    About this ebook

    The Bible tells us that "a Merry heart is good medicine for the soul and body." God imprinted human beings with the ability to laugh and express joy when we see something that pleases and delights us. God is the creator of humor! He built it into our DNA, and it is a wonderful expression of how glorious our Lord's sense of humor must be. Laughter adds greatly to the quality of our lives. This ground-breaking book, although brief, is designed to lift you from your day-to-day routine and hopefully help you to relieve stress and tension. This is a book that people of all ages can feel comfortable in reading. You can present it to your pastor, associate pastor, and/or any church staff member. There is nothing offensive or controversial. May your enjoyment of this book equal the joy of the author as he was preparing this book for your pleasure. You will find jokes and anecdotes that range from the profound to the silly. Please enjoy.

    Eleanor Roosevelt wrote "Autobiographies are only useful as the lives you read about and analyze may suggest to you something that you may find useful in your own journey through life." There are no mercies that have not been extended to me by God. This brief biographical text extends from the shadows of eternity past when Almighty God first gave thought to my existence. He placed me in my mother's arms on September 13 1946 in a sterile hospital room in the city of Elizabeth New Jersey. World War II had ended one year earlier, and I was entering an entirely new world in a country that was still free and prosperous. My school years were safe, tranquil and full of various adventures. I thought I was in love twice with girls named Dolly and Pat. But I moved on. College called and I answered its beckoning. I attended a small college in Kentucky, graduated after 5.5 years, and started my life in the field of education. I earned Bachelors, Masters, and Doctoral degrees. It has served me well. I was first published at the age of 14 when I published an article in Teamsters Union newsletter in 1960. I am twice-married, blessed now with a wonderful "soul-mate," if you will. Life is very sweet. I have five children and four grandchildren, all in New Jersey. I have published many articles in the area of Christianity; articles in the field of education; books and articles about the Old West; and three Christian related books, all of which can be accessed online. I spent my working life as a high school guidance counselor, and continue counseling now as a Christian Counselor in Vero Beach Florida. At 74 years of age, my mind is sound and vibrant. I plan to continue writing and publishing - Lord willing.
