    About this ebook

    Several years ago, I put some of my writings into a little book called Manna for the Journey. Since then, I have committed more thoughts to writing, and there were other early writings that were not included in the first book. Some writings in this publication are fifty years old, and some were written in 2018.

    I have been inspired and challenged by several pastors including Jack Prince, Brooks Ramsey, James Hatley, Joel Snyder, Roger Lovette, Hal Poe, Mike Smith, Brent Beasley, and Stephen Cook. My early life was inspired by my father, John J. Smith, and by A. Scott Patterson.

    When my pen starts to write, I sometimes do not know which of these men is the inspiration behind the writing.

    The children of Israel needed both manna and water from the rock. I hope that these thoughts and musings provide sustenance for your journey through this life.

    Andrew Smith

    Andrew Smith has always wanted to be a writer. After graduating college, he wrote for newspapers and radio stations, but found it wasn't the kind of writing he'd dreamed about doing. Born with an impulse to travel, Smith, the son of an immigrant, bounced around the world and from job to job, before settling down in Southern California. There, he got his first ‘real job’, as a teacher in an alternative educational program for at-risk teens, married, and moved to a rural mountain location.

      PREFACE

      Andrew Smith, Architect by trade, consistent Christian by conviction has blended creativity and faith in this collection of his God encounters. His thoughts are linked like beads on a necklace: different shapes of poetry and prose all of which are grounded by reality and hope. Each arises from private experiences and from gathered congregations. Many are stirrings stimulated by messages delivered by his pastors.

      A word of warning – some are sticky and may remain with the reader far beyond a single reading.
