The more than sixty short stories that make up "America's Finest"
details the humanitarian service as well as the personal sacrifices
of the men and women of each of the branches of the United States
Armed Services in Iraq. United States service members provided
Iraqi citizens health care services, formal education, public works
and many other services too numerous to describe. Though the United
States Armed Services are trained in the art of war, more than 70%
of its activities, even during the period of armed conflict, was
dedicated to non-combative work for and on behalf of the Iraqi
people . within days following combat action, American service
members began initiating public service work toward re-building the
infrastructure and personal lives of individual Iraqis in a spirit
of compassion, mercy and forgiveness towards those who had been
enemies only hours before. Airmen/women, Marines, Sailors and
Soldiers gave thousands of manhours each week in their attempt to
make life better for the Iraqi people. A number of these service
members gave the citizens of Iraq the greatest gift any person
could render--their lives. Privates, junior enlisted
non-commissioned officers and junior company grade officers most
between the age 18 and 24 years of age make up the majority of the
figures in these stories. These brave, resourceful young men and
young women are the REAL heroes and heroines. From rural
communities, suburbs and inner cities; rich, middle class and poor;
every racial and ethnic group make up the United States armed
services. As an all volunteer force, there is no compulsion to
serve. Yet each do so willingly for freedom and liberty for all.
They are indeed "America's Finest" and patriots all
Regardless of age life can often time get very difficult. We find
that many people and social activities demand our time, talent and
treasure-children, wives, husbands, school, talent and
treasure-children, wives, husbands, school, work, friends,
relative, extracurricular activities. In the daily grind of living,
many forget or ignore, what is most important for our lives. At the
end of the day in the silence of our homes during our reflective
moments, we are made aware of one simple reality-that no amount of
money, achievements, or hedonistic pleasures satisfy the human
spirit and soul. What we most desire for ourselves is to determine
purpose and meaning in life. That is, we desire to know what life
and living is about and why we are here. We long to know God-even
if we say we reject His existence and authority. If you have come
to a crossroad in your life and living is meaningless or you are so
involved in everyday problems without resolution; if you are
throwing your hands up in frustration; if you can't determine what
God wants you to do and want to stop going through life without
know what to do, then Crossroads To Life And Living is for you!
Crossroads To Life And Living asks you to look at 63 issues every
person at one time or another must deal with at some time in life.
Each story lets the reader know that there is a God who knows you,
knows your needs and loves you unconditionally. More than 20
devotionals and prayers are included in the appendix to uplift and
inspire the reader to seek God and do His work daily throughout
their lives.
On Eagle's Wings is a book of 45 short chapters of Christian
oriented stories involving children, teens and young adults in
situations in the all important work of God in their lives. The
stories emphasize God's unconditional love for humankind, the
effect that love can have when positive Christian action is
employed and understood by those seeking purpose and meaning in
life. The 35 Appendices are short prayers and thoughts to inspire
the reader to do God's work daily and throughout their lives. As
the reader reads each story, it is hope that he or she come to know
that God is in control and desires only the best for them. Although
life may sometimes not make sense and there is unspeakable
suffering, know that God's wings are always present to shelter
under to lessen life's burdens and give one a sense of hope and
courage during their trying times.
