Here Comes the Train: "Legacy Lessons for Life"

Who would have comprehended that a small piece of paper, torn out of the Tyler Morning newspaper in 1967, would have been the impetus for the writing of this book? My grandmother, Stella Massey, who gave me this clipping over fifty years ago, set in motion the inspiration which would eventually result in this manuscript. I have kept that little piece of newspaper, a Bible thought for the day, now laminated, in my billfold for fifty-three years and counting. Along the way others have made major contributions. My good friend, Eddie Dickey, helped to advance my contemplation of creating a spiritual will. As we would take walks together early in the mornings in our hometown of Adamsville, Tennessee, he would serve as a listening ear and a guiding light. These conversations became the catalyst for my printing of the spiritual advice card which I have shared with more than five hundred people.
