About this ebook
Twenty-eight years ago, T. L. Newcomer began having thoughts that lingered and dominated his mind; he could think of nothing else until he began to write them down. Now he has collected these messages and is sharing them in this new volume in order to encourage others to use them to allow their minds the freedom to explore their thoughts. This, he hopes, will provide you with the opportunity to grow and expand your mind. Those thoughts may take you, as they have him, to places you have never been before and help you experience new emotions and feelings.
Thoughts offers a compendium of short contemplations on themes from everyday life. In it, Newcomer shares his thoughts, musings, and moments of growth and insight from his life, seeking to inspire deeper thought and understanding in others.
Christ will not deny you anything you need. You will have all the advantages of the first life along with all the emotions of the second life. You will have the better of two lives. In a life with Christ, there is much joy and happiness, and the sorrows are easier to bear. Without Christ, life will be over in a few years, but with Christ, there is the knowledge that after the second death, the third and best life begins, for each life is lived to prepare for the next life.
T. L. Newcomer

43124.jpgDedication
I dedicate this book to all those who helped my faith to grow. To my many pastors and teachers I have had over the years. Special thanks to the late Pastor Cindy Ordway who inspired and challenged me to think different thoughts.
43132.jpgPreface
My Thoughts are neither right nor wrong, good nor bad, true nor false, possible nor impossible. My Thoughts are not even my beliefs. They are simply My Thoughts.
So why have I taken the time to write something that can be read in a couple of hours? The concept behind the writing is not to have you believe my thoughts but to cause you to think of your thoughts about that topic.
Read one thought and then allow your mind the freedom to explore it in detail. If you do, your thoughts will have the opportunity to grow and expand and your mind to become richer. Your thoughts may take you to a place you have never been before. What a wonderful trip that will be.

8-9-93
How difficult it is to understand my thoughts! I cherish them and allow them to grow but finding someone I can share them with is very difficult. In my life, I have only found a few people whose thoughts were as deep as mine are. Sharing with those people was a true joy. I have found that if I don’t share my thoughts, the same thoughts stay with me and I don’t grow, so now I am sharing them in writing. I have found that writing my thoughts down in their complete form frees my mind to go on to different thoughts and expand.
My file of thoughts so far is small, but it is slowly growing. Someday this file might help someone, and just maybe someone will think my thoughts are really great. But for now, I think and write so I can think anew with even deeper thoughts. I don’t know why I have the thoughts I do or what good will come from them, but I believe that someday I will know, and then I will understand this blessing of thinking deep thoughts that I possess.
43140.jpgMy Three Lives
8-9-84
The first life I lived was the easiest to live, for in that life I was in my mother’s womb. All my needs were supplied to me, and I had no wants or worries. My mother carried me around and kept me warm even when the weather outside was very cold. She fed me only what I needed and only what was good for me. It was truly an easy life, but it was without joy or happiness—without emotion
