The Creator of the universe has revealed Himself to it. The intelligent life out there knows about the Creator, and they have a strong desire to know more about Him. He has revealed the existence of a planet in a faraway system that has special value to Him. Why is this small, insignificant planet of such special value to Him? What mystery can be uncovered by visiting it? What dangers might we encounter there? Do we have the technology to get there? Do we go there as conquerors or explorers?Dr. Robinson presents a scenario where inquiring intelligent beings from another planet visit Earth, seeking knowledge of the earth's importance to their Creator.

A tiny ant (the small voice within), a spider (the Wise one), and a snail (take it one step at a time) all surround Bella with inspiration and courage to find her way home. Truly, this is a story we can all relate to!--Denae K. Leigon LMFTSmall children will request Bella's Adventure before every bedtime. Adventure-seeking Bella steps outside to explore the world. Little ones encounter new things every day, and they will understand Bella's fears.

In the year of our Lord, 1722, Queen Sarafina Bellerose ruled the kingdom with two fists of iron, a step ahead of King Cole Victor XIX. Truth is said, the king allowed her all power. It amused him to witness her torturing his many beautiful mistresses. Fact of the matter is, the queen did not cleave beauty in her face, but she clenched in her hand the king's heart, and she sat on his throne.Behold, then there is Lady Mia Stonebrook, and she will scheme with the devil for her chance to beguile the king, who easily falls prey for many beautiful lady seductive games, and he has had many. The most powerful royal lords and ladies in the kingdom made epic mistakes by misjudging Lady Mia, most so Queen Sarafina.The royals and the creme de la creme attended many luxurious parties. They dressed in the most extravagant attire to sit together at the most lavish suppers. They reside in gorgeous castles, great houses, country villas, and chateaus, scheming against one another, committing deadly treason, repulsive incest, shocking adultery, distasteful family hatred, and horrifying murder committed in a very sinful, still godly manner, weaved in this story with a surprising twist.
To do good things requires knowing yourself and at least something about others. These are both substantial activities and experiences in life. It takes learning (sometimes unlearning) and also to know there is pacing as to how these things can and do happen. It is not intended to primarily aspire to great achievements, although things sometimes feel that way and I can honestly say to have experienced peaks and lows and found my way to travel back and forth without overshooting either way. A nice way to look at it is to be able to navigate that which we are already doing, and of course, there can be room for more if wanted.The happenings of the various types of people and situations, and yes, issues, are very much relevant to the understanding of ourselves. They are not all significant but accumulate they will, and knowing who one has been, one would think it a desirable prospect to explore. If some already have a good idea, then all is well and good for that purpose. But the experiences I have had in life are varied, and although dramatic enough, I seem to have escaped going into the haphazard category-although it seems sometimes I scratched upon it.The background is not as important as the realities in which we are all involved. Sometimes heavy, sometimes easily and enjoyably manageable, it is okay to face the range of things with a confident-if not cautious-approach.I believe it is safe and rewarding and sometimes emotional and difficult. But this book has a positive purpose. And with the often-used expression to those who accept it, "e;with a little help from above,"e; this overview of how not to feel buried in this complicated life is a concise push to what seems important. And resting and relaxing and utilizing energy that way is certainly included in that.
The author's name is Marion Michael Dees. He is sixty-four years old. He has worked in construction of one kind or another for most of his life, about forty-five years. Back in November of 2020, he found out he had a blood clot in his lungs and went into AFib. He was in and out of the hospital until August of 2021, when they finally did a procedure to stop his heart from going into AFib. During this time, he had a lot of downtime when he could not work or had to work from home. It was during this time that he started writing this book. Because of his love for South Dakota, he wanted to make his story about that area and its history. Although this is a fictional story with some actual facts, much liberation has been taken. However, it is based on actual locations and times that reflect the kind of events that could happen and some that did happen during this period. He hopes the readers will enjoy their journey back in time. He thanks them for reading his book.
Christmas can be a time of magic. And this Christmas, Patrick, his parents, and his faithful friend, Foofi, believed.
For the first time in my life, I had to fight for it. COVID attacked me, my family, and the world. Being a trauma nurse in the emergency department, I often find myself (as do all of my coworkers) meeting people on the worst day of their lives. Now for the first time, I started meeting people during the worst time of mine.This book is written to illustrate how we should be able to fight the devastating effects of this virus together. There is an army that is available to everyone, and every single person can become part of the army that everyone needs in their life. We can focus this army to support one another, or to tear us apart because someone thinks differently than we do. This is an age-old problem that continues to face us today, something I call self-righteous indignation. It continues to tear apart our friends, families, and even countries. We need each other's strengths, not each other's opinions.There is a person in that medical bed-someone with family, friends, and a health care team. They need us. They need support. But so do those who are on the outside looking in. I hope this book offers a glimpse into what it was like to be a caregiver who found himself changing from bedside care to needing care from the other side of the bed and to see how that need extended into my family and friends.

Midas is an African gray parrot that was rescued in 2007. After posting some of our conversations on social media, many friends fell in love with the "e;cantankerous"e; old bird whose ability to be part of the conversation. He may be the cause of frustration one day but smiling about it the next because we live in the hood; we don't know what he is going to request or, should I say, demand at any given time. He has stopped us from arguing and made us laugh, left us wondering where he heard that from (as if we didn't know) and kept us in constant awe at his many phrases. There will only be one time when we cry because of Midas, which also means that the house will be very quiet. I hope that time doesn't happen for a very long time.

To others to be used.Who should he trust? Too many in and out of government have their own personal agendas. So does he. His beliefs about government are based upon essentially three human qualities--a passion for power and where it can take one, personal freedom, not given by the laws of government but by God; and the recognition that none of us are angels.Why does he visit the country of his grandparents, Sicily? What is he looking for, and where will it take him with his beliefs strengthened or compromise to get along as do many?
Always Turn Down the First Offer: Memoirs of a Sportscaster is much more than a diary of one person's recollections working on television and radio in markets ranging in size from the smallest worked in Los Alamos, New Mexico, to the largest, the Big Apple, New York City. It portrays a nostalgic journey through a foregone era from the late 1960s to the somewhat more recent early 2000s. It gives you insight into a sportscaster's up-close and personal dealings on a daily basis with some of America's greatest athletes, teams, coaches, and other broadcasters of that time period. No punches are pulled in describing the highs and lows and the politics involved in the business of broadcasting. For those who may be interested in entering the profession themselves, there are lessons to be learned here.
