Letting The Genie Out Of The Bottle

The year was 1988. Georgette and I had four children – Harry, 7; Anna, 5; Maria, 4; and Laura, 1. During the last week in May, I told my three older children that if the weather cooperated, we were going to plant a garden on Saturday. When I told them, they all got excited and started looking forward to the adventure.

The Construction of A Kingdom

When I was growing up, I loved building things. My dad bought me my first tool set when I was 7 years old. It consisted of genuine child-sized tools, and included a real hammer, hand saw, pliers, screwdrivers, measuring tape, and a “carpenter’s pencil.” My earliest childhood memories include many instances when I helped my dad or grandfather with building projects.

Your Very Own Miracle Worker

Imagine you’re trapped on the 19th floor of a burning building and you have no way of communicating with anyone. Your only way out of the building is through a window. You look out the window toward the ground and all you can see is a concrete sidewalk and street.
