Doug's Story

Life now Work in ministry in several capacities. I work with 2nd and 3rd graders at church in Roots Wednesdays, with Godlife.com / Global media outreach as an online volunteer and Community leader, and while Canton youthquake is now only a foundation getting kids to camp with the remaining money, I was on the board of directors for 18 years and was assistant and did a lot of teaching and things for 21, I still try to help our former youth grow spiritually who are not connected yet it was a church and also some online through email. I thought I was good in high school, but never had the saving knowledge of Christ & His forgiveness & mercy in my heart till college, that I can recall; I was trying by works, but I couldn't be perfect. I ran the youthquake website and also co-hosted the radio show, you can see all of our radio shows online at the internet archive, at archive.org, under greater cancer Youthquake. I graduated law school, I do some wills & estates; went back to school to be minister, graduated May 2008; I would take any speaking engagements, has God has obviously opened my calendar, freeing me for something. Maybe it's more with gmo, maybe something else. People e-mail their sites from all over the world. I'm one of those who responds. I can't afford to be a member, I'm on a tight budget, so I probably can't contact anyone, sorry. But, that's why i give my address below. Please e-mail if you've visited this, because I don't have the money to join just to see if anyone visited, and you have to be a member to find that out :-) dfowler955 (at )gmail.com I've been a lawyer since '95 when I passed the Bar Exam; doing some wills and estates to get by, I can handle that part, but want no more of appearing in court, etc.. I want Heavenly rewards, and court work gives me a headache. Writing I wrote 2 books, "This Little Light" and "Never Let Me Go," through Print On Demand publishing. I updated the former in 2010. I wrote a Chronology of "Full House" that fills in gaps, gives characters believeable pasts and futures, covers things logically from a psychological perspective. You can e-mail me for a copy, it's big, over 2 MB. In 2011, I wrote "If Baseball Integrated Early," about the game being integrated from the start, and have written around ten print-on-demand books since. This includes "Discovering Grace," about a couple kids who are the only Christians in a dysfunctional home and the adventures they have. E-mail me at dfowler955 at gmail dot com for other stuff. Also, my screen name on fanfiction dot net is "Me." Junior High and High School I hope y'all remember me from Souers, too, though i only transferred there in 8th grade. I wasn't there the full 3 years, then. Anyway, I'm still a huge baseball fan, and still legally blind, 20/800 vision, but I can still see print like this close to the screen, and still love to read and learn. My vision and hearing handicaps are congenital; I was in Souers' district but was in the Visually Impaired program at Lehman for a while. Souers was far better. I've alwaes been so sensitive and such that I really needed, well, something different. I found it. Don't bother trying to find me in yearbooks; to quote from what I put on the timeline here: "Left Visually Impaired program at Lehman around date mentioned, give or take a week or two, so I could take Physical Science in 8th grade. We'd either already gotten class pictures or gaffe from 9th also occurred in 8th; I know the mobility instructor would still do mobility with me from Souers, so I w...Expand for more
as either on mobility or absent when pictures were taken in 9th, and just sent in a picture, but the company still had me at Lehman. Also, I kept in touch with the newspaper staff there. So, it wasn't a joke or anything putting myself at Lehman in those yearbooks - at least not on my part :-) It's just I was always too docile to really speak up." And, all this part of my stuff's really just fun anyway. Thanks to all who did help me once I got there. I remember people were so nice, probably because I was the only handicapped kid there, or at least I think I was. So, they asked questions and tried to help. Remember how I'd talk like I knew people named Who, What, and so on, like the Abbot and Constello routine? And, I always told such corny jokes. Still do at times, in fact. :-) When I interned at old WOAC-TV, the sports guy called me "The Baseball Encyclopedia." You might have guessed, huh? Actually, I'm not as huge a fan as I was, but I still like it a lot. I use stuff like that to get along because I honestly don't alwyas know how; in first grade and some in second, I was spending recess talking with imaginary friends on the playground a lot. It's possible I even have a touch of Asperger's Syndrome so I'm really between you're a typical and Asperger's. I also have some Dandy-Walker Syndrome, though not a huge amount; those with only a little can still function quite well. The D-W was found in a brain scan after a fall; I was okay. Anyway, my eye condition, coloboma of the choroid, often shows up in those with D-W. Really, it's all about how God has helped me overcome. I give all the glory to him. Status Still single but looking. A spouse would have to drive for all the dates, and it would be pretty tricky at this point anyway. I am fifty-two at this writing. However, you never know. Children: I did pray a lot to adopt back in the early 2010s. I eventually felt God leading me to pray like Hannah did for Samuel. I truly believe I have a child in heaven who, had they been born or lived, I would have been able to adopt. I write about it – and to that child - here. Tomychildinheaven.blogspot.com Humor Top 10 signs you're dissatisfied with the practice of law: 10. When asked "boxers or briefs" you immediately reply, "Boxers, I can't stand writing briefs." 9. You start requesting not only Washington's & Lincoln's birthdays off, but also those of Presidents Pierce, Fillmore, Harding, Nixon, and Buchanan. 8. You stand up in court and you suddenly start singing, "Can't we all just get along?" 7. You start referring to other classes you liked in college as "old flames" that you're thinking of looking up again. 6. You list your accomplishments to someone you meet, and you leave out that you're a lawyer. 5. You find yourself singing Barry Manilow's "Tryin' to get the feeling again" while walking into the courthouse. 4. You feel great satisfaction when while considering other career choices, you look in the mirror and practice saying: "You want fries with that?" 3. When discussing "war stories" with colleaagues, you get the most enjoyment out of that 1993 Cubs team you led to a world title in Start-O-Matic, including that 20-inning Series game 1 you won against Randy Johnson. 2. You find it easier to communicate if you pretend some of your old stuffed animals are doing your correspondence. And the number one sign you're dissatisfied with the practice of law: That little poem you wrote about your legal career has earned you a Grammy for best new Country Music songwriter! Go Bulldogs!!!
