Below, you'll find the Introduction for my upcoming new book entitled:  Your Truth Will Set You Free.

Once upon a time, way back in 2009, there was a family.  The family gathered around the dinner table, eagerly anticipating the delicious meal and fellowship.
    They said grace and began to dig in.
    Junior was an inquisitive young lad, always asking questions that caused his parents to wonder What is it with this kid?  
    As Junior was eating his ham slices, he noticed that the end of the (whole) ham had been cut off.
    Junior spoke up.  "Mom, why did you cut off the end of the ham?"
    "Oh," his mother replied.  "That's the way Grandma has always done it, so that's the way we do it."
    "But why?" Junior asked.
    "Well, I dunno," replied his mother.  "Let's call her and ask."
    Mother called Grandma and asked, "Grandma, Junior wants to know why we cut off the end of the ham.  I told him we always cut off the end of the ham because that's what Grandma does.  So why do you cut off the end of the ham?"
    "Oh," replied Grandma.  "That's the way Great-Grandma always does it.  So that's the way I do it."
    "But why?" Mother asked.
    "Well, I dunno," replied Grandma.  "Let's call her and ask."
    Mother and Grandma used their three-way calling feature to get Great-Grandma on the phone.
    Mother said, "Great-Grandma, Junior was wondering why we cut off the end of the ham.  I told him it was because Grandma always does it.  Grandma said she cuts off the end of the ham because you always do it.  So why do you cut off the end of the ham?"
    Great-Grandma responded, "That's easy.  My damn pan is too small."

    Moral of the story:  It's important to know why you believe the things you believe.
