What the author is attempting to do is provide new information about the Creator, life, the universe, and the purpose of humanity as it relates to what the Almighty has revealed to mankind. It is the intent of the author to offer new alternatives and explanations of life to give new insight as to man's role for being in existence on the planet earth and in the universe. It offers the opportunity to explore and come to terms with this information so mankind can be enlightened to a new faith. The material in this book allows man to understand that there is no reward or punishment for coming to terms with what the Creator has revealed to mankind, to take away the fear of a hell and give a sense of immortality in lieu of a heavenly paradise. Nevertheless, this book will show mankind something different about man's creation and the purpose of his creation. It's a matter of life before birth (reincarnation). Have you ever thought of the possibility that there is life before life? Many people throughout the ages have questioned the possibility of life after death, but never of life before birth. I know of only one person who had some connection with the possibility of life before birth. Me. Edward Cayce, who died in 1945, recorded some accounts of his efforts to recall the lives of people in their spiritual past. He provided case studies dealing with his ability to read past histories of people's past lives but was not able to prove or disprove his abilities. But suppose we were to think in terms of having an existence before we were born. We have explored the prominent thought of life after death to a point of scientific examination and experimentation.

How do you see me from Inside Out? HE sees me as Beautiful!Im on a Journey called Life. I have been through a lot on this Journey. Even having a near-Death experience in March of 2009, when I fell and knew I could have died instantly. I told God, not asked HIM, "God, if you want me to come home, I am ready, but if you still have work for me to do, I am willing to stay." I guess I still have work to do because I am still here. It has not been easy, and some days I wished I would have gone Home to be with HIM and my Mother and daughter and all my pets. I know they are all in Heaven, and I will see them again someday. For now, I am working toward all the Promises and the Destiny that He has for me. Love, Margene.

My book tells different parts of things that occurred during my life. Some things are interpreted and other things are just thoughts. I guess you would say I have a variety of different situations, which would range from fiction, nonfiction, fantasies that I daydreamed about or imagined could happen one day. I use different things in my poems to describe how my life is and was, some are happy and some are unhappy. There are several parts of my poems that in some way describe my feelings of when my mother passed away. I also included my experiences of when I lived in the projects, I could have been more graphic about the things I came across with some of the people I saw and the things they have, but that might have been a little too much to handle.I also described one of my poems as a tiny monster with claws beneath the floors. That creature was a large rat, and that was a true story. My family and I had no choice but to live in that house, due to financial problems, because it possibly would have hurt my career if I left. Well, that's a short version of my poetry.

In 2018, Nathan published a book entitled, The Dignity of Profit: Building Community through Entrepreneurship. In it he described the call that we have as Christians to go out into the field to make a difference and the landscape that awaits those servants who do. A general approach to the way this plays out at field level was provided; but now, there has been some actual experience that we use to flesh out the process.Through a grant from a local economic development organization, Luke 16 Corp (a non-profit founded by Nathan) purchased a building and built out areas for incubated businesses. This facility also included a café for training people for work focused on customer service. It is an unusual concept in that businesses get support by the Luke 16 organization. This book is about how to garner the support necessary to make projects like this be all that they can be.Jeffery Baker is joining in this book to provide the additional perspective that will make it much richer in terms of a broader knowledge of field work. Both Nathan and Jeff have entrepreneurial backgrounds and seek to foster a better understanding of the power that can come from true service-oriented approach.Additionally, our experience has helped us understand the potholes that await anyone who seeks to step out in faith. Profit was directed toward churches, and to some degree businesspeople, who weren''t that interested in either social enterprises or social entrepreneurship. So, here''s the approach in Service: let''s develop the notion that servants are not weak or ignorant folks who can''t or won''t take on such projects. As we look at what it means to be a servant leader, we hope you will find yourself imagining how you can pursue your dream or objective with this approach.Ultimately, the main focus still has to be on developing community. For we believe that only by doing so can there be a meaningful impact on helping to alleviate poverty. We will look closely at the fallacy of other programs and provide some alternatives that can be very effective.

A story about Don Cooper from infancy, born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, his maternal ancestors emigrated from Germany in the 1850s. They made their homesteads in Washington County, Wisconsin. Don visited their farms frequently as a youth and eventually was employed as a farm hand on the farm of his mom''s cousin. Those many visits convinced him that he would become a farmer someday. His mom''s cousin, Armand "Wimpy" Mertz, became his mentor.  Don worked full-time for him after graduating from high school. He loved the cows, calves, pigs, chickens, wildlife, and especially the horses. Wimpy knew the names of the trees, weeds, other plants, bugs, and all of God''s creation. Don admired his vast knowledge and was thankful for having such a wonderful teacher. He soon realized that his chances of purchasing a farm of their own was pretty slim. He worked on several agricultural-related jobs. His friends Paul and Elvira Brunnquell convinced him to go on a blind date. Ruth Nienow, was his date; he fell madly in love with her and prayed that God would convince her to be his beautiful bride. One year later they were married. Her dad was a farmer, and they decided to purchase a farm. They saw an ad in the paper, "Farm for Rent," and another ad, "Purebred Herd of Holstein Cows for Sale." They purchased the cows and rented the farm. It was a nightmare. There was too much work and not enough income. Their landlord died six months later. The next farm was also bad news. The third rented farm was an excellent farm that provided them with the income needed to purchase their own farm. Dairy Farming: A Way of Life describes the many trials and tribulations they endured. The Lord was with them every step of the way. Without His ever presence and guidance, they would not have not have been able to continue farming. 

The current single energy concept has run its course. It cannot explain the simplest of quantum interactions without violating laws of mathematics and physics. The Dual Energy Concept states that dark energy is not atomic in form and that the Absolute Energy Medium is a combination of the two energies coexisting in singularity. By doing so, questions in quantum mechanics, relativity, and the universe can be simply and physically explained without violating any laws. 

"Dedicated to glory of Jesus Christ and God''s True Word, the Holy Bible" is Don''s mission statement, and throughout all of his writings, he tells how the Lord has been at his side throughout his whole life. Without His presence, Don could have never done the seemingly impossible things he''s done.This book is a compilation of stories, poems, and song lyrics, which really do come from the heart of a former dairy farmer who sincerely desires to share his love for Jesus and God''s true Word, the Holy Bible, with you. It tells of our faith and experiences during our time as dairy farmers and how those two intertwined.
