Description
*Condition Note: This book is new.*
Early on Mike ("hippie man") Mennard discovered that God is never dull. A once-aspiring poet, he wrote verse ranging from the sublime ("If all the world could see / The joy inside of me") to the ridiculous ("Hey, baby, I'll see ya latuh--/ I'm gonna eat a big cicada."). In this collection of cereal-for-the-soul stories, he hares lively lessons about God gleaned along the way from colorful characters in his life, like Mr. Paul (age 104) and his son "Little Paul" (81), who learn to get along at last. Or Logan, the holy terror, who finds some special friends. Or Ramona, the wallflower who blooms. Or--in the romance department--the resourceful Michelle, who prepares a delightful trap:
Michelle: "Mike, have you ever thought about getting married?"
Mike: "Yes."
Michelle: "When?"
Mike: "Well, I've always wanted to have a Christmas wedding."
Michelle: "I accept."
Mike Mennard will keep you laughing with his homespun humor as he explains how he lost 60 pounds, why he was one confused with Benjamin Franklin, and how the best is yet to come. You'll love his infectious message of hope--best summed up by his grandma and Pokey, the psych patient: "I'm gonna dance with God."
