Book Description
Old sayings, idioms and synonyms are as Americana as apple pie. They are a part of our history and culture. "My Grandma's Old Sayings from A to Z and More" is a collection of over 800 old sayings and their meanings, that took the author five years to collect. Growing up in a small southern town in the 1950s and 60s, old sayings were a way of communicating. Although, times were hard, people didn't complain. It was a time when people said what they meant and meant what they said. They loved their neighbors. When a neighboring family hurt, all families hurt. When ask how things were going, the answer was always "fair to middling". When they parted ways at the end of the day, it was always "I'll see you tomorrow if the good Lord's willing and the creek don't rise". The author's grandma was a God-fearing woman who was full of joy. She loved to talk and old sayings were part of her everyday conversations. She had a saying for every situation, for good times and bad times. The "And More" at the end of the book is food for thought. There are fun words and phrases, do's and don'ts, sayings for good luck, sayings for bad luck, superstitions and little words with big meanings. Also, learn how people loved old sayings using body parts. Now, you can join the conversation and have fun! Remember the old saying, "to make an omelet, you'll have to crack some eggs."

Book Description
Faith over Fate "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me" (Phil. 4:13). scripture played a pivotal role in my life. When I was attacked by kidney disease, degenerative spine disease, blood disorder, sleeping sickness, and several kinds of cancer; when my physical strength failed, my faith strength remained (stayed). I learned how to live well in a sick body. I would always answer when asked how I was doing with "I'm just a fine and a dandy." Romans 4:17 says, "Speaking those things that be not as though they were, and they will appear [emphasis] mine beloved." It is not enough to know about God and to live a life of deliverance in a world of destruction. You must know God in all his might. My Faith Journey is coming soon; be on the lookout for it. I pray that it will enlighten, encourage, and empower you to press onward.

Lonely Lacey Garrett leads a quiet life in Virginia as the office manager of a mining company. New foreman Sam Butler takes her on a whirlwind courtship that leads to marriage. But all is not as it seems, and Lacey discovers shocking secrets hidden in their attic. Just when she begins to question Sam's true identity, Lacey's secure world quickly unravels. In disgrace, Lacey escapes her humdrum existence in search of a new life. On her journey of self-discovery, Lacey, an avid movie buff, searches for the home of favorite actor, Chant Winslow, an easy-going, motorcycle-riding, Tennessee farm owner who lives far from the glitz of Hollywood. A freak accident intertwines Lacey and Chant's lives, and she eventually becomes his personal assistant. Lacey falls in love with Chant, despite his involvement with gorgeous supermodel, Jillian Hathaway, who is determined to hold onto her man. Soon, common enemies form an unholy alliance in their plot to destroy Lacey. A misunderstanding forces would-be lovers apart, but a reunion in New Orleans finally consummates their relationship, only to find danger lurking in the shadows. In the thrilling climax, Lacey must decide whether she will realize her "deepest" wishes of living out her true passions or if her past will ruin her heart's desire.
