What is stopping you from having a great career? After all, it is so easy to settle for the dull but safe, or to allow yourself to become trapped in a career you dislike, or to persuade yourself that the job you really want is out of your reach.

The Spirit sent me these articles over a period of eight years or so. I did not sit down with intention of generating these thoughts or considerations. As I read over them after so many years, I can easily admit, it's as though someone else wrote them. I sincerely hope at least one or two inspire you in some way to pursue a relationship with Jesus, with God, if you have not already done so. And for those who have, perhaps they will recharge your batteries and stoke your fires. Remember what your first encounter with God was like and how you couldn't tell enough folks about it? Time to rediscover that space.

The popular Six-Word Memoir® project examines a subject bursting with words: Jewish life.

The Conversion is not a testimony of changing from non-believer to believer. I have been a believer since childhood. The Spirit compelled me to write this testimony of a perceived truth becoming unraveled. We must be obedient. This testimony is a flare into the darkness of father/son, mother/daughter relationships. As a son, I felt a desperation to be closer to my father before it was too late. This true story includes elucidating, peripheral incidents which bring revelation of the real truth as only God could orchestrate. This testimony reveals powerful insights of dangers from not asking God first. Concise scriptures are dispersed throughout as validation of this illuminating experience. My hope is my obsession-turned-revelation will be a window for others in their parental relationships. If you feel something is lacking, don't wait before it's too late. Most importantly, first ask God for instruction and be sure of it. Once God gives the go ahead, you cannot lose.

This is a gathering of autumn flowers, what has remained of the summer garden, the gathering before the scattering. Poems in the elder�s voice, that ripened voice which grows only out of a considered life, from a man who has spent the currency of his seventy some years in deepening that life through the practice of poetry. "Lake Winds" brings us the poetry of appreciation and gratitude. No busy ego racket here. These poems come from a quieter level of mind that trusts that all of this is held within the secret direction/of everything. They acknowledge that truth, in Rumi�s words, that �Someone has filled the cup before us.� It is understood that we must prepare it for those who follow. Each of these poems is a filled cup awaiting a reader. >>> Take long walks in the woods at dawn or dusk, / Breathe in the damp musty air, / Learn to listen before I die." These poems speak to those who have learned to listen. - Maj Ragain

"I arrived in San Francisco only a year after Kenneth Patchen's death in 1972, but even then his spirit and legend was a major presence amongst those of us who were" the baby Beats," impressionable, and of the 60' s generation. Kenneth Rexroth was singing his praises. For those of us who have gone their own way, counter-culturally, Kenneth Patchen may be, directly or indirectly, the most important influence on our generations' poetic voice. Along with the likes of Jack Spicer, Bob Kaufman, Jack Hirschman, Philip Lamantia, and the Beats, Patchen sings to us still. Kenneth Patchen: Rebel Poet in America is the long-overdue testament and homage to this modem 20th century icon." -- Thomas Rain Crowe

In this fine Appalachian novel, Larry Smith chronicles four generations of McCalls, their joys and sorrows, their sins and their nobility�.Such regional fiction has always been about people: their connections with one another, their home place, their struggles to survive and to prosper. It�s all here, set, in the grand tradition of Wendell Berry and Conrad Richter, against the Ohio landscape: its hills and its rivers, its frontier beginnings and its later industrial development. We care about the place and its people. Finishing the novel, we understand ourselves and our nation with a deeper knowledge. -Annabel Thomas, author of Stone Man Mountain
