people if they would rather choose joy than it’s opposite, I bet they would all instantly say “of course” – as would I. But think about the ads you see everywhere – “this will bring

Movin’ & Groovin’

I’m BAAACK!  Yep, I have hit this subject before, but it is so important that I absolutely must go back to it a few times a year, at least!!   Why is it important to me?  Maybe a looming birthday prompted the timing. Or maybe because I just went through months of a nagging hip-area pain

Spiritual Markers

“Spiritual memory is crucial in the Christian life.”  Quote from Henry Blackaby.  Makes my heart sing. Why?  As I guide people to capture the essence of their life-story in a photobook, I am convinced that one of the most important parts I can encourage them to include is looking at the key crossroads in their
