A Sprinkling of Stardust over the Outhouse is the long-awaited follow-up to Paul Brogan's highly successful first book, Was That a Name I Dropped? released in 2011.Paul came out as gay when he was ten in the early 1960s and faced a number of obstacles for doing so. He approached them without losing sight of who he was, eventually winning over the naysayers who urged him to be someone other than himself.A Sprinkling of Stardust is a true story that is rich in detail as it tells Paul's story with humor and heart as well as harsh and sometimes shockingly brutal reality.In the 1980s, playing the starring role in a musical production of Peter Pan, Paul Brogan sang the song "Never Never Land." The lyrics "I have a place where dreams are born, and time is never planned. It's not on any chart. You must find it with your heart. Never Never Land" had a great deal of meaning to Paul. Frequently he found himself getting choked up as he sang them.After coming out at the age of ten, Paul created his own Never Never Land. It represented a safe haven, a refuge where he could do and be himself. It was a place to which he escaped after being sexually abused, raped, and suffering a series of life-threatening health issues.His latest book is not a sequel to his 2011 best-seller, Was That a Name I Dropped? Instead, it is the rest of the story told in the same frank and honest manner that earned him kudos for the first book.It is funny, sexy, insightful, moving, and will have the viewer turning away in shock and horror in some instances. Ultimately, it is life.Enthusiastic Response to Paul Brogan's WritingWas That a Name I Dropped? is even more rare. It is a must-read, and incredible journey and the fastest and most enticing 532 pages I have enjoyed in years. (Tommy Lightfoot Garrett, Canyon News, June 19, 2011)Paul has now written a top-flight memoir, which has the narrative flow of a Dickensian novel. (David Kaufman, celebrated New York author of Ridiculous! The Theatrical Life and Times of Charles Ludlam [2002] and Doris Day: The Untold Story of the Girl Next Door [2008], May 30, 2011)It was a nice mixture of personal tragedy and high-octane gossip, and of course we all love titillation." (Rex Reed, columnist, June 8, 2011)I also HIGHLY recommend Was That a Name I Dropped? by Paul Brogan. Paul has known EVERYONE in Hollywood. It is an incredible memoir accounting an incredible journey! (Richard Skipper; celebrated producer, performer, and writer; December 10, 2011)
Después de nadar por muchos años, un día me di cuenta de que lo que nos hace flotar y nadar, son nuestros pulmones al usarlos como flotadores; lo hacemos por instinto. También me di cuenta de que sabiendo trabajar nuestros pulmones, tenemos más oportunidad de supervivencia al quedar atrapados en alguna corriente. Por esa razón me di a la tarea de explicar mis experiencias porque muchas personas mueren ahogadas cada año en diferentes ríos y lagos, incluyendo personas que saben nadar; no seas una estadística más. En este libro, "¡No grites! Salva tu vida", entenderás el porqué.Además, contiene una historia de amor y aventuras, y recuerda:¡No grites! Salva tu vidaAfter swimming for many years, I realized that what makes us float are our lungs when we use them as floats; we do it instinctively. I also realized that knowing how to work our lungs, we have a better chance of survival if we ever get trapped in a strong current. For that reason, I began to explain my experiences because many people drown each year in different rivers and lakes, including those who know how to swim; don't be just another statistic. In this book, "Don't scream! Instead, Save Your Life", you will understand why. In addition, it contains a story of love and adventures, and remember:Don't Scream! Instead, Save Your Life
We have heard some ministers say that it is your belief that will send you to hell and not your sins, and this can be misleading. Because some of you might be deceived into thinking that you can keep sinning as long as you believe there is a God. Not only are some of you living your lives to reflect that kind of thinking, you are expressing it from your mouth. If one does not repent and remove from him his sins, he does not profit his soul any good thing. Remember, repenting is part of the process to become sanctified. All sins, big and small, shall be repented of and forgiven. And remember also, have you forgiven so that your sins can be forgiven you also? It all works together for your salvation to be intact. If you die with any of these sins still part of you, which you have not bothered to repent off, my Bible tells me that you cannot enter the kingdom of God. Think about this, if you really believe there is a God, and there is, you are going to come to a point where you are going to not want to sin before Him and get right with Him. You're going to judge your own self, because your conscience is going to weigh you down. Don't focus on the sugarcoated babblings of man and his weak human wisdom, but do focus on the precious bloodshed mercy of Jesus. Those sins that yield short-lived pleasure are only temporary and lead directly to the gates of hell, but your salvation leads directly to Jesus through eternity. Be on the safe side; just repent and get right with God. It is the only way!This book was written for personal enrichment and Christian training. It gives the reader clear, easy instructions and Scripture references for the reader to research. This book appeals to young people to make that change in their lives that Jesus is calling for. There is also a worksheet to help the reader interact with the book.If you would like to give me your thoughts about the book and whether it answered any of your concerns, send them at Christine.adrow@gmail.com.
This is a story of love and evil. This is how evil will always try to control good. How a boy has to be a man and how cruel people can be in today's time. This is the story of falling in love with someone and never being able to share that love. How that feeling led that boy to stay in the mental state that he felt robbed of everything he held dear. The war he had was directed at God. He had nothing to live for. If he could see this God, then he could have his revenge for making his life so strange. But he would live through many trials and tribulations and learn that God had another plan for him. It would be a mission impossible. To live by faith and not by sight.
And to live by faith was all he had. He had no choice but to go to God. All the doors of justice were closed to him. And in going to God, he was told to paint and write. This was a world he would find peace, away from all the lies and liars. He found a world of his own that hides a lot of the pain. The more pain the people gave him, the more he would paint that pain. Then in his spirit world, he wrote the poems that went with these paintings. He must not sell them, for all were a part of him. The more he listened to his calling, the more paintings he received, the more writing that came with them. It was controlling him. He wanted to think and feel like everyone else. He was driven by the force of God.
I have used my experiences to produce this work. It contains some fiction as well as nonfiction. I wanted you to feel everything I have felt and want to experience even more. I have included not only thoughts but also promises. Each one carried some of my own heartfelt images but also some of my own blood. I hope you enjoyed the book and look forward to the next in the series as I look forward to bringing it to you. Until next time.

Police work is not a glamorous career. It is about serving the community through dedication and devotion to duty, regardless of race or ethnic background, making numerous sacrifices along the way. Police officers come from all walks of life, male and female. You are about to learn that there is good and bad in law enforcement as there is in every profession. You will learn about the trials and tribunes that your police officers experience throughout their careers on a daily basis. You will see that the vast majority of cops are good and that the bad cops are weeded out, removed from police work, and punished just as they should be. This story is based on actual experiences and facts surrounding a seasoned law enforcement officer's career. You will read about the struggles that the officer encountered during his childhood, leading him to his chosen profession. You will also learn about how that same officer served the people and the country he so loved. So, before you are quick to believe the media, the administrators, and politicians that bash your police, know that you can't judge a cop by its cover.
In this semi-biographical work, R. D. McCord uses fifty-two loosely connected stories that document leaving a 1957 Northeast Alabama sharecropper farm for duty with the US Naval Security Group on the island of Oahu. The coming-of-age vignettes center on Hawaii's last year as a territory and first as a state. Passing through the pages is a hodgepodge of twenty-odd characters that manned Bravo watch at radio station Wahiawa. For the better part of four years, the young sailors brought humor, camaraderie, romance, and adventure to the island, making the Navy and Hawaii a better place. The publication coincides closely with the sixty-second statehood anniversary of the paradisiacal islands.96
The purpose of this textbook is to provide a basic understanding of scientific principles to help people and students who are interested in entering various professions and occupations involving chemistry and biology, scientific method, atomic theory, molecules and moles, the periodic table of elements, pH in terms of acids and bases, and organic chemistry. We shall also look at living things, cells, cell division, anatomy, and physiology (with particular emphasis on the cardiovascular system, circulatory system, the central nervous system, respiratory system, and the lymphatic system as it relates to immunology). There will be some discussion about nutrition, as well as a survey of genetics including the structures of DNA, duplication of DNA, RNA structure, and protein synthesis. There will be a very brief discussion of basic physics, optics, sound, astronomy, geology, and meteorology (which will help us understand how weather forecasters determine our weather from day to day).Some mention of African American men and women who made major contributions to math and science is included to let people know that regardless of one's color, we all have the ability to handle various professions and occupations in science or math at any level. High school students, community college students, and people who desire a basic understanding of science, as it relates to our everyday living, are encouraged to read this book. Thank you for your time.
Two Plays on Revenge and History compares the human spirit to feelings of nobility and despair in order to resolve the struggles within our character overtime. The developments found within these plays are sometimes lofty and sometimes treacherous and low. When Desmondo speaks of despair, he is not speaking to others. He is speaking to his enlightened purpose as a revenger. When Shaman tells his nephew the story of all he knows, he, in turn, reaches the very summits of nobility in a single story told outright. Ultimately, we come to learn that the human condition must be examined and that it is our nature to ascend to the greater heights of dignity but also to conceive of new problems, as is the case in the baser impulse of revenge!

I believe the Bible is no use to us unless we learn to apply it correctly and directly to our day-to-day life and progress. People will fail you because we are only humans who are in need of a Savior. However, God's applied word will never fail you, especially during tough times.I believe that the best way to apply God's word is to study it every day. Get into a Bible-believing church and spend time around Bible-believing Christians. Have a regular prayer life alone where you tell God how great He is by praising Him. Next, thank Him daily for all the things He has done for you. Then, lastly, ask Him for what you need in the name of Jesus. Thank Him for providing what you need. Memorize relevant biblical scriptures and recite those scriptures while you are praying. Doing this will help build your relationship with God. Place your faith only in Christ and Him crucified and Him alone.Your prayers should always agree with what the Bible says God wants for you. The more of the Bible you know, the better relationship you will have with God who wants to bless you so that you can be a blessing to others. Do not spend much time with anyone who says the opposite.Did you know that you can thank God all day? While you are standing in line or while you are at a red light or even if you are waiting for the bus. Thank God in the name of Jesus in your spare time and in your planned time.Doing this will create an atmosphere of praise inside you. It will help keep you out of trouble and prepare you for when you open the Bible for your time with God.Twitter: @samuelwritesInstagram: @samuelwrites
I grew up in the forties and fifties, when the news was local. We didn't know much about what was going on outside our town for two or three days. There was no multimedia, and today's front-page news was on page 20 the next day. But when a man beat his wife or if the wife beat her husband, it was the talk of the town; everybody knew it. It has always been considered a disgrace for a man to beat a woman. The shame abusing your wife or girlfriend is something that no one agrees with.This is a story about me and the things that suffered through for much of my adult life. The very first time I hit a woman, I knew that it was wrong, and the guilt started to consume me right away. I found myself doing it again. I was slow to realize that I had started to decline mentally because I could not shake the enmity feeling. My life would go on a fifty-year cycle of shame, guilt, fear, and loneliness. I crawled into my shell and let no one know the pain that I felt.There are a lot of people who feel the same way that I do, but they don't bother to reveal themselves. Women are just as ashamed as men are because most of the time, they feel that it is their fault they let us off the hook. My wife is my rock. She saved me.

When his student and close friend Oliver Smithies accepted his Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology, he singled Field out as someone who was important in his life, saying, "e;Field Morey, a distinguished flight instructor taught me to fly...but he taught me something more important than flying. He taught me that it is possible to overcome fear with knowledge."e;During his four years above the earth, throughout fifty-eight years of teaching more than one thousand pilots, Field overcame fear, faced weather, set records, had abundant fun...and as he puts it, "e;learned from my students...probably more than I taught."e;Since he grew up in an aviation family, it was expected that Field would fly. A contemporary of Charles Lindbergh, his father, Howard, taught him about airplanes, about operating an airport, about character and responsibility, while Lindbergh inspired him to imagine more and aim higher. Twice the FAA named Field Flight Instructor of the Year. Later, his name was added to the Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award. Along with Oliver Smithies, the pair set a world record, and when the Aviation Hall of Fame inducted him, it was a career highlight.In this memoir, Field recounts his coming-of-age in aviation and relates stories of memorable flights and remarkable adventures. With an awareness that his story is also his students' story, he recognizes the privilege of having been born when he was and pays tribute to his father, Howard Morey, an exemplary aviation pioneer, by thanking him every day for guiding him in the right direction.Yes, this is a story about flying, but it is much more. It is a study of how excellence evolves, not always in a linear progression, but with passion and vision.
The most powerful spirit effect is parents seeing their children very sick or children seeing their parents very sick.Little Ann, the twelfth child, while recovering from lymph node surgery herself, saw transient ischemic warnings that resolves on its own in her mother; spells that were confusing.The impact of never knowing if little Ann's mother will be there for her picture day or to pick her up from school kept her brainstorming on what to do next. Then the blood clot occluded a main cerebral vessel, causing her mother to be comatose for months while little Ann feeds, communicates, and pledges in her heart the Girl Scout Promise and Law, for her mother's sake and the world. Changing schools and crossing railroad tracks home to see her mother awakens to her unique tribe of children gone wild.Nourishing her mother with music from her violin during the stages of the schools closing and the transition from segregated bus rides in the community to integrated schools seven miles away, the change caused little Ann to listen and work hard. The magic of the gut-feeling of faith, "e;seeking the best consequences"e; came with a bit of fear, and the only one to graduate from the tribe before the hemorrhagic stroke took her mother. Suddenly, it hit Ann: "e;Write to the right one."e; The "e;right president."e;Do you hear me? Thank you for listening!

Learning My ABCs with Mattie is a book to help parents understand how important their child's education is. This book will guide the parents to help them with the importance of learning their ABCs. By doing so, children will develop word pronunciation, spelling, and writing. Once the child learns their alphabet and the beginning sound of each letter, they can begin forming words.

This is a tool that is necessary for young learners to use in order to build up basic skills in math (twenty-six letters in the alphabet), matching (words to alphabet), language (developing small words), and phonological awareness (uppercase and lowercase letters), among others. Children will be capable of learning how to read and understand what they are reading and also to ask questions as well. When children gain knowledge of the alphabet, it piques their curiosity to learn and explore. By reading, it builds social and communication skills, which help them to understand the plot of the story and discussing what is happening and also to spark something in them to ask question and fantasize as if they were the characters. Mattie is asking the children to sing the ABC with her and motivating them as well.

On December 3, 1996, at 4:10 pm, Judge Michael Lyon of the District Court of Weber County, State of Utah, sent a man to prison for a crime committed and confessed to by another man. Prior to imposing the final sentence, Judge Lyon made the following remarks: "e;I don't know that there is a more difficult case where a judge does more soul searching in a case where a person staunchly denies culpability and at every turn in the system pleads his innocence. We know that there are cases where people are punished for crimes they didn't do. It would just be utterly repugnant for me to think that I could send a man to prison for a crime that he did not commit... I only wish I could look inside your heart. I can't... And the only thing I can do today is do what I think is the right thing to do. And I don't know what's right..., and so I'm just doing the best that I can."e; His best sent an innocent man to prison for five years, placed him on a state sex offender registry for ten years, and was a life sentence of hatred and abuse because of a fabricated label and conviction. Innocence Beyond the Glass House-A Story of Injustice and the Final Battle for Freedom is the beginning and ending of the story. It's the truth about how one innocent man suffered then lived to tell the tale. It's a book about rebirth and trying to find peace and discovery that came at great cost. It's a look at the criminal justice system at its worst and shows how Lady Justice is not only blind but habitually deaf and dumb. This work is about survival, self-reflection, the indomitable human soul, and about love then hate, friends then enemies, acceptance followed by complete rejection from every segment of humanity, while exhibiting unparalleled endurance and hope and confidence in divine beings, which gave the author the capacity to abide lifelong suffering.
