Some of us are in the habit of thinking about what we know; what we have experienced and are experiencing; and what we would like to focus on more deeply. While this habit is evidenced in differing ways it is clearly a process that seems to form part of the essence of who human beings are. And there is plenty to think about every day. Furthermore, this habit of thinking about life, has resulting in many interesting inventions, movements, and even inspiration about life. This is important. For when we are limited in our ability to engage in self-reflection, we stand a chance of becoming unbalanced. For it is possible to have what might be called a poverty in thinking and making sense of those thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. While it is also possible to think so much that one is stuck and in a ruminating rut that can cause disorders of the mind, heart, and soul. While it is not usually good to have a sparsity of thoughts and experiences it is also not usually good to be overwhelmed by them What is good is to have an appropriate abundance of wonderment that leads to stimulation of person and community. And so here we are - at the beginning of a book consisting of many pages containing thoughts about what the author and others know; what she and others have experienced; and some things many would like to focus on more deeply. And this time the material will be presented in a format similar to the previous publication, One Lesson at a Time 1- as a model for structured journaling, including content for contemplation, and hopefully rich sources for reframing memory, and furthering inspiration that leads to growth and development on the reader's personal and perhaps communal levels.

This book was written for the Lucas family and for the fans of "e;Donkey's Place"e; in Camden, NJ. The iconic business was founded by Leon Lucas in 1943. Leon was a boxer who won a medal in the 1928 Olympics. He became a Camden, NJ legend. Leon earned the nickname "e;Donkey"e; because his punch was compared to being kicked by a Donkey, a common sight in Camden, NJ when he was young. Leon invented a cheesesteak sandwich that is still made today exactly as it has been for the last 79 years in the same building. Not only has this legendary treat been passed down through 3 generations of the Lucas family but also through 3 generations of its customers. Many of them reminisce of when their parents or grandparents took them there for the first time to share the experience together. The love of Donkey's Place is ingrained into Camden and the love of Camden is ingrained into Donkey's Place.

Dr. Akeam Amoniphis Simmons has thoroughly examined this matter of faith. He has taken the subject of faith from an abstract discussion amongst church folk to a necessary lifestyle with Believers. His book of Mountain Moving Faith was written to guide Believers in how to live a successful life, and live the fulfilling life that God intended them to live. It is designed to help us pull off the defeatist attitude and reach higher into the dimension that God intended for us. Dr. Simmons ascribes that we are king's children and should act and expect accordingly. He shows that we will only get what we expect to have, and, unless trained, our children will be prone to failure and servitude as we have been before we discovered the TRUTH of Faith. He takes us step by step, with scripture, in how to increase our faith and have God conquering, mountain moving faith that will change our lives, our finances, and bring us a level of peace that we have not had here-to-fore.

How these two men viewed what a post-war America should look like would determinepolicy and politics for generations to come, impacting the lives of millions of people, Northand South, black and white. While both Johnson and Grant initially shared similar views regarding the necessity ofbringing the South back into the Union fold as expeditiously as possible, their differences,particularly regarding the fate of millions of recently-freed African Americans, would soonreveal an unbridgeable chasm. Add to the mix that Johnson, having served at every level of government in a careerspanning four decades, very much liked being President and wanted to be elected in his ownright in 1868, at the same time that a massive move was underway to make Grant the nextpresident during that same election, and conflict and resentment between the two menbecame inevitable. In fact, competition between Johnson and Grant would soon evolved into a battle of personaldestruction, one lasting well beyond their White House years and representing one of themost all-consuming and obsessive struggles between two presidents in U.S. history.

In this book I provide my answers to the questions which mankind has asked since the beginning of time: Is there a God? Is there a heaven? Is there an after-life? Do we reincarnate? Do we have an eternal soul? What is a "e;soul"e;? After 75 years of life as a lawyer, professor, author, professional athlete, father, husband, brother and friend to many, I have had innumerable experiences, just as every other mature adult has. I have traveled extensively, seen much and done much. I think it is my duty, and responsibility, to share my thoughts on such matters. I know full-well that no one knows, for certain, what those answers are, and probably never will. Regardless, I think every man and woman must examine their lives, and be ready to answer such questions if there is, in fact, a "e;God"e; to whom we must provide such answers. As Socrates said many centuries ago, an unexamined life is not worth leading. It is one thing to think about such things, and then to say them out loud, and quite another to put them down on paper for others to read and criticize. I am not trying to convince others that I am right and they are wrong. Again, as Socrates was reportedly quite fond of saying, I know nothing. I have examined my life and these are the conclusions I have reached.
