  Why "Journey Into Story?"

Everybody has a story. Everyone is a story.   It is what defines and identifies us. The more we share our stories, the better we can understand each other.  That would go a long way for a more informed and peaceful people.

The purpose of this blog is to make a place for our stories.

What we offer...

  •     Stories to inspire you, and put a smile on your face.  
  •     A place for YOU to share YOUR STORY, through comments or submitting posts.
  •     A place you will be glad to share with others.
  •     An opportunity to help as a book advisor for upcoming books by Wally Johnston.

 If you feel your story doesn't matter, consider this...        

A vacationing businessman was walking along a beach when he saw a young boy. Along the shore were many starfish that had been washed up by the tide and were sure to die before the tide returned. The boy walked slowly along the shore and would occasionally reach down and toss one of the beached starfish back into the ocean.

The businessman, hoping to teach the boy a little lesson in common sense, walked up to the boy and said, "I have been watching what you are doing, son. You have a good heart, and I know you mean well, but do you realize how many beaches there are around here and how many starfish are dying on every beach every day? Surely such an industrious and kind-hearted boy such as yourself could find something better to do with your time. Do you think that what you are doing is going to make a difference?"

The boy looked up at the man, and then he looked down at a starfish by his feet. He picked up the starfish, and as he gently tossed it back into the ocean, he said, "It makes a difference to that one."  (Author Unknown).
