FROM HERE TO ETERNITY brings together the writing gifts of the entire O’Connor clan:
Michael, Sally, Dusty, Bonnie and Shannon.
While God is central in our lives this will not be a religious blog in the strictest sense. We will focus on many things God is placing squarely before us ranging from light and breezy to intense and personal. But we will also branch out with musings and opinion about the world around us.
While we may not check in daily, we hope to communicate our take on events and viewpoints several times per week. And we promise more than a few laughs along the way.
Come feast at the table of ideas and offer your comments. As a community we can share stimulating conversation and fellowship.
