About this ebook
Saul
Just a man from the Midwest. Pastoria is where I grew up and was raised on a small farm. My old man passed when I was just a small child. I have no recollection of him. A southern Baptist was one way I learned of G-d; the other way, I was educated in a Catholic school for ten years. That being said, I have no illusions.

INTRODUCTION
L et me start by giving thanks to the true One God, the Son, My Lord and Savior,
and the Holy Spirit, for I owe them my all. I live a life of anonymity, for my life no longer belongs to me, my spirit is shackled to the throne of God, it has been forfeited the second time, a servant in this life and the one to come, thanks.
The writing,
they are prolific I hope. They are the thoughts of my mind’s eye in a conversation with the Great Spirit within. There are poems which came together during a period of my life, which I contended with the Almighty. For I bypassed Christ and took on the Great One by myself, I will never do that again. I, a mere mortal, that challenge G-d,
futile to say the least. My imagination got the best of me, the greatest or one of the greatest gifts given to man. Humble me, also force me to look toward Christ. As the writer, Shaw, so elegantly stated – Must a Christ be crucified in every generation, for the benefit of those who have no imagination?
A man from a small town, Nobody, is who I am,
led by the Spirit to write a prophecy, yet I have wrestled with this over many years. My family is not from a high class and I am a man that keeps to himself, I ask – why me?, isn’t there somebody else my Lord?
I understand, Jonah and Moses, why they were so reluctant.
Because of my imagination, I placed Christ on the cross, then I became his servant, for through Christ, I have a greater understanding, for without an imagination you cannot believe, or let me say, know Christ.
The mistakes I made, to only find out that first; all I had to do was trust. Life is an open book of lesson for us to learn, some grasp the lesson relatively easy, some do not, and I am the latter.
Why is our imagination one of the greatest gifts given to man? For we were made from the Great Spirit image,
we are a copy. To create, first you must imagine. For man was on the Great Spirit’s Mind, let the
