    In the mountain town of Redemption, Wyoming, retired Sheriff John Becket, once renowned as the "Killingest lawman in the Wyoming territory, ' is content to spend his remaining days reading books he's never read before, drinking whiskey in a hammock and courting numerous town widows at once. And then Jamie, a 12-year-old grandson Becket did not know he had, knocks on his door. In Jamie, the hard-tack former sheriff sees some hope to redeem himself for his failure as a father and gradually the ornery old sheriff and the hard-headed boy begin to build trust and affection for one another.What Becket does not know is that Jamie's father, Becket's errant son is a Texas outlaw who ran away from home as a teenager, and has sent Jamie to stay with him for safekeeping after having robbed his partners, the murderous Bill and Frank Blue gang, of the money they stole from a North Texas Bank. Believing that Jamie is the key to finding the stolen money, Bill and Frank Blue hit the trail to find the boy intent to force him to take them to it, triggering what will be a violent and bloody confrontation between the murderous outlaws from Texas and the killingest lawman in Wyoming. But Sheriff Becket has a secret of his own, a recently discovered heart condition that just might just kill him before the outlaws can.

    Understanding is crucial to recreating your world. It is the opening of one's spiritual eyes to reality; it is the enlightenment of the soul. The Ethiopian eunuch was spiritually blind. His soul could not access spiritual realities, but when Philip by the Holy Ghost helped his understanding, everything in him opened up to receive the gospel and submit to its demands; and by understanding, he entered a new world of light that Jesus brought to humanity. Until you understand your world, you cannot take charge of it; neither can you change it to become the beauty you desire. God has given you and me the world to make the best of it as our temporal home, until He comes to change our abode forever. "The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. (KJV: Psalm 115: 16).

    hay veces en las que queremos decirle a alguien todo lo que le queremos pero no encontramos ni la forma, ni el lugar, ni el momento. solemos ser montañas de inseguridades y nervios, a la misma vez que tenemos la cabeza llena de cosas bonitas y la tripa repleta de hormigueos.se le puede decir "te quiero" a alguien con un simple mensaje de "buenos días" después de que esa persona haya tenido un mal día, con una llamada inesperada, con un abrazo por la espalda, con un beso en la frente, con un "avísame cuando llegues a casa".un día pensé en cómo se diría en todos los idiomas del mundo, en si sonaría más dulce o más amargo... y busqué una causa para cada uno: -"te quiero, por todos los momentos vividos a tu lado, por eso tú y ninguna otra persona"-"te quiero, por el calor de tu aliento en cada invierno". todas las causas por las que se puede y se debe querer a una persona, porque querer es algo bonito que ni marchita, ni golpea, ni duele.es algo que solo cura, que solo acaricia y nunca te deja solo.

  • - The Life and Writings of Saint Camilla Battista Varano, OSC
    av Bret Thoman Ofs
    167

    St. Camilla Battista was an Italian Poor Clare nun from the Renaissance era. She wrote that the Lord conversed with her in a familiar way, communicating to her revelations that she made known through her writings. Not only was she an extraordinary woman of culture, she was a mystic and a profound contemplative. In this comprehensive translation of her writings, the hidden saint is revealed to the English speaking world for the first time. St. Camilla Battista da Varano was the daughter of a powerful Renaissance duke, Giulio Cesare da Varano. Born in Camerino in 1458, she was raised in her father's court and came to love the things of the world. During Lent in 1466, a sermon changed the direction of her life. She began to shed a little tear each Friday in memory of Christ's Passion. This led to her profound conversion and a desire to devote herself entirely to Christ. At a young age she entered a Poor Clare monastery in Urbino that had embraced the Franciscan reform known as the Strict Observance. She took the name Sister Battista and dedicated herself to radical poverty. She founded a monastery in Camerino and became abbess. In the monastery, Sr. Battista dedicated herself to a continual suffering with Christ on the cross and became known for mystical and celestial visions. Saint Camilla was endowed with remarkable intellectual abilities. She wrote extensively, her main works being: Memories of Jesus, The Mental Sorrows of Christ in His Passion, Purity of Heart, and her autobiography. In Mental Sorrows, she describes the inner pains of the human Heart of Jesus which - St. Battista affirms - were much stronger than the physical ones. These revelations nourished her life of contemplation and, down the centuries, that of countless others. Sr. Camilla Battista died of the plague in her monastery in Camerino on March 31, 1524 at the age of 64. Pope Gregory XVI beatified her on April 7, 1843, while Pope Benedict XVI canonized her on October 17, 2010. This English edition includes a number of essays and reflections about her life. The saint's writings include all her works mentioned above, in addition to a number of poems, prayers, and other works. In the words of Pope Benedict XVI, "[You can] become better acquainted with the Saints [...] by reading their life and their writings. You may rest assured that they will become good guides in order to love the Lord even more and will contribute effective help for your human and Christian development." May the Holy Spirit enlighten the mind and inflame the hearts of readers so that, like St. Camilla Battista, they can advance more and more in the ways of contemplation.

  • - My Take on Spirituality, Relationships, and Life
    av Charlette McCloud
    341

    This is a story of pain and praises through poetry. This woman was born into a state of pain and confusion at the time of her birth. The doctor who performed her mother's c-section did it neglectfully and covered up the malpractice that occurred. She was left with a permanent deep scar on her right cheek and right forearm. At 2.4 oz. she lived. Preemies died in the 60's without crucial medical care needed to survive. Satan tried to take her out of this world day one like he did JOB. She will tell anyone that God must have told satan "not this one". She triumphantly passed over death's door. She was injured and left with third degree burns and scars on her right forearm . As she waddled around the house in a walker she bumped the board and the iron fell on her. It sat for sometime before anyone noticed and the burn went down to the white meat. As a young girl she experienced molestation from a close family member living in the home. All these horrific things that happened to her before the age of 10 did not make her heart hardened. She still remains a praying soul, full of JOY, and as the peacemaker that God made her out to be. She had her first child young and was a single mother. Living arrangements were not proper. After moving around with family she eventually became homeless. For years there was no stability. She lived in a hotel, a women's shelter at the YWCA, with a friend of the family, and then in a crack house that belonged to her mother's family friend. Through all of that, she made the best of the situation and attended college to get her degree in business. This was the best thing that happened to her in awhile.She had resolve to better her circumstances and live a better life for her and her son. She ended up married young, had 3 more children, stayed together in a marriage for "family." She became tired of putting everyone else first. She knew she married for love but stayed in the facade for all the wrong reasons. Being separated, having relations with other men, then finally in a new commited relationship for 12 years didn't make her happy. Eventually divorced she asked God for a clean slate. Through all of what life has thrown at her, she overcame her low self-esteem, promiscuity, and taste of a bad marriage. She emerged today as a strong, assertive, successful entrepreneur. God is her main source for everything. Full of compassion, she never ever lost hope in Gods PROMISES. She discovered that her spirituality, innate gifts, and talents would catapult her into a whole new trajectory. Writing became her purpose to make sense of her sordid birth, upbringing, and life in general. Writing became a way to heal her emotional trauma and it can be for you too. She lives by her motto "It isn't over until I say it's over--better yet --until God says its over." She believes writing HEALS. So write! AMEN_______________________________________________________________________________________________ PHILLIPIANS 1:6 Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.________________________________________________________________________________________________ She says never give up. "NO" is a delay for a reason. God has an appointed time for everything to happen according to his will. A "NO" simply lets you know that God is in control and he knows what is best for you. If you think back over all the times you have become impatient, was delayed, or cut out of something---it was most likely a protection from God that the timing was not right for what ever you anticipated. Then God did a thing. All you can say is -------------------------------But GOD!This is her self discovery and love story. She encourages others to write out their pain in a journal. She encourages others to continue learning and growing while climbing out of their valleys. God isn't done with her yet! He isn't done with you ei

  • - It didn't happen, but it could have!
    av Gordon Smith
    277

    LAST UPDATED MAY 2018Prior to the Second World War, Japan and Australia had been successful trading partners, but after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbour, Australia was soon at war with Japan. Various attacks by Japan soon followed and the citizens of Australia became afraid and were ready to bolt inland from the coastal regions. In 1942, General McArthur set up his headquarters for the Pacific in Brisbane and, as a result, the city needed a civilian population to ensure the smooth operation of its essential services. Due to its proximity to the Pacific battlefronts, it was a crucial geographic point for resupplying troops in battle - from both sides of the war. A plan was soon hatched to make newsreel films and articles that would not only reassure Australia's civilians that they would be safe from Japanese threat, but, at the same time, they would also be leaked to the Japanese in an effort to convince them that Brisbane was too difficult a city to invade. The Ministry Communications Unit chronicles the creation and development of the special public relations unit that created those movies and articles.It is also about adventure, romance, glory and also personal sacrifice. The Ministry Communications unit, tells the tale of how the unit developed along with the interactions of people causing interest and romances to begin. But nothing in the path of love can run smoothly and as the young men and women become romantically involved they then become shocked by the horrific hospital boat sinking.

    With the introduction of Conscription in the 1960s, it was realised that Australia's defence forces would now have access to a wider pool of talented men, other than those that normally volunteer for service.Major Jack Roberts was tasked by the defence department to form a small group from the National Servicemen to take on some unique tasks.He chose three young men that had shown signs of being able to work with anyone from different backgrounds or ethnic groups.These three men were a Christian, a Jew and a Moslem.After being whisked away from their regiment, as it sailed for Vietnam, they were taken to an isolated island and underwent their unique training. When their special training had been completed, they joined the war as intelligence observers. It did not take them long to discover that some of its allies were not being as ethical as they should be. In fact, some of them were actually involved in criminal activities. Because the Australian Government needed to be sure that no Australians were involved, they immediately directed the group to seek out Corruption, Criminal activity and Human rights violations from all sources (including allied forces). They developed into a unique force that as well as reporting on corruption, was soon to give assistance to refugeesTheir activities came to the attention of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, along with the Human Rights High Commission. With the Australian Government's blessing, they were recruited to continue their work, only now as a UN investigating unit to collect evidence of corruption and Human Right violations in Indo-China.Along the way, their group expanded, and although the original three were only conscripted for two years, they were together until the late 1970s.Although not a war story," Men with a Mission" shows the tragedies that come out of war balanced by the loves and hopes of the future.

    La raccolta che avete tra le mani nasce da un'idea o, per meglio dire, da un'esigenza: portare a conoscenza del pubblico un genere ancora poco noto come lo steampunk.Ma cos'è lo steampunk?Se volessimo definirlo in maniera breve e sintetica potremmo raccontare di una Londra vittoriana nella quale la tecnologia si è evoluta in modo alternativo a quello attuale, facendo un rapido balzo in avanti, fino a creare automi e macchine grandiose, ma sempre incentrati sulle tecnologie del vapore e della meccanica, senza - o quasi - l'impiego di energia elettrica. Una tecnologia avanzata ma dal gusto un po' rétro.Proprio per farvi assaggiare questo "gusto" - e la particolare e variegata offerta di soluzioni narrative tipiche del genere - nasce quest'antologia. In essa, ognuno degli autori selezionati ha saputo affrontare il tema proposto secondo il suo personalissimo punto di vista, cogliendo appieno una delle tante sfumature del mondo steampunk. C'è chi ha mantenuto - anche nel tempo e nei luoghi - l'ambientazione vittoriana, aggiungendovi un tocco tecnologico, chi ha ripreso le vicende di personaggi più o meno noti dell'epoca, chi ancora ha voluto adeguare il genere alla tradizione italiana. Tutti, però, hanno saputo approcciarsi allo steampunk secondo la propria visione del mondo e il loro stile di scrittura, regalandoci racconti diversissimi seppur riconducibili a un unico filo conduttore. Alla fine della lettura, tutti conosceremo un po' di più questo mondo meraviglioso e complesso grazie ai racconti nati dalla contaminazione tra la Storia e le fantasie prolifiche e poliedriche dei nostri autori.

    Japanese Sharpening Stone Heaven is the first and only book in the English language that addresses the full subject of the culture and historic use of the stones that sharpened Japanese Samuri Swords for 850 years. Thru craft and thru war these were the finest gritted natural stones for sharpening the chisels for carpenters who built the largest wooden buildings in the world, and for sharpening the Samuri swords of warlords and their troops.Narutaki Awasedo is a scientific name ascribed to volcanic sedimentation in the Kyoto Prefecture of Japan where these stones were mined from the mountains above Narutaki village and the associated valley of Umegahata. Those same types of stones are still coveted by sword polishers (Togi), artisans in all fields & crafts, barbers for honing razors, museums for the correct restoration and the maintenance of historic katana weapons, sharpening scalpels for surgery and the list goes on and on. Chapters on geology and chemical analysis are for the first time included on this subject.Although just a stone, a rock, so to say, the Narutaki Awasedo has played a role in every war that Japan has engaged in from at least, if not earlier than 1165 to the era of Tokugawa Shogun, and the second world war, beginning for Japan in the mid-1930s. The culture of using sharpening stones in Japan is well established, while at the same time, their sedimentary sources are close to extinction. Museums holding historically important examples of Samurai weapons have stockpiled Narutaki Awasedo sharpening stones for future generations of restorations. Museums outside of Japan and worldwide are concerned that there are no replacements for the unique qualities of these natural sharpening/polishing stones, and fewer Togi sword polishers to maintain the swords.The mineralogy of these natural stones is a field in itself, with experts, scientific papers being vetted, and chemical equivalents being promoted. So far, a replacement has not been certified or acknowledged. The end of an era is approaching.

    Como la de un monótono hámster que gira en su rueda monótona, así es la existencia de Andrés, el abogado de éxito que protagoniza la nueva novela de Tere Guerra, una escritora con parálisis cerebral. Un día, sin embargo, ocurre algo insólito. Aturdido por ese descubrimiento que cambiará el rumbo de su vida, Andrés comprende que debe poner fin a su monocultivo existencial: el trabajo. Un trabajo que lo vampiriza y aliena. Se siente como un zombi, pues, de hecho, él tampoco tiene alma.Nuevo Ulises en la España vaciada, emprende un viaje -físico e iniciático a la vez, como lo son los grandes viajes- en busca de su yo más profundo, lo que lo conducirá a un pequeño pueblo de la casi secreta comarca zamorana de Sayago. Andrés conocerá allí a una anciana que regenta una posada y que, al amor de la lumbre, le ayudará a descubrir, sin imposiciones, sin dogmas, que el secreto de una vida plena radica en la difícil plenitud de la sencillez.Después de múltiples peripecias narradas con elegancia y de intercalar varios relatos al modo cervantino que suspenden la acción a la vez que la complementan, Tere Guerra nos conduce a un inesperado final. Ni la entrañable anciana ni el perdido abogado son los que dicen ser.
