To me the thickest of all and what I value most in life is following Jesus Christ. Even being in the thin of discipleship brings me the most joy.

5th grader gives book to President

One of the first customers of 11-year-old Marrae Kimball of Norway, ME, happens to be President Barak Obama.  Marrae just finished 5th grade where she wrote a book called "Guaranteed Success for Grade School: 50 Easy Things You Can Do Today!”  While Senator Olympia Snowe was visiting Norway, Marrae presented Sen. Snowe with an autographed copy and asked her to deliver a copy to President Obama as well - and she agreed!  You can read the rest of the story here.  


How many of you have ever given something to the President, let alone published a book.  Marrae is the daughter of a friend of mine, Melissa Eshleman, who I met as a Mormon Missionary serving in Maine.  Melissa is also quite accomplished and started a publishing company called Find Your Way Publishing.  Her goal is to produce inspiring works and she is consistently hitting it out of the park with clients like Marrae.
