Haley

I am so proud of the young woman you have become!  I am always watching from afar; and seeing you grow and mature has been pretty awesome.  No matter how far away you live, or how long in between seeing you, I am always thinking about you.  I have also watched your journey to find out about God.  I know some of the so-called Christians you have seen in your life aren’t the best examples.  I saw you get turned off by the rock-star like church services, and disappointed when you found a great preacher, who later had to step down over something he did wrong. 

I was pretty zealous when I started reading the Bible.  That can be a good thing, but it can also make someone come off like a “holier than thou” person.  I tried really hard for the last several years to make sure you knew I wasn’t like that.  I just sat back and waited for the opportunity to talk to you about God. This book is my opportunity.  I know you have lots of questions, and I know you have seen the hypocrite Christians out there.  God must have given you some great discernment to be able to spot fakes or hypocrites, because I saw you doing it before you even knew what the Bible said about it.  I am overjoyed to hear that you are reading your Bible.  I can tell you with 100% certainty that the Bible is God’s Word, there are no contradictions, and the answers are all there. 

I am so grateful that you are my niece!  You are so smart and of course beautiful inside and out.  The passion you have for helping others in incredible, and I can’t believe you have been able to put all the cancer charity events together to honor your grandma.  It just makes me so happy that I  am related to you. 

Love you so much!

Nikkolina

Yo Nikk, thanks for being such a great niece!  You are such a bright light when you enter a room.  I have watched how much you love to help other people; and your positive attitude is infectious.  That is a gift young lady, and a very unique one!  You just make me smile every time I see you.  It’s like I still picture 6-year-old Nikk running and giving me a hug.  You have never changed, and that is pretty remarkable.  I know inside, or when you aren’t around others, it may not always feel so rosy, but the joy and laughter you have brought to so many people, including those you have served at work, make a huge difference in people’s lives.  That is something to be incredibly proud of!

It’s funny how us old people work.  I always think back to all the “what happened to Nikk?” times in my life.  The bee sting, the broken arm, falling off the swing, and many more.  You are so darn tough; and God wanted you that way for a reason.  I admire the joy you have in life and how it sure seems to me like you don’t take any day for granted.  We could drop you in the middle of any town or city in the world and within a week you would have a ton of new friends.  People are attracted to you because of the gift you have. 

God blessed me big-time when I married into the family and I got to be your Uncle.

I can’t wait to see you for Christmas.  I am counting down the days.  Give Jack a big hug for me!

I love you!

Uncle Bill

Jack

Yo Jacko.  Right now, you are my favorite nephew named Jack.  You might have some competition in the future if I ever get another Jack as a nephew, so you better be on top of your game. Lol  Seriously though, it has been a privilege watching you grow from just a poor farm kid on Tatooine to the Jedi fly-boy you are today.  You always crack me up.  I don’t know what it is, but I can just look at you and start laughing.  It has been that way since you were 2.  Even funnier was watching you and Miles together when you were kids.  It was like a comedy routine, where you were the comic and Miles was the audience.  

Dude, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate our walks together.  The fact that you continue to invite me to hang out with you and chat means more to me than you will ever know.  (Well maybe now you know lol)  Our talks are awesome and I think we have touched on just about every topic of the day.  I still think we are going to do a podcast together some day. 

I will always be here for you, as long as I am still here.  I hope this book can answer some questions for you, and maybe get you to ask a few more.  

Thanks for being such a great nephew! 

Uncle Bill

Miles

Yo, what up?  You are the man, Miles.  Until Jack steps up and starts wanting to golf all the time, you will be my favorite. Lol  I am just so darn fortunate (unlike our sports teams) because I got to spend so much time around you.  Ripping on your pop wouldn’t be near as much fun without you in the mix.  I am also very impressed at how disciplined you are with work and school.  You always had the craziest memory.  I couldn’t ever slip anything past you.  If we wanted an honest answer, and the adults weren’t giving one, we would go to you.  It was great getting to coach your basketball team with your dad that one year too.

It’s been pretty special to watch you grow up.  Getting to hang out with you all summer golfing was more fun than any other golfing I’ve done.  Even if we played like crap, I still had fun.  Thanks for letting me beat you, and thanks for always agreeing with your uncle’s sports takes over your dad’s.

Let me know if you ever have any questions or if you need anything.  I am always available for you my brotha.

Peace!

Uncle Bill

Kali

Yo, what up gurl?  Thanks for being such a wonderful and caring niece!  I have totally loved all the time we got to spend together while you were growing up.  I am so proud of the young lady you have become!  The way you help others and put others first is a really big gift God gave you.  I always appreciated the birthday cards, and you are still the first to respond to any of us old people when we need something.  

I can’t wait to see what God does in your life and where you go next after high school.  Wherever you go, I hope it isn’t too far, because we need you around here to help keep Miles and Jack in line.   You are funny and smart and an awesome part of our family.  Thanks for making me smile!  Thanks for putting up with my sister all these years.  She means well.  Haha!

I am always here for you.

Love you!

Uncle Bill

Riley

Yo.  Sup?  What u dewin?  When I was looking through pictures for this book, you were in a lot more of them than your cousins. I think It could be that you had more sporting events to photo than anyone else? You also fell down a lot, and that made for some good pics. Thanks for being such a great niece.  I am so glad your mom was too busy to hang out with you and we got to spend so much time together. Lol  You know I think you a fire, and I thought that way before that word was cool. 

I am very proud of the strong young woman you have become.  You are wicked smart and when you agree with your Uncle Bill you are right a lot.  Thanks for putting up with my nephew all these years, I know that wasn’t easy.   Being the youngest out of all the nieces and nephews can stink, but you make up for it by being the coolest. 

Reach out to me anytime you need me.

Love you!

Uncle Bill

TEAR OUT IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

Below are signs that the tribulation period (hell on earth) is here

1. There is a world leader or diplomat who will strike a peace deal that allows Israel to rebuild their temple on the temple mount in Jerusalem. 
2. If Uncle Bill was alive and went missing before the peace deal happens, then you are in tribulation. (just check local hospitals first, I am pretty old now)  
3. There is a prophet from the Old-Testament named Elijah.  He is going to come back and get Israel focused on God again. 
4. There will only be 10 people ruling over the entire world. They might be called kings, rulers, presidents or whatever, but the key is there are 10.  Right now there are hundreds, so this will be a noticeable change.
5. There will be another world war.  We are not sure if it will be the next world war or another after it.  Most say it will be WWIII, because they can’t image much survival from it with all the nukes out there.   
6. Famines will have been increasing around the world and in places no one would have expected. Food shortages will raise the cost of a loaf of bread to around $100 or an average person’s daily pay.   
7. Earthquakes will be increasing, and you should have noticed them happening in places they never used to.  The largest earthquake ever is coming during tribulation. 
8. Plagues will be increasing, and most of the earth will be start seeing them.  Tribulation will be the only time in world history where men want to die to avoid the plagues God brings on them, but are not able to.  God ensures no one can kill themselves, or die in any other way to avoid His wrath. 

If you are reading this and the things above are happening, don’t lose hope.  Maybe this is the time God has planned for you to come to faith.  Whatever you do, don’t take the mark of the beast.  You will know it when you see it, because people will be killed for not taking it.  God tells us death is a good thing during tribulation because your spirit goes right to heaven and out of that hell on earth.
