About this ebook
The Pilgrim Journey
I strived to provide a title for my book that would focus the mind-set of the reader to our family's journey through life; that of immense hardships and struggles, as well as that of courage and determination, to bring about personal triumph over misfortunes. And within this context of selecting a Title, I also wanted to reflect an immerse reverence for the Lord; the Almighty. For we children were taught by word and deed, from early childhood, to place our faith in our Creator.
For, out in the lonely country side, without a telephone, radio or TV, in the scorching summer time, sleeping out on the rickety front porch of our small two room house, I recall so clearly, looking up at the stars and the moon and reciting the little prayer that our Mom had taught us children; and never in my childish dreams fancying that I would live to see mankind journeying to and landing on that beautiful Heavenly body that I was observing.
Now lay me down to sleep,
Pray the Lord my soul to keep;
If I should die before I wake,
Pray the Lord my soul to take.
And when Sunday's rolled around, making it to our little country church on foot, in a wagon or buggy; listening to the great hymns of praise and acclamation, lives on as a memory bliss. Then, members of long ago, who rose to great prominence in life, coming back home for interment beside our little country church.
Thus, I could not in the final analysis, but to provide a title that emulates, as near as possible, our sojourn to that of the early Pilgrims, who sacrificed and braved the immense hardships of leaving their homeland and journeying across the ocean to America for freedom of choice and worship.
Miles to Go: Promises to Keep
After much deliberation in selecting a befitting Title for my book, I continued to feel a certain void in my selection, as it appeared no to account for the countless miles of traversing that we had to do out in the countryside and the content that the journeying had on our lives; for it gave us time to reflect most deeply on our circumstances, where we had been in life, where we were in life and where we were going in life, and which of the promises we were going to keep in life; and thus selected the subtitle: Miles to Go: Promises to Keep.
