Like Poison in the Ground

About the Book

If we use a clear mind and consider how will what i’m about to do benefit me, in what area of my life can i use what i am about to do? Education, hard work, unwillingness to follow the “In Crowd” and a few other positive considerations are often given a “thumbs down” by those not willing to have a dream to follow. or they may have a dream, but by some unfavorable associations, or even personal disappointments, it has caused them to choose the wrong path to follow One of the things we need to do is appreciate the life that was given us and realize the our choices affect the outcome. how much better off we would be if we can be proud that we love ourselves enough not to allow any substance to be abused. Remember our body is our temple and it will act according to what we fill it with.

About the Author

Carol Hart-Parker originates from a mid-sized Midwestern town known as Danville, Illinois. She is the mother of two daughters, Tracey Parker and Tara Parker-Blue, and a son, Lantz Parker (deceased) and a second mother to her daughter’s husband, Kenneth I, whom she considers her son. She is the grandmother to grandson Kenneth “KJ” Blue II and granddaughter Kara K. Blue. All are the loves of her life. Mrs. Hart-Parker’s husband of fifty years went to be with the Lord last March. The loss is deeply felt, but his presence is felt throughout her works, especially through her ministry. She is an ordained minister at Carter Metropolitan Christian Methodist Episcopal Church (CME). Her life’s work has been working with children as a head start teacher and in administration, assisting with community services. She asks, “Where are you going with your life, and are you allowing God to lead you there?” Young people, finish school and go to college. It’s not cute getting in with the wrong crowd or taking part in something that can change your life for the worse. Be an upstanding citizen and make someone proud to know you. More importantly, be proud to know yourself. Much love, Carol.
