Creator - Hear my prayer

When I hurt the most
Self will t’was true
Self will had failed
And God’s will new

I learned to love him
And accept
And love for me
was the effect

As love for God
And myself grew
I learned to share
that love with you

James is a life long friend of my grandpa Larry Matrious and my dad Brian Matrious... so most of the teachings you will read about in this book come from my family...

James became our uncle brother and son to my family years ago...  it makes me so proud to have my grandpa's teachings an my father's together in this book.....
