The concept of being alone and trying to find The Lord in times of need, desperation, break many souls, and many give up, not knowing what they are missing, being denied. So much has been planned, provided for each one, before birth, yet beaten, forsaken by mankind,... the only choices are to lay down and be trampled if faith fails, or get up and fight. The nature of human is to survive, but the responsibility and righteous way, cause all to take up the "self-life", which produces independence from God. The Lord Jesus promised that if He is lifted up, will draw all peoples onto Him. This has happened 2000 years ago, at the establishing of "The Year of The Lord", A.D., and it was because of the declaring that when He is "lifted up"...on the Cross of Death, that...the ruler of "man's hearts"..., the ruler of this World will be cast out!Knowledge runs the World but knowing according to God in Christ Jesus matters the most, the Promises were fulfilled throughout history. What about His Promises for you, do you know what is planned and provided for you? There is a... rising up, things that need to be known about Him, about you,... come and arise, rise up, learn what happens..."lf l am Lifted Up."

In "A Random Act of Kindness" a young man sees something he knows is not right, steps in, and makes a difference to someone he does not know and has never met before. That simple random act of kindness did make a difference. Mark Twain once said; "The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why." In this book I've tried to show that difference and why it really is true. Life is all about choices we make. Some good…some not so good. Failure, however, is not an option. How we respond to circumstances beyond our control, in many cases, can be the difference between peace of mind or heart-wrenching agony. I would hope we call can come together and choose peace of mind.

When Louis is murdered she becomes a pawn in the political intrigues that are ripping France apart and her worst instincts take over as she abandons herself to a life of greed, sex, pleasures, and selfishness.

They think only of the corrupted woman whose name has become synonymous with depravity and blind ambition.

Mepham High School is a highly-detailed, well-written story that occurred during the nineteen forties which takes the reader on a journey in time and culture that captures interest and attention. All incidents and much of the dialogue are accurate.  Names are fictitious except for Jack Solomons, Sal D’Angelo’s best friend who edited several of his books.Though the story includes Mepham losing its one hundred first wrestling match after a hundred consecutive wins, it is about Sal D’Angelo’s high school life. Though an intelligent regent student, he has trouble with school work because of attention deficit disorder and his difficulty adjusting to teen behavior.Sal also has trouble coping with his dysfunctional parents.  An outstanding flutist as a staff musician playing on NBC and CBS, Dad is egotistical, materialistic, and conservative.  He is also domineering, unjust and stern.  Catering to Dad’s chauvinistic ways, Mom is unhappy.  Treated like a slave, because of Dad’s income, she tolerates him, often bragging to musician friends about never washing a dish.  Nor does either parent praise Sal or his sister about anything.Though loving and possessing a good personality, Sal is bashful with girls, especially since most belong to cliques that associate with boys with varsity letters in sports. Nevertheless, naively curious about the world and stunned while listening to news about the casualties during World War II, he eventually develops an iconoclastic way of thinking, yet with a sense of humor.  Absentmindedly noting little things around him like leaves on trees, insects, and the ballerinas printed in the wall paper at home suggests that Sal isn’t as maladjusted as he thinks. In fact, he is like most teens his age.

Washington in New York. The nation’s capital is in New York City, George Washington is president, and the competing policies of Alexander Hamilton and James Madison are threatening to divide the infant republic before it has a chance to prove itself. Washington becomes ill and is near death, and the government comes to a standstill.The plot of a novel? No. It happened as recounted in this book.

P. S. 201 takes place in a jungle-like section of Brooklyn during the Thirties.  Son of dysfunctional parents, Sal D’Angelo suffers from attention deficit disorder (unknown then). Though petrified when Mom starts putting him in the dark basement at age four for not drinking his milk which he hates, he is happy about starting school.  Intelligent, creative, and loving, he assumes others are similar, and is shocked.  Bullies abound, kicking small boys including him, even girls during recess and after school.  Though he reciprocates, they beat him up regularly.  Blaming Sal for inciting them, Mom constantly slaps him across the face for arriving home late, disheveled, or both.Lacking parental love and attention, Sal soon becomes the class clown.  Receiving D’s in conduct throughout the grades, he infuriates Dad, especially when Sal blames his teachers for being mean and unfair.Dad finally appears unexpectedly at the class door, embarrassing Sal as an eighth grader. Miss O’ Malley, his teacher, is prejudiced against Italians.  Refusing to discuss Sal, she practically slams the door in Dad’s face. Humiliated, Dad blames Sal and explodes unmercifully at him that night.Moved to the last seat in the last row days later, Sal manages not to utter one word during the last six school weeks. Happy about graduating, and expecting an ‘A’ in conduct, he receives another ‘D’.  Stunned, he breaks down and retreats from reality.  School and houses appear to fade away before his eyes while he pauses on the school corner to look back.  Amazed, frightened, and almost fainting, he waits until they seem to start edge back before heading for Grandma’s house. Barely discerning someone playing The Rustle of Spring emanating through a nearby opened window, he breaks into tears.

This book is a work of love. Love for a cat named Aphrodite. We adopted her the minute we saw her come out of the hiding place where her feral mom and dad were temporarily staying…under our neighbor's back porch. It was love at fi rst sight. We adopted the whole family and they stayed with us until her mom and dad (Hera and Zeus) crossed over that Rainbow Bridge. Sixteen years later, Aphrodite is still with us, and although she has some health issues, is still going strong. I hope you enjoy her story (as told to you by Aphrodite).
