Book Cover & Preview Text
One morning I shared a flight to Montreal with a fallen Soldier on his final journey home from Afghanistan. It was a powerful experience! Meanwhile, our entire Country is up in arms about the poor treatment of Detainees! But don’t despair – help is on the way. Religious leaders are parading around blessing people and praying that peace will soon be delivered by someone up above. That should work! When I was a kid I asked Santa Claus for a new set of goalie pads and he came through for me. I also prayed every night for God to save my Granny and my Grandfather and my Father, and he failed me. Would bigger collection plates have helped? We are experiencing the biggest recession of most of our lives. We see despicable behavior by men in suits during their window of opportunity. Our Governments bail them out. Then they give themselves bonuses. I guess that’s why God invented confessions. Now I get it. Our Governments have legislated us right out of our jobs, and continue to deliberately outsource our work to low wage overseas Countries. They still don’t get it! I thought Government works for us. But who really works for who? Some things are just plain stupid or just plain wrong. I just can’t pass them by! Now it’s time to put it all into perspective. What’s it all for? Someday in the near future, it’ll be me at the front of the church. They’ll all be there --- won’t they??? Forever! isn’t happening the way we hoped. As they close my lid Forever!, what will they all really think of my life? Was it really just – All about ME?
