Guest of the Cannibals is a true story my father told me about his encounter with cannibals while on a trip with his family in the early 1930s. He is the chief character in the play. Some names, characters, and places have been changed to protect the privacy of the individuals in the story. My father had five wives. He was a blacksmith by trade. He made guns, knives, machetes, crafts, etcetera. The nature of his trade involved traveling by foot from place to place throughout Nigeria in search of greener pastures. He did this with flair and with a lot of hard work and dedication to his trade and family. He is extremely industrious but at the same time very impatient. He works very hard, and is able to garner enough money to get the prestigious "e;ozo title"e; in 1928; widely considered the highest title in the whole of Igbo land. He has his struggles. He is desperate to maintain his new found status and at the same time feed his enormous family. Market for his craft is dismal. He runs into a customer who suggests he moves to reboot his trade. He takes the customer up on this offer and sets off with his wives and children. They move from village to village, traveling for days. First, he settles in a small town where he finds some success. There, he runs into another man who tells him of a remote place far away with even greener pastures. He decides to move again to this place against the advice of his family. This decision almost cost him his life and his family. He ignores several signs on the way to this place including the unique almost vampire-like shaped black stained teeth of the people on the way to this new place. He ends up becoming the guest of the cannibals.

In all ages, faith has provided a backbone and common entity connection for the masses. Faith need not tear people apart because it is a personal journey. Where three such travelers meet in good faith, Jesus is there. Societal norms have shifted away from the Bible and active faith, the type that actually works. It is more important than ever to bless our children and give them a charge to carry out their faith in life. Our families depend upon the government to raise our children in hope, and that is not being done. There is a deliberate effort to undermine faith in the USA for the purpose of weakening those in opposition to worldly plans. Simply understanding the Hippocratic Oath as to Apollyon the devil can be a game changer. Nearly every law passed these days is linked to a medical community that harms all day long and gives it oath to the devil. Rule of law is imposed when the expected outcome is in opposition to the Constitution. We must be wise as wolves to navigate it and yet remember the free-flowing faith that Jesus wants us to own all our days so we can commune with Him daily and in times of need. Our nation will fall to tyranny from within if we do not charge our children with keeping this a country under God. Every walk of life is affected. How would the LBGTQ community view their Democrat rescuers if they learned they were made gay (and Democrat) after it was found in a lab that a certain vitamin deficiency made rats homosexual, and the science was applied to school lunch menus and after school snacks? Would they still be useful digits suffering Stockholm Syndrome or would they rise against this maltreatment with anger at the loss of natural life and demand reparation and resignations? Fathers, mothers or grandparents if neither of the former are there, lay hands on the child and bless them, command them to do well by the Lord. Command them to live long and multiply and prosper and be a light for the world.

Man is less significant than he thinks he is and, at the same time, more important than he can possibly imagine. Alchemy is the process of changing the ordinary into something extraordinary. The purpose of mortality or human existence has nothing to do with the accumulation of "things" that rust and deteriorate and everything to do with the acquisition of something that transcends the ordinary and that endures. Man's journey begins in his instinctual mind, develops in his intellectual mind, and evolves to his spiritual mind as each of us exchange potentials for actuals. Alchemy of the Human Experience is about exchanging man's human nature for his divine nature. This life is the cocoon of the gods.

Bocetos de una memoria elocuente, es una obra que consta de diez cuentos cortos que son una suerte de sintesis de lo que el autor ha vivido a traves de los anos. Inspirados en hechos reales, los cuentos, que son variados en tematica y ambientacion, relatan la historia y expresan las reflexiones mas sentidas de lo que ha sido la vida del autor. Se eligio la palabra "bocetos", en el titulo, pues no estan culminados: cada uno hara vida en cada cuento leido, y podra relacionarlo con la vida propia. Son historias aun por contar, si se quiere. No estan intrinsecamente relacionados entre si, ni tampoco siguen algun orden en especifico. Sin embargo, todos existen en una misma linea temporal, acaso mas realista que ficticia. La patria, el amor, el proposito, la jerarquia que rige la realidad son temas recurrentes en las obras, al igual que las vicisitudes de la vida y el como surgir de ellas

This saga is the expression of me understanding myself, also to my children so they can reconcile the persona and actions of the father. To Boo, my wife, and close friends who watched helplessly as I imploded. I used all my God-given talents to become wealthy then burned it to the ground before I turned forty-five, and I took them with me. Untouchable to touching nothing. Ironically one of my true passions is studying religion, history, and philosophy. Then I went and tried to twist it with my big-ass head and fell headfirst into my own trap. As my own captive alone, I had major time on my hands to reflect. Remorse wasn't good enough; I had to make amends not for them but for me. Every word I had ever read now had a new deeper meaning, mixed in with a lot of dogma. A dramatic divine disclosure followed. I clearly saw all I have ever done, and clarity filled in the motive. I cried alone for months. The revelation of how I slowly gave in to a dark abyss made me hang my head low. So many times and ways I could have stopped and just didn't. My brilliance was going to ride the storm out, one of my gifts. It was a TKO first second of the first round, and I had the pleasure of seeing it come. I did not believe anything could stop me in my tracks, but I could. It was not like I had to give up something to begin again. I had nothing left; that part was easy. I gave into something bigger than me after hurting all I knew, with me being hurt the most. I knew I was not a singular but part of a whole, and from now on, I would help the idea instead of causing destruction in my wake. In so doing, I embarked on a mission to rediscover truth then live it no matter where it led. This is that idea written down. It is all the little things we are capable of. Now I can't stop, so there will always be more to come. Peace.

Grace and Mercy is a story which both personifies and exemplifies exactly what the word insanity means--an act or action of continuously repeating a nonproductive action over and over, again and again, expecting a productive result or outcome. As our story opens, we discover a young male child in the early stage of adolescence who succumbs to peer pressure and starts to experiment with mind- and mood-altering substances. As his story progresses, he does too throughout the varying stages of adolescence. He graduates high school and soon afterward volunteers into the military. After serving three years in active duty, he receives an honorable discharge. Back at home, however, he becomes unsure of himself as he experiences the responsibility of trying to hold down a job. He has readjustment issues as he transitions back into civilian life. While struggling to cope, he also questions his identity; was he still that teenager or an adult returning home? In his quest to find the answer, he turns to alcohol. But as matters start worsening, like missing work, always short on cash and low on gas, instead of recognizing alcohol as the problem and not the solution, he continuously drinks over and over, repeatedly getting intoxicated and still expecting a new and different result or outcome. What happens next? Be informed, and read the story!

Butterfly Wars is about the destructive nature of post-traumatic stress disorder over time. In a one-year reflective journal, the narrator tells the first-person account of the development and fragility of his character, which is then subjected to provocative challenges that shatter expectations, reducing one to chronic depression. The net result overtime is low self-esteem, with personal value only credited to experiences outside of himself. The challenges are glimpses at the destructive nature of fundamentalism, the skewed perception in accepting responsibility when one is too young, the crushing weight of trusting others, and progressing to the ultimate in humiliation. The account is about failed efforts to be responsible for taking care of oneself and chronic isolation. Failure is the inability to see true value, when self-worth is not deemed possible. He wears blinders when surrounded by high self-achievement. The first step in recovery is the late life experiencing of one significant other. The book is a storyline that concludes with the realization of a beginning.
