Life happens around us and we sometimes forget to simply enjoy the moments as they pass us by. As a father of nine children, I feel that I have seen just about everything life can deal one person. Frustration, satisfaction, success, failure, broken relationships, restoration, anger, forgiveness, laughter, and tears all in a single day. "Let's Ask Dad" is a compilation of stories that come from the perspective of a father who is trying to be the best in all he does without losing sight of what is most important in life. The stories are from life experiences within the family and from the students who pass through a classroom lugging their own baggage and expectations. Thought provoking moments and anecdotes in time are captured and pondered over to bring encouragement, hope, and joy to those who feel they are toiling through life alone.
A short tale about a wounded prince who discovered a beautiful young maiden who would forever change his life. Calling on him to be her Knight in Shining Armor, he is humbled by both the maiden's beauty and her extravagant love that can only come from the King.
