h: Heart of a Leader
By Joe Heskett and Craig Sesker

Joe Heskett’s remarkable journey is an improbable
and powerful one. He grew up in a dangerous
environment: an absent father and a mother who
was hooked on drugs. Heskett was determined to
avoid the same fate. He learned valuable life
lessons and became a huge success as an NCAA
champion wrestler and Academic All-American at
Iowa State. The frontrunner to make the 2008
Olympic Team, Heskett’s lifelong dream was
derailed when a degenerative heart condition
nearly took his life. But Heskett persevered and
his passion is now directed toward giving back to
the youth of America with the launching of his
own leadership company.Joe Heskett is an
assistant wrestling coach for Ohio State University
and the CEO of hLeadership, which promotes
leadership in young adults that empowers,
inspires confidence, and promotes self-
awareness. hLeadership incorporates skills
learned through sport and applies those skills to
everyday life. www.hleadership.com

TBWGMF: Dave Swinton Replies to a Thread
By Dr. David Swinton

Pastor David Swinton lives a relatively quiet life in
Iowa with his wife, two kids, a cat, a hamster, a
congregation, and scores of “friends” who
advise, berate, humour, and indulge his whimsical
Facebook threads.

Chapters that include titles such as: “This is the
Year I Fight My Dad,” and “Pastors Prefer
Funerals,” Swinton’s banter between friends in
between his daily status updates confirm why
Facebook is a global phenomenon reaching over
250,000,000 users. As Swinton reconnects with
old friends and adds and drops new friends, the
reader is reminded why conversation is king, word
play never dies, and there are only a certain
number of Bing cherries the body can tolerate.

NEXUS
By Drake Silver

An abandoned house sits derelict on a hill. Just an
empty house. Or is it?

Five friends, bound together by their thirst for
knowledge. Five friends, curious about the house
and what lies within. They've explored more than
their share of derelict structures in the past ... but
this house is different.

It was once called “Ishmael's Folly”; the
frightened townspeople called it ABADDON.
Mysterious things went on inside that house that
no one could imagine. And now, it’s dark power
has seeped through from another place. A power
that could shake the very foundations of the
universe. For the house isn't a house...it's a
Nexus. And anything is possible.
