We all have our shining moments-those times when we made great decisions or acted heroically or graciously. Those are days that make us proud. The stories in this book are not those moments. This collection of true stories captures many of my failings.
I've been told that bad decisions make the best stories. That's true, but even more, bad decisions can produce the deepest self-reflection and the most growth.
I hope that these short chapters will allow you to share in my mistakes and cheer my accomplishments. Follow along as a young boy gets his first bow and arrow well before he's developed much common sense. Experience how a perfect morning can wash away the emotions and anger of a bad day. Laugh out loud as a couple of foul-mouthed farm kids narrowly dodge a bullet or when a beautiful butterfly nearly proves fatal for a sick boy in bed.
Love, family, humbleness, and just plain silliness are what you'll find as you turn the pages. Laugh, cry, or just shake your head. But, please, whatever you do...
