Introduction to my book: The View From Where I Stand

First of all, let's get the record straight. There is no arrogance here. I am a nobody. This is not an easy book to write. The words come pouring out of me faster than I can stop them. I write because I can't not write. I am convinced beyond a doubt that someone has to hear what I have to say. I have known it for a while. Telling this story gets rid of that knawing feeling inside of me and I want to get rid of that feeling. So I have to believe that it is meant to be. I have worried about offending a few by telling my story but the knowledge that a great many more will be helped rather than offended pushes me on.

I feel like I am in the middle of something. The beginning is over and I can't see the end. I am in the middle. The window of opportunity is short here in the middle. It is imperative that I get these words, these thoughts, these revelations down before it is too late. I want you to read my story. Some of you may be tempted to stop reading because you think my story is too "religious". If you will just keep reading you will find that it is far from that. Some of you may want to stop reading because you do not agree with me or you take offense to some of the things I say. I mean no offense. And you do not have to agree with me. This is just my story. My honest story.
