A living crystal blue stream flowed from the throne of the King and out into the lush kingdom that his beloved children dwelt in. It passed the beautiful gardens happily winding its way through fields of fragrant flowers and past a lush green meadow.
Two young boys frolicked along its gentle banks near the place where their families reclined in the cool of the day. After a long romp in the sweet smelling clover the older of the two plopped down at the lap of his mother.
"Mommy?" he said, adoringly.
"Yes, Jimmy" his mother replied stroking his dark hair.
"What was the world like before?"
"Before what, son?"
"Before you and daddy, and Benjy's parents. . . and. . . all the rest were here with Jesus."
Rachel smiled down at her sweet son, holding her husband, James' hand tightly. "Well. . . things were not nearly so wonderful as they are here. It was as though we lived in a constant shadow."
"Wasn't there anything good there?" The little boy persisted.
She thought for a moment and then looked at Benjy's mom knowingly.
"God made many good things there. . . and. . . he allowed Mr. Bosley to make one, too." Andy smiled at Rachel's son. "His name was Sydney"

About the Book
A decade ago, as I searched hopelessly for my little brother's home through the endless tract housing projects of an LA suburb, I came upon an ominous sight! I emerged from my 100th cookie cutter side street to come face to face with the most immense and foreboding cluster of buildings I'd ever seen in my life! There before me, hidden in the midst of an endless sea of identical upper middle class houses...was a massive, state of the art complex. I recognized the name of the company. They dealt in credit...Why would a "credit" company be so massive...have so much state of the art security? I pondered that question for some time. I remembered hearing somewhere that this company had information on everyone.... everywhere. What influence one could have with all that information? And then a thought began to weave its way into my consciousness. In the wrong hands what evil could come of so much power... power with those of an elite group of corporate executives from around the world... those whose morality is dictated by...the bottom line?
