My-Backyard.org creates story-driven content inspired by Christian teachings, especially the parables of Jesus, and the virtues modeled throughout Scripture. Our goal is to offer gentle, imaginative expressions of faith, comfort, and emotional connection for families and children.

While our stories reflect Christian values, they are shared in the spirit of love and encouragement—not as doctrine or instruction. We welcome readers of all backgrounds and beliefs, and invite interpretation through one’s own lens and lived experience.

By engaging with our content, you acknowledge that any spiritual, emotional, or symbolic elements are offered in good faith. Participation is voluntary, and no part of this project shall be construed as an attempt to impose belief or religious affiliation.
