Haley's super-excited when she finds Mr. Key's old letters from the war. Learning about history has never been so much fun. Reading the letters makes her realize that real people actually lived through this time--it isn't just some chapter in a history book anymore. Buying ration stamps, volunteering at the Red Cross, and losing loved ones were the norm for the people who are coming alive for Haley through the letters. Not only do the letters contain general history, but for Mr. Key, they contain personal history. That's why Haley just can't understand why Mr. Key doesn't seem to care about them. In fact, he doesn't seem to care about much in his attic at all.
Could Mr. Key be searching for something more important to make his life worthwhile?

John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
Did you know that God wants to fill that void inside you? That's right! He loves you so much that He sent His one and only Son to die on the cross for your sins. He took the sins of the world all on Himself, so that we could be forgiven.
And you know what? It's so simple. All you have to do is admit that you are a sinner, that you need His gift of forgiveness and salvation, and ask Him to come into your heart and guide your life.
