The book we are currently reading for our book club is Father Joe, the Man Who Saved My Soul, by Tony Hendra. I love this book! It is going to end up being on my list of favorite books. It is auto biographical. It is a book that will get you thinking and reflecting about your own life, your faith, and your existence.
Father Joe is a Benedictine Monk whom Tony met when he was a teenage boy. Tony was sent to Father Joe for what Tony assumed was pennance after being caught in an adulterous act. Much to Tony's surprise, Father Joe welcomes Tony and treats him with loving, kindness and forgiveness. This treatment by father Joe leaves a lasting impression on Tony. This begins the start of a beautiful, long lasting relationship.
The story is entertaining, enlightening and a good read. I highly recommend it as a must read.

Kudos to Dicks Sporting Goods On Good Customer Service
I have to admit when Dicks first opened a few years back, I didn't expect much, especially with respect to their customer service. Their stores are so large and I'm sure they have a big turn around with employees, but I have had very good customer service when I shop at Dicks.
I was in Dicks last week to buy a new pair of running shoes. I have been training for a half marathon run that takes place in early September. My left knee started to give me trouble and someone suggested that I should get new shoes. It had also been suggested to me by my doctor that I might need shoes with more support. I had worn New Balance Trail/Running shoes in the past and have had a lot of success training in them.
I had a good idea what I wanted before I went to Dicks. I was pleasantly surprised when I was greeted by a shoe salesman asking me if I needed any help. I explained to him what I my problem was and what I was seeking. He made several suggestions and then he brought out a pair of Aesics, which is a brand I wear and he brought out a pair of New Balance trail/running shoes that were last season. The trail shoes were a perfect fit and because they were last season, they were only $50. I was so happy to have found the shoes I needed and at a price I felt wasn't breaking my bank account. I would have bought two pairs, because it is always good to alternate shoes, but that was the last pair in my size.
So Kudos to Dick's Sporting Goods in the Mall at Robinson. Your customer service was excellent! Iwill return in the near future. I have two kids who will be playing soccer this fall and will need all the gear.
