Though many of the thoughts and ideas in this book are mine, I know, as stated above all of us tend to have very similar thoughts and ideas. I chose the title of this book you are reading right now for that very reason. Much of what you will read has been prompted from TV shows, things I have heard on the radio, or from books I have read. So yes, there has been some outside influence, but the direction those thoughts have taken are because of who I am. What you will read are poems, some messages I have given during chapels, illustrations and anecdotes. You will also find observations as stated above. Don't get me wrong when it begins to sound like I am being sacrilegious. As I mentioned above these are my thoughts. I am a man and as such I could be wrong. I don't want people to follow me but the one who I serve. I urge readers to do what the Bible says. Take everything and match it up with God's word. Where I am wrong, I am wrong. I do not want to lead others astray. These are reflections of my thoughts and my thoughts alone. The times that this differs I will make sure I give credit to the person that deserves the credit, like the chapter titled "THE GATHERING." As of this book going into print, I have added two chapters at the end of the book. You can call this a bonus for purchasing a hard copy of my book. I want to thank you for your interest and I hope that you may be able to get something out of it.
