His childhood is just one piece of a larger puzzle that spans the years of his life.

Others are events that changed it completely. As he examines each piece, Lawhorne's unique southern humor and gentle insights will put a smile on your face. Along the way, Lawhorne discusses the naming traditions of the South, the special time he got to spend with his father, a formative moment at Stump's general store, his mother's "One for All" approach to child raising, the origins behind his aversion to sushi, the world's strangest eating contest, the last stagecoach robbery in American history, and more hilarious adventures. While Lawhorne's tales sometimes include rivalries and conflicts with his brothers, his love for his family shines through in every story. He makes it clear that these were the pieces that mattered the most, and the lessons they taught him have followed him ever since.

Exhausted by the frustration and pain of the journey, they cease the pursuit of truth and purpose. I searched and found the missing piece in all the wrong places. This piece will fill in the gaps of your incomplete life's puzzle.

Download or read book Puzzle Pieces written by Kimberly Becknell Williams and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-02-22 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metaphorically, I like to think when we are born we have lots of jigsaw puzzle pieces inside our bodies that must be put together to complete our souls, our atman. Some of our puzzles pieces are missing in the beginning and we have to find them. Others are just scattered and must be reconnected. By walking through life, we happen upon people and experiences that are the missing or disconnected pieces of our puzzles, the link to our souls. Matching puzzle pieces might be found hiking in the woods, climbing a tree or watching an osprey in flight. At the beach, it might be the sound of waves crashing on the shore or gazing at the sunset over the ocean. Other pieces might fit together during a long conversation with an old friend or a hug from someone who understands. More parts fit together in simple pleasures like the smell of freshly-mown grass, picking the first tomato of the season or seeing several deer in the yard. Or the puzzle pieces might connect in more complex ways like learning a new language, finishing a marathon or writing a book. During rough times, someone or something could dismantle the puzzle and you have to start all over. It's a book you can pick up where you left off. It's not intended to be read straight through. I still have some missing pieces and so do you if you're reading this. One day my puzzle will be finished and yours will be too. Walk with me now...

My eyes are finally opened - maybe a bit late, but still opened." SuckerNoMore "Thank you for making me feel sane again." Tom "I wish I had read this years ago; it would have saved me money, heartbreak and pain. I met a one eight years ago and I believed I was with the man of my dreams. It's been a nightmare. I often wondered how I got caught up in this crap but reading about it has open my eyes." Michelle "I truly believe this info saved my life! I thank God I found it and I thank God you are eloquent enough to cut right thru to all the things I have been experiencing with this monster but was never able to verbalize! it felt like you were speaking directly to me! Thank you again for all the incredibly insightful info." Duped "I have no words but thank you so very much!" Anthony "After countless sessions with a therapist this makes more simplistic sense of what I had been going through in marriage. Very insightful and I wish the readers acknowledged. Wellness." Eric "I just want you to know what a valuable service you've provided by creating this site. I stumbled upon it the other day while doing some research on psychopathy in an attempt to understand how the individual I was involved with could do all the things he did. It was such a relief to realize, after reading several of your posts, that this monster who had me believing he was one in a million is actually just one OF a million... psychopaths. He's no more than a common, predictable set of symptoms and patterns. He fits the mold perfectly. I understand better than ever now that none of this was my fault; that he targeted me; and that the mental anguish he put me through was something I could not have resisted if I tried... because I could never be someone who thinks the way he does. Your information helped me realize that fully and take that last step of discarding any last little attempt to "reconcile" the unthinkable." L.B. "Thank you for a brilliant and concise definition of a psychopath. This information is the best I have seen on this topic...I now know I am not crazy. Thank you.

Download or read book All the Missing Pieces written by M. Anne Wright and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anne sat on the side of the bed where her suicidal stepson lay. He had traveled to their new home perched high on a palisade overlooking the Pacific. All too familiar with mental illness, she offered him hope as she described her life, a life of abuse and addictions. Her words, descriptions of a life where she and her siblings were placed in an orphanage for eight months where abuse continued. Her words to her stepson were powerful; as she stated, living in survival mode was not how God wanted us to live. A month later, he hung himself. One more suicide to add to the others. All the Missing Pieces is the exploration of a journey of unspeakable events where a strong, happy, talented woman grew. A woman who abhors abuse, who speaks up against inhumane treatment. She provides the reader with actions that allowed her to survive, eventually abandon survival mode for real joy. She learned that even though her relationship with God was absent, she realized that he was always with her and her siblings.
