I was born in New Jersey, in a little city called Burlington. In fact, I was not born in a hospital but in my grandmother's house on St. Mary's Street. Back then many babies were born with family around with sheets, water, etc., Transportation to a hospital was not a first priority, most people had large families and no cars. It was not unusual for a doctor to make home deliveries day or night. My mother was visiting her family, after all there were always three or four girls at home supporting. My grandmother, (who had raised 18 of her own children and 13 were girls) my mother was the number...

My dad and first wife Urisi had five children, Emmalee, Victor, Manfred, Bearl and Wilma. Urisi died. Then he married my mom, Eloise Harshbarger. Then I was born October 14, 1935. Later my brother James was born January 30, 1937. We lived at Milton, West Virginia in Cable County, in the Old Ronk Home place where we have a family cemetery. My grandparents and most of my Aunts and Uncles are buried there. And I will be someday. My daddy was a farmer and blacksmith. If the ground didn't grow it, we didn't have it. We had no car but daddy had a team of horses and a wagon. The very first thing I...

When I asked him if he really wanted to kill me, he said yes, right at that moment I did. I said, "Why didn't you? You had a gun loaded." Listen to what he said. And this is to the glory of God. He said, "When I came around the trailer and saw you... You are real tall and pure white and it scared me and all I could do was run." I said, "You didn't see me, you saw the Angel of The Lord. I told you He would not allow you to harm me." My dad and first wife Urisi had five children, Emmalec, Victor, Manfred, Bearl and Wilma. Urisi died. Then he married my mom, Eloise Harshbarger.

I know that in today's world this is a very provocative question. It is one I thought I had the answer to in my own life at age 42. Most of these 42 years I sang in the choir, took my sons to Sunday School, helped with church functions and prayed. My grandmother Conner; on my mother's side of the house, carried her Bible, went to church and prayed for her children and grand-children faithfully. She had a wonderful voice and often she would sing to us girls "Jesus Loves Me, yes I know for the Bible tells me so." Her Bible was with her on her lap most of the time. I was working at 42 and I felt...

The intention of this book is not only for you the reader to enjoy but also that my life might be hope for those of you that find life difficult in one way or another. Life is like a big puzzle whether you live a short life or a long one. Each event is a piece of that puzzle. Sometimes we may think a piece of that puzzle is missing Not so, eventually that piece will show up. The Lord has a plan for our lives. We can't go through this life and not face problems. Sometimes we get in the way and cause our own problems, but eventually the Lord intervenes and starts pushing the doors open in the...
