It is amazing how accurately you can predict what is going to happen when you see patterns. Repeated patterns become the future. This book describes eight patterns that determine how you function as an individual, in your family, in groups to which you belong, and in your work. By recognizing and understanding the patterns, it becomes possible for you to predict the probable future. You can then make choices and decisions based on what will probably happen, and what will likely happen after that. If you apply the principles embedded in the patterns, you can not only change your own path, but also influence those around you. You can alter the probable future from what it is going to be to what you want it to be.

An Unexpected HonorIt happened on May 1, 2011 on Sunday afternoon with about seventy-five friends, former kickers and families of former kickers, coaches, my family, and other friends from the church and community. The Thomasville Athletic Boosters Club, the Thomasville Athletic Department and others from the community had made the arrangements. They had raised enough money to replace the old original post and add one at the other end of the field. This field is not only used for football practice and track and field, but soccer is also played there. It is probably one of the best facilities of its kind around. This facility was named "The Allen Brown Athletic Complex" in honor of retired football coach Allen Brown. So having the goal posts dedicated to me on that Sunday afternoon was a great honor.There were several speakers who said some very complimentary things, pointing out the two beautiful new goal posts that were being dedicated to me. Then my attention was called to a plaque that was placed on the wall of the Allen Brown athletic Complex.I was overwhelmed by all the wonderful things said and the honor I received. I was also amazed at the number of friends who were there to share this moment with me. I really didn't think I deserved this much adulation. As I told them, I have enjoyed it so much because of all the rewards received in seeing these young men progress and become successful in their journey through life.
