Whew. It’s been quite an adventure these past few weeks and I’ve missed blogging regularly. Between college classes, writing a book and my son’s wedding, Holy Week activities and church responsibilities I feel like I’ve been in an abyss with an undertow pulling me under. But here I am! I’m baaaaaack! (At least for today!) My son’s wedding was a …
Erica’s Edition: Time Management Woes
Today’s post is brought to you by my busy college intern, Erica Graphman. Do you ever have those days where you have so much on your plate that you don’t know where to start and you end up not doing anything?

Erica’s Edition: Homesick College Student
With almost three years of college under my belt, I never thought I’d say I’m homesick. Last weekend was Little Sibs Weekend at Manchester, and even though my brother is older than the age they allow sibs to come he still came to stay for Friday and Saturday. My mom dropped him off to me on Friday afternoon and she …
Interview with H2 TV host and author, Scott Wolter of America Unearthed
I’ve been a follower of Scott Wolter’s research for about ten years. My fascination with his work began with my interest in the Kensington Runestone and my belief that it is a genuine artifact and proof of a Nordic presence in North America before Christopher Columbus. Scott has written two books that deal with his research of the stone, The …
World Autism Awareness Day
I believe in confirmations from the Lord that I’m on the right track. And lately, with the hardships my family has experienced, I needed a little boost of confidence. Today is Autism Awareness Day. It’s a very special day for me because I am a Mom of twin adults (age 19) with autism. And it’s also a special day because …
Why I love my Kindle Paperwhite

I have the kindle app on my computer, iPad and phone and three other people in this house own kindle fires, I still have my original kindle and I just bought the kindle paperwhite. Let’s see, …
Éirinn go Brách!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I adore St. Patrick. He’s one of my heroes. And was so long before I found out I’m part Irish. The Irish in our family comes from my Grandma Grace Brown. I’m very excited to be part of the Irish excitement this year. This is the first year I’ve been able to confirm my Irish ancestry. …
Erica’s Edition: I didn’t see that coming!
Today’s post is brought to you by my college intern, Erica Graphman! Take it away, Erica! It’s been one of those “Well I didn’t see that one coming” weeks. Not in a horrible way, but an interesting one. It all started with the weather. I didn’t expect the two warm days, and after those two days I didn’t expect the …
God’s Unexpected Blessings
A week ago today I was feeling rather low. I even blogged about it I was feeling so bad. Then, one blessing after another flowed into my life in unexpected ways. I got good news. A check came in the mail. And by sheer Providence, I got to meet Temple Grandin and interview her face to face for a full …
Erica’s Edition: Vikings!
Today’s blog post is brought to you by my hard-working intern, Erica Graphman! Take it away, Erica! I’ve always been a huge fan of history—I actually considered majoring in it until my dad pointed out that I wouldn’t be able to make a good career out of it unless I became a teacher (not really my cup of tea). I …
