Bricks Without Straw

Making Bricks Without Straw

In 1994 I started generating a book. "Making Bricks Without Straw," title is from the Book of Exodus in the Bible. Chapter 5 talks about how the children of God who had been in slavery for 400 when God told Moses to go to Pharaoh and tell him to let the Israelites travel for 3 days in the wilderness to worship God. Pharaoh hardened his heart. He told the slave masters to no longer provide straw for the Israelites who were making bricks using straw and mud. This was going to make God's people work harder because Pharaoh also said that in addition to them now having to find straw, they still had to meet their quota for the day. When I read this scripture in the Bible, I am looking at myself in the mirror. From 1994 until today, I have made bricks with no straw. This book is a little long because it deals with my daily thoughts during the initial phase of my Bipolar Disorder diagnosis through me obtaining my Ph.D. in Chemistry. I wrote about everything that was hurting my soul. I hope that this book will help anyone who reads the title and the scripture and thinks to themselves, Amen.
