Coffee With Angels and Demons
This is a collection of anthologies designed to inspire you. It's a candid look into the world of mental issues. This is a true account that shows how I have learned to balance God, society, angels, and demons into everyday life. Coffee with Angels and Demons spans more than five decades of battling mental illness and learning disabilities. It's how a socially inept person learned to come to terms with mental issues. Too many times we are told we have a demon, unrepentant sin, or some other ridiculous condition, that keeps us under the influence of a devil. We're told we have a curse, that we're not right with God. Society tells you to snap out of it, of course, you can't. They don't understand. It's hard to get help when people can't see what's going on inside you until it's often too late. I will show you how I've come to terms with it and have learned to have balance. I'm never going to be okay, but it is what it is and it can be dealt with. This is how I have.
