Are we dust in the wind, or are we human beings with a purpose? Are we born to live alone or thrive together? These are questions that have rocked my foundation. Simply Put is my attempt to propose questions in order to find answers. In my search for understanding, I have allowed life to unfold with its wonders and complexities. It is my sincere hope that you will join me on this voyage.
You'd think they'd hand out maps or life strategy plans, wouldn't you? No one I ever knew had a map or even a guidebook for life. No three-point outlines. No "Sit down here and let me tell you how this works" kind of advice either. So how was I to know? I just jumped right in, like I did with everything else in my life. Didn't question how or why...just did it! That had always been my way of doin' things from the start. "Just do it." Even before the Nike commercials.Did ya ever wonder why our federal or state court systems don't make you take a marriage test or a kid-raisin' test? Seems to me like that's way more important to the welfare and safety of our society than drivin' a Lexus or a Dodge Ram TufTruck. You have to go the courthouse in any state in America to get a marriage license, but anyone can have a baby and keep it to raise without any kind of previous experience or license. Like I said, no how-to manual. So how does anybody know how to keep a marriage going for a lifetime or raise one, two, three, or more little helpless babies into grown adults fit to govern, heal, lead, and protect our society?Well, I didn't have a manual. No license. No mentor. I just jumped right in with my heart and soul and did the best I could bein' young as I was and all. I was hardly grown myself. Certainly in no way wise to the world or rich enough to get education past high school. At seventeen, I graduated from a little country school with thirty-one kids like me who thought they knew more than they actually did. A few years later, we learned that we really didn't know much at all.Fresh and new at life and ready to jump right in and start livin' it on my own, I was ready!

Josh watched her fingers move in strange fascination. He thought he would begin to see a pattern if he watched long enough, but one didn't seem to form. He still watched it transfixed, however.Occasionally, a finger would strike out on the other side of the ball before it got dragged back to where she was sitting."Interesting. Very interesting," she whispered to herself.

It expresses how our young men and women form gangs to make their lives more dangerous without concern for themselves and how our government lies to us to get away with its corrupting way of running our country's affairs.

My name is Sharol Mason. My autobiography will walk you through my life from infancy to retirement. Due to COVID-19 and retiring simultaneously, time was on my side. I will give updates on COVID-19 as it affected our and many others' lives during the three years writing my book. My life starts out with a bang--in fact an explosion--as a baby! On my fourteenth birthday, an announcement came over the loudspeaker at school: "Sharol Curfman, please come to the principal's office immediately." I was thinking it's a birthday gift or something of that order. To my surprise, all my brothers and sisters were there too. The tragedy of that day--being told we all had to go say our goodbyes to Daddy at the hospital--changed our lives forever. Losing track of each other and tearing us apart was just the beginning of a new life. My siblings had filled in some of the gaps in my book that I didn't realize were missing until they shared their stories with me. I will share two more brushes with death along with a life filled with faith, hope, and love. I have also included stories from our family's past that have been in the public eye. I am hoping my family and friends enjoy taking one step back and one step forward, as I truly believe life is a dance, specifically the cha-cha.

This book explains the different geologic periods, animals, dinosaurs, and fossil records.

For professing themselves wise men, they became fools.
