"Coming of Age" is a well done account of a strong life event for Tommy and also his attitudes growing change. It is very considerate to give us notes on other lives. Very enjoyable!

    Thanks so much Marie! I think I should make notes on where these characters have landed in life. So encouraging!

What I really loved about this story is that this "coming of age" isn't about the physical maturity - the bulking up and gaining muscles and respect, but the spiritual growth from learning from that moment of weakness of repeating the violence received and then repenting. It seems like God was watching you and making sure you were maturing in His ways.

What a marvelous story of life. I could feel the pain that you felt as you were going through this in your life. The idea that you had somebody who finally came to report. Where are you? Understood what life is all about is something that was very important for you. I loved your story completely and thought it was so well done. Patricia.

Isn't the growing up years wonderful with all the ups and downs? Actually, that never changes, just the circumstances. God taught you a valuable lesson with Joe's little brother. You did a great job with your chapter. Have a blessed Sunday. Shirley

Your life is interesting. We all have disappointment in our teen years like not makeing a team. You did something about it an built your body. We all have don't things we feel deep guilt about like you did with kid with cancer. You did what you need to do and asked God for forgivness. At least, you backed off with actually hurting the kid. I'm enjoying your story and looking forward to more.

Impressive. Your story is well-written and honest, and I found it compelling reading. You learned a number of valuable lessons through the experiences you wrote of, and the last paragraph is certainly a valuable life leson for each of us. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! I can't believe you kept track of your friends the way you did, they had a collective chequered career, but I can see how God would shape your life, He gave you a opportunity to prove yourself, allowed you freedom, but in the long run you reacted with deep regret fo what you did, perhaps there's hope, beautifully written, blessings Roy

Seems as if God moved you into a place in life where you would learn firsthand that everything that glitters is not gold. All was for a purpose to teach you and to this day you could share part of your existence. The nerd. Reminds me of Bundy. Good post, Bro.
