CantonEveryday at the end of the day we get opportunities to review our lives good and bad. In those moments we need to be honest with ourselves and move forward to have a positive impact on all those around us. That means living your life on purpose and knowing at the end of the journey you will hear well done my faithful servant. Charlie believes in his heart of hearts he gave it all and made a complete day when it was finished. Yet, he made some small bad decisions that opened the door to other bad decisions along the way. Charlie Stroup was an amazing fireman and semi-pro football player and my grandfather. In the end his decisions and life he lived will be an open book for all men to read. Just like us. We will be accountable good and bad for our lives as we see it. Canton is a fun book and a ride through the Streets of Akron and Canton on a crisp fall day. Canton tackles some pretty tough subjects along the way. All in the hopes you can take a quick snap shot of your life and draw a line if needed to be who you were meant to be. You will know Heaven is your home when it's all said and all done. I pray Canton helps you to grasp the good in life and how easy it is to get off your path and direction you believe in with all your hearts. Charlie was an amazing grandfather in my eyes. I under stand he made some serious mistakes along the way. I had to think to myself how theses two opposite views coincide in this one man. Pastor Colin brought up it what we follow. Do we follow Thee lord or do we follow our sin bent that has been a part of us from the very first day we were born. The big question that only God and Charlie know is he in Heaven. You will see how simple life was back then and yet they face the same struggles we have today. Charlie was an amazing fireman and risked his life daily for his community. Charlie was an amazing nose guard on the Canton Bulldogs and lead his team into the defensive battle with little and no protection against a hard hitting offensive line. You will see both his joys and his anger in his life. When he was mad the whole world new by his red face. I can tell you he brought joy to this grandson later in his life when fighting fires and football was a memory for him. Canton is available at ibookstore, nook book epub book and paperback book! I hope you will buy Canton and see the exciting start to The NFL start in football. See first hand Charlie Stroup life it was an open book good and bad. My hope is to see him in Heaven someday!
