This is my first attempt at writing a book and most certainly will be my last. I have had much encouragement how to do it, even though I have had no experience ,somehow I have "Gotter" done because my son and his wife Karen, by stating that his business had to get new phones and they were required to Upgrade the whole system, and my old flip phone will no longer have any service, so I am getting you a new smart phone and putting it on Buildings Inc.'s account. l said "NO"l don't know how to run them. They said it'll be great you can just talk into it and it writes it down for you and then you'll be able to write your book; and so I wrote two chapters and it wasn't going very well, so they said what you really need is a tablet so we went and got one and it did work some better. But the pictures won't stay in place and they keep pushing the words around.

Innovative and yet traditional, Laura Coombs Hills (1859-1952) was renowned for both her miniatures on ivory and, later, her pastels of flowers. "Queen of Miniature Painters", "...a veritable John Singer Sargent of miniature painting" and "Dean of Flower Pastels" were merely some of the many accolades ascribed to this New England artist. However, Hills' accomplishments and contributions to America's art historical culture entailed so much more.Sense, Sensibility and Sensation: The Marvelous Miniatures and Perfect Pastels of Laura Coombs Hills, America's Lyrical Impressionist was conceived and written as an atypical art history book to better explore Hills' many contributions to American culture, with a view toward a broader understanding of Hill's ethos. Beyond the presentation of her unique, biographical history as an independent, woman-entrepreneur, this book explores Hill's role in perpetuating a sense of individualism associated more closely with the concepts of home, hearth, and honor of the nineteenth century than the psychological anomie associated with the Modernism of the twentieth, - her own time. In addition, on the pages of this book will be found relevant discussions regarding Hills' ties to Sense, Sensibility and Sensation, that is, to the idea of individualism associated with nineteenth century miniatures and Walt Whitman's celebration of America; the notion of beauty associated with Contemplative Romanticism espoused by Edmund Burke; the sentiments of the "Romance poets" (Lord Byron and Percy B. Shelley); as well as the nineteenth century color theories of Michel Chevreul favored by the Impressionists. Moreover, notions of "democratic empiricism", "aesthetic lyricism", and Hills' passion for "symphonic colors" - are all contributory factors which help to identity Laura Coombs Hills as what I have termed "America's Lyrical Impressionist".

This is the last in a trilogy of aphoristic reflections on the mystery of Presence. Unlike my previous two books on this subject, Apokalypteria seeks to bridge the gap between those who are drawn to the mystery of Presence but have no hard and fast religious beliefs, and those devout and religious believers who view 'Presence' as a poor substitute when speaking about things sacred, holy and divine.We are currently witnessing the great deconstruction of institutionalized Christianity. This is as fortunate as it is inevitable. Christianity, as genuine, kerygmatic Evangel, defies definition. Christianity is the dissolution of every form of status quo, giving rise to a communion of persons knowing themselves to be in the world but not of the world for the life of the world.This book is a babbling collection of effusive aphorisms spoken in an eschatological key offered in the hope that atheists, agnostics and believers alike may perceive their essential unity in the Mystery of Christ who is present in the Mystery of Presence. In the end, it is all a single Mystery - the triune Mystery of God.

Like most children brought up Roman Catholic, Richard regularly attended confession. He never quite know why but until he was in high school, he never questioned the purpose, if not the substance of the sacrament. An incident involving a priestly vestment, a confession in a cathedral, overhearing an admission by an elderly lady in an adjacent confessional, the surprising registration for a universe theology course, and Richard leads to a renewal of his faith and an obsession with confession. Further, he accidentally overhears an elderly lady's admission in an adjacent confessional, prompting an investigation into the balance between the harm caused by the sin and the absolution provided by confessors. Over several months, he finds himself investigating misdeeds that would give rise to exceptional measures issued by priests sitting in darkened booths in which divine forgiveness is furnished. A homeless man without a name is murdered and Richard has found the misdeed that he hopes will be absolved by confession. Although his pursuit does not result in anything approaching exoneration, it does provide the murdered man with a name and a mystery with a conclusion.
