I stumbled upon a treat today.

We decided to visit the Alamance Battleground as the location for our family pictures. Upon arrival, we noticed volunteers dressed in period garb and our kids had a wonderful time listening to tales from 250 years ago. At one of those presentations, my mind drifted and my eyes captured this moment - "Through the Open Doors of History."

I snapped a photo - from the present into the past - of the breeze-inducing openness of the Allen House (originally in Snow Camp, circa 1780). History is just like this photo.

We need a willingness to look through the doors of history so that we can learn how to live in the present. The look-learn-live cycle requires pause and reflection but, trust me, those moments are worth it.

What do you need to look through today so that you can be a better you tomorrow?
