OnWord, or Onward, Indiana!

Posted on January 1, 2017 by Bill Schmitt

onward-map  Onward! It’s an appropriate sentiment for the first day of a new year. I couldn’t resist celebrating the persevering concept of Onward–and the town by that name–on behalf of the state of Indiana and on behalf of this OnWord blog. I was driving Friday from Kokomo back to South Bend and saw a road sign pointing toward this inspiring locale where the latest Census found 100 intrepid residents enjoying their Hoosier hometown. To all my readers and all my friends and family as we enter 2017, I say with enthusiasm, hope and trust in the Lord: OnWord!  Regardless of challenges ahead, let’s all live in the Onward! state of mind.
