Hoosier Happenings: April 2015

Exquisite Bungalow in Rensselaer. Here's a little history on maybe the most interesting bungalow I have visited-the house has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places in the last year and has undergone restoration. The home, built in 1917, remained in the Parker family until Della's death in 1962. The Parker House is best classified as a Craftsman bungalow, though the house’s details show an eclectic mix of other styles popular during the early 20. Three-level entry foyer and staircase.

Hoosier Happenings: What if the church was empty on Easter?
http://hoosierhappenings.blogspot.com/2015/04/what-if-church-was-empty-on-easter.html
What if the church was empty on Easter? My wife was talking about a church in Texas that closes its doors on Easter and takes that life that brought Christ out of the tomb, to their community around them. Think about it. What if.just what if our churches were empty on Easter, just like the tomb, and if people came a sentry could say. I know you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen and His people have taken Him to the world. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Blue Like Jazz (lit).

Hobart's more than just a sign on U.S. 30. Ever travel that stretch of U.S. 30 toward Chicago and think, hmm.Hobart, it has a little sign out here on the highway and a mile or so of strip mall shops-but where's the rest of Hobart? And Washington Streets; it connected Hobart to the booming city of Hammond in northwest Lake County. The railway remained active until after World War II. The railroads and subsequent industry accelerated the community’s growth during the first decades of the 20. Century. W...

Hoosier Happenings: December 2014
http://hoosierhappenings.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
I had a long conversation this week with a young man who is trying to reconcile the traditions of Christmas with his Christian faith. He's taken it to heart and has pages of notes from his research on the origins of Christmas as the holiday we observe. He became very serious and asked me "what do you think of Christmas? Christmas Eve at the 'ol homestead. The lights on the tree, or the traditions of family before me that pull my heart to that place. But from my late teens until now-it has been the mo...

Hoosier Happenings: November 2014

On this Thanksgiving eve, as I delved into the richness of our country's history reaching back to its foundations, I wonder what we are leaving in our wake. What will those who come after us say of our generation? For nearly 400 years we built, cleared, prospered and can be truly thankful for much. But for what will the generations that follow be thankful to our generation? I hope it's more than limitless Starbucks. St Stephens Cemetery, Dearborn County, IN. The Results are IN!
