I have been writing for my own enjoyment since childhood and was blessed to have a book published about six years ago. The greatest joys in my life are my wife and family. They are my motivation for everything I do. The kids are considerably older than when I first joined this site and while I am sorry to be losing the tax deductions, watching them develop their careers and relationships brings considerable pleasure. They are much like their mother, which is a great relief to them I am sure. Isn't God great?

Several for working with young men in trouble,but the greatest achievement is being able to live long enough to watch my children grow up.
