Book excerpt: (Dr. Joye Pugh, author) Everyone knows life is filled with ups and downs. My life has been richly blessed by the closeness of family and friends. I am so lucky and I thank God for the people He always sent my way to fill my days with more sunshine than rain. When storm clouds would gather around, it always seemed each storm, no matter how bad, ended in a rainbow. Looking for the stepping stones to find the path God designated for my life has not always been an easy task. Just like everyone else I, too, have stumbled and fell. In the South we call that experience, "falling off the turnip truck."
