The Whisper Lion is a fun and thoughtful story great for children of any age. Sometimes it can be discouraging to grow up in a big world full of other "e;scary"e; animals, but learning to value our own uniqueness to overcome challenges and seek answers is a great lesson for any cub to learn. This book is able to do that by creatively showing the value of being quiet and calm as well, which I'm sure is a virtue that any parent would love too!
Today started as any other day, with the exception that today, I was getting a typewriter to start my cookbook. On May 10, 2013, my wife was looking for a recipe for a jalapeno quiche to prepare for Mother's Day, May 12. As my wife was looking for this recipe, she looked through this big pile of papers. She made a "e;throw-away pile"e; and a "e;keep pile."e; I had an "e;aha"e; moment, much like Oprah has from time to time; most of you can relate too. My thought was something like, This one man's trash is another man's treasure, recipes that endearing clients and friends had given us throughout the years. And as I picked up the pile and looking and reading through the recipes, this flood of memories surrounded me; the pile she has gathered is 90 percent recipes. I am one short of 100. Wow!The cover of this work was painted by the artist: Annabelle C. Doan
The genesis of Your Personal Power Pyramid is a letter that was written to our son, Jordan, as he commenced from middle school to high school, and the initial transcript was penned to provide Jordan and his two cousins a simple five-component tool to remind them daily what they must do to be successful. The four cornerstones and capstone of the pyramid provide visual reference points for the five operative principles-action, attitude, awareness, alliances, and affirmation. The reader is also able to remember these principles on one hand with five digits.The pyramid and its five components provide the reader, as well, with a simple commitment device to focus on daily choices in his or her own journey along the paths of life.In short, the book challenges you to decide each day whether you will fill that day with pain or gain. The book encourages you to take control of your life and not get what you get by a default mode in permitting the world to give you results and consequences that are likely not in your best interests. At the same time, the book cautions that you are not the center of the universe and that you likely did not secure success on your own. Spirit may have been the critical factor. As a result, humble people on balance are the most successful in the long run.To begin is to be half done. Let us dare to be wise and begin.
Why Me?Many times in life, when we are going through a difficult situation, we tend to ask, "e;Why me?"e; But the question should be, "e;Why not me?"e; I am reminded of the book of Job and how God allowed Satan to torment Job to test his faith and how he was rewarded in the end. I hope this book is able to inspire those who are going through struggles in life, and how important it is for us to keep our faith and remain positive with any endeavor we face in life.

This book is dedicated to all those who have been adopted and gone through similar situations. This is also for those who have adopted children. Each of us is different, yet we share common feelings and situations. Life is a journey that we all must explore and come to our own destination. I believe "e;fear of the unknown is often worse than the fear at hand."e; Don't let fear and your past dictate who you become, and don't let it hold you back or become your crutch in life. Let your spirit soar and live to your fullest potential. Remember that our past makes us the person we are today.Writing this book was very difficult. As a child, I was always taught that we don't talk about what goes on at home. Children's services was the enemy, and we don't tell them anything. Yet here I am, faced with a difficult decision of writing this book or not. Then I found this quote, and it changed my life!Sometimes what you're most afraid of doing is the very thing that will set you free. (Robert Tew)Thelma Merkle tells the story as she remembers it. It is through the eyes of a child and later an adult. The trauma experienced is not uncommon to many children and families. My hope is that you can see what a child who is adopted goes through and how this can affect them as they grow into adults. Adoption is a lifelong process. This is one example of many, so I encourage you to learn as much as you can about adoptees and their past. I also hope that anyone who is living in a similar situation will see that children's services is not the enemy, and they can help if you let them.

On June 1, 2019, my grandmother, Christine Helen Wallace, went to be with the Lord. This life-changing experience led me on a journey resulting in a shift from operating under a childlike system to an adult one. This journey occurs over a three-week period where God gives me an opportunity to change how I spoke, how I understood, and I how I thought. After the passing of my grandmother, I realized I could no longer continue to operate under my childlike system. It was time for me to grow up and be the daughter that God intended me to be! God gave me this opportunity by opening the door for me to take a three-week leave of absence from work. After my grandmother's funeral, the journey began.This journey involved changing my operating system, which led to the development of I Put Away. I Put Away comes from the biblical scripture, 1 Corinthians 13:11 (KJV), that says "e;When I was a child, I [spoke] as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became an [adult], I put away childish things."e; I Put Away is about me moving from a childlike system of speaking, understanding, and thinking to an adult one.I am an adult; however, I was using my childlike SUT (speaking, understanding, thinking) system. No, I was not having temper-tantrums, but my speech was incoherent at times; my understanding was not logical, sensible, or rational; and my thinking was muddled, unclear, and confused! Yes, I was a bit of a mess, "e;But God!"e; God began to take me through a transitioning process where I move into this adult system-a system where I am able to speak, understand, and think clearly. I will not discard my child SUT system because it is what made me who I am today. I will just keep it in my back pocket. However, operating under my adult SUT system is what is making me a better me.I invite you into my transitioning journey of I Put Away. You never know, my testimony may make you a better you!
I was seriously minding my own business when I had a supernatural encounter with God, which seemed like out of a Steven Spielberg movie. I no longer can consider myself agnostic after that.

The young man, Austin, went through boyhood challenges, as many boys do, but as a man, he faced challenges that almost destroyed his life. He had plans and big dreams, but then after he did some personal research on the computer, the police arrived at his home, and he was arrested. His dreams were shattered. His parents were standing by his side and giving all the love and support they had to give. Their faith was tried, and they were not going to back down or give up. Austin is a man that serves God and has a desire to help others when he can, but now he has to use extreme caution and be on his guard around people he didn't know because his trust in people was shaken.
Desde tiempos que ya no existen en la memoria del hombre, cuando uno, que entonces era el hijo preferido de Dios, y que entonces le llamaron Luz Bella porque era un Angel de luz, la humanidad y la Creacion han estado expuestas al desprecio de este tan amado por Dios Angel. Este privilegiado ser, debido a su arrogancia y soberbia (el peor de los pecados), se rebelo contra su Creador, y desprecio al Amor, ese sentimiento que da vida y todo lo necesario. Desde entonces, y despues de su humillante derrota de manos del arcangel Miguel, el mas humilde de los arcangeles, y de su destierro del Cielo, Luz Bella juro destruir la creacion, y cada vez que tiene oportunidad, hace caer al hombre por medio de enganos y mentiras, no desaprovecha el momento, claro que el hombre no es del todo inocente, porque bien que sabemos lo que es bueno y lo que es malo, mas echarle la culpa al Diablo es muy conveniente porque pensamos que de esta manera nos libramos de nuestros pecados y esto ha pasado desde los tiempos biblicos. El Adversario, que es el verdadero nombre del Demonio, continuamente nos tienta para que el Creador mire que no merecemos su favor, y tal es el porque de la vida de Carlos, que desde su nacimiento fue consecuencia de una serie de nefastas coincidencias causadas por las debilidades del hombre y las sugerencias del Adversario.Esmeralda, madre de Carlos, fue una victima escogida y planificada durante varias generaciones para ser quien trajera al mundo a alguien que representara al Adversario aqui en el mundo, y quien tendria poderes sobrenaturales para llegar a ser un hombre muy poderoso, pero muy destructivo para la humanidad. Solamente que Rafael quien ha perseguido a los demonios desde tiempo inmemorable, vino al mundo para ayudarnos.

El amor que vale para todos los dias, devocionales diarios para matrimonios.El verdadero significado de la vida esta en amar a Dios y al projimo sin importar quien eres o que haces. Lo importante es amar, porque el amor es el ingrediente perfecto que da la sazon mas importante de toda relacion significativa y es fundamental para una verdadera vida en Jesucristo, porque tu calidad de vida se relaciona directamente con la cantidad de amor que fluye en ti, y a traves de ti hacia los demas. Aunque a menudo se pasa por alto, el amor vale mucho mas que las riquezas y la fama, o el honor, o la lujuria; estas cosas pasaran, pero el amor permanece. Puedes sentirte satisfecho sin las demas cosas, pero no sin amor. La ausencia de amor dejara un vacio demoledor. Cuando no esta presente tu espiritualidad, tus obras se tornan egoistas y pocos sinceros, si el amor no es la motivacion, sera desabrida sin amor e insatisfactoria y carecera de sentido.

Within these passages lies a tale of atonement. Punishment, though not without compassion, is entwined with interplanar wars of apocalyptic proportion by the stoic tutelage of Halo, the Paladin Lord. Trespassers of his tenets try to salvage their dignity, yet groomed in discipline and tact are those that have caused offense. Through a training course which tests the very fabric of the soul, the lines of alter-realities, and the paradox of time travel intermingle. Planar defenders attempt to sew the rifts between tradition and innovation. Intimate knowledge of trespasses and morality of the spirit realm lie as a foundation for the physicality. The deviations of reality are played out in a hallucination that questions science, sorcery, and sexuality.
What Love Looks Like Humans, dream. Big, strong dreams of the need to love and be loved. Fragments of these are scattered throughout the dreams of others. And although these hungers may occasionally sag, fly off, or lie dormant, few of us abandon the search for an essential connection, one which can occur between those of disparate ages, cultures, backgrounds. Or it may be a compelling attachment to a place, or purpose. This pursuit may evolve slowly. Or it might appear straightaway, without warning. Or, it may never succeed. Glitches arise to confound the quest - betrayal or disappointment, hesitation or denial. Each character in these stories is thrust from a seemingly uneventful existence into a reckoning of love that demands a life-altering decision. At the end, we are left with awakened insights which will return to our hearts time and again. Die with memories, not dreams, Andra WatkinsPeople change and forget to tell each other, Lillian Hellman

Northern Vermont, 1918. A year like no other ushered in by a brutal cold snap for much of New England, cruel winds in subfreezing temperatures imperiling scanty reserves of fuel. Meanwhile, the Great War raged on and millions of doughboys were answering the call for duty, including droves of underage enlistees. Even worse, a deadlier enemy reached American shores in the form of the Spanish flu. The virus struck fast and violently, some victims dying within hours of their first symptoms while others surviving only a few days. There was no cure. During this dark and dangerous time, teenage runaway Henry Cameron finds refuge in Vermont as a stable boy for a retired and war-weary cavalry lieutenant. As horses bring ambition and purpose into their lives, the two kindred spirits discover how they're more alike than not, and how their broken souls are mending as they forge a bond with each other. All of this takes time along with the saving grace that only the pure love of horses can provide. For all who have feared, grieved or felt alone, this tale of friendship and hope will pull at the heartstrings and arouse emotions long after the book is finished. It will burrow into the lives of those cursed by tragedy and help transport them from collapse to resilience, in the process creating acceptance, forgiveness, and peace.
