    About this ebook

    The experiences I've had in my 70 years is to see very strong ideals going by the wayside in our country. The moral climate is fading into an immoral decay. As I walked these 70 years and had to fight my own battles I've often wondered how others can even cope with some of the things they do, some seem to be having more difficult time in

      Five Years Old and I Gotta Know - Gregory Booth

      Preface

      A Person’s Salvation and a Church’s Restoration

      At the present time, there are those who do not know Jesus as Savior or Lord. They are lost.

      Not only are there individuals who do not know God, but there are churches that have become less than lukewarm.

      Most of my life I’ve had people tell me this: if you can’t say anything good, don’t say anything at all. The churches have adopted this as a primary directive and use it to omit accountability.

      Today the church is weak and to some extent has lost its way. The doctrines of men and the ease of seduction by Satan are diminishing God’s importance to the church.

      The acts occurring in our nation are a testimony to the compromising of our morals and faith in God. The churches should hold their members accountable for their actions instead of looking the other way.

      When people are accountable to the leading of God’s Word then they will carry this into everyday life. Men of God need to stand on the principles set in God’s Word, without compromising. Perhaps they don’t have time with all that needs to be done; discipline helps set priorities.

      The expectation for failure is due to the lack of preparation. This comes from either the lack or offering of the principles to the members of the church or the lack of motivation on behalf of the individuals to receive those principles.

      The offerings of Satan are very appealing and with little resistance from the recipient of the invitation. How much more is the pressure on those who have no set of moral studies?

      Chapter One

      My Name

      My name is Work In Progress. I was born in the city of Pendleton, Oregon, in June of 1948. Yes, my life started nine months earlier; however it wasn’t until much later than the time it started that I could remember details. All I can recall from before I was five years old is that I had curiosity within me, and I was an investigator of all I could see and know around me.

      My story really begins in May of my fourth year. I was an investigator whose little legs carried me every direction that my mom would let me go, and often where she didn’t.

      This first day of my story began just off the back steps on the sidewalk behind the house I grew up in. Oh! Yes, I guess I had better mention this aspect of my life at the time: I liked the other kids in the neighborhood well enough and would play with them, but only for short periods of time. I needed to find out how things worked, and that is where I spent most of my time. That was what I sought out for fun.

      Now back to the sidewalk, at the back of the house. Today was unusual because I was looking to play; well, at least for a while. But as I stood there listening, I couldn’t hear any other kids playing in my neighborhood. What a strange thing! There was always noise from my generation because of the normal screams and yelling the kids my age generated every day of the week. My next-older brother was five and a half years my senior and you could always tell which part of the neighborhood he was in. But today was quiet, with no sounds to be heard anywhere.

      The only noise I could hear was coming from my mother, who was cleaning the flowerbed next to the little cottage behind our house. I wanted to play so badly that day I asked my mom if she would play with me. But her answer was she needed to get her flowers planted. So I guess I was out of luck. I stood there for some time, remembering how my mother would tell me I should always behave because God was watching and he would tell her. Then I would be in trouble.

      Knowing God heard things and that he would tell my mom, I thought if He talked to her then He could talk to me also. So I looked up at the sky between two trees in the backyard sort of up and to my right, and said, God, can you come and play with me as no one seems to be around?

      To my surprise, I got an answer. The answer was almost like my mother’s answer in that God said, I can’t come right now. It isn’t time. I still need to get some things done. So I asked if he had time to talk for a while; He said yes.

      Well, I asked many things, I’m sure. Being in God’s presence was very enjoyable. After a while, my mother asked, Who are you talking to? So I told her and she didn’t say anything, just kept working. My conversation with God got interrupted after a while. It seems some of the neighborhood kids were playing in the hedge across the street at my aunt’s house.

      Well, they interrupted my talk with God by asking me to come over and see what they were doing. I said to them I was talking to God, that I would come later.

      As I continued to talk to God, God told me not to go over there. I knew right away something must be wrong. I said to God, "If there is something wrong,
