After my marriage ended, I took some time off to regroup and have some "Jill Time." Then after three years, I woke up one morning, and said to the Universe "I want to be in love again. Bring it on!" Well, all hell broke loose and it started raining men. All I can say is that I should have been more specific.This is the story of my Johns'. No, not THOSE kind of Johns'. Gimme some credit. It's the story of my weird, perilous and sometimes (often) hilarious world of dating. I've named them ALL John and assigned them a number. Do you really think that I can remember all 47 names? Not likely.Buckle up ladies and gents. I went through this, so you don't have to.You're welcome.

This book differs from the previous Emmy stories. This book combines Emmy's present life with her efforts at writing a book about her life."But God! I write songs! Are you sure?

My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.'My song, Lord. That's what I do.I write songs, not what you are asking." She closed her eyes and wept until Philippians 4:13 popped into her head."I can do all this through him who gives me strength."She sighed and took a deep breath."Fine! I won't fight you because you always win."At that moment Kenny entered the control room."You okay, Em. I thought I heard something.""That was me fighting against God," she said and then grinned."Did you win?""Of course not," she said . "But this is crazy."He tilted his head. "What? And why would you fight God?""Because I'm stubborn and because of what He wants me to do.""What is He asking you to do?"She raised her hands. "The Holy Spirit told me to write a book.""A book? Are you sure? You write songs."She looked up at Kenny, and he saw the sparkle in her eyes. Kenny let go of her hands. "What will you do?" She shrugged. "I'll do what He told me to. I don't know what good it will do, but I'll do it. I'll write a book about my life.Like anyone will want to read that."She laughed. "This is crazy. Where in the world would I start?"Kenny kissed her cheek.

I need to confess,"he said as a bolt of lightning flashed and thunder boomed."We have to talk about our future."Emmy bit her lip. She took a step forward but then stopped."Oh, Kenny."

"Understanding COVID" reminds people of the core fact that makes the Scientific Method possible: Science requires the ability to question. Experimentation and questioning have always been the foundations of science, yet in our modern era it seems hysteria grows louder and louder. As we go through this process, we discover that ideas that were once accepted as truth could have a short life span and quickly become overturned by new and better information. By disregarding ideas that have the potential to deliver the truth, the scientific world is taking a step backwards in a time where it should be flourishing more than ever before. It was a surprise when scientists who questioned the effectiveness or safety of the COVID vaccines, were labeled as spreading "misinformation," and suppressed, even though those scientists were recognized authorities in vaccine research. It's that idea in mind that has prompted the author Reuben Bibi to review the actual research studies and look at some of the fine print of those who are investigating COVID and the vaccines. By sifting through the very research by those who were supportive of the vaccines as well as those who argued against it, Bibi has compiled a book which is packed with information that provides the history of our medical standards; presents the various early warning systems that have been set up by the government; why these vaccines cannot stop infection, by design; the effectiveness of alternative treatments; how these vaccines work and the risks that are faced when taking; and more. It's only through knowing the risks and benefits of any drug that we can make concrete decisions about what is safe for our bodies. This book was written to help the reader make that determination. This is a vital book for anyone that's interested in being informed, whether they've taken the vaccine or not. Keeping the scientific process alive in our cultural discussion is crucial to create a well-informed population capable of logical rhetoric. COVID is just another part of our "normal" world now, so it's best to be informed.
