Victor Hugo once said There is one thing stronger than all the
armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come. For
55 years, it had not even dawned on me that I was a writer. My
first clue should have been when I realized that there absolutely
wasn't anything about which I didn't have an opinion. For five
years I published a weekly newsletter for my church. No one else
seemed to want to do it, and it was something that I loved doing.
The fourteen years that I worked as an Insurance Agent should also
have given me a nudge. I often gave group presentations that
included stories about so many of my life experiences. Many clients
encouraged me to write them down and share them with others. But it
took a life-changing crisis that made me take a look within and
find why God had placed me here. I have written a collection of
insights that I gained during the first half of my life. Each
chapter begins with a joke, a thought or a scripture that I believe
God laid on my heart. The body of each chapter consists of a
relating experience, insight or lesson that I gained. And each
chapter is completed with a prayer. I have noticed how people are
enjoying inspirational books that are also a Quick read such as
mine. I submitted Chapter Five to the Indianapolis Star and it was
published in the Faith and Values section of that newspaper. I
think that one sign that a book could be good is when the reader
wants more. Each person who has read these chapters did exactly
that and asked if they can pass on to others what they have enjoyed
or gained from my book. I would like to thank you in advance for
taking the time to read some of what I believe God has shown me in
my life. Come Share The Cookies. Lord, bless this reader, Amen.
What ? can your cat teach you about God's love? does eternity
look like? does a plump mouse have in common with your spiritual
walk? motivated Jesus to talk to a tree? can a baby elephant teach
you about your heavenly Father? can a chicken and a banana peel
teach you about staying focused on God's purposes?

Have you ever stopped to evaluate the quality of your life?
Today you can move toward the next level of enjoying your highest
level of living. Life is more than existing. We merely exist when
we live our lives without definition and divine purpose. To live
life with definite purpose is to live life at its best, with the
faith and the great expectations that bring us to our destiny of
all we were meant to be and all we were predestined to
experience.
These memoirs depict the triumphs of an African-American
preacher's son in the segregated South who succeeds as a social
activist, educator, founding pastor, and bishop. It tells
remarkable stories of the "Old Folks" and the renowned social
activists, educators, and religious leaders who in some way have
touched the destiny of the whole human race. We shall never forget
their legacy or their endless contributions of labor and love. We
shall forever treasure their memory and dare not ever forget the
urgency of their silent voices echoing to us "Carry on ... carry on
... carry on."
