The purpose of this writing is to draw you closer to a joyful, abundant life--closer to a life of actually living through faith versus just hoping.

Eat junk food and french fries while you sit and watch TV, and your mind, body, and skin will be reflective of that. Garbage in. Feed your body good food and stay active. You as a person, a body, will be reflective of that.

Feed your mind and body with adultery in movies and shootings on television and in our world. Feed your families the lies, cheating, and divorce on TV. That is garbage in, and families today are reflective of that. Garbage out. Feed your mind and soul hopeful, faithful, good, noble, and kind things, and you will then get those things.

Read this book in the faith that you will have a great change of mind. You will have a lifestyle change, and you will start to feed yourself the food that will truly make you prosper. Prosper in health, business, and life. Understand you can do amazing things with your life. You will understand the difference between coal and a diamond.

All things are possible for those who believe. Since God can use even a simple pot-smoking Jesus freak, he can totally use you.

I hope you enjoy the true stories in this writing. Names and demographics have been changed to protect the identity of the persons in the stories.
