My personal story was written to show and relate the experiences I had working as an executive in Southwest Georgia in the late nineties through 2009. I heard stories from my in-laws about the experiences they had growing up in the South, but I never believed it would happen to me. I grew up thinking that because of my education, life was going to be easy for me and my family. I had not experienced this form of discrimination in my entire life, due to the fact that I was raised by white people from the age of fifteen to twenty-four. I felt it only happened to individuals who were lazy and wanted to blame their circumstances on others. I knew it would not happen to me because my husband was a successful lawyer licensed in three states; my in-laws were doctors; and I had a great education. Needless to say, I found out when we moved to Georgia - even after associating with the President of the United States and the likes of the founder of Habitat for Humanity International - it was obvious that I was still colored.

This is a collection of poems written by my son, Brendan, since he began at the age of nine years old. Brendan's poems vary from simple to raw emotions. When you read one, you are able to feel the author's sorrow or joy. All of Brendan's poems have meaning from his heart and soul. Brendan's greatest weapon was his words, and those would get to the heart of anyone who read them. You might have to reread them more than once to find their meaning, but it is well worth the revaluation. Brendan had the ability to touch people's hearts with his words, and that was a very special gift.Lessons take time to learn. He questioned things. Life, God, pain, and hate--that's what his poems are all about. Brendan took people like days, one at a time. Brendan tried to understand life, good, and bad; and God was his road map. Some of Brendan's poems can be dark, but they have that ray of hope by the time you get to the end. Brendan wrote poems about his experiences, such as the birth of his son. Sean Patrick Barrett inspired one of his greatest poems, "One Big Wheel," a poem to help survive life any way you can and keep your soul. I hope his words give you strength and encouragement as they have to many others.I present Brendan Patrick Barrett's life work in his own words. Take the journey, and enjoy the ride.

As a Louisiana sharecropper's daughter, Joyce Broyles grew up feeling loved and safe, free to roam the rice farm on her brother's horse, until middle school showed her the difference between poor country folk and well-off city people. With God's help through family and friends, she overcame low self-esteem and learned to trust Him for guidance and peace. Fifth of six siblings, Joyce enjoyed the outdoors and ballgames, but her mother insisted on teaching her to sew, cook, and keep a clean house. Because he had no education and knew the drawbacks from that, her dad insisted his children get a college education and contribute to their community. At a Christian college, Joyce met her husband, and together, they encountered many difficult circumstances during the years following as they moved from place to place. Reared under godly influence from family and friends, they were able to travel around the world and teach and encourage others to live under the wings of their Heavenly Father, trusting their lives to His care. In her memoirs, Joyce tells her story of how she and her husband and children followed God's directions, traveling and ministering, always under His caring wings. She is amazed at how God took her, with nothing but a desire to grow, and led her where He did, using others to keep her from being lost. After the death of her husband, Joyce tells how God helped her to cope and gave her a purpose to continue to serve Him.

This book is a memorial to C. W. Bynum. He was a passionate lifelong arrowhead hunter and collector. His plan was for himself and Barbara to write the book together during their retirement. This book documents three collections. First, a pictorial display of some of his collection, then a section of poetry mostly by Barbara, and finally a documentation of a collection of old-time herbal remedies. CW was a masonry instructor at Wallace College, and he would ask his students to get remedies from the old folks they knew he loved reading them and wanted them included in the book. So much knowledge about the arrowheads in this book was lost when CW died, but the points remain as a reminder of him to his family. This book was written so that the author and whoever else is interested can remember the feeling of walking in the Alabama fields after a rain with a beloved companion looking for treasure. It was a good journey.
