Can't Wait To Go Back To Prison: A Prison Ministry Experience (Book) - 10/6/2009 8:06:13 AM
This book sounds like it would help me learn about a ministry I have never been part of but have been feeling the tug of God on my heart for. I'm going to get a copy to read and some to pass out.

Mentoring To-Go (Book) - 2/21/2009 1:10:24 PM
Dr. Domino: You have under-sold the claims on your "Mentoring To-Go" book. I just got my copy the other day and began almost immediately to dive into its many interesting pages. It is more than you let on, in your Bio page. Your book reminds of the spirit of a little book called, "The Magic of Thinking Big," by David Schwartz. It was a book that changed my life. The Bible was the first of course! In his book Schwartz related an anecdote about his young son when he asked him, "What do you want to be when you grow-up." The little boy thought about it a minute and said, "A professor." "A professor? What kind of professor, son?" his Dad asked. After thinking for a minute the boy said with a smile, "A professor of happiness!" A professor of Happiness. "How wonderful!" Schwartz goes on to relate. Dr. Domino, Your book, "Mentoring To-Go," brought back memories of that enjoyable time of self-discovery, and youthful idealism, when I set sail for the seven seas of life. Anything was possible, and with your book, now it is again!

Can't Wait To Go Back To Prison: A Prison Ministry Experience (Book) - 9/13/2008 4:00:39 AM
John, I will pray for great success for your most interesting book about prison mininstry. I've always been interested in prisons and how much the men and woman there need God in their lives. If I wasn't on a fixed income I would buy one, and being personally signed by you would be an added bonus. My husband lost his job 3 years ago, the plant closed down he'd work at for 25 years. For health reasons he hasn't been able to find work. I am on disability so thank God we do have one check coming in. God is good, He's always provided for us. My husband got saved a year ago and with both of us attending church together its been a great blessing to me. I have grown alot in my faith this past year because church is such an important part of my life. I'm a choir member and we go to different nursing homes and sing, I get a great blessing from that, Michael. Keep writing and putting God's word out there for all to see. God bless you always. Many blessings, ~Linda

'Domino', such a wonderful word of imagery and of course it's your name -well suited I'm sure you'll agree. One thing leads to another into eternity and you seem to have followed your path patiently as each piece fell into place, fulfilling your life's purpose, one precious step at a time.

GOALS - How to Break a Habit (Short Story) - 10/31/2009 2:46:14 AM
Very good write, John. I'd like to make one point however, if I may? What a "bad habit" is, is a matter of opinion. And opinions change over time. Smoking, for example, was the "in" thing to do 30 years ago and was not considered a "bad habit." Even today, there are smokers and groups of smokers who do not share in the opinion that it is a bad habit. Like I said, this is an excellent write but it only applies if one is of the opinion that a "habit" is a "bad" one. I consider drinking soda, such as Coke or Pepsi, a "bad habit." It's proven that mostly all soda pops are bad for a person's physical health, even in moderation; thus it is a bad habit. Correct? NO; it is not correct; only in my opinion. See what I mean, John? Again, great write, my friend and God bless.

You Have Not Lived Until You Really Cried (Short Story) - 10/20/2009 3:27:41 PM
I know that feeling as my Mother told me she would be waiting to welcome me at the gate with open arms. That was fourteen years ago and I still shed tears knowing she always kept her word. Thank you for sharing John. Newfie hugs Rose

We'll understand it better by and by, as the old song says. What a blessing that she knew the giver of peace and she could look forward to attaining that place of peace with her saviour. What a good man you are, to be there unconditionally. This touched my heart.

Thank you very much for suggesting I read this. I take life hard sometimes, most times I do dwell so on things of the psst Never having had to have chem this touched me very much. My oldest daughte Karen had chemo and partial breast removed but is cancerfree 5 years now. She was a luck RN. She was positive they got it early enough. I do think your story is going to help others as they read it to know that Life is so short and needs to be lived to the greatest as much as you can do. Thank for this touching story.

Where WOULD we be without our furry or feathered friends? I wouldn't want to even CONSIDER thinking about it (although, where we live, we can't have cats!)!! I love animals; always have, always will! Great write, John Michael; well penned! (((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :)

God's Four Legged Miracles! (Short Story) - 6/19/2009 6:28:29 AM
I for one, wouldn't be here. My animals have given me the hope, strength and love to know that tomorrow would be better. I thank them with rewards. My love. They are truly a gift from God to help through our good times and our not so good. . Loved by us but we need to appreciate them all more, and give them extra time to feel our respect, love and appreciation. Keep up the wonderful work John. Animals are a blessing to us all!

John, I am so glad your family is being fed, and that is where you should be. I went to the website, and wondered why they didn't bless us with the brother's name and title in the picture? He looks like he was wondering the same thing. Lol. Thanks for sharing your beautiful testimony of worship and faith.

John, this was a deeply moving testimony of faith you have written here, about your dearly departed Raya. I am absorbed in a similar battle everyday and sincerely appreciate you sharing this, as it helped me to make more sense of a heartbreaking time in our lives. Having watched my mother suffer through metastatic Cancer, and pass away recently, it was an especially profound essay on how to Live, Love, Laugh till the end. Carpe Diem, Rockie Coppolella

Fear is the Opposite of Faith (Short Story) - 1/23/2009 2:34:48 AM

A Slice of a Short Life (Short Story) - 1/23/2009 2:32:43 AM

She was a wonderful perosn who loved and lived and now she is in peace and in no pain. She is always with you. She is just a thought away from you. You can talk to her any time. I truly belive when we pass on were much more in touch with our loved ones then we are when were here on this earth as human beings. Thank you for touching my heart sorry for your loss but Happy for the gift you recieved from the love that you both shared. Hugs Angela

These are great guidelines, John Michael. These are the sort of things I would chart and post so they were seen when a child walked into my room. Rules can be staid sometimes, so I use to turn things like this into songs. Now adays a chant or rap might be in order.

Why Mentoring is Important (Article) - 1/19/2009 7:00:18 AM
This is an excellent article with interesting facts and statistics. When I taught school, the one thing I learned about young people is they all are hungry for someone to respect and appreciate them. It is the best way in the world to shape and mold young children into becoming the best they can be. Good write, John Michael.

Shake Off The Snake - Get's a FIVE Star Rating! (Article) - 1/2/2009 7:19:18 AM
This sounds like an interesting book. I grew up on self-help books. Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, the father of postive thinking, was my great spiritual leader. Joel Osteen's sermons are greatly similar to those Dr. Peale presented to his parishioners. Most folks can benefit from self-help books like this....

Sack Lunch for the Soldiers (Article) - 11/2/2008 2:35:04 PM
A beatiful story, thanks for sharing. Sadly, someone running for president said the getting nominated was the first time he had faith in America. I have always had faith in my country, and have always been proud to be an American because of decent fellow Americans who do things like that. I can only ask...Where has this candidate been all of his life.

Sack Lunch for the Soldiers (Article) - 11/1/2008 10:25:43 PM
John Michael Domino, Well written, and I can say this because I forgot I was reading it, I finished so effortlessly. I remember seeing Arlington Cemetery, from the train, and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in DC. There were roses stuck into the cracks of the memorial, and plenty of homeless vets sleeping in the park next to it. It hurt me to see how we treat those we owe our freedom to. Thanks JMD for reminding me of how special we should treat these guardians of the republic to which we owe so much. I suppose the USO can't do it all. Oh yes the article! It was thought provoking and touching. --- Rockie Coppolella

Sack Lunch for the Soldiers (Article) - 11/1/2008 4:45:50 PM
Thank you for sharing this touching article, John. I love your comment: A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life wrote a blank check Made Payable to'The United States of American' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.' Every veteran diserves our respect and admiration-- and that, my friend, includes you. Linda Settles

Sack Lunch for the Soldiers (Article) - 11/1/2008 7:16:29 AM
John, thanks for sharing that. I'd like to post it on my blog spot if that's okay. It's such an important message. I don't know how I'd feel if I were a soldier. I'd never thought about it. Until recently.

Great write my friend. God bless.
