“Wish I'D Known . . . .: Nuggets Of Wisdom Learned Along The Journey”

Wish I'd Known . . . . Nuggets of Wisdom Learned Along the Journey began to take shape as the author recalled the vicissitudes of life itself. "In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps" (Prov. 16:9 - NIV). His life's experiences and career choices have involved the disciplines of fine arts, mental health, criminal justice, higher education academia, parenting, ethics and spirituality. He has experienced a magnificently blessed existence, but not without numerous unforeseen difficulties. His "ramblings" (he calls them 'entries', not 'chapters') may serve as a primer for others who desire to experience 'the good life'. The entries are not a cookbook for all the self-help needs we experience. Rather, they remind the reader of the wisdom and importance of "carpe diem', making the most of each day that God has granted! "What is your life?.... A mist that appears for a little time then vanishes. . . . Say, 'If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.'" (James 4:14-15 - ESV) While the author writes from a Judeo-Christian perspective, even the agnostic or atheist will appreciate these timeless truths regarding everyday living! "Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand." (Prov. 19:21 - MSG).
