Although I have achieved almost all of the goals in life that I ever set out to accomplish, nothing in my pursuit of the American Dream can ever compare with the gift of the Holy Spirit that I received on January 24, 1999. My life was forever changed in the twinkling of an eye when I was 66 years old. This momentous event completely overshadows anything that has ever happened to me, and to think that the Creator of the Universe has singled me out to be one of His own is almost more than my mind can enfold.

After this born-again experience, I was filled with the tremendous desire to do two things, i.e., to read everything of God that I could get my hands on and to be of service in His kingdom. To that end, I've read hundreds of books, commentaries, and devotionals, and I've made it a point to read the Bible through every year since my conversion. Then, too, I wrote my biography entitled Life's Reflections with the sub-title of From A Toddler To Eternity which was published by AuthorHouse in January of 2007.

In addition, I was moved by the Holy Spirit to write a number of poems and articles, as well as my testimony, and these offerings comprise the substance of this book. It is my fervent hope that the thoughts expressed herein will be an inspiration and a blessing to you and to others in your life. Blessed be the name of the Lord!
