Hello, thank you for visiting,

Do you have boxes of old photos stored in your house? DON’T THROW THEM OUT. They are a part of your history. In my book “Eight Ways to Share Your Family History,” I explain good ways to use them for future generations. The same is true of old albums passed on to you from Mom, or that you put together yourself. Too often saved pictures are discarded when a person just has them piled in boxes. Reading past entries in my blog will give you many more ideas about sharing your history.

Humor time:

THE SILENT TESTAMENT
A man and his wife were having some problems at home
and were giving each other the silent treatment.
Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him
at 5:0 0 AM for an early morning business flight...
Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, 'Please wake me at 5:00 AM.' He left it where he knew she would find it.
The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him,
when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed.
The paper said, 'It is 5:00 AM. Wake up.'

God bless, Ed

Welcome to my world.

Did you know you can focus on your history by dividing your story into decades, or homes you lived in? This organization brings sequential memories to mind. You can write what you remember now and change and add facts as they surface. Ask other family members to share their remembrances to flesh out the history. Don’t be surprised or shocked if siblings have totally different memories. Their point of view will be different from yours.

Pumping up your prayer life is as simple as giving God the credit for solutions you think of for a problem. After all how did the thought get into your head?

Read my blog for many more ideas on both sharing your history and pumping up your prayer life.

Humor time: “WHO DOES WHAT”
A man and his wife were having an argument about who
should brew the coffee each morning.
The wife said, 'You should do it because you get up first,
and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee.
The husband said, 'You are in charge of cooking around here and
you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee.'
Wife replies, 'No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee.'
Husband replies, 'I can't believe that, show me..'

So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says 'HEBREWS'...

God bless, Ed

Hi! Hope you are having a wonderful day.

Here is a question for you to answer for YOUR HISTORY. What memories do you have of the first house you remember living in? Writing an answer to this may open a file box of memories and other questions will surface and you can answer them as well. Any place in your history is a good place to begin.

What one thing have you thanked God for today? If you haven’t thought of one up to now, NOW IS THE TIME. Answering this is a step in Pumping Up Your Prayer Life, as written about in my book of that name.

Humor time: 'OLD' IS WHEN...
Your friends compliment you on your new alligator shoes and you're barefoot.

You don't care where your spouse goes, just as long as you don't have to go along.

You are cautioned to slow down by the doctor instead of by the police.

You're not sure if these are facts or jokes.

Smile, it’s good for you. God bless, Ed
