When I Grow Up I Want To Be Like You
As children we all have our heroes
The people we want to be like
The Mickey Mantle’s and the Michael Jordan’s
The person I wanted to be like taught me how to catch a baseball
He taught me how to shoot a free throw

I remember once, a time when I was really worried about something. There was a trial I was facing, and I wasn’t sure what to do or how I was going to get through it. I called a dear friend of mine, my mentor, and was sharing my burden with her, when all at once in the middle of my telling her how

Me and my father-in-law used to have a project we liked to work on together. It was with chickens. On several occasions we incubated some eggs. He had an incubator and I would care for it while the eggs were “cooking.”

I love my boys. I thank God everyday for blessing me with such good children. There is one thing that I believe all children go through. It is a sense of bewilderment when given a series of jobs.
For instance; my children and I can be cleaning up the yard. I can tell Benjamin to go and pick up

When Steve and I went to Germany to live, I didn’t know any German, and I knew so little about what it was like to live in Germany that I set out to live there with what I now see as an unbelievably naive optimism that was close to sheer stupidity in its ignorance. Sure I’d seen Germany on TV, and

To show you what I mean, I brought a couple of items with me this morning that help me in my own quest for living what I call a “beyond the horizon” kind of

I live in Guernsey in the Channel Islands. I remember back in the 1950s there was a short period of freak tides and currents around our coast that swept up great shoals of fish to the beaches. Before this phenomenon only relatively few people were interested in fishing but now it was so easy to
