Lady G wrote:Chapter after wonderful chapter. You did a great job on this book. And I know one thing for sure, I will hate to see it end. All in all a fantastic book. Way to go my friend. Shaotzu wrote:I must comment on the writing. Comedic writing is often the most difficult thing an author must do. Dialogue is in the top five. Combine the two and ask an author to present comedic dialogue- it's not easy. I like the work you did here and the timing was great. Keep up the entertainment. Kromag wrote:The whole story was great, you set the tone in the first few lines. It was a fantastic bit of comedy that served to further define the characters, and it was damn funny too. Boja wrote:It has been a long time since I have read something so touching. I did not know when to cry or laugh. I wish there was an emotion to do both at the same time. What a great book!!Dark Garment wrote:Excellent in every way. Great style, reminds me of David Eggers. Great emotion, great humour. That is, I must say, one of the best stories on this site. I applaud you. Lyricl wrote:FANTASTIC!!! You have kept me quite entertained with your words. Plus, that humorous only made it all the better. Highly enjoyable. Though I've yet to read all you have written, I can guarantee you THAT will certainly only be a temporary thing for me. Simply saying, I think you happen to be extraordinarily gifted at this writing thing. I look forward to checking out more of your work. Very interesting reading all the way. Keep up the great work. THANK YOU!

The two Kids are growing up in two different communities within 10 kilometers, without knowing each other but meets a couple of times by coincident. They finally fall in love in their teens, nothing can keep them apart anymore. The agitated mother of the girl tries to part the two and sends her daughter away in secret.

Finally the army calls for his duty, the times are getting hard for the two, but they find a way to convince the boy's parents that they should get married. The girl's younger sister finds out about the marriage and threatens to destroy them. Finally the two move away, and start to have a great future. Then one day, the young man gets an offer for a job in Canada, his dream country from his earlier time in life. Grabbing the chance by the horn they accept the offer, but once they are in Canada, the offer is not what was promised. In the process they loose all they had saved up, and went thru a few years of hardship. A great autobiography about love, intrigues, hardship, and even murder.

It's one man's story from childhood to his mid-fifties and counting. He never went looking for adventures or answers to life but because of timing, coincidences, synchronicities, (call it what you will) that started early and have never ended, he has been blessed with a lifetime of stories and then some. He spent his first twenty years in small town Iowa before the U.S. Army decided that they had a need for him. It was February of 1968 and it proved to be a bad time to be entering the military. After a year in Vietnam he came home intact but a changed young man. He packed up a van and headed west with everything he owned. (Except for the baseball cards that his parents had already thrown away. Damn!) After joining Vietnam Veterans Against the War (John Kerry was their president) he went to D.C. and threw his medals away on the Capitol steps with a thousand or so other vets who realized that as a country, we could make mistakes and this time we had. He was thrown in jail in Denver with 78 other vets for simply trying to march, as an organization, in the Veteran's Day Parade. It was a tough time for people to stand up to their government but he felt it was important and so did many people. Those actions changed the direction of our country. "Maybe something like this" the author suggests, "is needed again today". After some bad relationships, he hit the road for 2 1/2 years without an address to call his own. He spent two fairy tale winters in Mexico and Guatemala where he explored caves, found untouched ceynotes, met many characters as well as great friends, and all the while, he compiled stories. It was then that he began journaling and has never stopped nearly 30 years later and neither have the stories. He had the most vivid dream of his life, which magically, eventually led him to his lovely bride. They have now shared the past quarter of a century together including kids, and grandkids. It's all there along with the lessons and confessions.

I'm Praying, and I Won't Get Up: Establishing and Solidifying Your Relationship with God Through Prayer has three main emphases: praying in every situation, interpreting God's answers to our prayers, and strengthening our relationship with God through prayer. As we go through life's trials and tribulations, it's imperative to pray. The more we pray, the more God will answer. The more God answers, the stronger our relationship with God becomes. God will show God's faithfulness to us in our victories and in our mistakes, thus, strengthening our relationship, even to a point at which we can demand answers from God. This book illustrates the intimacy and power of a strong relationship with God and the depth of God's gracious love, as God literally answers prayer. It will exemplify how to grow your relationship with God and will inspire your spirit.
