Spit Out Your Game is a book of ten stories designed to start conversation with every young girl, every young woman, and every youth. It's aimed at sharing ideas of unforeseen circumstances that are intertwined with their participation, interaction, and decision-making skills, leading to becoming sexually active. Questions are posed after each story to stimulate and encourage clarity as conversation starters. The purpose is to stimulate discussion about all the intricacies of sexual entanglements and all these risk factors embedded. It is simply a cultural disgrace in many parts of the world that many mature women are silently enjoying their hang-ups mentality. They continue to refuse to talk to their young women and girls about sexual entanglements and the obvious results of these choices.Spit Out Your Game shows that girls and women are not monsters who lurk wickedly behind pretty, demure, cutesy bodies all the time while scheming how to trap young boys and men into marriage, or into paying child support. Most females are oblivious and totally unaware of the traumas their bodies will experience on becoming sexually active due to lack of knowledge about their own existence as women living in their biologically assigned bodies.So no more silence. No more secrets. Spit Out Your Game seeks to bring these silent hang-ups out in the open, inside every home where the stormy wind of sexual involvement is presented to any female. The stories are to be discussed lovingly and openly with the intent of creating an understanding of sexual encounters in our young women, no matter what age range marks their jumping-in point of becoming sexually active.

"e;Put your foot back on the cliff and step away from the edge,"e; said on April 4, 2012, by the newest of our attending physicians to my son, Josh. Josh had just told the doctor that he felt like he was on the rim of a cliff, with one foot hanging over the edge. It was obvious Josh's determination to keep fighting was what was hanging on that cliff, teetering all too close to the edge. As the doctor got up to leave Josh's hospital room that day, Josh mustered every bit of energy he had, fought the pain he was feeling in his legs, and stood up to shake the doctor's hand. The doctor's pronouncement gave us all hope that maybe, just maybe, there might be some answers among the myriad of doctors that had paraded through Josh's hospital room.On that day in the little notebook that had become my own daily log regarding Josh's medical condition, I wrote, "e;Thank God for this doctor."e;This is not a story, bit by bit, of detailed medical jargon or descriptions. It is not meant to cast doubt on individual doctors, decisions made or not made, the medical profession, or military hospitals. It is simply a story of courage.Courage, "e;the ability to face danger, difficulty, uncertainty, or pain without being overcome by fear or being deflected from a chosen course of action."e; Bravery.

The title, Through the Eyes of the Eagle, was actually birthed three years prior to the writing of the book. When the author was inspired and compelled to write the story of his life three years later in 2017, his remembrance of a spiritual experience that took place in 2014 would be the stimulus to consider the title. This spiritual experience was an actual visitation and sighting of a golden eagle. This experience became his motivation to choose the title. The title chosen is really a metaphor of sorts and symbolic representation of the author's spiritual eyesight wanting to convey this compelling story as seen through his eyes. When the visitation and sighting took place in August 2014, the author knew there was a higher spiritual connotation to be understood.Yearning for the meaning, the author researched the significance. What the author learns put his compelling story of his life into perspective. He realizes the significance of this sighting was proportionate precisely and relative to what he had been through in his life and what he had learned from a higher perspective. What he learned and already understood were the specifics of spiritual messages that the eagle is trying to convey when one is visited by one.Specifically, when the eagle appears, one is to be fully aware, to be courageous, and to stretch one's limits. Look at things from a new and higher perspective, and know that the future holds possibilities that one may not be able to see. Additionally, with respect to its symbolism and powers, the eagle conveys powers and messages of the spirit. It is man's connection to the divine. In this sighting, the author learns and understands that the eagle bestows freedom and courage to look ahead, and the lesson of the sighting is that one must have the courage to relinquish the state of comfortable habits and beliefs to soar into unknown realms and realities. On that particular day of his life, it seemed to the author that the lessons learned summed up his entire life story.After this magnificent experience, friends, with whom he had shared the spiritual experience of the eagle sighting with, gave him the name Eagle because of his spiritual eyesight and its accuracy. In their opinion, his eyesight was as impeccable as the eyesight of an eagle. The name given stuck and became a profound inspiration to the author to eventually convey this compelling and inspirational story as seen through his eyes, the eyes of the eagle.

At times, this Christian journey can appear to be a bit burdensome and tedious. However, this book can make this journey worthwhile and a little easier.We must boldly approach the throne of God to seek his face and not his hand. As my faith continues to grow in God, I am learning that developing a deeper and deeper relationship with him is what he desires. To get to this level of intimacy with him, we must go through a school of testing and suffering.During trials and tribulations, character, faith, trust, endurance, and perseverance are produced to establish, settle, and strengthen us. God has placed something inside of each of us that we must give birth to. He wants to make sure that he can entrust us with his time, gifts, talents, and everything else that he has given to us. I admit that God's discipline may seem to be painful at the time, but it will yield the peaceable fruit of righteousness (Heb. 12:11). I am learning that it is divine to ask God to humble you daily. Don't wait to be humbled by him because of being stubborn or disobedient. He will do the exalting.It is my prayer that as God continues to look at each of us, he will begin seeing more and more of the image of his dear Son, Jesus Christ. May we all come completely back to the heart of worship and realize that it is all about God. He is worthy of all honor, glory, and praise! Hallelujah! He reigns! Amen.

This book is designed to represent the thought process of an independent, middle-class voter. After a lifetime of experience in a wide range of occupations, the author hopes to express opinions using humor and insight by adding a variety of personal-interest vignettes that are presented as commentary. Independents will have a significant impact on the 2020 elections. The reasons why I voted for Donald Trump were articulated in detail and were based on my analysis of what an average, hardworking American, Middle Class Independent Voter felt about the Political, Cultural, and Economic conditions that existed at the onset of the 2016 Presidential Election. Donald Trump appeared on the scene at the precise time he was needed. The Middle Class was hurting financially and their dreams for a better life had been ignored by both parties for decades. Spending so many years working dead end jobs or even two jobs barely allowed us to keep our heads above water. The politically correct culture wars drained our strength and tested our patience. The political parties that we had trusted were, elitist, disappointing and arrogant which is why we became Independent voters! Donald Trump instinctively knew we were ripe for the picking. We instinctively knew that he was the right one to pick. And we did!

We all have our dreams. We all want to be someone or something special in our lives.In this book, you will read about a small-town boy who wanted nothing more than to become a stock car driver and, as a fifteen-year-old teenager, became one. I hope you will enjoy this book.
