Description
A life of abundance is allusive to most all of us, but the abundant life is available to all of us through faith in Jesus Christ; this is an autobiography of a man who changed vocations, yet never gave up his avocation to declare this life altering truth.
This first non-fiction book in the Life and Ramblings of Ron series is my life journey to a sense of peace and meaning for the life that has unfolded for me so far. Mostly, I hope, God's blessings to me for trying to do the "right thing" will be noticed as you read my life story and ramblings. If my life journey can be of help to you in your journey, then this, thankfully, will be more than merely passing on the things near and dear to my heart for my family to remember, adapt, pass on, and celebrate. I will be even more grateful to God to have this small part in sharing His amazing love with my family and the world.
When life gives you lemons make lemonade. I used to kid, "What about limes and grapefruit?" Often feeling guilty that I hadn't made something worthwhile out of the difficulties that came my way, I finally realized that I should stop beating myself up with these supposed failures on my part. I did make lemonade, so to speak; I learned, I persevered, I hung in there, and I did the best I could by the grace of God to whom be all praise and Glory. Amen.
Life is wondrously amazing. Sometimes it is set up so that a person has to let go and let God. When a person can do that life is awesome. However, quite often the foothills of our day to day lives obscure the mountains of blessings God's hand brings into the lives of His children. I still need to pause every once in awhile to appreciate the gifts God has showered upon my life and the people He has so graciously brought into my life. In this spirit of deep gratitude, I eagerly share this autobiography with my children and the world. It is my sincere hope that the hand of God will reach into all our lives in such a way that real peace and joy can return to a world so eager to destroy itself in the name of just cause or moral imparitive. Just in case anyone might be wondering if God really still loves mankind now that we are killing each other off in so many horrific ways even in His Name, I humbly invite him or her to read my life and rambling series which was born from a God fearing perspective and a constant hope for a better future even for this earthly life. Things can be better. The world desperately needs the object of my faith, hope, and love; namely, the Triune God.
Knowing God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked, I sincerely pray that our world can be led to the One that gives life, protects, and sustains it. I of course believe in Jesus as my personal Savior, but I can see how a witness to living a life of faith can transfer to others living by their own faith systems. All of us can and will benefit from living by a generic motto, "Cheer up things could be better." I modify it a little bit because I know God is at work making it better. I have said for years, "There is always hope." Looking back at my life I can see the hand of God in it. I always need to remember that every day; especially, when my life doesn't unfold the way I expect it to. Life is so different for each of us; it can be so unfair. Life is such a precious gift so much more enjoyable in connection with others and the One who gave us that gift. He doesn't want us to kill for Him. We need to be ambassadors for Christ who connect with the lives around us in such a way that they too can know real joy and the peace that goes beyond all comprehension. My only claim to fame is that I am a forgiven and forgiving sinner who wants to be there for other sinners to share a message of hope that can lift us all up. If that can happen through this book, to God be all praise and glory. Amen.
