The World We Live In
by Rolanda T. Pyle
One minute the World Trade Center stood,
and the next the towers dropped
And before we knew it, we were at war in Iraq
Child abuse, domestic violence, homelessness
and drive-by shootings
Murders, robberies, sexual assaults and lootings
Things are complex and times are tough,
Sometimes the going seems very rough.
Where is the good news we sometimes cry?
Will we see world peace before we die?
We realize that God has the world in His hands
...and He is in control across this mighty land.
At the end of the book, we surely win,
So we have to keep watching and praying until then.

Part of being a positive, active part of the community is working with local businesses and the people in the community to enhance the quality of life, through the gifts and talents of the people in a creative way.

Testimonials
My mother would say all the time how blessed she was to have met Jason. She had been writing songs and poetry since she was a teenager and it was always her dream to be published. I remember being young and retrieving manilla envelopes from the mailbox that were self addressed. When I asked her about she tried to explain that since she neither knew nor could afford a publisher, this was the only way she knew to get some type of protection for her work.
