Flight of Life

By Xlibris US

I believe in touching lives of humanity, that hearts would be touched and inspired for a lifetime journey. We see so much affliction and suffering, greed and anger and sin in this secular world. I pray to be one of many vessels used to encourage the advancement of Christs gospel throughout the world. I strongly believe in family according to Christs biblical worldview. My aspiration is that this book would truly bless and change lives.

Acknowledgements

I first give praise, honor and glory to my Father God. I salute my Father, for He took me out of the wilderness and brought me into His fold. Thanking Jesus for my salvation and being the inspiration for writing this book. I pray that others will be inspired, encouraged and enlightened to seek Christ and know Him for themselves.

I would also like to say thanks to the many saints along the way who have touched my life in numerous ways. To my beloved mother, who was always there for her children. To my sister Mozella, who always showed resiliency to climb higher. I am ever so grateful that you opened your door to your beautiful home to me in my time of need and weakness. In 2012 I suffered that heart attack and had surgery. My soul so needed a place to mend and heal. You provided me with great comfort in that quiet place embracing me with such compassion and soft tender love. Pouring on my heart a bed of eloquence and beauty, not seeing a bed of affliction. You reflect what inward love looks like and all your acts of kindness and your beautiful daughter Gina who cared for me as well. I would never forget the mercy of God in your home, so very thankful. My sister Bernice, who endured so much and still continues to serve Christ while still lending me some of her strength. To my sister Pam and her husband Deacon James Riley who is only a phone call away. Always there for me lending kindness and Christian support. My sister Pinky, continue to stay planted in that vineyard of Christ. I rejoice with you that God has called you into His kingdom. Remembering also, my brother Lloyd, whom
