Kids Just Like You!

Well, maybe….except they sure get into a lot of trouble!

Meet lots of true life and fictional characters on this site! They’ve got loads of ideas and sometimes end up getting into things they didn’t expect. But mostly they want to tell you what God’s doing in their lives. And there’s some who don’t know God at all yet.

Here’s some of the kids on this blog. Let them introduce themselves!

Kelly’s always dragging her brothers into something or other-and their friends, too.

Kelly: “I really like doing stuff for people-but sometimes it’s pretty scary. Are you afraid sometimes? I’m terrified! But I’m learning to trust God in crazy situations. I like to write puppet skits and help my mom with Bible Club and play the piano and do fun things for the neighbors. I guess you’ve figured out that I’m pretty busy.

Brent and Doug: ” We’re twins but a whole lot different in looks and everything else, too. Well almost. We both play the guitar and write songs.”

Doug: “Brent lo-oves animals. There’s always fish and turtles and kittens and a dog or two in our room! He can’t go anywhere without finding something to bring home-at least that’s what Dad says. We like pulling surprises on our parents and the neighbors. Our surprises usually end up really good, but we get into a lot of messes in the meantime.”

Brent: “Doug is into every sport there is. Oh, and Kelly loves history-we can’t forget that!”

Doug: “Yuck.”

Kelly: “Hey, you like all the games I come up with-spies and clues and pirates and all. And what about that collection of old cameras that you have! That’s another hobby that Doug likes-photography. Soooo guys, how about we introduce some of our friends from olden times?”

I’m a princess from the Middle Ages. My friend Mary Elise, who’s a milkmaid, rescued me from bandits.

I’m Sadie. I’m a spy during the American Revolution and this is my amazing horse, Red Wind.

I’m Tom. I loved to antagonize the British and Tories, but I got more than I bargained for when my brother turned out missing in action.

“Hey, you guys-my name’s Tom, too. I’m into Science. Animals and all the stuff God made! I love to study Creation and dinosaurs and Noah’s Ark. Don’t forget me!”

“You go all around the world with your parents.” said Kelly. “Being anthropologists and naturalists sounds like fun!”

“Whoa!” said Doug. “Explanation please-I haven’t got a clue what those are.”

“You’ll have to read my story, then,” replied Tom. “I meet a lot a missionaries, too. So don’t forget Tom and Karen in Africa in The Johnsons –Christmas Cheer. Okay guys, what are we going to do now that we’ve introduced ourselves?”

“Tell stories, what else?” said Kelly, excitedly. “And let’s not forget Sid and Hope back in the 1920’s. They work in a mill and that was no fun-what with diseases and gangsters and all-but they find out how great the people at the little corner church can be. And how God can give them all hope in Him. So all our readers need to check out New Life For Hope!”

“She’s back to the historical stuff!” said Doug.

“Nothing wrong with that!” put in Sadie, saddling up Red Wind.

“Let’s get started then!”
