Welcome!

First and foremost, I want to thank everyone who contributed to the success of "You Know You're a Potter's House Kid When...". I am so excited to tell you that the book sold out in two days! This was more than even I had hoped or imagined.

Because of this, I am planning a second edition that will hopefully be available in July; of course, I will need everyone's help AGAIN!


Now that we have our creative juices flowing, I hope to inspire you to send in new ideas. I would like to add two new sections: "You Know You're a Pastor's Kid When..." and "You Know You're a Missionary Kid When...". (As well as new additions to existing chapters.)


(Just click on the 'comments' link, share your ideas, and please put your name and where you're from or you will be entered as anonymous.)

That said...please feel free to post new ideas or suggestions under so we can all make this book an even bigger success!

    Your parents get you candy or root beer for your birthday and you are thrilled!
