Teach your children well. I'm sorry I wasn't able to protect them from everything. I could keep them from physical harm - neither son has yet died unbaptized, and that was and remains the goal. Please pray for Josh to be able to have visits from a
Things got heavy fast. There were good moments too, and those will be shown. But the purpose of backstory is to explain why and how things went so badly, so this series is a bit of a tear-jerker.
The grand finale of our road trip was a day at the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter in Kentucky! Yes, I am a Catholic and a literal Bible believing young earth creationist. No, it's not mandatory for Catholics, at least not since 1950, but it is still allowed
Summer Holiday comes to an end, and the real work begins. For more on the Heartland Model of Book of Mormon geography, some useful resources are the docuseries "Hidden In The Heartland", published works of authors like Jonathan Neville, and the Stoddard family. I can't remember
Summer Holiday continues. There's a video somewhere of Hadrian on that alpine slide in Kentucky that we'll put on our TikTok and YouTube someday! Some nice POVs of the chairlift, too, and the plastic dinosaurs and caving. It was an amazing, prayer led week together just

Another Underground SSSaints crossover - will be the final one since the newsletter ceased publication in April 2025. I didn't realize until I was actually picking the car up from the Carvana "vending machine" in Cleveland (yes, we really did drive all the way to Cleveland just
Overlaps with Underground SSSaints episode of the same title, which is not published yet. US is a big project because it's a year's worth of newsletters to try to pack into a dozen or so pages. Recipes are definitely going to be relocated to yet another
Josh now has his own prequel, in a way. Obviously he's not able to participate in creating it. But I've done my best to sensitively portray his POV as we cover the events of Spring and Summer 2025, overlapping Underground SSSaints (which still needs remaining episodes
