Publisher's Synopsis
This book is an abbreviated autobiography with emphasis on finding meaning and guidance in my life. Additional personal relationships and views on subjects such as environmental science, religion, politics, etc. can be found in my book series "The World According to Vern". I have included a large number of photos at various stages in my life. I have included photo coverage of the 1952 flood in Council Bluffs, Iowa and go on to discuss the importance of flood plain zoning. I also include grade school class photos and brief discussions of interactions in grade school.Although I have attended Church throughout my entire life, I have strayed from my moral values only to return and finally to find peace in my beliefs based on the life of Jesus Christ. No matter how hard are parents strive to protect us and prepare us for events in life we ultimately are on our own in dealing with every day temptations, weakness and decisions. It is apparent that life is like a race course. Decisions good or bad, often made instantaneously seldom can be reversed. Ultimately, I resign myself to Christ.
