Have you ever had a Christmas gathering or family vacation that was way too interesting? Have you had a family member in the military or deployed to a combat zone? Have you struggled with your Christian faith? Have you or a family member faced cancer or another serious illness? If so, you are not alone, although you may sometimes feel like it. Author Terry A. Roberts has felt that way. He shares his experiences in his memoir, Youve Got to Be Somewhere. This slice of Americana, sometimes hilarious and sometimes starkly intense, recalls Robertss idyllic childhood, filled with baseball, Boy Scouts, and outdoor boondoggles. Life later finds him as a single Baptist minister in the South and Midwest while also serving as a marine. He saw combat in the first Gulf War, later as a US Navy/Marine Corps chaplain, and once again during the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. He was later diagnosed with cancer, a fact that changed his life forever. Through it all, his faith in God has helped him through the difficult times while making him more appreciative of the good in his life. Now he tells the story of his truly American lifean odyssey of humor, tough issues, and faith.
"These stories provide glimpses into military life, marriages and other relationships--good or bad, even religion, as well as death, physical injuries, post-traumatic stress, and traumatic brain injuries. Displayed here are also the ways people handle grief, isolation, conscience, dissention, karma, impermanence, and support gone wrong. At the heart of every story here is an American affected by our country's military involvement in Iraq or Afghanistan."--Introduction.
This is the second volume to the collection of new poems on romance and art philosophy captivating the minds and hearts around the world through small book readings. From newborn loves to old flames and faintly touching on mental health, he captures readers in this prelude book, giving hope and devotion for the future of your love and inspiring your own world of art.
These poems and short stories are arranged in chronological order as they were inspired by a long-term love affair and written from 1989 to 2007. For the perceptive reader one can trace the ups and downs of our relationship. These 18 years were filled with love and passion. Perhaps it was fantasy; perhaps it was the most real thing we will ever experience. These inspired poems were written mostly during the first ten years. As it became obvious that my dream would never come true, the inspiration dwindled and fewer poems were written in later years. The heartbreaking part of this 18 year love affair is that I am not sure my lover ever really understood or appreciated my unconditional deep love for her. I opened my heart to her through poetry, but I never knew what was in her heart. Perhaps it was a one-sided love affair, but I think and hope not. I was convinced that she loved me through her words and actions. At least I experienced a love that I had only dreamed possible. Each image carefully placed in this book carries a very special meaning for the poem and for our love journey. Even the clock photo carries a meaning related to the untimely death of US. Each word is carefully chosen to convey my feelings. While I tried to express my love in poetic words, there was an enormous amount left unsaid. I can only hope you find meaning and joy in the thoughts and feelings these words convey to you. A fuller story of this passionate love affair will be unfolded in an upcoming book.
