Eugene Pierson grew up on a farm in Nebraska where he attended a one-room school for eight years with six other students. In high school he had twenty-seven classmates and was selected for boys state representative for his school. He later received a Union Pacific scholarship to the University of Nebraska, where he graduated with a BS degree; and later in his career in the pharmaceutical industry, he attended night school for an MBA from Seton Hall University. He served two years of active duty in the US Navy and is a Korean veteran. Eugene retired from an executive position in medical communication at sixty-five and formed his own company, Pharm Out, as a consultant where he traveled extensively to Europe and Southeast Asia. After several years, he retired again but took a forty-hour class to become a security officer; he now works nights at the age of eighty-seven. While patrolling at night, he was inspired by his rescue cat, Travis, to write a story about his actions and had it illustrated for publication as a picture book for children. Travis the Rescue Cat will be continued in a series of children's books.

The work indicates a variety of two hundred stories, rare and unusual, from books and conversations with astronauts, aircrews, and aviation officials and sources. This is beyond the scope of artifacts generally found in museums. Marquees alert visitors of aircraft and spacecraft, but voluminous facts are often hidden from the public and virtually unknown and avoid the human factor. For example, when the Wright brothers took to the skies, few knew their mother had taught them basic skills, like wielding a hammer. Stories within illuminate the evolution of history and technology.

I wrote this book after many people telling me throughout years of ministry that I should. I have traveled to many places, and I have found that people ask me the same question over and over, "e;Holly, how do I truly live higher?"e; I decided to write this book to simply answer that question. It is my sincere hope that after you read this book, not only will you have the insight to do just that, but you will know what it personally means to you to live in your higher life. I hope this book helps you find your true calling and purpose directly given by the Lord.As we dive into these books, into each chapter, I ask one thing only-be open. Be open to more. Let me explain. There are levels in each of us to live out our desire to live to a higher living. The desire should be there to begin. When the desire is there, access is the way-a higher level called the beyond then occurs for us. This is where living higher begins. Posture will change. There is a certain level of insight, purpose, and access that is achieved when desire grows and posture changes. There is a birthing. It is not simply living only, a mistake of thought so many make. So here is the question again, "e;How?"e; The answer is not how. It is desire, posture, and access to a higher way.Let us start with desire. The word desire is translated from the Greek word epithumia from epi, meaning "e;focused on."e; Another use of this term is "e;inordinate"e; or excessively large. It is my prayer that we have an inordinate desire to truly live higher and to focus on what this can mean for us in the same way it meant to me as I have written each chapter. It is my strong desire that we focus right now. When there is a lack of focus, vision becomes very blurry. I can recall having a blurred vision when others would ask me what living higher meant. I can even recall a time when a picture was taken of me as a child with my eyes closed. A relative later found this picture and asked me how I was able to sleep standing up while the camera caught my image.I ask us all that my relative asked me, How are we able to keep our eyes closed right now? Let us have the strong, inordinate desire to focus on the moment. This desire to open our eyes will naturally pull the camera lens to us. What happened? Nothing. We opened our eyes. After desire comes to posture. Picture posture is necessary when capturing a memory. Are we willing to change our posture for the cameras in life? It's interesting what happens after we open our eyes for the camera changes our position. Finally, we achieve access to see closer, look at, change more. The camera gives access. Access to function in life is far greater than desire or even posture, believe it or not. Haven't we all glanced at a picture that was taken of us before? Perhaps a picture that we take with others involved? These three elements are the agents for higher territory- a greater way. A new ground, and a new look from a different angle in each situation. Our camera lens must focus.

Bergilinda's Journey and the "e;Diary of Souls"e; is a fictional story about a young Arcadian woman's journey through life on a spiritual plain documented in her diary of souls. Bergilinda, known as Berg, encounters two so-called angels who she later learned may not have been angels but instead lost souls manipulating her journey and enacting revenge on her behalf. Berg's access to the world beyond provided her pathways to understand how death works and where life begins, but no matter what Berg learned, Berg realized the answers were like a winding road without conclusions.Berg's life as a young girl growing up and how she walks among past souls is a fictional tale that is full of joy, pain, and lessons learned through love, life, and the afterlife.1

Creative Whispers has been designed with the help of many friends and relatives. Life experiences of heartfelt moments became the largest part of my inspiration for the creation of my poetry. I feel my work was spiritually guided as the words would flow with ease from thought to paper expressing my deepest feelings. My hope is that I may bring comfort to at least one person with the words that come from my heart and soul.

Avenue Rise is a true story of a family who transitioned from life in the Bronx, New York, in the early 1950s to life in a small village in England. They seemed to not only deal with whatever came along, but they also enjoyed the whole experience. The word impossible was not in their vocabulary!

Hi, my name is Kayla Lynn Waterman. I am thirty-one years old. I was born in Westfield, New York, and raised in Jamestown, New York. I am married to a wonderful husband, and he is also my best friend. We have six wonderful girls, ages five to fourteen years old. They are my life. I wouldn't be who I am today without them. I began writing about my life through all the obstacles our family has been throughout many years. One of our daughters had been in and out of the hospital, and with all the memories and separation, it's been built up inside. This is for me to let people know that life is never easy, but never give up as well even if you want to. I have a best friend, and she's also my sister. Her name is Katricia Nutting. Without her bringing me up and being there for me, I wouldn't be the person I am today.

Untwisted Sister cordially invites the readers of those with obstacles of common grounds mentioned therein, who'd experienced, retrospectively, such adversities of life by reason of naivety or unawareness, whereby our universes are mathematically ordained, orderly and constructively spoken into its existing manifestation from the afterthought of God (Genesis 1:1-5). God said, and it was so; thus, the laws, bylaws, and commandments were solely God's to construct and establish, the only existing being who is, was, and is to come-the alpha and omega (Revelations 1:4).It behooved me to exclaim in the writings of this book a beginning, middle, and faith-believing end, making the reader aware of a forerunner of chaos, imbalance, and waste of precious, valued time in the earth's realm-that has no holds barred-then a transition to an orchestrated afterlife, as well as to inform you that no matter what, God Himself has already weighed the outcome of any plight-far above principalities and powers of indifference, Satan's obscured methods at distractions and diversions. Satan has misconstrued the perspectives and priorities of life's partnership belonging to God alone. Our lives here are of great significance (Deuteronomy 28:30, Joshua 1:6-9, Romans 12:1-21). The truth shall set us free, for the joy of the Lord is our strength. We were purposely created. Not to be consumed by the "e;wang dang doodles"e; that sin derives. Such high pollutants are superficially temporal. There is profound orderly guidance in revering God, the architect of our universe and the physical, mental, and spiritual fabric of our makeup. Similar to trees, let's grow, bear good fruits of gratitude and adoration to the God of glory.

Bradley feels strong and courageous when he is all "e;tucked in"e; his bed. But he discovers that he can be strong and courageous without being all "e;tucked in."e;

At age twelve, I found my salvation and got baptized. The Lord is very dear to me.We live in a pandemic and a mean and crazy time in this world. It is difficult to have a smile sometimes.We can read many books and read the words, but sometimes the words we read can bring a picture of something in our minds. That old saying is true; a picture can be worth a million dollars.We have hope, faith, trust, blessings, sorrow, joys, beauty, love, our health, and do not forget the humor. Life would be difficult without a little humor.In this book, you will learn about bubbling brooks and overflowing fountains that fill us with so much joy. You will have a smile that will not fade because of a man named, "e;Jesus."e;Look up in the sky and see those gorgeous rainbows and the many stars, and do not forget the moon that puts so much light out for us so we do not have to be in the dark. God said let it be, and it was.But most importantly, you will learn about Jesus Christ, our Savior. I do not know where we would be without him. We receive all of the second chances but do not deserve it. Living right is made easier with our Savior and Heavenly Father.

This story takes place in the Mile High City of Denver, Colorado, in the early fifties. Elaine was a happy, playful five-year-old living with her single mom and four older sisters. Then tragedy suddenly struck home. A short time later, her mother was diagnosed with schizophrenia and chronic depression. As a result of her mother's illness, Elaine and her sisters were separated and placed in foster homes. After several temporary stays with her grandparents and other relatives, she became the property of the state of Colorado, placed permanently into the foster care system. After years of trying to trust the system, Elaine was transferred to an orphanage. It was for colored children located in another city many miles from her friends and familiar surroundings. After years of suppressing the dark fires and lies of her haunting memories, Elaine found strength in forgiveness and love, and now she has opened up to the world to share her challenges, hoping in some small way others will draw strength from her stories of survival.

Life After Losing a Child is dedicated to my son, Antonio Smith-Scott (May 23, 1992-March 5, 2013) and in honor of my mother, Flora Scott (August 25, 1949-January 3, 2020), who birthed eight children and lost six before her own death. Life After Losing a Child is based on my own experiences-from a mother's perspective losing a child, from a sibling's perspective losing brothers in early childhood, how the death of my brothers affected my parents and our family. I also share how losing my own son affected my family, my four other children, and their father. Millions of parents lose a child every day and are left struggling, trying to not be overtaken with grief for the rest of our lives. We suffer from guilt, shame, hurt, pain, and sorrows until we allow Jesus to heal us. Losing a child from a miscarriage, stillbirth, sickness, deformities, abortions, accidents, or homicides-all these losses of a child carries the same hurts, pains, sorrows, and grief. The loss of these children leaves a void in all our lives as a family. I pray by sharing my loss and grief process, you will seek Jesus for healing for yourself and family. That you will be empowered to live your best life after the loss of a child or sibling. I pray you will live to the fullest capacity God has intended, Jesus died to give you, with the Holy Spirit guiding you-a life of purpose not only for yourself and family, but for the child that is gone but not forgotten.

We all look at people and think we know them, but it sure would help us truly understand them if we could go back and see their life at different points of times so we can see what they have been through: their joys, their struggles, what made them who they are. In Eighteen Years: Seth, you will be immersed into the life of a foster kid named Seth. The story is arranged so you, as a reader, can jump to different times of Seth's life so you can build upon your knowledge of what Seth has been through as well as glimpses into the paths Seth still has to endure. You will know what Seth has been through in his life and how it shaped who he was, and who he is.You will be on an emotional roller coaster as you live Seth's life as a foster kid. You will experience the hopelessness and drain of not having his own family, his real mom; followed by friendships and caregivers that give him hope. You will see the beauty of people in Seth's life that give him love and support, but then you will see the reality of abuse and extreme loneliness as well. All lives are tough, but wait until you learn about Seth's and what he overcomes and what he becomes!We all have a story-a complex story. I hope that as you read Seth's story, you will look at each character and ask yourself, "e;I wonder what has made them who they are."e; It is an exercise I believe we all should learn to do in real life. There is so much that makes each of us who we are. The people and their own stories, our environment and circumstances, and the influences are endless. Get to know people, invest in their stories, and understand their stories. Hopefully, that may change your story!

"e;Once bitten twice shy. If minor mistakes could get me in trouble, what if I make a major mistake? One may run away from temptation but may not hide from it,"e; Ngozi cautioned. But that was the night she succumbed to temptation. Then came the beating: dum, dum, dum, tim, tim . . . Ngozi couldn't protect her face anymore. She cried out in pain, "e;Sorry, sorry, I swear I will never dance again in my life. O heaven help me! Please! Please!"e; MmA and Jon beat Ngozi for hours until she gave up her dream. A maid's patience could be compared to the patience of a farmer, one who plants and patiently waits for harvest.

This book is about what the author believes to be the truth about eternal life and salvation as taught by Jesus Christ. The author was confused about this subject because almost every book he looked at used the writings and the quotes of Paul for the answer to this question, and the author did not understand why this is the case. Are these teachings of Paul true or not? So the author started his own investigation by reading the four gospels to see just what Jesus taught about this subject and other books as well. This includes who Jesus was, what he said about himself, what he said was the path to eternal life or salvation, etc.

The year is 3024. Humanity has gained alien allies, expanded tens of trillions of our population beyond the solar system, developed heavily advanced technology once thought to be the realm of science fiction in the twenty-first century, and so much more.But now the solar system is in danger from a merciless, bloodthirsty alien empire known as Lagorians and a lethal criminal bent on something wicked. Everyone, military and civilian alike, are in mortal danger. Thus, the United Terran Space Defense has built up a fleet and fighter force the likes in which we've never seen before, but even the grand admirals of the UTSD believe it is not enough, which is why they secretly contributed to building the Deep Space Intelligence Agency, which they say is meant to create and train special agents for their genetically enhanced capabilities.Because of one's enhanced abilities in the thirty-first century, whether it be a perfect aim, speedy, agility and flexibility, hyperintelligence, or inhuman endurance or if they simply ranked high in boot camp within the UTSD, only they are chosen for a trial by fire before being recruited as an agent, and Jay Columbus is one of them. Once he succeeds in his test, how will his training go in the DSIA? Should he pass everything, what shall he do to foil the operations of the Lagorians?Furthermore, what will he do about the lethal criminal, Lucy Finch, that wants HIM captured, of all people?

God gave us that greatest gift, "e;his son,"e; to save humankind, give us faith, encourage us, equip us, and guide us.In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent his only begotten son into the world that we might live through him. (1 John 4:9)This is thought-provoking. It's an invitation to replace doubt with faith. This faith is going to be our weapon. It is belief, the belief we are going to use to believe the Son of God.

Can you prove God exists? If you read the Bible in its entirety, you will know he does. Jesus is revealed to us throughout the New Testament, but God's plan of salvation can also be found in the Old Testament. The Bible is a marvelous book containing many seemingly unconnected stories each exhibiting wonders of their own, but you will also find they also are woven into a cohesive whole pointing to one thing-Jesus. Every word from beginning to end is breathed by God so we can get to know him and his plan to bring us back into his loving arms. Every word-and I do mean every word-is about Jesus. In Looking for Jesus in the Old Testament, you will discover Jesus looking back at you from every page.
