There was a gunslinger named Durango that arrived in the town of Yuma.  He wanted to meet with the sheriff and be a deputy.  Durango met with Job, the minister, and he said “we have no sheriff”. Durango was looking to become deputy, but then it looked as though he could be sheriff of that town.  Sheriff Durango met Katie Joe down at the pond taking a bath with no clothes on. They had a hot romance and opened up a diner/saloon. Samuel was a fill-in law man of the town and was a gunslinger. He became deputy working with Durango.  Durango became blood brothers with Cuda of the Falling Rock tribe and there was peace in the Yuma territory. The son of Cuda did not want peace between Yuma and their tribe. He hated the white man, but Cuda said the spirits have spoken on their peace treaty. Cuda and Durango were a lot alike because they both had a heart and only killed in self-defense. Durango meets up with Fast Eddie, a friend of his that rode with him in the Texas Rangers. Fast Eddie became a Deputy for Durango and helped out in multiple gunfights. Durango tries to tame the town of Yuma and protect the vulnerable settlers.

Bogue Lusa Creek Many years before the great death, there walked a warrior, Hurinoma With towering form and haughty stride, the pride of his father, Kupa, And the bravest of the tribe. Following the stream's gurgling rush, Hurinoma traveled far. Soon he saw the fires of Puma, neighbor warrior, Chief of Might And his eyes fell upon Pehadee, daughter of the Puma Tribe Under the gaze of frowning Puma, young Hurinoma was not wanted, Here among the Puma Tribe Strongly beat the heart of the lover as he walked into the light, Here was beauty pure, haughty woman this Pehadee of the Puma Tribe As she gazed upon his features, the fire spoke to her ear, "It is he of our vision, Little Daughter, Hurinoma of the Kupa Tribe." Beyond the flicker of the flames, Without a word, without a gesture, Off into the forest they wandered, away from Puma, from Kupa's sight. The wrath of Puma was mighty; the anger of Kupa yet greater, They joined hands in vengeance as Hurinoma and Pehadee had in love Beside the crystal clear water of the stream they found them, Sleeping gently, 'neath the cypress, and in their madness, they killed them, As punishment for their love. The sparkling water, angered by the sight above, Raged and rumbled, thundered higher, taking the lovers Deep into a watery grave, and the water darkened deeply, from blood of the lovers. The water kept its blackness, kept the secret in its depths So it came to be Bogue Lusa, in the language of the Muskogean And on the nights clear and still, Pehadee can be heard calling Her name across the black water And the voice of her lover, Hurinoma, Muffled by the blackened water, Calls "Hurinoma, Hurinoma" (c) 1970, Robert D. Lawrence Jr. In memoriam Robert D. Lawrence III Oct.5, 1962-July 17, 2002

If you enjoy inspirational short stories, you'll find it difficult to put this book down. It is part memoirs and part explorations into our potential for finding harmony within the daily adventures and challenges that comprise a lifetime. Some of the vignettes reveal insights born from dreams or from listening to the whispers of truth which speak to us in seemingly ordinary encounters. Are you ready to embark on the greatest journey of your life? Most likely you have already started, though you may not be fully aware of the implications. I'm talking about the journey to the innermost core of our souls, where we each encounter opportunities to discover who I am and why I have come to be. Along the way, learning moments present themselves more often and in more ways than we realize-- priceless gifts begging to be recognized and received. The stories in this book are rooted in such inner-facing life experiences. Collectively they provide a window into my journey inward, which I named Sunseed's Quest.

“I loved that tractor like I would have loved a horse and rode it many long days. I traded it and $3,500 for a Case 730, also bought a hay tedder at auction for $982.”-George Kempton“We all went to church and then after dinner cut boys hair, and George and mine too, pleasant day at home.”-Pat KemptonRead this book for a rare, well-rounded picture of what it was like to establish a dairy farm and grow a large family in the beautiful, remote, economically poor Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, 1962-1985. George’s dry humor combined with Pat’s matter-of-fact, but deeply felt journal entries will draw you into their eventful lives, and before you know it you’ll be thoroughly immersed in the rhythm of the family and the seasons. George Kempton worked as a valued farm laborer in southern Vermont until he and his wife Patty, a nurse, were able to buy their own dairy farm in 1962 in Peacham, Vermont. There, they raised their five children and integrated into a diverse, rural community during the restive years of the 1960s and ‘70s. Sadly, Patty died in 2012, but she left behind an invaluable record of family life on the farm in the form of a daily journal. George continued to live on the farm until the day after this book went to press in April 2018, when he passed on while reading a detective novel from the library.

Marian Elizabeth Morrison is a good girl, a tough girl, the kind of girl you don't have to worry about--except when it comes to love. From her Irish Catholic school days to her dedicated years as an officer of the court, Marian seemed like she had it all figured out. She was beautiful, smart and loved by her family and friends, but she just couldn't seem to make romance stick. All she wanted was the kind of love her grandparents and parents shared. Was she too independent, too tough? Or had she just forgotten how to listen to her own heart? Marian must learn how to become her own woman. She knows what her mother expects of her, what her friends want for her, and what her lovers want from her, but what--or who--does she want for herself? In the end, Marian must decide what she truly desires and what she's willing to risk to keep it.

Sami spent years in denial of her alcoholism. She is cross addicted and accepted she was a pill popper long before she admitted to her disease of being an alcoholic. Thirty-three years of precious moments, family events, and relationships were stolen due to this insidious disease. She was sick mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually until the day God guided her to a program of recovery.Sami believes in destiny and it was God who brought her to Alcoholics Anonymous. In return she is convinced AA brought her to the personal relationship she has with God. While in the rooms she experienced her first, of many, spiritual experiences with God and it was astounding, and she knew it was fate. She, at last, reached the beginning of her journey to a happy, joyous, and free life.From the very beginning she knew the program only works if you work it, and that you must go to any length to remain sober. Most importantly she learned she is not alone, because through her discovery there are millions of others like her—admitted alcoholics, yet others who have not made it to the rooms. Journaling has been a life line to her soundness of mind. She believes her book will be instrumental to others who struggle thinking they are alone in this dark hell of alcoholism. A disease so cunning, baffling, and powerful that it convinces us we do not have a disease.

Jim has a very big heart and the gift of healing. One day he discovers a group of ants living in his house and amazing events begin to unfold....

In Turning Base, Betsy Lynch examines transience, love and grief, parenting, learning to let go and not learning to let go, teaching and learning, recovery, fear and aging, awareness of God, doubt, and powerlessness. Above all, she seeks connectedness; we are not the first to live tragedy, comedy, great divisions, madness, mortality. Humor and humility help.The theme, Wind Perceptions, presented itself as the single most compelling common denominator and metaphor of her adult life:“I seek awareness of weather conditions, spiritual, emotional, political, and physical, she says. I seek guidance, whether to go with the wind or against it, seek lift, or descent; I cross it, relish it, use it, shelter from it, or simply accept it, palms open upward: no matter what path I choose, I can’t change the wind.”Turning Base, now, descending before final approach, landing, the earth reaches up gently, and perhaps it is benevolent. Or perhaps, it simply is.“Listen to my story, come close. And listen to your own story in response. Maybe my story will become part of your story.” 

Effective risk management involves many factors. Identifying, evaluating, mitigating risks, and then communicating this information to appropriate parties, are each well-known and highly recommended activities in the process. Risk management has always entailed a significant analytical component in many elements of the process, as it should. What I believe has not been sufficiently appreciated is that the quality of the decisions people make is the most powerful determinant of success or failure of a risk management process. Further, there is a growing body of research that has shown that decision making is flawed, and often times biased in many ways, leading to ineffective and many times damaging decisions for organizations of all kinds. "Better Behavior + Better Decisions = Less Risk" examines the critical, and heretofore largely unexplored, role of understanding the human behaviors and decision-making processes involved in the art and science of risk management, and provides many illuminating examples of how organizations can make more effective decisions about addressing the risks they face. Each chapter concludes with a "Self Appraisal" section, where the reader can assess how his or her organization makes risk management decisions of all types, and how their organizations can make more effective decisions that increase the likelihood of their success.

Lucy isn't alone! Statistics estimate that 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be sexually abused before their 18th birthday. Surprisingly, 95% of the victims know their predators. I hope that you will use this story to teach your children to TELL SOMEONE if this happens to them! There are prompts provided for parents to engage their children in a conversation, to help avoid this from happening to them. Parents are encouraged to teach their children about their private body parts, and that they are to be covered (like when we wear a swimsuit to swim). Private parts are just that, private! Talk about what that means.Also, included at the back of the book are signs of sexual abuse, who to contact if this happens to your children, and websites to learn more about children and sexual abuse. This book may be used by School Counselors, Child Psychologists and hopefully, most of all, by PARENTS.
