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?

???!!!???!!!

???!!!???!!!

WhAt?!?

This is my mind.
Any questions?
There are so many questions, I don't know where to start.
Then again, the truth of the matter is I don't know what to think. It's so mind-boggling I have no idea what to think--or even how to at this point.
I cannot even begin to tell you how surprised I am (but not).
What I've discovered fills in a lot of answers to missing parts in my life and unanswered questions--for things that are down deep inside of me. It helps explains things.
I need some time to try to process what has happened and what I've discovered.
Who would ever have thought doing genealogy would bewilder, astonish, surprise, dumbfound, mind-boggle, etc--like this? Would you have thought?
I am surprised. I think that's fair enough to say.
Now, stay tuned.
Throughout the day today--and for the next week, I will really dive into this and will try to come up with some resemblance of ordered thought to help explain to you what I've discovered and what it means to me and my life.
I know this for much for sure: My life has just done a 180.
I also know this: It shouldn't.
But, it has.
How could it not? You'll see what I mean once you hear my story.

Welcome to A New Blog

WELCOME
Welcome. This is a blog to teach about history: American and World History. But, it's a great deal more than that.
This a blog where I explore my family tree and learn about history. It's also my story of discovering information about my family tree, learning history (U.S./American and World History), and seeing how the two have made me who I am today and how they have influenced my life today.
