When we launched this feature, our hope was to encourage or inspire people through the stories we shared here. What we did not expect was that one of those readers would read one of those stories and see a way he might be able to help other readers.
Since that first inquiry, we have been contacted by several people, with information they wanted to share with our readers. After VERY careful consideration, we have decided to post some of them here.

HOW GOD REACHES OUT TO US
​​
Not too long ago, family friend Corey Bishop invited me to share with his Bones to Life listeners the story of the day God became real to me. I truly enjoyed the experience . . . and the chance to visit with Corey. It had been a long time since we talked.
​
The ringing of my telephone caused an editing issue for Corey, which he was able to resolve without losing any important content. Despite that challenge, the episode turned out pretty well.
It aired on Bones to Life on April 26th, and will still be there whenever you have time to listen. Corey leaves all the episodes there, so you can listen to any of them at any time. To date, he has posted over 20 episodes.
​
Check out Bones to Life as soon as you get the chance. Corey has a true gift for this work . . .

Exciting Changes Freedom God Is Moving! Happy Father's Day How Old Am I?
This is the page that started it all! The first page God asked me to design for this web site. Its name refers to the treasure-trove of valuable life lessons I have learned, through observing other people.
My mind is filled with vivid memories . . . family stories that have imprinted themselves in my heart. Gathered together, they weave the intricate tapestry of who we are as a family. On this page, I share those stories with you. Some of them are funny; some are heartwarming. All bring a joyful smile to my face as I remember them.
This page doesn't contain stories, or even articles I've written --- not in the traditional sense. Instead, these are excerpts from actual conversations I've had with God, as I've sought a relationship with Him. Things I've discussed with Him throughout my journey of faith. In the hope of helping you become comfortable being honest with God, I share them with you here.
Read the story of how this site made the transformation from vague idea to God's amazing reality.

A MESSAGE FROM ALL OF US AT ATIAT:
​
Besides the list of pages mentioned above, we have archived EVERY article we've ever posted on this web site. There are now two ways to access those pages. You can go to the "Archives" button (top of page), and select a page from the drop-down menu --- they are categorized by the year(s) the articles appeared. The other option is to go to the page you're interest in ("articles & stories" button), and select an article --- by title --- from the list near the top of that page. All articles have been listed there, in alphabetical order. When you click on the title, you will be redirected to that article.
​
Thank you all for your continued support and perseverance as we answer God's call on our lives and continue to travel these exciting waters. We thank you for joining us, and we look forward to sharing with you the discovery of where this journey of words will take us next. Rest assured that, where ever this road leads us, we are relying on the LORD's guidance as we go.
BJ wants to assure you that wherever the wonderful world of words takes us next, she is listening for the Lord's guidance in writing them. We cannot do this without Him! We lift up these pages, as always . . .
​
To His Glory . . . BJ
