    About this ebook

    The reason I wrote this book was to make available stories that prove it is not too late.
    I had discernment that I should write short stories and mix various topics with both humor and eternal consequences.

    On October 30, 2012, I was on an elevator flirting with several women. I walked off that elevator with an idea: a book about flirting. During the first week of November
    2012, I asked Jesus to give me ideas for a book. In 48 hours, the Holy Spirit gave me
    130 ideas for a book. Sixty weeks and 950 hours of work later, I have a complete manuscript.

    The Bible says Im just a filthy rag. Im not a preacher because Im not called and would be unworthy. Im not a teacher because I would have no patience, and Im not a speaker because Im very shy with large groups. Therefore, the printed virgin*. Maybe Im an explainer. I prefer to explain my faults and sins rather than point at others.

    There is a fine line between being judgmental and attempting to explain the truth. I once was told from an old-fashioned fire and brimstone preacher that he did not judge people, but people judged themselves with their actions.

    If U are truly told by the Son of God to give someone a message, U better do it. U are not going to like your life for being disobedient. However, U may temporarily not like your life for being obedient. It is a strange dichotomy in the dilemma of life. We have to not wither but have planted seeds in the good ground of life to withstand the persecution.

    I truly hope those who may feel offended by my humor or Bibles truths . . . will understand that Im speaking from my heart and only want to help, and Im incapable of expressing the right words at the right time in person. Please remember Im in this struggle too. Just because I have written a book . . . does not mean I am exempted from hell. A walk with Jesus and temptation from the devil is a daily battle. I need your prayers. Im a long ways from where I want to be in Christ.

    Larry Malcolm

    After publishing two books in four years...I ran into many obstacles getting this book to the publisher. My computer broke down about ten times and I decided to buy all new equipment. I bought this laptop and it was so difficult for me to adapt. My fingers kept hitting the wrong keys. I was looking up pictures by file number and was taking days to do what I have learned to do in a few minutes. It was quite an adjustment for me. Therefore...this is over a five year book. All three books have one common denominator. A theme of “Flesh versus Spirit”. I have a saying that is “It is not what U say...but how U say it”. People say the funniest things on elevators and in line at the convenient store. I believe all of us have similar situations on a daily basis but do nothing with the information. I remember all of my wives (2) asking me what I was going to do with these boxes of junk. I always said that I was going to write a movie. I decided to learn screen play and soon realized that I did not have the years or connections to actually see the movie on the big screen. So in 2012...I started writing notes for the first book that published in 2014. I started the second book as soon as I finished the first and published it in 2016. Here we are in 2021 with book III. I have 1,200 hours in it and typed 770 pages. Okay...I got a tiny bit long-winded. I am shooting for 370 pages for this book. I have been trimming it for a month. Enjoy, Larry Malcolm, Author
