Breaking the chains of our never-ending struggle for freedom, equality and financial acceptance in America.
I am writing this book because I want to discuss a piece of American/World History about World War II that no one has thoroughly examined. I am not a historical revisionist, nor am I a member of the American right-wing. I am neither a supporter in no shape or form of fascist ideology either. I just want to take a closer look at a piece of World War II history that has not been looked at very much by mainstream historians.
This was written by me as an introspective blessing, lesson, and understandings that I have grown to embody. It is written with the perspectives in mind, meant to inspire growth. These works contain gems I have gathered from my teenage self that I wish I would have known as a youth. These messages also apply to my adult self and appear to have been timeless in my life. I didn't write this as personal therapy but to assist anyone who may need it. Each poem was written with the understanding that to make it from poverty, you can feel like you are climbing out of an endless hole, especially as a kid who is still trying to understand what life is about. This was written with the thought to preserve that hope when it is hard; you have to be willing and keep the faith. I understand I do not have all the answers, and everything I say will always because I'm just figuring out. I'm human like everyone else. I just try to remember it's okay to be human. I just hope we all grow to understand it is okay to embrace your imperfections, work on your flaws, and celebrate growth throughout the process. I hope some will Identify and connect this is. I hope this pushes you to keep going regardless of age, race, creed, color, orientation, or any other characteristic of life. This is why I am destined by determination. I understand and will only be able to succeed, but the Lords will or whatever higher power you believe. I am not a religious person, but I am spiritual, and I understand the power of faith. You will wind up stagnant without some sort of belief system. I am also aware that it is up to us to be willing to grow. It is rather easy to stunt your growth in some situations. There's a bunch of factors that play a part that people don't pay attention to. A lot of things can happen that people don't necessarily notice or understand. In life, you should always be learning. If you're not learning, you're not living.
As you read this publication, many of you, like myself, won't realize the purpose or value and why I take pictures of me, my children, and grandchildren. It is because I almost died a year ago, at least the old me did because of a severe COVID-19 experience. It dawned on me after Father God was so gracious to spare my life how little value I gave to living and the lives of my family members. So, I am not taking pictures out of vanity but gratitude for how miraculously God has healed me (spiritually, emotionally, and physically). I was spared to see my 2nd grandchild's birth, Prince Marcus Joshua. My 30-year-old (Nobleman Bryson Adolphus) made it through horrendous drug addiction and is getting sober today. My daughter, a soldier for righteousness and faith Airedes (the Goddess), became and still is that soldier for Father God. God bridged the gap between me and my oldest son King Michael Jason (one who is like God), after 18 years of distancing. My true best friends are still my best friends today. I came to realize through this experience how much my siblings love me. Lastly, how many lives I've touched without knowing through ministering God's Word with a wonderful Man of God. I could go on. God is amazing in what He blessed me to experience and through what was viewed as the worst but yet, the most miraculous life-changing event. This publication shares a small piece of how I became "Pastor Amazing Grace," and I am beyond grateful. Pastor A. G. Graves
This is a book from the viewpoint of a rational Christian. It gives insight to the normalcies of what rational thinking should be and decisions that should be made. By measuring them against all of the obviously wrong decisions and choices made by those connected with the former administration. It is an account through the eyes of normal people with a measure of common sense and a measure of wisdom to place their faith in God and not man. It highlights the knowledge of mankind and how they lean more to their own knowledge and not God's wisdom, leading to hurt, pain, and the breakdown of society. It also highlights the resiliency of a Christian faith displayed by a country standing strong and making right a bad decision made four years prior proving that God is still in control.
This book is a small compilation, showing various sides of Mee.It is my first published book, showing different times in my life and different obstacles that I overcame. I am expressing myself through the art form of poetry. My mother always says that I "dance to the beat of my own drum." I pride myself on being my own person and being different from the rest. I work every day on getting to know and love Mee better.I am reminded of a saying that I was taught by my mother from a very young age. The more I say it, the more I believe it to be true:"Never follow the crowd, look where the millions stop. You will always find the crowd at the base. There is always room at the top." Author unknown.

You have been my greatest teacher and the gift of God has been my greatest reward.

So, I say thank you, God, because You have been the solidarity and confidence that my life needs and requires.
Boot camp is where the novice civilian goes to train for the battles ahead. Believers and even those who are not sure what they believe to the fullest need training for living life. Among other things, boot camp teaches discipline. Every soldier needs it to run the course and fight the battle. We are referred to as soldiers in 2 Timothy 2:3, admonishing us to "endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ." It is my prayer that this book will help you endure and give you the hope you need to keep going. Giving up on life is not an option for the one who wants the prize. 101 Ways to Keep Going, When the Going Gets Tough is spiritual boot camp. Its design is to toughen you up so that the battles of life will not defeat you.
First and foremost, I must pay homage to Marimba Ani who I gained insight from concerning the title of her book titled, "Yorugu" which means Pale Fox. One must do their own investigation into the Dogon African religion to understand "The Pale Fox." Many Black men are going to see themselves in many chapters within this novel and some will be in denial, and this is the same for Whites. The two main characters are 100% fictional, however, all mind-states that the main character Dru transforms into are all 100% non-fiction. The mind-states are my own life experiences and testimonies and observations that I received from other Black men. There are many Blacks that will probably be enraged that I took such serious matters that happen daily within the African American population and turned these matters into a mythological story (urban) and I am not surprised nor am I concerned. No one is ever-challenging urban novelists that write deadly literature that does nothing but keep Black men into a circular dimension. This novel is geared to cause a thought disturbance in certain Black males, particularly Black young men, born in 2000 or later to take a clear look at themselves and the world around them.
Dear God, You are the One that made this day possible. Thank You for trusting me to put words together to make a book. You have made me a part of history because I'm the first author in my family. God, I always wonder why You love me so much. God, please take full control of my story and make a melody with it. I pray that those that read will be blessed with the thoughts in my head. I'm not perfect, but through You, all is well. Thank You for making this book a bestseller.

Have you ever been in a place where the light seems to have been dimmed? Have you ever been in a place in life where you can't see the light of day? You felt like God has left you in a dark room and expect you to find a way to escape on your strength and wisdom. You're crying out to God, asking Him the question, "God! Where are you?" I want you to know that you are not alone. As Christians, whether we admit it or not, we have all been there. In this Part 1 Series of God Take This Cup Away From Me, I will share my testimony of how God's grace and mercy allowed me to triumph over those things that the devil thought would kill me. My prayer is that you will realize that, like a good Father, God will not destroy you. However, He will allow things to take place in our lives to mold us into vessels of honor to be used for His glory. Therefore, you must trust the process, be patient, and allow the Holy Spirit to be the light to guide you into the perfect plan of God. Psalm 119:105, Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. When you have reached the point that you can't handle one more trial or failure, remember 1 Corinthians 10:13, No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful, He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. The Bible talks about the three Hebrew boys and how God allowed them to be put in the fiery furnace. Even though they were put in the furnace, God didn't allow them to be consumed. The fire will come into your life, and you will have to experience the heat. Just know that God will be in the fire with you. When you help a child learn to walk or ride a bike, you will hold them. There will come a time when you will let them go. They may fall until they catch on, but they will get up and try again. Often, this is how the lessons of life will be. We may fall, but God expects us to get back up and try again. There have been times in my life that I made decisions that caused me to not only fail God but fail people that believed and trusted in me. Praise God for His awesome mercy and grace that allows us new opportunities every day. Follow me on my journey of going through the fire and coming out not smelling like smoke.
I am writing this book to address several issues that the United States citizens should be concerned about. But unfortunately, the American people have become nothing but sheep to the slaughter of the machine that will lead us off the cliff and lead us into the so-called New World order.By writing this book, I hope to wake up the American people and to open their eyes and let them see what is going on around them in the United States and around the world.I do not think that this will change anything overnight, especially when the American people have become slaves to the regime that is starting to rule with the iron fist over an entire population.I do not care what the color of your skin is; I do not care by what name you call God; all I want to do is to give the last warning to humanity before it is too late.I also feel that I am an American; therefore, I have American responsibilities.
The five irrevocable KEYS that one must have in order to excel in whatever one do in life are: Excellence Stewardship Servanthood Faithfulness Accountability"If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets with excellence even as a Michelangelo painted, Beethoven composed great music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, ''Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well." (Martin Luther King Jr.)As the above sayings of Martin Luther King Jr. goes, whatsoever a man is called to, he or she must excel in it, and must not do it as one of those things. He or she must do it with the spirit of excellence. God wants us to excel in whatever we do as ministers of God. Every one called to work in the house of God is considered as a minister of God; whether you are called into the five-fold ministry or into the ministry of helps, and whatever you are doing as a child of God, consider that thing as a ministry. God has given them to you to do, and God wants you to excel.1 Corinthians 4:1-2 (NKJV)1 Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. 2 Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful. Excellence is what God is expecting from each and every one of His Ministers concerning what He has entrusted into their hands. Whatever you have was given to you by God, whether work, family, business, education, ministry, etc. And He expects you to excel in them.1 Corinthians 14:12 (NKJV)12 Even so you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, let it be for the edification of the church that you seek to excel. From the above scripture, God is telling us to seek after excellence. Excellence should be our standard, nothing less, nothing more. When you seek to excel, that means you are striving to bring out that Godly nature that is in you. Every child of God has the ability to excel in whatever he or she is doing.There are five major keys to excellence, and that is what this book is all about, and the five keys are dealt with in the subsequent chapters.

FINALLY, AT LAST. . . Occurring at the end!! The title speaks for itself, removing doubt, embracing change, and going with it!! Whatever happens, happens!! Whatever will be, will be!! But we miss every chance that we don't take. We miss the mark every time when we don't attempt!! Finally, here I am ready to take the chance and embrace writing!! Writing began many years ago, the understanding that writing takes my mind off of many different avenues of the world. Writing allows me the opportunity to express myself with words, instead of actions. I am thankful for the gift!! Often told, "You have what it takes." But there's something about honestly believing, Girl, yes you do!!!
Let''s play a little game of whose heart gets broken first. From the love of one to the love of many, all hearts are involved. In true form, love can be beautiful, love can be harsh, love can become lonesome and unforgiving. The journey through one''s heart is a very long one and time-consuming. Will you have the time to travel and feel what others may feel?Love is never boastful or prideful. Love should be one on one, one at a time, and not a lot of people at once. You may want to get on that merry go round of confusion and get off at what you may think is a safe stop and find yourself dealing with being in the dark about love. There are many relationships among men and women, women and women, men and men. A few are not condoned but love is love and you cannot help who you love.This magical ride is not for the faint of heart but, for those who have gone through the struggle of trying to keep a love and keep a relationship spicy. There is a dark side to love especially when a heart has been broken. The thoughts of the other person can become sinister, and usually, there is no turning back from it. Time to go to the other side of a heart that is broken. Can it be mended? It''s up to the people involved. Let the *insider* tell the story of love, lust, heartbreak, and mind death from the alter ego point of view. What''s true? What''s fiction?It''s time to come out on the other side.
