J wrote this book, Im Still a Young Man several years ago. It laid on the shelf for quite some time. Then one day I had a bad incident happen to me. I passed out and had to have a defibralator on my chest to revive me. God gave me more time to do what He wanted me to do. He gave me inspiration to live. I realized that perhaps my book that had lain on the shelf for so long could be a tool for young men to know that while everyone may not be successful in all things they do, they should not result to violent crimes, early suicide, teenage pregnancy and any other horrible criminal acts. We should excise determination in finding a path to our goals. In addition to that, we should excise lifting each other up in love. When you give up your life or take someone elses life, you get zero in life. We cant keep losing our young men. Read this book and see that everyone has obstacles in their life.

Thank God again and again. My inspirations come from Sebrena, Stevie and Shaun.

My name is Thomas Steven Bruce. Growing up along side a small highway where the houses were scattered miles apart from each in a small town called Medley, West Virginia definitely gave me a taste of real country living. Medley has one post office, which opens at 8:00 a.m. — closes at noon and two convenient stores. Farming and pulp wood are means to an income in Medley. There are also coal mines that run thirty to forty miles in Medley. I was the youngest of eleven children in my family. My father died when I was a year old. After graduating from Petersburg High School in Petersburg, W. Va., I went to Shepherd College in Shepherd Town, W. Va. on a scholarship. Later I got my Master’s from the District of Columbia in Adult Education; then retired from the Metropolitan Police Department, Washington, D.C. My residence is now in Temple Hills, Maryland. I am involved in the Temple Hills Association; attend church at Holy Family in Temple Hills; walk and line dance with the Iverson Mall Walkers and Line Dancers. Mason Redemption Twenty Four is a lodge I am affiliated with. I enjoy music. James Brown was my favorite artist. During the day, the Young and Restless and Oprah Show keep me busy. I love to play the slots. Through it all, though, there is not a day goes by that I don’t thank God for everything. I almost died about a year ago. Paramedics put a defibrillator on my chest and bought me back to life. God is good.
