The book also acknowledges the fact that many parents are working hard to give their children both the support and structure that is needed; details the challenges facing many of our schools and communities which result from dealing with children who are not receiving the necessary parenting required to become positive members of either group; and attempts to highlight the great work being done by the hardest working and least appreciated group of people on the planet, public school teachers all across this country. Inspired by the provocative comments made by Mr. Bill Cosby as he called for the community to look at where we are and do more to get to where we need to be. The other great inspiration for the writing of this book was the passing of his father Melvin R. Coutreyer. One of the greatest accomplishments of a person's life is the type of parent that they tried to be and Melvin Coutreyer was a great father to his children. The last page of this book was written first and then the work went into reaching the goal of completing the project. Raising children is no different. Imagine a child that is respectful, kind, educated, thoughtful and responsible. Then work like hell to help them develop the skills necessary to become that person. It's not about making all the choices for your children because if you raise the kind of child described in the previous sentence they will be able to make good decision for themselves.
Do Miracle's Really Happen, is a story about some life changing events that happened in the life's of the Author, and his wife, during a period of several years. It also tells of some things that God brought about, that are without question, things that just couldn't happen without the working of an Almighty Power. Not magic, but power that comes from unwavering faith in God, and trusting in Him to do what just seemed, could not be done. It speaks of a Miracle Peach Crop, that happened in Colorado, where an old dilapidated orchard brought forth more peaches than one could imagine, when all the other orchards of the area were bare, because of a late freeze. The appearance of a buyer, out of nowhere, when there were no buyers, and the miracle of a man from nowhere that made it all come together. It also tells of many things that happened, which will stimulate your faith, and perhaps, make you want to again, trust in the Almighty God.Hope you like these stories, The Author: Bill Porter
