Imagine sometime in the distant past, before modern and organized societies, and several thousand years after the dinosaurs roamed the earth, a time when the earth was still relatively uninhabited other than tribes that roamed the planet across the varied continents. Suddenly, there are advanced colonies scattered across the planet that have the skill and knowledge to build great pyramids, build ships that can sail great distances and navigate based upon the stars, people with knowledge of the cosmos and mathematics.One such colony has sprung up along the coast of what is now known as central California, a village of perhaps two-hundred-plus souls who have come from far away. Among these are a young man and a young woman who have fallen in love but must overcome the embodiment of evil itself. They also must search for the object that will tell of their past and of their origins-an object that is critical to the successful continuation of their future and of the future of generations to come.

K Dorm in 90 Days is a true story of life, how one's life can change in a matter of minutes. K Dorm in 90 Days will speak to loved ones at home and to the inmates that are living the hell we call incarceration. It is a real-life story of a man that had everything he needed in life but chose to make poor decisions that had him see life on the other side of concrete walls.K Dorm tells a story about how daily life in jail or prison affects not only the one incarcerated but also the family on the outside, how jail hurts a family and can tear them apart. It, hopefully, can speak to the loved ones and tell them how an incarcerated person's mind deals with the isolation and pain, how days can be long and nights even longer. It will speak of how one word can make a man sleep well or not be able to sleep for nights.K Dorm speaks to the inmates on not only how our decisions can isolate and put us behind bars but also how it sends our families to jail on the outside; how they live the life of worry, anger, and pain; how our actions affect them every day we are gone; and how it changes their thoughts on how to live going forward.K Dorm also speaks about how the system is broken in many ways. Once a criminal, always a criminal. It speaks about how people with a record are treated and how it is hard to ever be allowed back into society, be forgiven, and truly be given a second chance; how our system takes advantage of inmates' desperation and profits on the backs of our families.Rehabilitation or pure humiliation-you decide as you go into the life of a man who had land, a family, college education, and everything he needed but ended up seeing the life on the other side of the steel door and lost it all.

This book is designed as an act of protection to those who will heed its wisdom and warnings. It is my sincere desire to guard the readers from a premature death. The book covers everything from accidents around the home, accidents with motor vehicles, lack of knowledge, natural problems with nature (like lightning and tornadoes), encounters with violent people, self-destructive acts of stupidity, and being in the wrong place at the wrong time, just to name a few. If we listen closely, death is knocking at the door. I do not say that to cause you to be paranoid, but I have found in many situations our lives could be spared if we had given attention to the situation before it happened. I have been spared in several situations written about in the book by simply asking myself the question, "e;What would you do if this were to happen?"e;You would be surprised how the answer will come to you in that given moment of crisis. This book could possibly save your life!

The book from the author's perspective is about someone who came to golf late. He has a conflicted look back in time when he began playing golf, knowing now he did not see the whole picture but only that he wanted to play golf. No consideration of what playing golf would entail. He knows very well a clear-headed and well-thought-out approach to start playing golf probably would have stymied or created mental crutches rather than playing golf. He would have discovered reasons not to play. He obviously did not think of the "e;driver first"e; approach-to start with the driver and find out what to expect going forward. The bulk of the book is not about golf. It is about being an adult when he decided to start playing golf. Some of what happened on and off the golf course. It is not about the fine points of a good golf game.

This is the fourth book in a series by the third person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit. This scribe is privileged to continue carrying out the duties of His work as it appears. Thank you, Lord!The main goal of these books is to establish and increase the "e;connective awareness"e; of humanity between science and religion in the world and invite the two to work together to unfold the mysteries of God and His creation so that in the final analysis, both will be able to help all of God's creation, especially the human race who lives in the middle of cosmic struggles between good and evil in these confusing times.Today we are dominated by science and its innovations. But has science released humanity from the fundamental inclinations of religion, or rather has religion and religious influences predetermined the motivations of science? Do mathematical laws of science religiously underlie the explanation of the phenomenon that is observable fact or event? What is the purpose of religion? Is it only to teach the knowledge of God, but not science? It may be that experimental, scientific, religious philosophy could make us better-informed scientists and Christians.The seventeenth-century Roman Catholic scientist and professor Fr. Galileo Galilei pointed out that the purpose of religion is to teach the knowledge of God. What did we accomplish with the separate teachings of religion and the study of science throughout the ages? Did they help each other during the last seven thousand years? Today, is there unity or an entanglement between them? Is God the source of all scientific and religious order in the world? Can science answer the questions of religion, or rather, can religion attempt to answer scientific questions? Do the Holy Scriptures and scientific inquiries provide all the answers to our questions? Is there a relationship between religion and science? Do religion and science complement each other, and if not, why is that?The questions listed above are only some of them. No answers are yet being provided. What about the involvement of mind work to explain the relationship between faith and reason? Humanity likes to see science and religion united and working together to provide credible answers. After all, in the beginning, they were for the works of God on this earth and in the universe. The astonishing days of the Creator are approaching steadily, slowly, day by day. We long for answers with our conscious hearts so that we can gain presence with the Divine Light. It is presentation time!The nineteenth-century Scottish Catholic scientist, the great physicist since Isaac Newton, a professor at the University of Cambridge, James Clark Maxwell, who wrote his first scientific paper at the age of fourteen and died at the early age of forty-eight, declared scientifically that the universe is continuously surged with electromagnetic waves. Their speed of travel is the same as the speed of light. His proven theoretical equations were revealed for the first time in the world and showed that electricity-magnetism-light is one and the same manifestation in the material universe. Upon his death, he was not buried in Westminster Abbey like Isaac Newton was, but he had not minded it at all, not even a bit! He said, "e;The works of the Lord are great! Sort out all of them that have pleasure therein."e;Happy is the man who sees that science and religion are one and the same. According to the great scientist Max Planck, a man who does serious scientific work, knows that "e;over the doors of the Temple of Science you must have faith!"e;Creator God is the source of all order in the universe. He is exact; look around and see. There is a field in and around the universe surrounding His creation. It is the heartfelt wish of this scribe that humanity shall see it one day and then never lose the investigative desires of their hearts and minds. "e;Faith"e; and "e;reason"e; of religion and science are one and the same in the eyes of God. They come from the same creative force of His. One day in the near future, they will be united and presented on earth as one. That is the way it is above, and so it will be the fact on earth below. This is the Divine Plan of the Divine Lawgiver, the Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Omniscient God Almighty!
This is for my children and my children's children so that they may know that their father/grandfather served his country along with 2,909,918 other men and women in uniform in Vietnam. Most of these men and woman remained loyal to their oath as military personnel and served with honor and distinction. I want them to know that our efforts and sacrifices were undermined at every turn of the event by the American people, the American press, and self-centered politicians through lies, propaganda, and treason on a scale so large it was unstoppable. And finally forced the government to abandon its troops on the field of battle to fend for ourselves. That they may also see the real truth surrounding the Vietnam War and the war that has raged within me these past fifty-plus years.These words were engendered by a comment I heard on television. It angered me enough to conduct a personal investigation to see if the nine lines written above were just a figment of my imagination or what I felt to be true in my heart. This investigation has culminated with mixed feelings. It saddens me that what I felt in my heart is true; however, I am elated that my investigation serves as a vindication of all the Vietnam veterans, both men and women, who remained loyal to their oath as soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines. I am elated that there is finally a book that countermands the lies and propaganda that have carried on from the '60s to this very day and that it shows the Vietnam veterans as the loyal and honorable men and women they have proven themselves to be.

Diane Lynn lived in Westfield, Massachusetts, most of her life, and she went to Stanley Park all through her life, and that's where she was inspired to write this story. It is a delightful story about chipmunks and their friends being happy in the park and having fun chasing each other in the park. She hopes you enjoy reading this story as much as she enjoys writing this story.
Niketa was seventeen, likable, adventurous, and curious about everything, especially life. He lived in the early 1900s outside a small village in the southwestern part of Russia with his father, mother, and six siblings. They were a wealthy farming family. He was the youngest of the children, and everyone loved him. He lived a peaceful life-that is, until he saved his cousin's life. That day changed everything. He was on top of the world one day, but then life began to change-changes that led to the betrayal of his brother, a serious injury, death, and his running away from his family and himself.He did the one thing he always did when confused. He ran away. But life as we know it has many twists and turns, and in Niketa's life, it became disastrous. He ran away from his family and traveled to Minsk where he believed his grandfather would help him find himself and the answers he was looking for. On his journey to Minsk, Niketa met William, a young university student who was a Bolshevik and had recently escaped from a Russian Gulag. William had been trying to change the world in tsarist Russia, and Niketa became enthralled with William's ideals. However, Niketa also found that a Cossack captain was tracking William, and it seemed as if the captain always knew where they were going. The captain was also a fiend, a thug from the Gulag who would stop at nothing to find William and take him back to the Gulag-dead or alive. Although Niketa found understanding with William and a way out of some of his problems, he also found more hurt and death.

The story of one man's journey throughout a lifetime to reach a deeper understanding of faith while remaining true to his own revelations. A search that led him to like-minded people so that he might finally be able to practice his convictions without ridicule of the mystic he had become. A place where mystics have been accepted for two millennia and still is to this day. This is a timely look at the importance of faith in everyone's life and their own very personal journey to a relationship with their higher power. An understanding outside the influences of others and the acceptance we should all have of the various avenues to God.
