My Life Now and Then. Carla is influenced by the early impression of prayer and the written word. Looking back in time, she believes something providential occurred during the innocence of her childhood that seemed to cement unknowingly, a legacy of rich faith. Somehow through the indwelling Holy Spirit into the reservoir of her soul. Subsequently, with time, it was awakened to action as the inevitable—youthful folly, infidelity, divorce brokenness, unforgiveness, and various atrocities assailed the trials of her life. Carla turned to discover the one tool that was hidden and somehow rose to prowess and challenged the warfare of uncertainty. This tool has landed her safely and secured like an orchid that is washed, tossed, and strewn on the sand tides of life yet filled with miracles. Surprisingly, on the sand tides of her life experiences, she discovered her calling. Though, frightened by the call, she answered for service! Now on the journey to serve, she realize that she was inspired from a place of concern for fellow travelers on the trail of life. With her glass half full, Carla hopes her work in this print will be like a lighthouse that is fully wicked to emit light and navigate each reader to the path that liberates through her presence on each page. Amazing grace!

The definitive chronicle of underground music in the 1980s tells the stories of Black Flag, Sonic Youth, The Replacements, and other seminal bands whose DIY revolution changed American music forever. Our Band Could Be Your Life is the never-before-told story of the musical revolution that happened right under the nose of the Reagan Eighties -- when a small but sprawling network of bands, labels, fanzines, radio stations, and other subversives re-energized American rock with punk's do-it-yourself credo and created music that was deeply personal, often brilliant, always challenging, and immensely influential. This sweeping chronicle of music, politics, drugs, fear, loathing, and faith is an indie rock classic in its own right. The bands profiled include: Sonic Youth Black Flag The Replacements Minutemen Husker Du Minor Threat Mission of Burma Butthole Surfers Big Black Fugazi Mudhoney Beat Happening Dinosaur Jr.
