Book Cover & Preview Text
Then summer gave way to fall. The nights got cooler and our porch became a place to enjoy the serenity of the night. This was a calm and peaceful get away to collect our thoughts and just be still. Occasionally an owl would sound off in the distance and a coyote would howl. The moon would shine light over our yard and many times deer would graze after dark. The quietness Marilyn and I enjoyed still has a calming effect on me even though it was long ago.

About the Book
Hold My Watch asks: Ever wonder if prayers are answered?
In this memoir, Johnny describes how prayer brought together two people from different states. Just beginning his coaching career, an attractive woman showed up at the school gym one Sunday afternoon and got the coach’s attention.
In their story we travel back to the 1950s and share in childhood antics, experiencing the values of family, friends, and their love of Jesus. Share in their joy creating their retirement home. Feel their pain and sorrow when Alzheimer’s changes their lives forever.
Hold My Watch will warm your hearts and lift your spirits as Marilyn and Johnny take you on a journey that lasts a lifetime.
