An Unexpected HonorIt happened on May 1, 2011 on Sunday afternoon with about seventy-five friends, former kickers and families of former kickers, coaches, my family, and other friends from the church and community. The Thomasville Athletic Boosters Club, the Thomasville Athletic Department and others from the community had made the arrangements. They had raised enough money to replace the old original post and add one at the other end of the field. This field is not only used for football practice and track and field, but soccer is also played there. It is probably one of the best facilities of its kind around. This facility was named "The Allen Brown Athletic Complex" in honor of retired football coach Allen Brown. So having the goal posts dedicated to me on that Sunday afternoon was a great honor.There were several speakers who said some very complimentary things, pointing out the two beautiful new goal posts that were being dedicated to me. Then my attention was called to a plaque that was placed on the wall of the Allen Brown athletic Complex.I was overwhelmed by all the wonderful things said and the honor I received. I was also amazed at the number of friends who were there to share this moment with me. I really didn't think I deserved this much adulation. As I told them, I have enjoyed it so much because of all the rewards received in seeing these young men progress and become successful in their journey through life.

The book illustrations (i.e., stick figures) was inspired by another book that a friend of mine eventually gave me. I liked the idea of handwritten words, which I think were somewhat inspired by writing in a toy giving personalization. This book is back to basics with no time or commercialism dated as such. A moral lesson, if any, would be that no matter how many representations to people we are, we are the person with a name that defines us.
This book was inspired by a true story about a little girl who was grieving the loss of her mother. When she stumbled upon an injured bird her life was forever changed. It is a tale about loss, love and learning to find joy and happiness in the smallest of things...once again.

Ruben and Lillian (Martin) Corgill were my parents. Ruben was born in 1890. Lillian was born in 1898. Their lives spanned a time period from “horse and buggy” days to the jet age and space exploration. However, the way they lived didn’t change very much as the modern world was evolving around them. Throughout their productive years, they stuck to the old ways of surviving by being self-sufficient in a rural, agricultural environment. Their roots had not prepared them for “getting by” in other ways. Even in the 1950s, they were still manually doing farm work when machines had replaced people and horses all around them. So many times, one day ended with no clear conviction that the next one wouldn’t bring problems beyond their capabilities. How they managed to survive from day to day and year to year on the meager fruits of their labors and raise a family in the process is an outstanding example in human integrity and industry. They survived, though, and held their heads high to the end. Theirs is a story worth telling.
#SpiritualSelfies: Snapshots from the Inside Out• # symbolizes the days and times we live in • Spiritual projects the necessity to edit our lives with a heavenly mindset• Selfies represents the internal pictures of our character developed by the LordThis book of poetry is presented by author Glenny Z. Moore. It offers an unfashionable trend for the world; however, it’s acquired and required from a heavenly source. The purpose is to meet people where they are spiritually, while encountering real-life situations. Readers are invited to face a variety of daily challenges, while being motivated to address them from the Lord’s perspective rather than their own. The content is presented in harmony through encouraging words, lines, and stanzas. The framework will allow readers to focus on the internal sources of our choices—better known as the heart and mind. The author attempts to convince readers to consider turning away from prioritizing and valuing the external way that eventually withers away. The aim is to crop, add light, and colorize our character through biblical precepts. All working together through a divine and cultivating relationship that suggest hope, change, and revival. This process deletes the options of feelings, opinions, theories, or religions to address life issues. It reveals a required dependency, sacrifice, and commitment to Christ to ensure the dark pictures are developed divinely as beautiful testimonials displayed in His light.
