This book is a collection of memoirs from the author’s life as he looks back in the “rearview mirror.” It is the author’s hope and desire that the writing of these experiences may be an inspiration and encouragement to others. Even though we are all different in our own ways, we have similar life seasons that we go through. We all have to walk through the “valleys” of life. I believe that these times should not be wasted but instead used as learning points. I believe that God has allowed me to go through these life experiences so as to make me better equipped and able to help and minister to others who may find themselves in similar circumstances. As we share our life experiences, it can be a blessing and encouragement to others. This is the author’s intent and desire.
