I begin this publication somewhat as a “veteran” news reporter. ☺Years ago, my family produced a series of comical newsletters called, The Good Report. Our slogan was “The Seasonal Newspaper for the Seriously Dedicated Friends
and Family.” Indeed, looking over the hilarious archive of The Good Report, it took dedication to read through our antics! We had a great time providing good news from the scriptures and from our home in efforts to brighten our readers’ days. You can read The Good Report excerpts on “Christian Family Fun” featured on page 3. Hopefully you will enjoy. In many ways, my family’s endeavors with The Good Report embodies some of my intentions for this publication. We all need a good report to cheer our day and to encourage us in a world of bad news.
