Part I, Day 32, “Searching for Higher Ground”
“PEAKS AND VALLEYS OF LIFE”
“Do not despair; the answer is there.
Walk the valleys with an eye on the peaks. There is growth in the valley, supported by the streams from the peaks.
The valley is long, and the peaks are high.
Enjoy the valley while you are there, keeping an awareness to all surrounding you. The path to the peaks will be revealed without looking for it.
Climb the path to the peak with a restful watch of the long valley already traversed.
High and difficult is the peak, but glorious is the summit.
Tranquility of mind, body, and soul is assured as the gaze from the summit encompasses the whole achieved.
Do not despair; the answer is there among the peaks and valleys of life.”
Part II, Day 73, “Love Endures from Heavenly Realms to Planet Earth”
“HOW MUCH DO I LOVE THEE?
LET ME SHOW YOU THE WAYS”
“If you look at the glistening water of the lakes and oceans, you will see the ripples and the waves as they sparkle in the light. The countless ripples and waves show you my unending love.
If you look at the trees whose leaves are too many to count, you can see how much my heart yearns for you.
If you look at the birds on wing and listen to their songs, they will tell you throughout the day of my joy in loving you.
As you walk upon this earth, there are many steps you take each day before you slumber through the night. There is the assurance of the ground beneath each step you have taken. I assure you that my love is as solid as the planet beneath your feet.
With every breath you take while upon this earth, you breathe life into my love.
You will know of my eternal and everlasting love when your spirit no longer dwells in its earthly temple and is heaven-bound. I will be there with you; our love is forever.”

About the Author
It has taken me ten years to put together this book. There were many interruptions along the way that interfered with my progress. First there was life threatening illnesses, bacterial meningitis and encephalitis that put me in a near death state. God saw to it that I received a complete healing. The second thing I endured was going through a dreadful divorce. The third thing was spine surgery. The fourth thing was a hip replacement due to an accident. The fifth thing was colon cancer surgery. During the same ten years, I designed and built my home. Through all that has happened in my life, I became closer to the Lord. I believe that He is the Lord that healeth me and that all things are possible with God.
