The Ultimate Sacrifice

April 3, 2015 By Jody Hedlund

In all my historical research, I'm always stumbling upon accounts of people sacrificing for others. I really love those kind of stories. Stories like Harriet Tubman risking her life to return to the South to help free other slaves. Or Corrie ten Boon who risked her life to hide Jews after the Nazi invasion of Holland. I even like reading about modern day heroes such as the one during the crash … [Read more...]

Is Chivalry on the Brink of Extinction?

February 20, 2015 By Jody Hedlund

A Meeting That Wasn’t Supposed to Happen

February 6, 2015 By Jody Hedlund

Since we're only a week away from Valentine's Day, I thought I'd share the story about how I met my husband! Have you ever stubbornly stamped your foot and said, "No. I'm never going to do that"? I'm never going to live in that town? Or I'm never going to do that job? When I was younger, I stamped my foot and said, "I'm never going to marry a pastor." I grew up as a PK (Pastor's Kid). My … [Read more...]
