A Storm Is Breaking
by Jim Damico, James Damico

A storm is breaking is an incident out of the life of a young boy.

It is the statement of the simple yet universal power which comes from the coupling of belief and courage.

Young Joey Manuel, the boy in the incident, possesses this power to an amazing degree without realizing it.

His inherent courage and faith give him the stature of a giant in the body of a boy.

The conflict which he faces and overcomes is in theory a common one, but in actuality it is a rare case.

It is rare because the little giant wins out.

Too many people end a common problem with a common solution -- submission.

They lack the power Joey Manuel lives by.

Yet it is a simple story.

It happened last night, this morning and will happen again tonight -- somewhere.
