Introduction There are poems that seek And some that keep; Troubles that we find. But some are fun, They bring the sun And help to heal the mind. For things that are spoken Find hearts that are broken, Needing words to heal; But joy can be found If we let words surround, Thoughts we can't conceal. So it's time to look, Turn the pages of this book And find where reason leads; For words can say All that brightens the day, To give the mind what it needs.
Life is one crisis after another. If you don't believe this, just wait, it will surely come! We are a people drowning in a quagmire of economic, political and moral confusion. So much of our activity is nothing more than a cheap anesthetic to deaden the pain of an empty life. We blame our circumstances, our government, our family and even God for our despair. We must recognize the frailty of human life, the reality of sin, the meaning of life, also the enigma of pain and injustice - all tools in God's polishing process in our lives! This book is a compilation of life-changing insights about a loving God whose character portrays His desire for fellowship with us and our need to accept, appreciate and experience His attributes in our emotions, pains and joys of life. By understanding ourselves, we will then be equipped with the ability to live today with laser-intense purpose!
