My Good Time Stories

Inspirational, Motivational, and Heartwarming Stories

Read About Me!

I am a 62 year old Physical Education teacher and coach. I have been teaching and coaching three sports a year for 39 years….and have loved EVERY second of it! I am married to a fabulous wife and she has been the best mother in the world to my two sons.

I REALLY enjoy collecting and writing inspiring and heartwarming stories to share with other people/ There is nothing better in the world than to do things for other people and making them smile and feel good about themselves.

I truly hope that you enjoy the site. I am still a rookie at this blog stuff but I hope that I can improve this site as time goes on. If YOU have any stories that you would like to share, please don’t hesitate to send them my way.

Have an AWESOME day!!

    Normally we are never surprised to find writers behind so many different types of people & trades. We have made friends with networking buds from all over the world. All in love with writing & books. We have a fireman/writer, several doctors/writers, chef/writers, musicians/writers, lawyers/writers, policeman/writer, soldier/writer, roofer/writer, architect/writer, painter/writer…and now, coach/writer! That is a first!! And what an interesting combination we would have never dreamed went together! Just goes to show you writing will find it’s way anywhere & to anyone who has a story to tell. We think you are very unique & clearly you are in the right field as your work is wonderful!

        Courage times three is a unique read. There is so much history and tragedy- it is written almost as a memoir. You hear stories and you see shows on television about Nazi’s but nothing prepares you for the full horror of what it was like. Brenda Brown Elliott does it beautifully with heart and soul- and not relying on gimmicky clichΓ©s.
        The authors voice is so true you could believe that she experienced these events first hand.

        Lilly, Madeleine and Lorraine are paragons of faith. No matter what life threw at them, they handled it with faith. Battling two world wars and emigrating to America- these women never lost hope.

        There is so much more in this book, like Lilly and Valentin’s tender love story that defies all the odds. You just have to read it to believe it. Some label this book as Christian fiction, but I don’t agree. This is a book about love hope and faith and it is for everyone; it shouldn’t be pigeon holed into one genre.

        Overcoming is a big theme in the novel and how families cope with adversity and triumph.

        For me, on a personal note: This book is an allegory. An allegory on how to succeed at life by having faith. Brenda Brown Elliott and her strong role model characters showed me what every woman should aspire to- true grace.
