Ghosts I Have Known & Conquered By Grace
God, Who sovereignly opened my blind eyes, was now sovereignly bringing me an understanding of what He'd done. He is the great Creator, the eternal Potter. The all-wise, all-powerful God orders all of our comforts, crosses and heat changes. He saw my need, pitied me, and did what I could not do for myself. He changed my heart.
A Bartenders Guide To Providence
A Man Can Survive His Dreams
My Provisions too easily become my treasures. I reasoned that a worthwhile dream would need to be one that survived the end of time. We are part of the colony of pilgrims still making its way through the wilderness to home. Most folks will agree...riches will not bring happiness, then they proceed to spend seventy years trying to prove...themselves wrong. Can you and I look on the world with a stranger's eyes?
Providence gives significance to our lives and ensures they have meaning. We shall delve into chastening, and we shall annihilate any notions we have of chance and fate. These to words describe something that doesn't exist. They are descriptive only of an unbelievers's delusions. To Understand life without a view to providence is to misunderstand life.

A Strange Thing Happened On My Way To Hell
A Sojourner's Songbook
The Bible views all Christians as sojourners and pilgrims. This notion has directed much of my thinking these past few years. Does life consist merely of a few fleeting years on earth? Of course not; real life begins when we die. John Newton said as he was dying that he was leaving the Land of the Dying and going to the Land of the Living, and I concur with that sentiment. Our lives consist of an eternity in God’s presence in Heaven, preceded by a short span of years on this planet. You will find this golden thread of thought woven throughout my little verses.
Regrettably, grandfathers seldom teach today. They are either too busy with their "own lives", or they've decided grandson teaching is not their domain.They are wrong. Grandpas' "own lives" include theduty and privledge of educating and instructing their Grandsons. This book was purposely designed to be too difficult for a grandson to read and comprehend alone. There are meant to be thought-provoking, and , hopefully, they will lay a foundation for true interaction between grandsons and their grandfathers. This book is meant for children aged 10+.

My astonishment at the mind and wit God bestowed on Mark Twain has never waned. The man could make you think and laugh simultaneously like no other. He still can and does, more than 100 years after his death.
“Man is a reasoning animal. Such is a claim. I think it’s open to dispute.” M.Twain
See what I mean? In my mind, in the summer of 1909, I visited a friend in Redding, Connecticut and visited the magnificent home Twain had built there. We became friends.
Over that summer, Twain and I played billiards many times. Our games and evening meals were often interrupted by disputes over the nature of man, the truth of Christianity, the reliability of the Bible, etc.
Mark’s anger and despondency, fomented by the deaths of his children and wife, had produced a bitterness in him that he could barely hide at his advanced age. His attacks on my beliefs, some frontal and some veiled, forced me to reconsider how I, or any believer for that matter, should respond to criticisms and objections.
Out of this consideration comes, My Summer with Mark Twain & Ever Wish Atheists Weren’t Quite So Religious?
I hope to finish this book by 1/1 /2017. It is my hope that conversations between Twain and a young Bill Moore will provide a foundation for others to build their own conversational, reasoned defenses of the truth on.
