Pass the Salt... is a collection of provocative, credible, and contemporary devotionals. They were written prayerfully. I believe that I was often inspired by the Holy Spirit. Like most reflective writings it can bring the reader to new understandings of familiar subjects and also introduce them to new ones. I believe you will enjoy these devotionals and it is my hope that they will bring you closer to and give you a deeper understanding of God. They did for me. I felt His joy and presence many times while writing. May they touch your hearts and minds and give you peace, joy, and again further understanding. Thank you for your consideration.

From Millville, New Jersey to Sunbury, Georgia, a down and out musician strikes gold in 2007. Follow Bongo Bucky as he tries to transform from a careless, destitute buffoon to a wealthy entrepreneur. Bongo and the colorful characters he meets along the way live lives of zany, bizarre antics. He becomes a sort of comic 'green hero for the environment' even with his tragic street villain personality. Bongo leaves his roots but faces the same complexities of American life, whether growing up in New Jersey or playing tycoon in Georgia. He started life as a model student, stagnated for years in a rut, only to bloom late and disprove his detractors. Life in a rural Georgia seaside village is quite different from his 'Jersey Shore, ' but he fits in enough to become a 'Damn Yankee, ' one who stays a while. Little does he know his venture is like stepping in a cow pasture. It takes a hardheaded stubborn person to get through his tribulations but Bongo has the scrappiness, and this time, some money to back him. Life in the south involves deep faith in the good ol' boy system, trusting authorities to watch their backs, and for the most part they do. But little secrets linger. Read how Bongo uses his convincing personality to solve so many problems.

***This edition is a revision of the first. I rewrote it with the mindset of making it an easier read by cutting out a lot of the busyness of the first edition. My Story is better detailed, chronologically smoother and does not have the unnecessary topical breaks. The optional questions have been eliminated. I believe the reader is already coming to the text with their own questions. Again, I believe this edition will be more valuable because of the changes that were made and it takes only about 1 1/2 hours to read.*** This work was written out of genuine concern. It is intended to give hope, insight, support and healing to those who have been touched by suicide. My main goal is to aid in suicide prevention through enabling the reader to identify, help and save both those who are contemplating suicide and those who are likely to ponder it in the future. I believe that I have an insider's view of this devastating darkness called suicide. I have battled with it for over 20 years. My compelling desire is to help, support, and create a healing environment for those who have been destroyed by suicide and to aid in prevention whenever possible. In order to get the most out of this book, it's important to read it with an open mind. It has been written from my worldview and personal beliefs. These beliefs have kept me alive over the years and they continue to support me on a daily basis. A compilation of stories will be used throughout this book to help us understand this dark act we call suicide. It is my hope that you will find it both interesting and encouraging. I do not pretend to fully understand this enormous subject and this book is not intended to be all inclusive. My intent is to show there is hope for the hopeless, light for those in darkness, truth for those being lied to, and forgiveness for the guilt-laden.
