CHAPTER 2: "The Name Game"
Every year when my birthday rolls around in June, I always find it quite interesting and enjoyable to read the particular greetings each year via text or social media: “Happy Birthday, Marlin”, “Happy Birthday, Luke”, “Happy Birthday, Duelin' Luke”, “Happy Birthday, Coach Lee”, “Happy Birthday, Coach Dalton”, “Happy Birthday, Lindy”. Yes, I am a man of many nicknames, aliases, and nom de plume's as it were. It's like a chronological trip down memory lane, as depending how each person addresses me tells the story of when and where they met me during my lifetime. So I thought I would offer an explanation of the origin of each of my many names that are all one-in-the same ME.
CHAPTER 3: "Takin' Care of Business"
This particular “Chapter” of my blog actually takes a short break from the narrative and recounting of my life. I wanted to let you know where future chapters will take you, what I hope this blog will lead to, and how you can help.
CHAPTER 4: "Living on House Money (or Thank you, Jesus! I Should Be Dead Already)"
“Man, that was a close one!”. Who hasn't said that a few times in their life when you realize you may have escaped almost certain death in a situation? That only by the grace of God, and likely the prayers of others (with your Mom probably at the top of that list) did you survive to live another day.
CHAPTER 5: "Marry & Bury"
Ecclesiastes 3:4

CHAPTER 10: A Break in the Action
When I started my autobiographical blog about 6 weeks ago my goal was to inspire others by sharing my current Cancer journey, plus it's therapeutic for me. If you have checked it out already, hopefully you are entertained by my story, but even more so inspired!
CHAPTER 12: "Steel Trap Memory: Blessing or Curse?"
"The memory of the righteous is a blessing, but the name of the wicked will rot."
