I am currently working on a very time-consuming project, so my insect butterflies are not sharing their stories. However, I have been posting news stories of individuals or groups of human butterflies. Check out the Butterflies from the News.

Please be patient if something doesn’t work. I’m trying to improve it (and not working is not improvement).

Can a butterfly flapping its wings change the direction of a storm? Can an ordinary person impact lives of others? Can a small action make a big difference?

We live in difficult times: weather-wise, economically, politically, religiously, and personally. Difficult times create depression, which creates anger and hatred of others not like ourselves. What can we do about it?

The idea that a butterfly flapping its wings can affect a storm inspired me to create this blog.

We each have our own butterflies, people who have affected our lives for the better. We have done the same for others. I pray that sharing stories of human butterflies helping each other will offer us hope by reminding us of the inspiring power of one.

I am beginning this site with biblical butterflies, but I am pleased to share stories of human “butterflies” encouraging us to better living.

Now the fact that butterflies remember painful things and avoid the associated odors even into the second generation does not mean they can pass history along to thousands of generations later, which is the basis for my stories. Still …

New word for my vocabulary (and yours): a lepidopterist is one who studies butterflies.
