See the link for an ad about my books and music in the Paperclips Magazine. They sought me out when they discovered my I Will Stand book! If you are interested in a spiritual resource for a Christmas gift, my book table is set up this week at Meriden Hills Baptist Church/MidState Christian Academy.

good manners, letting others go before me, and placing a

high priority on the needs of others. I will be thoughtful,

showing concern toward those who are hurting and doing

what I can to help.

I will stand for kindness.
