Town and Country Childhood begins in the early 1960s in a small town in Southwest Iowa. Growing up in the '60s was not an easy task. My dad owned several gas stations before taking over my uncle's bar, Town and Country Tavern, after his death. The death of my grandpa, my uncle, the Vietnam War, the assassinations of President Kennedy and Reverend Martin Luther King, and the riots made me question longevity.If life was going to be short, live it to the fullest regardless of the cost. Breaking the rules was considered a right, and nothing was going to stop me. Growing up in the tavern allowed me to become friends with my dad's friends who survived the forties and World War II. I thought drinking and other bad habits were a way to have fun, but I learned too late that they were coping mechanisms that eventually destroyed you. Eventually, it all caught up.

Look through the Mirror: Change Your Perspective to Change Your Life is a beautiful book with a unique perspective focused on the fundamentals of mastering your mind by positive thinking, visualization, the power of positive self-talk, and observing your thoughts so you can choose your thoughts so you can positively change your life. This book is about how to go within yourself to conquer mental and emotional challenges that everyone deals with in life so that people can feel the love, happiness, and peace within themselves. The reason why it's so important to conquer those mental and emotional challenges is so that people realize for themselves how special and gifted they are to the point where they can do anything they put their mind to and have anything that they desire to have.Look through the mirror is also based on having faith and believing in yourself in all aspects to help yourself throughout your life to conquer all personal challenges and any obstacle(s) that life throws your way. You are much more powerful than you think, you are the spirit of God expressing yourself through the vessel you are in. It's a matter of realizing that the spirit of God flows all throughout your body. The first key takeaway is realizing that if you can see the vision you desire to bring it into your reality with your imagination, then you can do it and bring it into your reality. Another key takeaway is the realization that everything in life happens for you and nothing is happening to you.Jovan shares multiple techniques of how to heal all internal pain by detaching, forgiving, and letting go, rather than holding on to negative thought patterns and emotions. Jovan also will share with you how to overcome obstacles like anxiety, depression, fear, anger, overthinking, low self-esteem, and self-judgment. To free the spirit of the God within you, it is important to set your mind, heart, and soul free of all pain and negativity so you can be in tune with the spirit of God within yourself.

Although only still in high school, Kyle Phelps had found love in Valerie Brickly that many others search an entire lifetime for. He knew that he would do anything to protect her, including kill for her, and that is exactly what he did. Valerie had been raped by a man Kyle knew all too well. Kyle's best friend had a history of womanizing but had never taken it to this extreme before. It took one small squeeze and one bullet to put the animal down. More murders and crimes begin to arise in Kyle's town. The evidence in these crimes point directly to Kyle's involvement, but he has no recollection of having a hand in any of them. The time frames of these crimes pinpoint moments of blankness in Kyle's mind. He can't recall committing such crimes, but on the other hand, he can't remember what he was doing at the time of these crimes. Kyle finds himself drifting further and further from reality as his brain tries to ponder how he could not recall a single moment of any of the crimes he allegedly committed. He realizes that his mind only becomes clear when he is with Valerie. As the police close in on Kyle, he finds that he is on the run for his life, and only his love can save him, but how willing is Valerie to forgive him for the evil that he unleashed on the world?

Have the grace to live righteously.For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (Ephesians 2:10)When you answer the calling to step out of the traditional role of church membership to serve beyond the walls of a physical structure, it is because you understand that church is not the only way to serve people directly. As God sends you out to minister to His people, He will equip you with what you need on the journey to live as Christ Jesus and His disciples did. Don't let fear hold you in bondage from answering His call. He has already prepared you.

As I wrote some of the stories for this book, I shared them with my brother, requesting that he fill in my memory blanks and verify some of the details.

I believe the Bible is no use to us unless we learn to apply it correctly and directly to our day-to-day life and progress. People will fail you because we are only humans who are in need of a Savior. However, God's applied word will never fail you, especially during tough times.I believe that the best way to apply God's word is to study it every day. Get into a Bible-believing church and spend time around Bible-believing Christians. Have a regular prayer life alone where you tell God how great He is by praising Him. Next, thank Him daily for all the things He has done for you. Then, lastly, ask Him for what you need in the name of Jesus. Thank Him for providing what you need. Memorize relevant biblical scriptures and recite those scriptures while you are praying. Doing this will help build your relationship with God. Place your faith only in Christ and Him crucified and Him alone.Your prayers should always agree with what the Bible says God wants for you. The more of the Bible you know, the better relationship you will have with God who wants to bless you so that you can be a blessing to others. Do not spend much time with anyone who says the opposite.Did you know that you can thank God all day? While you are standing in line or while you are at a red light or even if you are waiting for the bus. Thank God in the name of Jesus in your spare time and in your planned time.Doing this will create an atmosphere of praise inside you. It will help keep you out of trouble and prepare you for when you open the Bible for your time with God.Twitter: @samuelwritesInstagram: @samuelwrites

On December 3, 1996, at 4:10 pm, Judge Michael Lyon of the District Court of Weber County, State of Utah, sent a man to prison for a crime committed and confessed to by another man. Prior to imposing the final sentence, Judge Lyon made the following remarks: "e;I don't know that there is a more difficult case where a judge does more soul searching in a case where a person staunchly denies culpability and at every turn in the system pleads his innocence. We know that there are cases where people are punished for crimes they didn't do. It would just be utterly repugnant for me to think that I could send a man to prison for a crime that he did not commit... I only wish I could look inside your heart. I can't... And the only thing I can do today is do what I think is the right thing to do. And I don't know what's right..., and so I'm just doing the best that I can."e; His best sent an innocent man to prison for five years, placed him on a state sex offender registry for ten years, and was a life sentence of hatred and abuse because of a fabricated label and conviction. Innocence Beyond the Glass House-A Story of Injustice and the Final Battle for Freedom is the beginning and ending of the story. It's the truth about how one innocent man suffered then lived to tell the tale. It's a book about rebirth and trying to find peace and discovery that came at great cost. It's a look at the criminal justice system at its worst and shows how Lady Justice is not only blind but habitually deaf and dumb. This work is about survival, self-reflection, the indomitable human soul, and about love then hate, friends then enemies, acceptance followed by complete rejection from every segment of humanity, while exhibiting unparalleled endurance and hope and confidence in divine beings, which gave the author the capacity to abide lifelong suffering.
