Excerpts from Things That Shouldn't Be Buried... As surely as God made green apples, He also has set a date for us to enter into an eternal life of peace and joy. A question to consider is this: "Do I want my package of knowledge, skill, and wisdom to be buried with me?" For this voyager, the answer was clear. The purpose of this writing is threefold: first, to share things I've learned which should not be buried, secondly, to gratefully acknowledge those who helped me learn them, and finally, to give God all the glory for those deathless contents found in the package of my life. This book will describe times and events in life in which I struggled. It will also reveal instances when I was able to think and act effectively. Some of these experiences may parallel events and circumstances you have already faced or may encounter in the future. My desire is that you will find something here to prepare, lift, and encourage you on your journey.
