This book is a collection of poems and short stories of how the writings came about, stories of the younger years growing up somewhat a rebel, confused about all the rules of the Amish Mennonite churches I attended, and about what worldly meant. I began writing between my two cancer operations. I had just written my thirty-third piece called "Lost Jesus" and thought, Jesus died on the cross around the age of thirty-three. I titled my book not knowing what was to come. My writing began to broaden into other subjects of this book is in about a five-year span and a lot of things changed.

I always thought my life was different from others but finding out we are the same. So, if just one person is touched by something I have written, it was worth it. My prayer to all that read my writings is that you will be encouraged to serve the Lord, because sometimes he may be all you have.

But rest assured, Jesus is all you'll ever need.
