The Tommy John Story

A few days ago, I posted about Tommy John, and the connection I had with him through the production and distribution of a film telling his remarkable story.

Sadly, his health battles ended earlier today.

Tommy John

I had the opportunity to distribute his film, "The Tommy John Story", shortly after his historic surgery. Tommy also spoke in our church one Sunday night. I was impressed that he was a man of courage and faith. Tommy John is one of the good ones.

So far it’s working!

So far it’s working! No squirrel pirates have robbed any more tomatoes from our garden, the past two days, since putting a pan of water out for them. And we’re finally expecting rain this weekend.                                                                Amazon Author Page: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B002BLP3EE
