America's Longest War (1945 to 1975) may seem like Ancient History to people born after the evacuation of Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City). This book examines the conflict, its key events, the presidents who were consumed by it, mistakes which were made, its lessons for the 21st century, and places it squarely into the context of the Cold War.Winthrop University history professor Dr. J. Edward Lee suggests that the Vietnam War was a "e;Noble Tragedy,"e; a mixed metaphor which is relevant in the world of Coronavirus, global tensions, and economic turbulence. He includes a detailed chronology, photographs, and maps.The author writes Noble Tragedy for the post-9/11 generation, but he also writes for a much wider audience.

Hurricane Katrina had already struck south Florida as a mild Category 1 hurricane, but after returning to the Gulf of Mexico and regaining strength, she was back! Only this time, she was predicted to be a dangerous Category 5 hurricane, and her next target was none other than New Orleans, Louisiana. For years, the city was warned that a storm like Katrina could eventually strike, but no one knew exactly when. Yet, in 2005, the time had finally arrived. Hurricane Katrina had her eye on the Crescent City. As the city's residents scrambled to prepare for the worst, thousands hunkered down while countless others evacuated. But one eastern New Orleans church called Smoking for Jesus Ministry made plans to evacuate and weather the storm together! In a 40-car caravan of approximately 200 members, they began a journey that would mark one of the greatest modern-day deliverance stories of our time. This is a story of the utter devastation, tragedy, and losses surrounding Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. More importantly, though, this is a story of how this church experienced the hope of God's peace, love, provision, and faithfulness through the storms. And as they traveled together throughout the states of Louisiana and Texas, they had no earthly idea of the amazing promises of God that awaited them at the end of the journey. But first, they would need to survive! Mount Up! This is the story of How One Church Survived Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

The saying goes "e;LIFE IS BUT A DREAM"e; in my case that's true. I am a child prodigy, I could play piano by listening to the radio. My life was ordinary. I got married at eighteen, had two children, and taught piano. Somewhere from another galaxy out of the blue I started to write poems. I never studied poetry, but somehow my mind started to give life to poems. I write about life, nature, comedy, sadness, music, etc. My poems got to be published. Poetry doesn't have to be heavy or not understandable to just anybody. Just like the saying "e;IT'S A BIRD OR A PLANE IT'S Sandra is not a superhero but just a person who likes to write.

Todo comenzo un 1de marzo del 2021. Un escrito mas sin importancia en Facebook dio pie a todo lo que viene a continuacion. A quienes les interesa conocer les diria no siendo quien para ello.: Leemos, sobre todo, pero no por ello sabemos las realidades que se desarrollan dentro de los lugares que leemos, (apenas conocemos las nuestras por mucho que creamos conocerlas). Sacamos conclusions las guardamos en el manto que envuelve nuestro saber y hay las dejamos en espera de una conversacion que se hable de ello. Este escrito del ideario comunista, me llevo a conocer a una persona la cual me explico como bien pudo, (escondiendo su miedo) un pais que desde el primer momento me di cuenta lo poco que se de el. No sera un escrito con sus capitulos. Sin falta alguna, son Mensajes y opinions (las minimas, o ya se vera). no lo veo necesario para que lo que se intenta explicar se entienda muy bien.

I first met Cal in January 1977, when I arrived on the Hillview Acres Children's Home campus, in Chino, CA. Having a paint brush in his hand, I thought he was a maintenance man. As the days unfolded, I learned he was a "e;maintenance man,"e; but for the children and staff in need. When things weren't going well, staff were encouraged to, "e;Take the youngsters to Cal's office!"e; He had dependable low-key demeanor, that wasn't explosive, but measured and openly honest. Youngsters, who'd been abused, had to process the whole situation; waiting to be 'punished,' lectured, deprived of food or isolated. I imagine that those who knew him during their long-ago placements at the children's home, could even today, without hesitation, recall their times playing chess with him-as does a young man I know today-who's more than 50 years old.Having been a sailor-trained to work in the engineering spaces of a big ship, Cal understood the 'workings' of the ship's boilers. Years later, in the children's home setting, he possessed the inherent capacity to help children keep from 'boiling' over, or exploding with rage. Cal was also, a minister of Christ-leaning upon the love of God-helping children to come to some degree of belief in the hope of spiritual redemption. Not only did he become a safe haven for the kids-many co-workers sought out his wisdom and being a safe haven for them as well. Cal had a vision for using computers in tracking a wide range of client data. His vision led to the development of a real-time computer program tracking the behavioral growth of children in placement. Learning how to display the day-to-day development of a child's progress using a computer program became a national model for child welfare.Cal was a key component in my professional and personal life as I spent the next 20 years as CEO of Hillview Acres-he is still a friend.Corky KindsvaterSeptember, 2017
