First Chapter Friday!
Ironies, Coincidences, and Absurdities in My Ordinary Life on Both Sides of the Atlantic by Henryk Hoffmann
With an honest, unbiased and oftentimes self-mocking manner, the author shares the highlights of his personal and professional life in Poland and the USA, spanning over nearly seventy years, in the form of purposefully laconic stories in a culturally and socio-politically rich context, emphasizing the uplifting, hilarious, ironic, paradoxical and absurd situations. Filled with personal observations and factual information covering such areas as education, sociology, geography, history, politics, linguistics, literature, performing arts, sports and the paranormal, the episodes address issues of growing up, professional struggles and successes, love and married life, friendships, parenthood, social life, short- and long-distance travels and even relationships with pets.

God doesn’t want us to be stupid. He doesn’t want us to take what He has given us and to use it in the wrong way. He doesn’t want us to degrade ourselves. He doesn’t want us to demean ourselves. He doesn’t want us to devalue ourselves. We are made by God. We are His children and as such, we have a right to happiness, peace, joy, forgiveness, mercy and a host of blessings that can span farther than our eyes or even our minds can see. So why do we act the way we do?

My name is Rebecca Benston. I’m a Christian. I’m a woman. I’m a mother. I’m a writer. I’m a thinker. When I write fiction, I am usually writing a mystery series called The Rona Shively Stories. My P.I. character, Rona Shively is feisty, fearless and fabulous and is usually caught up in something she doesn’t want to be caught up in. In addition to this series, I also have a blog called Higher Ground for Life. Through this blog, I’m hoping to reach women or anyone who is seeking to develop a relationship with God and give them inspiration to get out there and follow His path for their lives!
I also have a blog called Leading the Follower. This one is my favorite. I write about religion, faith, spirituality and all that goes along with it. What we believe, what we don’t believe, what we are told to believe and how society feels about believing in general. I do a lot of testifying here and some of what I say may make you angry. Most of it will make you think. Some of it will make you cry. Any of it could make you laugh. It’s really up to you.
