Park News

September 2 marks the official end of World War II, corresponding with the day the surrender documents were signed with the nation of Japan 80 years ago. The National Park Service has a website listing several parks with some connection to that conflict, but let me highlight a few:

Washington, DC’s National Mall has several spots: memorials to Dwight D. Eisenhower, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, all those who served (below), and Japanese American Patriotism
If you want to know more about the 125,000+ plus Japanese and Japanese Americans who were incarcerated during WWII, go to this page. Several of these former sites are in the Park Service
At Boston National Historical Park’s Charlestown Navy Yard, the WWII era destroyer USS Cassin Young has free tours throughout the year
Those who fought the war right here in the U.S. are remembered at California’s Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historical Park. That includes my mom and her parents, who worked at a munitions factory
The Manhattan Project National Historical Park, relating to the development of the atomic bomb, has three locations: Oak Ridge, Tennessee; Hanford, Washington; and Los Alamos, New Mexico
Further afield, in the Pacific Ocean, American Memorial Park in the Northern Marianas Islands pays tribute to the U.S. servicemen and native civilians who died in 1944 in the battles on Saipan, Tinian, and the Philippine Sea in 1944. Guam’s War in the Pacific National Historical Park commemorates those who served in that region.

More on What’s Happening in the Parks

Another free day in the national parks! National Public Lands Day is always near the end of September, this year on Saturday, September 27
Staffing shortages in our parks are a real problem
This month’s review from the Subpar Parks calendar: “Not much to do” in Michigan’s Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Really? Not according to this list.

Books

This year I joined the Advanced Writers and Speakers Association, a professional group for Christian authors and lecturers. A fellow member, DiAnn Mills brings out a new contemporary book this month with Tyndale, Canyon of Deceit.

The publisher of my two Life Lessons from the National Parks books has released Designs for Nora by Karen H. Richardson on Kindle.

And my e-novella publisher, Pelican Publishing Group, is putting out a pair of new titles in September:

Love in a Lifeboat (Karen Malley)
Unchained Melody (Clare Revell)

Wars and more wars

Sadly, wars are all over the news these days. World War I was called “the war to end all wars,” but as we well know, it wasn’t. Since then, we’ve been involved in several other conflicts, while fighting continues in other places around the globe.

Luke 21 (as well as other biblical passages) talk about the real “war to end all wars,” that is, when Jesus returns to earth. The events leading up to that occurrence are frightening (false prophets, wars, earthquakes, betrayal by loved ones, and strange phenomena in nature, among other things).

People down through the ages have tried to predict when all of this will take place, or if we’re on the brink of it happening very soon. That’s a futile calculation, though, because Scripture tells us no one but God knows the hour or day (Matthew 24:36). For believers in Christ, though, while humanly distressed, perplexed and fearful when these occurrences transpire, are directed to “straighten up” and “look up,” because all will see Jesus descending from the sky in all His power and glory (v. 25-28). What a sight that will be!

Since we don’t know when this will come about, Jesus concludes the chapter by cautioning all of us not to be weighed down by life’s worries and concerns, but be on the alert, prepared to stand before Jesus’s judgment (v. 34-36).

Are you ready?
