About this ebook
Good and Evil – I Walk A Crooked Line is a not like any book you have ever read. It is about a person’s internal battle to do good over evil. This book is about YOU! Listen - “For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. For that which I do I know not: for not what I would, that do I practice; but what I hate, that I do. But if what I would not, that I do, I consent unto the law that it is good. So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwelleth in me. For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me, but to do that which is good is not. For the good which I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I practice. But if what I would not, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwelleth in me. I find then the law, that, to me who would do good, evil is present. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members. Wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me out of the body of this death?” This book discusses good and evil, good vs evil, of good and evil, beyond good and evil, evil good and good evil, the good and the evil, and good from evil.

Introduction – It’s the Going and Not the Getting There That Is Good!
Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked? All things therefore whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, even so do ye also unto them: for this is the law and the prophets. Enter ye in by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby. For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it.
This is not like any book you have ever read you have read before. It is about you and it is about me. The internal battle we fight daily is between good and evil within us. We struggle to live a peaceful quiet life but the battle is never far away.
From the least of us to the greatest, the battle is present daily and as we live our lives, we struggle to do good and not evil. One of the greatest men who ever lived – the Apostle Paul - put it this way…
For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. For that which I do I know not: for not what I would, that do I practice; but what I hate, that I do. But if what I would not, that I do, I consent unto the law that it is good. So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwelleth in me. For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me, but to do that which is good is not. For the good which I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I practice. But if what I would not, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwelleth in me. I find then the law, that, to me who would do good, evil is present. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members. Wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me out of the body of this death?

The Apostle Paul was without a doubt one of the greatest Christians that ever lived, and in the 1 st century Palestine, evil was ever present and eventually took his life in Rome.
Here is an interesting article I think will enlighten you…
Prayer for a Future Me
While thoughts and resolutions for the year ahead are crossing many of our minds, Matt Sly and Jay Patrikios are still thinking 30 years into the future. Sly and Patrikios are the minds behind the 2002 website Future Me
that allows people to send messages to themselves years or decades from the time they were written. In the year 2015, a man named Adam is set to get an e-mail from himself that asks, Do you still write? Do you still draw? Does Radio Shack still exist?
Sly explains the rationale: We want people to think about their future and what their goals and dreams and hopes and fears are. We’re trying to facilitate some serious existential pondering.
(1)
A quick overview of some of the publicly-posted messages shows people doing just that. Some are pondering dreams they hope to have accomplished by the time they hear from themselves in the future: I hope you are moving up in your job… I also hope you are making more responsible choices.
Others are taking it as a moment to remind themselves what they were up to years earlier or record what they hope will be beyond them in the future: I hope you’re better because as I’m writing this letter, you’re doing terrible.
It is a time capsule wrought in an e-mail, readily drawing in participants all over the world. At the very least, it extracts in many a sense of intrigue. At most, sending words to future selves seems to draw a sense of nostalgia, accountability, apprehension, or hope.
I used to keep a journal that mostly held thoughts and events consumed with present days. I seemed most prone to write in it when something was happening or had just happened, when something was on my mind or on my heart at present . But there is one page far in the back that differentiated from the others. In scattered sentences now crammed on a page full of thoughts I speak to days far ahead of me: Remember that you wanted to be the kind of woman that grows old gracefully.
If you ever become a parent, I hope you will be the kind who can say ‘I’m sorry.’
When it’s time to let go of certain freedoms, take it with poise.
"If it’s ever your turn to face disease, remember that you wanted to do it with
