The United States of America has been in trouble for a long time, but before we can correct the problems, we need to know what they are. The time has come for the people to know the truth about what is happening in our cities, our states and our country. Our government has placed an unnecessary burden upon the people of the United States by making mistakes and failing to learn from them. Now we must pay the price. We live in a FREE LAND, but we take it for granted, allowing others to work and fight for us. Instead of valuing the treasure that is freedom of speech, we contentedly stay silent. The only way to bring about the necessary change is to stand up for what we believe in and let our leaders know that we will not sit idly by while they destroy this great country. It is time we all say, "Enough is enough."

I wrote this book, What It Means to Be a Man of God, during the pandemic when the world was shut down, reflecting on my own relationship with God when we had no church to attend because the world was shut down. So God spoke to me and said, “Though the world is shut down, my kingdom functions 24-7. Those that know me have access to my kingdom!” Yes, it’s accessible to all who trust him! But men are essential to the work God wants to do in the world through us and for us! We must be kingdom Men of God to represent God on the earth. For those of us who are seeking a wife to be our helpmate, as I wrote in the book, we as men have to show something they can help with. We can only do that as men who are operating as men fearfully and wonderfully made, who has an established relationship with God, faithfully walking with him! My prayer is that this book provokes you in activating your call as Men of God, who have been called to represent God in our homes, our communities, and throughout the world so God may get the glory out of our lives.

This book teaches people how Spirit operates directly in our lives today and what we must do to live life to the fullest and with malice toward none.

It connects us with our eternal being within and encourages us to create our own soul music without. Have we lost our way as a society? In the wake of humans murdering over 100 million other humans in the past century, many of us are seeking answers to the ever increasing cultural violence surrounding us. From capital punishment to going postal, we live in a very violent society. Hardly a day passes without news of government torture prisons, drive-by shootings, a ten year old boy murdering his father, or a congresswoman being shot in the head. Shocking revelations, such as American government doctors using unsuspecting American citizens as human guinea pigs for decades of medical experiments, further alienate the government from the people that they are supposed to serve. It seems to me that we need a new vision of humanity that our faltering institutions have failed to provide. I believe that we need to replace institutional blight with greater spirituality. We need a new spirit of integrity that replaces the often deceitful and violent leadership we currently embrace. We need to challange the "don't get mad get even" mentality in our society with greater understanding for one another. We need to be role models for positive reinforcement (learning) rather than the punishment that only teaches more violence and hatred, and, like the Montagues and Capulets, the never-ending need to seek revenge. This book addresses how to live a life of health and wellness in the midst of a truly sick society.

“A powerful and timely addition to the literature of rhetoric and folklore.” —Choice In 1860, Abraham Lincoln employed the proverb Right makes might—opposite of the more aggressive Might makes right—in his famed Cooper Union address. While Lincoln did not originate the proverb, his use of it in this critical speech indicates that the fourteenth century phrase had taken on new ethical and democratic connotations in the nineteenth century. In this collection, famed scholar of proverbs Wolfgang Mieder explores the multifaceted use and function of proverbs through the history of the United States, from their early beginnings up through their use by such modern-day politicians as Barack Obama, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and Bernie Sanders. Building on previous publications and unpublished research, Mieder explores sociopolitical aspects of the American worldview as expressed through the use of proverbs in politics, women’s rights, and the civil rights movement—and by looking at the use of proverbial phrases, Mieder demonstrates how one traditional phrase can take on numerous expressive roles over time, and how they continue to play a key role in our contemporary moment.

"NO ONE SHOULD GRIEVE ALONE, LET THE HEALING BEGIN." -Remy Davis

I would quit this job, travel to some exotic place, and I certainly would tell those closest to me just how important they are to me. Words like these are echoed by so many people each and every day, and with each day we have to decide what to do with the time we have left. Inside of each person is a destiny, a calling, a purpose, and yet we spend day after day either running from that calling, ignoring our passion, or otherwise just taking up space. If Tomorrow Never Comes exposes the pit falls we experience in life, and brings answers to some of lifes most basic questions: Why am I here, and why now? Life is a journey of discovery, and within each discovery is an answer that will lead you to a life full of adventure, a life full of peace and joy, and ultimately fulfillment as you discover the destiny that resides in you.

Many pastors I have spoken with have no problem with the so-called separation of church and state and have even told me that it was in our Constitution. Because we no longer teach our Constitution in our schools and we, the pastors, do not teach the importance of who we are and where we came from, we have come to the point where we believe what we are told by academia concerning our Founding Fathers and the Constitution and have been led down a path of falsehoods and deception. It has been long said that if we forget who we are and where we came from, we will not know who we are or where we are going. There are many forces out there determined to remove all vestiges of our religious history. Our Founding Fathers knew that there was to be involvement by the church and allowed the influence of Christianity to be prevalent. The only separation of church and state that the founders wanted was an institutional separation. They designed our Constitution so that the government would have no say whatsoever in the exercise of religion by the people. Todays government has turned that around 180 degrees and is now using what used to guarantee freedom of religion to the removal of religion from the public square. Will we let it continue? It is now the choice of We the People.
