When Danny returned from the war, he married his sweetheart Anne, and they lived a fulfilling life. Upon his retirement, Anne, a devout Christian, tragically lost her life when a drunk driver ran her car off the road. Despair over the loss of his wife drove Danny further from Jesus.

After a conversation with his grandson, Tim, Danny learned what he needed to do. He had to learn to forgive.

Life's Changes began in 2006 when I was 46 years of age. In a discovery I made, I always knew about this life but never really experienced it. The hypocritical life I lived was saying one thing and doing the other. In the dark world I lived in, a new light shined and a new life began. In a six-year period, everything that could go wrong, happened, but for the right reasons. This changed me and the life I live today. I hope that by you reading this book, it will help change your life and save you from the disasters, pitfalls and traps that I experienced. In the end you may be able to understand how your life can change as well. Life's Changes is based on a true story and only by reading the book, you will see a new light and a new life.

This book is about my life experiences and also contains the stories I have heard my folks tell while sitting on the front porch after supper. For many years, my maternal grandfather lived with us. He and my dad would swap interesting stories about times when they were growing up and farming with oxen and mules. They talked about the dummy line railroads that ran through the forest near our home and told their childhood tales and many other stories I would long for later in life. I wanted to pass this and my life stories down to my descendants. Many interesting stories were told in the serene setting of the front porch deep in the country, with only the interruptions of whippoorwills, hoot owls, screech owls, and such making pleasant noises in the distant woods. I hope that this book will inspire future generations in some way to understand the important things in life. Its been said that the best things are free, and I learned that one only has to make necessary efforts to obtain a peaceful, happy, and fulfilling life.

"To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child." Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC) The century that transpired during the lives of Cecil and Norma Combs began its journey in a horse and wagon across rural America and ended in the International Space Station. Their news came first by word of mouth and finally by instant messaging via the Internet. How did they survive such enormous change and challenges and yet maintain their sanity and balance? The key ingredient was their faith in God's sovereignty and providence. They raised a family of fourteen children believing that God was in charge of their lives, had a specific plan for them, and would provide everything they needed to fulfill that plan. Like so many of The Greatest Generation, they were humble, ordinary people who lived each day by the dictates of their hearts. Despite living simple lives, they impacted thousands of people. They were faithful to the tasks God set before them, and they loved people. Rather than quoting the Golden Rule, they lived it. This is the story of the history, the struggles, and the victories of an ordinary family. This is the story of Cecil and Norma Combs, two people who lived by faith. Judith Combs Puckett is a freelance writer, mother of three, and grandmother of seven. She has written poetry, magazine articles, and Sunday School literature since retiring from OG&E Electric Services. She has served alongside her husband Jim during their 45-year marriage as he pastored churches in Florida, Georgia, and Oklahoma. She and Jim live in Norman, Oklahoma, and attend One Church in nearby Moore. She enjoys traveling, reading, walking, and photography. She welcomes your comments by e-mail at [email protected].

My family is in the exact place that God wants us to be, and tomorrow God will still be with us. The God of life has given me strength to walk through the darkest days and fills my future with hope.
