How does life in each room of your home manifest the Gospel? The Christian gospel isn't just a spiritual reality. The Word became flesh and bone, and the gospel becomes our porch, dining room, bedroom, and kitchen. The driving desire of the gospel is "my life for yours." Our desire should be to have this love tranform everything we do, room by room. This book works its way through every part of the house, examining each part in light of Scripture. The claims of God are always total, and this is evident on the doorposts and in a sink full of dishes. Self-centeredness destroys in monotonously similar ways. Giving up life for another produces a harvest of kindness and mercy. Household questions should always begin with, "is this my life for yours?"

You know that moment when you just sit back and think about life and say to yourself, "where would I be right now if I would've made different decisions in my past? If I would've made a right turn instead of a left, where would I be standing right now? If I would've driven just a little bit slower and actually enjoyed the trip I was taking? That moment when someone told me not to do something and I did it anyway." Should you regret some of the things you've done in your life? Maybe if you wouldn't have done those things, your life would be better, maybe even worse. We've all done things in our past that we aren't proud of, but we just have to move past those things and continue forward. Sometimes it's the small things that affect your life in a major way and the big things may have no effect at all. Should you tip toe through life, remaining cautious at every turn you make? Or should you put the pedal to the metal and roll over every speed bump you encounter. Take a second to think. If you had the choice to change your past, what would you change? Would you change the way you reacted to someone who disrespected you? How different do you think the outcome would be? Would that one moment of retaliation be worth all of the trouble it may cause? All in all, It's not about where you come from, but where you want to go. Never be a product of your environment. If you believe in god, I don't think he wants you to fail in life. Just think about all the things that you go through and make it out of with no problems. He has a plan for everyone, and they are all different. He doesn't have a plan for anyone to fall and never get back up. Just trust and believe in yourself and know you can accomplish great things. Never belittle yourself and say what you can't do. Never say you regret the decisions that you've made in your life and never say you wish you could turn back the hands of time. There is nothing wrong with your life, you just have to gra

I discovered many years ago that writing poetry is therapeutic for my anxious mind. Scribbling down words and rearranging them to form a poem, enables my unruly thoughts to escape from my head. This little book contains a selection of thought provoking, but ultimately, uplifting poems, composed by the author. That's me! The poems are complimented by the true story of how I developed my writing skills. First attempts in those early days were filled with fun and laughter for my family and friends. As I journeyed through life and experienced the highs and lows of living on this planet, my poetry became more inspirational and I am told, helpful to others struggling with bereavement, anxiety or just coping with today's fast pace of living. I hope you enjoy reading Take A Walk Through My Mind and perhaps will be inspired to put pen to paper yourself. Go For It!

One day Eva Piper was an elementary school teacher, the mother of three, the beloved wife of a strong, protective husband. The next day she stood at the bedside of a broken man who could do nothing but moan in agony and turn his head away from her. Later she would learn that he had died and actually experienced heaven before being prayed back to life—a true miracle. Don Piper’s testimony, told in the New York Times bestseller 90 Minutes in Heaven, would one day bring hope to thousands. But all that was in the future. Despite family and friends who kept vigil with her, Eva Piper found herself essentially alone. Walking in the dark. And she had always hated the dark. Though it parallels that of her husband, Eva Piper’s account is quite different from his. It takes readers not to heavenly places but through a very earthly maze of hospital corridors, insurance forms, tiring commutes from home to workplace and hospital, and lonely hours of waiting and worrying. This is the story of a woman learning, step by darkened step, to go places she never thought she could go and growing into a person she never thought she could be. Packed with hard-earned wisdom about what it means to be a caregiver, to open yourself to the care of others, and to rest in God’s provision, this bookprovides a dependable source of light to help you walk through the dark.

Putting life in place... At the age of sixteen, I could see I lacked something in my life. I had gone to Sunday school for one year while I had to live with my grandmother for my fourth grade in school. I had some health issues, and she lived closer to the doctor. I went to a revival there for two Saturdays in a row. On the second one, I accepted Christ into my life. So since that day, I have tried to serve my Lord. Being a young boy and Christian, it was easy to be led astray while I was in my early years of military life. But in the beginning of my tour in Korea, I was in my sixth month in Korea, the war had been settled. I got a letter from a sixteen-year-old girl that I had never met. About one year and five months, we were married, so I gave most of my life so far to her and my country. The Lord took her home four years and two months ago. I worked for the government for over forty years and was in all the wars during that time--Korea, Desert Storm, and the Gulf in '93. You see, I love my country and want to help keep it free, where everyone can live in peace.

Writing is a huge part of my life. It allows me to express my emotions throughout the difficulties we all experience in our lives. I have had several poems published through some of the online poetry sites and have been fortunate to be blessed with this ability. I enjoy being able to put into words the feelings I have and then allow those feelings to flow from the page to the reader. When they connect with me to the point of being able to see, hear, or feel what I have written then I have accomplished what I set out to do.

This book is a result of many of my thoughts on life and past experiences. Some of the poems really reflect my deepest emotions. Some were really just brought on by the many things, good and bad I see around me. Our thoughts are many a times influenced by the joys and happiness of people around us. Mostly our hearts go out to those in pain and distress, but is there something we can do ? Seeing so many hurt children on a daily basis is what a lot of my poems reflect. I do hope that you will enjoy these poems. A. J. Williams

“I had experienced absolute freedom—I had felt that my body was without boundaries, limitless; that pain didn’t matter, that nothing mattered at all—and it intoxicated me.” In 2010, more than 750,000 people stood in line at Marina Abramović’s MoMA retrospective for the chance to sit across from her and communicate with her nonverbally in an unprecedented durational performance that lasted more than 700 hours. This celebration of nearly fifty years of groundbreaking performance art demonstrated once again that Marina Abramović is truly a force of nature. The child of Communist war-hero parents under Tito’s regime in postwar Yugoslavia, she was raised with a relentless work ethic. Even as she was beginning to build an international artistic career, Marina lived at home under her mother’s abusive control, strictly obeying a 10 p.m. curfew. But nothing could quell her insatiable curiosity, her desire to connect with people, or her distinctly Balkan sense of humor—all of which informs her art and her life. The beating heart of Walk Through Walls is an operatic love story—a twelve-year collaboration with fellow performance artist Ulay, much of which was spent penniless in a van traveling across Europe—a relationship that began to unravel and came to a dramatic end atop the Great Wall of China. Marina’s story, by turns moving, epic, and dryly funny, informs an incomparable artistic career that involves pushing her body past the limits of fear, pain, exhaustion, and danger in an uncompromising quest for emotional and spiritual transformation. A remarkable work of performance in its own right, Walk Through Walls is a vivid and powerful rendering of the unparalleled life of an extraordinary artist.
