About the Book

Life is a joy. If you find that all too easy to forget at times, then I am here to remind you. This book of stories uses a combination of wisdom and wit to bring life's many miracles to life. In my life of service and learning, I have observed many things to share with readers.

Americans have faced and embraced the new millennium. They dash frenetically toward the horizon seeking happiness.

For generations, Americans have felt insulated from war and terrorism. After September 11, 2001, many search for order in a chaotic world, seeking anchors to hold the ship of life in a safe harbor.

This book provides a safe harbor where readers can escape the storms in the sea of life. The stories will take readers to a time and place where they want to linger and they may not want to leave. I don't recommend that people live in the past. It is a wonderful place to visit but not a good place to live.

Stories remind us of where we are from and how we got to where we are today. They remind us of yesteryear, they speak of today and they point the way to tomorrow.
