I was finishing up our next post when I came across this little jewel. I gave it a quick read and realized this is the perfect time of year for a repost. I was saddened as I scanned the words, we all end the year with high hopes for a better year to come. Sadly... Continue Reading →
This week's post is Chapter three as we go through our book. We begin to notice each boy's personality and watch as their relationship develops. Mark, the class bully, also begins to take his place in our tale. You may also notice a subtle Christian overtone has begun to develop; as a former pastor, I... Continue Reading →
“The unlikeliest of hero’s” Well, friends here it is, Chapter one of "The Leech Cemetery Witch." Plenty of folks have waited far too long to get a peek at it.

As promised, here is the first in our visits with the boy's families. I thought big David would be a good place to start since his family serves as "home base" for our boys. As a child I knew a big David, and his family was very similar to the David in the books, and... Continue Reading →
