Writing these statements, I believe them to be facts and an important aid on life’s journey. These writings were made in good faith. Some of the words are entirely mine through the patient study of scriptures; others I have gathered from many sources.
From Radio – Television – various books – magazines – conversations with people of many races and creeds – sayings I picked up throughout life.
From prime ministers’ speeches – a snippet from one of the Queen’s speeches – presidents’ speeches – children’s books – conversations with neighbors – correspondence by letters – goodwill cards from friends – and even quotations from my school days.
I have gathered all these words and sentences, as it were, to keep them alive. For words are ever powerful; they can kill, and they can give life; they can damage, and they can repair; yes! Words are all-embracing.
You will find the repeat of the same story teaching a different lesson, from a different perspective, in a different context, but the same story. Just as there are four gospels, but in essence, one gospel.
If these written words serve to encourage one soul to search the scriptures; if these words serve as an inspiration to one human being, to study God’s words, then I know my writing them was not in vain. God bless.
