How We Behave At The Feast

Life's Lesson: God did not create us in a day stamped "priority mail", so where do we get the idea we should always be first? First in line, first one to start nudging forward when the light turns yellow, first to have the newest fad. Wake up, settle down and read a book. Dwight Currie has found a way for you to relax, think about your priorities and enjoy the life you were given. His anecdotes of wisdom through knowledge, a midwest upbringing, and just "common sense" will delight you into becoming the courteous, nice person God intended you to be. After reading this book the only "first" I knew I deserved was being his "first" cousin and getting the benefit of being one the the "first" ones who got to read his book.

Couldn't wait for another chance.....

to laugh with my cousin. I shared some of the special picnics with Dwight and his sister in Iowa many years ago. I never pass up a chance to chat with this special cousin, although we are now on separate coasts. I loved the book and wasn't surprised. Dwight brings this humor and insight to simple chats on the front porch. He brought me great memories and a smile in writing just a short paragraph in a card when I lost my father. I hope he continues to write and entertain us. Cousin Linda

A Feast Worth Reading

Mr. Currie shows us through humor and inspirational passages, how to accept, behave and share the bounties we all have. Want verses need, give rather than take, and a general outlook of thankfulness are topics on which all humans need to reflect. This book makes us step back, look at ourselves and, perhaps, live a more comassionate life. Good Work Mr. Currie!
