    About this ebook

    "The one thing in life you must never forget ... there is only one truth."

    I've made the realization that the person I was is not who I am today. More importantly, the person I am today is not the person I will become.

    Life Lessons, The Journey is a different kind of book than most of you are used to reading. I wanted to be able to offer insight and hope to those most in need. I also wanted to be able to deliver messages in the form of a passage; and last but not least I wanted to talk about it as if we were across from each other at the kitchen table.

    If this book lets just one person sleep well tonight, I can say job well done. If the thoughts and ideas presented can help others to no longer live in pain, this book will be a "best seller" even if only two copies were sold. If I can help one person not lose faith in his or her darkest moments, it was by the grace of God, not by my pen.

    Thank God for this opportunity and thank you for taking the time to read this book.

      LIFE LESSONS, THE JOURNEY

      When Life and Faith Collide

      "The one thing in life you must never forget...

      there is only one truth."

      Wade Yarchan

      This book is dedicated to Brian.

      You always have been and always will be the

      inspiration of my life.

      The will of God will never take you

      where the grace of God cannot protect you.

      Introduction

      This book has been a decade long project. I’ve started and stopped more times than I care to admit. Not because it was difficult to write, but every time I thought I had words of wisdom to offer, another situation came forward and proved to me how little I really know.

      I’ve made the realization that the person I was is not who I am today. More importantly, the person I am today is not the person I will become.

      Life Lessons, The Journey is a different kind of book than most of you are used to reading. I wanted to be able to offer insight and hope to those most in need. I also wanted to be able to deliver messages in the form of a passage; and last but not least I wanted to talk about it as if we were across from each other at the kitchen table.

      If this book lets just one person sleep well tonight, I can say job well done. If the thoughts and ideas presented can help others to no longer live in pain, this book will be a best seller even if only two copies were sold. If I can help one person not lose faith in his or her darkest moments, it was by the grace of God, not by my pen.

      Thank God for this opportunity and thank you for taking the time to read this book.

      How loud does someone have to scream before you stop and listen?

      Frightening question, or is it? Have you walked through the parking lot of a shopping plaza and heard a car alarm in the distance? It's become all so common. Most of us don't even turn around to see where it's coming from or what the problem might be. More than likely, a false alarm ... right?

      Life is really quite simple. Not often do the rules of nature change. It could be a car alarm in a shopping center parking lot, or a person threatening suicide or someone you see everyday with a drug or alcohol problem. All cries for help.

      The hardest of all, for me, are those that don't have a voice others can hear. Children who go to bed hungry every night, never knowing the feeling of a warm bath or being tucked into a bed of freshly washed linens. Or to be kissed on the forehead by a person they love and trust as they hear the softly spoken words ... Sweet dreams.

      How loud does someone have to scream before we stop, listen and react? How many times do we have to hear the screams of pain, of hunger, of hopelessness before we realize the cries we hear are meant for our ears and not for someone else?

      Life Lessons, The Journey was written to help those that have lost their way during one of the most challenging times they've ever seen. To teach the healing power of faith is one of the most important gifts we can share. He will show you how to teach others. How the power of faith is everything, but first you need to listen. Please, I beg of you to listen ... God doesn't scream.

      Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.

      The winner was a four years old child, whose next door neighbor, an elderly gentleman, who had recently lost his wife.

      The little boy went into the older gentleman’s yard and climbed onto his lap and just sat there.

      When his mother asked what he said to his neighbor, the little boy said, Nothing. I just helped him cry.

      It’s Just A Dash

      Our journey in life is brief. Answers we once found elusive now unfold in prayer.

      At every sunrise we’re given another chance to find peace within ... and with God.

      Our lives are all recorded in the same book, all the same way.

      A date of birth ... and a date of death, with a dash separating the two.

      The dash.

      A mere little line that holds a record of every minute of every day of our lives.

      Everyone we've loved ... everyone we've touched.

      A record of our deeds ... the good and the bad.

      And all of which we did while hanging on by a slender thread ... called faith.

      Future generations may one day speak our names; they may also speak of our dash.

      Our complete life story, all in one little line. How could it be just a dash?

      God Speed.
