Bewildered, Astonished, and Thunderstruck.



Bewildered, Astonished, and Thunderstruck. 

Bewildered. Astonished. Thunderstruck. Mind-Boggled. Flabbergasted. Stunned. Awed. Baffled. Flustered. Floored. Shocked. Dazzled. Mystified. Speechless.
I am all of those descriptions--and more.
I am also humbled.
It's because of what I discovered on Tuesday, tested on Wednesday and Thursday, and will work on re-proving over the next couple weeks. But, I am more than 75% sure of what I discovered.
It changes everything in my life, but it also doesn't at the same time.
In fact, it deepens my faith. But, I also know I should have had this deep of a faith all along, and have. But, this makes it deeper and richer. I treasure it more. I cannot deny it. While it shouldn't be, it is.
I have traced my family tree to a figure of importance in the Bible. (Everyone mentioned in the Bible is important, by the way. So, I say that with a grin and a wink.) It is a person who proves that Jesus Christ was indeed a man--and was God.
Now... Do I have your attention? I know mine is sure caught.
Let me give you some of the backstory now.
Do you see why I am so amazed and thunderstruck?

My New Blog Description




My New Blog Description

Did you notice how the description of my blog changed? Well it has.


"Welcome to a journaling memoir as I learn about my family tree (in the USA since Jamestown 1607) and my family who can be traced to a biblical figure. This is a blog of my thoughts as I learn about history, faith, my family, and how to live."


-- By Stacy Duplease

This should give you a hint about the mind-boggling stuff that's occurred this week. 

In other words,this blog is my journaling memoir about history and faith.
