Life is full of challenges. This work addresses a variety of those challenges through poetry, word unscrambles games, brief stories, and short stories. Most of these stories stem from authentic life experiences. A few of the works are fictional, yet they are much like real-life situations. Sharing wisdom and understanding are the aims of these stories. We express both empathy and sympathy to those who have or are currently experiencing similar challenges. God is the ultimate answer to all of life's problems. Sometimes we the writers of this work were good at letting go and allowing God to work on our behalf. Sometimes we were not. We reveal the good, the bad, and the indifferent. We Sage Elders pray these words bless you. They are to lead, guide, teach, and console you, and are all for God's glory.
