WE ALL HAVE A PURPOSE IN THIS LIFE
We live our lives based on our power to determine
RIGHT from WRONG.
This book’s inspiration comes from the Author’s
Life Experiences. I talk about my struggles, questions and worldly influences
that kept me from understanding who God really was. I questioned God’s reality
from childhood into my teen years. How could a loving God let so many bad
things happen. God reveals many miracles that I witnessed first-hand. This
proved God was in full control of things even when I doubted God’s existence.
Readers will identify with my experiences, both good and bad. Then you will see
that God really is the WAY, THE TRUTH and the LIFE. It will be up to you to
decide – IS THERE A GOD? HOW DO YOU KNOW?
SAMPLES FROM BOOK
Chicago was a real challenge, especially because it
was during the time of organized crime. School, the movies, a nearby park and
other places of enjoyment were within three miles of our apartment, so I
usually walked to them.
On one of those walks, late on a Saturday
afternoon, my friends and I were just returning home from a movie we had
thoroughly enjoyed. We’d already parted company, and I was alone as I watched
two men drag a man and woman from an elevated train station. I was in a
position where I could see them, but they couldn’t see me.
I saw their half-hidden guns when they drug the
couple to a car where a third man opened the back door. The two were forced
inside, and I watched as the car drove off………………….
One day, my dad charged into my apartment and
started throwing dishes and knives at me. Fortunately, Sam stopped him and told
his wife, Mary, to call the police. I was taken to a wayward house until a
hearing date was set. I don’t know what went on in front of the judge because I
was kept in a different room. At the end of the hearing, I was escorted into
the courtroom………………….
First, the cannon was released and then the jeep.
Their parachutes opened almost immediately upon exiting the plane. The Sergeant
told us to stand and hold on to the cord above our heads. If we didn’t, we
might fall through the opened back doors
The side door was released, and the first soldier
was told to jump. He hesitated, so the Sergeant gave him a push. In a matter of
seconds, he was out of sight. After that, most of the others didn’t need to be
‘coaxed’…………………………
Two doctors came in to see me the next morning. I
was heavily sedated and don’t remember much that went on during the first
night. They explained my leg was in bad shape, and they would do what they
could to save it. I was told the hole in my leg was packed with ointment, and a
compressed bandage held everything together. Shots and medicine were prescribed
and nurses administered them for my infection and pain………………..
The following year, Chicago set the record for the
coldest day in our history. The temperature dropped to 26 below zero with a 30
MPH wind. The ten o’clock evening news said that if we went outside and poured
water from a glass at arm’s length, it would be ice by the time it hit the
ground. I had to try it, so I bundled up and walked out onto our patio. As I
poured the water, I found they were correct…………………………..
The start of events in 1976 changed my family’s
lives and mine in a major way. In my own life, my personal relationship with
God was the biggest change of all. It first began when I responded to a phone
call asking me to allow another company’s top executive (not Motorola) to meet
with me for a long lunch………………
Texas Instruments paid for everything: my air
flight, hotel, rental car, food and any other cost that might come up. Before
saying ‘yes’ or even telling my wife, I told them I would call them the next
day. That’s when I went to my modified basement, and in the utility room, I
began to pray to God for guidance.
I said to Him, “God, if you will help me find a
place where best to raise my family, I will become more involved in church, but
I cannot guarantee to attend every Sunday.”
