I am proud to be a member of the USAToday 2007 All American Teacher Team, and a Nationally Board Certified teacher. I am also an author.
My books include: "Teacher Under Construction!", "God, Help Me Pray", and 7 others. Please see the list in this webpage, or go to: www.jerryparks.org.
Other than teaching and Bible study, my favorite thing to do is write. I am a charter member of the Author Advisory Council for Author House Publishers, and love to speak on education and publishing at national and regional conferences.
I attended Lafayette High School in Lexington, KY, and Eastern Kentucky University. I did graduate work at the University of Kentucky and Trinity Theological Seminary.

I used these in my digital camera, and they didn't hold a charge after less than a hundred cycles. Very disappointed in these. Expected more. On the other hand, I have Energizers that are still doing just fine after two years. Would not recommend Duracells for heavy duty rechargeable use.
