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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From Radio &#8211; Television &#8211; various books &#8211; magazines &#8211; conversations with people of many races and creeds &#8211; sayings I picked up throughout life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From prime ministers\u2019 speeches &#8211; a snippet from one of the Queen\u2019s speeches \u2013 presidents\u2019 speeches &#8211; children\u2019s books &#8211; conversations with neighbors &#8211; correspondence by letters &#8211; goodwill cards from friends &#8211; and even quotations from my school days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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\u2019s words, then I know my writing them was not in vain. God bless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2014Sis E.
