Introduction In this collection of 25 compelling and sometimes humorous lessons on life first published in The Pacific Island Times, Theodore Lewis tells the story of a fascinating journey that starts as a teenager growing up in "Pure Michigan" where he learns that education is life (THE COLORED PRINT SHIRT) and has the good fortune to experience firsthand the principle of respect from Mickey Mantle and Denny McLain (HIGH AND TIGHT WITH MEDIOCRE CHEESE). A successful and distinguished healthcare career starts at Kettering Medical Center in Dayton, Ohio, where he learned that IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING. Providence initiates his ten year tenure of CEO at Parkview Adventist Medical Center in Maine WHEN A MANILA HEART SURGEON SAVES A MAINE HOSPITAL. Lewis' experience in handling threatening obstacles is demonstrated in the miraculous story WHEN A MUSTARD SEED MOVED A MOUNTAIN. VENGEANCE IS MINE tells the story of how a principled CEO working to clean up and improve a troubled Guam Memorial Hospital, is slandered and crushed as a result of a threatened bureaucracy determined to snuff out a leader of integrity. Learning THE VIRTUE OF FORGIVENESS gives Lewis the strength and impetus he needs to go from CEO in Guam to Uber Driver in Maine where he learns the lesson that EVERYBODY IS A SOMEBODY. This accomplished executive, consultant, speaker, and columnist with The Pacific Island Times uses the experience of a pandemic for a REFLECTION ON TIME LEFT and helps us all dream of a future in A NEW PROMISED LAND.
