Amos McCool's Year in Review
Posted by Michael on Thursday, December 30, 2010 at 6:48pm

Time flies doesn't it? This year has gone by in an absolute blur. Have you ever been engaged in something and been prompted to stop (right in the moment) and truly appreciate it? A few times I've done this when I'm playing with my kids. I'll feel a need to stop, concentrate on their faces, appreciate each little detail, and say a quiet prayer of thanks. Soak in the moment.

"Write these commandments that I've given you today on your hearts. Get them inside of you and then get them inside your children.

Posted by Michael on Sunday, August 22, 2010 at 2:55pm

Another quick note to let you know of next week's booksigning at Interactive Neighborhood for Kid's (INK) in Gainesville, GA. INK is a non-profit organization whose mission is to encourage children of all ages to develop their full potential through exciting hands-on learning. INK strives, through the exhibits of the museum, to create a unique environment in which children of all ages, abilities and experience can feel free to imagine, create and explore beyond their dreams. Sherri Hooper, the executive director, does a wonderful job managing this unique, FUN place! I'll be at INK at 12:00 noon on Saturday 8/27. I'd love to meet you if you have some time to stop by.
