My life's path that kept intersecting with my now wife from the '70s through the '90s soon became a reality of one chance encounter through the internet leading to my first book and marriage to my best friend and soul mate

Wonders of the free-will abyss finding screams of yesterday's hollow eyes crying out for a second chance.
As a voice whispers from above as it did all of yesterday's chances fading in the smoke of your demise like your words of today falling back into the abyss of your own free-will.

My Eyes Do See Gods Glory; is a book birth from a vision that took me from this limited existence of time into Gods Eternity; a journey that cannot be forgotten and a warning to all who are willing to listen and receive or not; as that is your freewill choice.

I believe we are all called to be Gods scribe in one form or another so putting God first, others second and myself third words flow through my spirt to my keyboard in honor of God and I think this type of thought process takes you from being an aspiring writer to a writer for Gods glory.

As a Christian author, I find talking to God, worshiping Him and reading His word gives me the greatest power over writer's block. I often take this writer's block and vision it as a wall stopping me from using my gift from God reminding myself about how the Israelites marched around the walls of Jericho once every day for six days with the priests and the Ark of the Covenant. On the seventh day they marched seven times around the walls, then the priests blew their ram's horns, the Israelites raised a great shout, and the walls of the city fell. So I speak as my gift is from God and it is the Holy Spirit that writes through me as I sound my spiritual ram's horn I vision my writer's block wall fall by faith.

It is extremely important for writers to understand the parts of a paragraph; however, there is
more to good writing than just knowing these key components.
The next step to improving your writing is to move beyond words and sentences. You must learn to consider how all of the sentences interact with each other and how your reader will relate to your paragraph. Five elements of good writing are:
• purpose
• audience
• clarity
• unity
• coherence
• controlling idea
• supporting sentences
• concluding sentence

What we did not realize was the depth and healing power behind each story and a mystery; setting readers free from the pain and void created by death giving each reader; like a breath of fresh air a peace, hope, and love that is hard to explain but very visible in their hugs, tears of joy, and thankfulness for sharing the stories that inspired Shellie and I.

Our inspiration came from a thought that caused us to question---
“Why are we here upon this earth, what is our purpose, what is this time all about?”
Drawing us so close to an answer that changed our lives from the core of our being “The possibility of our spirit ending is impossible!”

Shellie and I just love visiting grave sites and the mystery behind each tombstone realizing this person who has left time embracing eternity has a story to tell so we set out to tell some very unique stories that touched our hearts being guided by the Father of Lights who also lives in this eternal state.
