Heaven Sent
I want to thank you for joining me on this journey through what I refer to in this book as my memory bank. I hope the memories I have unearthed and laid down in writing will in some way bring a smile or tears of happiness to someone who just might need a touch of joy or inspiration in their life. Receiving the blessing of writing from the Lord has made me the man I am today and always have beena child of God.

Now, wouldnt that be heaven sent?
