Give That Child a Chance
Mycroft Green can't pinpoint the deciding factor that propelled her to become a foster parent. But for most of her adult life, she has helped children and she knew she wanted to continue, especially assisting those who might face challenges. In Give that Child a Chance, she narrates her story of becoming a foster parent. Mycroft Green discusses her motivation, reviews the training required, shares stories of some of the children she cared for, and imparts advice for others seeking to become a foster parent. She tells that being a foster parent has been like a roller coaster ride. Every child is unique; they each have their quirks and their troubles. With some, it's an uphill struggle, and with others it's a downward slide. Give that Child a Chance gives insight into foster care and the important role of a foster parent. Mycroft Green is grateful she's been able to help children navigate their issues and help them gain the tools they need to restore peace in their lives.

Lessons in Accountability from My Father
This journey to share my father with the world began on Father's Day, 2005. After having gone through several rough days, I began reflecting on the calm that my father used to bring to my life. The quiet confidence of his mere presence just made everything all right - no matter what it was.Losing my father was one of the greatest losses that I have ever experienced. His short battle with cancer was a journey of preparation for living my life without him. We talked so much during his illness - so much more than we had before. And trust me, my father and I talked a lot! There was so much to say, and it felt like it was so little time to say it. But my heart is glad to know that all that needed to be said had actually been said already - throughout my entire life. He didn't need to tell me he loved me. I knew it. He didn't need to tell me how proud he was of me. I knew it. He didn't need to say anything that validated my existence. I knew I belonged.My father actually needed me to know that every decision he ever made since I was born was what he believed to be the best he knew to do at the time. He said, "You may have thought I was hard." I stopped him - "Yes, you were, but I was the better for it." He said, "You may have thought I was overprotective." I stopped him again - "Yes, you were, but I always knew you were looking out for me."What was profound was that at a mere 22 years of age, I had matured enough to know how great of a father that I had. I had known to appreciate all that we had shared. I knew our relationship was special. My father's final days were turbulent. My mother and I made daily treks to the hospital and spent our entire days with him, grateful to have each and every moment with him. So, in his final moments, he held on... because he knew we'd be there. As we reached his room, our eyes locked. He looked at me so deeply as if to say, 'you're okay! I'm going on now.' His short battle with cancer culminated in his final moments being the most profound exchange of acceptance that a father and daughter could have. He was understood and appreciated. I was at peace that he was proud of the person I had become - the person he molded. He then closed his eyes. Forever.So, this Father's Day - I wanted to pay tribute to him by sharing with the world all the wisdom that I was fortunate to be given during our years together.On the 16th anniversary of my father's passing, Mr. Samuel Giles, for whom my firstborn son and I were named, share with the world - Lessons in Accountability from My Father.

Hard Questions
This book, although about my life, I hope you experience it as a narrative about the questions, challenges, and decisions we all make in life. Often, we're afraid to ask hard questions, fearing the start of a word war, ending in a communication catastrophe, or family collapse. Asking hard questions reduces being defined by an organization or someone who wants to limit or categorize you. When I don't ask hard questions of myself, my motives, or my actions, I typically settle for the minimum out of life instead of embracing all that life can deliver. Reading this book or using it in a group setting will open your mind to seeking greater connectedness and increased self-awareness. Asking hard questions can stimulate deeper thinking, help define purpose in life, and generate enthusiasm for living in new, more fulfilling ways. It's taken a lifetime to realize a lack of questions leads to ignorance, failure, and despair. I'm a grandfather, husband, and father who grew up as a mid-west farm boy, one of eight children, where stability and connectedness were cornerstones of our traditional family and community. I like leading small groups, preaching, speaking, and traveling. I'm a busy amateur photographer who takes long walks. I have a BSME and MDiv; both took ten years to achieve. I started a software development company in my thirties. Twenty-five years later, after my M.Div. I received a call to a Lutheran pastorate. I'm retired and live with my wife of 55 years in the cold north. We have two adult children, two grandchildren, and a dog. I have not arrived; I don't believe we ever reach perfection; humans are imperfect, but we're always striving for a taste of the life to come.
