Lennie is an orphan. His father, James L. Lenhart, served as a Navy chaplain aboard the USS Cumberland. The frigate was struck broadside by a Confederate ironclad on March 8, 1862. The next year, influenza swept through Aquidneck Island, and Lennie's devout Quaker mother was one of its victims. Lennie is nearly ten when he is sent from his native Rhode Island to live with his Aunt Millie in Sunfish, Ohio. His family is convinced he'll be safe in Ohio from the uncertainties of war, yet along the way, Lennie would face many dangers.As Lennie begins his journey, he crosses the estuary of Narragansett Bay aboard the little schooner, the Blue Heron. There he is befriended by a barefooted Jamaican cabin boy. As a huge wave crashes over the prow of the ship, the boy turns to Lennie and, in a serious tone, speaks a prophetic word over him: "Listen! Lennie Star, the Lord makes a way out of no way! The dolphins will remember!"Much later, Lennie discovers that the Jamaican boy had not been seen by any of the others on board ship that day! Was the boy merely a figment of Lennie's imagination or had he encountered a ghost or even an angelic messenger?In Ohio, Lennie encounters another refugee of war, Tomochichi, a mixed-race Seminole, the son of the great Osceola. Lennie had no way of knowing when he began his journey, just how much his friendship with Tomochichi would influence his own path and the destinies of others around him.Tomochichi would pass on many gifts to Lennie, like the wisdom of Standing Bear the Osage guardian of the Misty Waterfall: "Some use a silver-plated compass to find their way, yet we have been given a golden compass. Our dreams are golden, given by the Great Spirit they point to our true north."This is a story of loss and recovery where ultimately love has the last word. In the end, walls that separate are dismantled, just as the sandcastle fortresses of children are dissolved by the steady rhythm of an incoming sea tide.

Are you watching the self-destruction of a loved one struggling with substance abuse, or are you the one addicted? Perhaps you are an observer standing outside the arena watching the chaos and asking yourself, "Why don't they just quit?" If you find yourself in one of these situations, this book is written with you in mind. By sharing our family's story of tragedy and triumph, we have an opportunity to encourage those whose life's pathways have taken them to some of the same dark places our family has been.If ever a story of miraculous recovery--from the agonizing valley of alcoholism and addiction to the mountaintop of recovery and service--should be told, it is the story of Gene Duffy, my dad. His journey took him from the gutters of Chicago's skid row, including a trip to the morgue to be prepped for burial, to the peace and serenity of California's beautiful Napa Valley, where he pioneered an amazing work and became one of the most prominent voices for recovery in his day.It is my hope and desire that this book, with my dad's life story serving as a platform for carrying the message of hope, and my sharing some lessons I learned along the way, may inspire someone who may be spiraling downward in cycles of misery and destruction to seek help. It may also encourage someone whose life has become difficult as they are being sorely impacted by another's deadly addiction. Let me assure you, there is hope! Although no one can go back and change their beginning, anybody can begin to change their ending! One does not have to live out the rest of their life captive to the misery and horrors of a difficult past; rather, they can begin today to embrace a happy and fruitful future.

Friskers was a very intelligent and unusual cat. He was king of Windy Knoll, and he patrolled the fields to make sure he protected his territory. There were bunnies and field mice in the fields behind the barn, and he was a fearless hunter. He started laying upside down on the steps leading into the pool and finally decided it was cool to just put all of himself in. Of course, he was very particular about his big red barn and did not like guests unless he had invited them. Ms. June would have to remind him that God wanted all of us to treat each other with kindness. Every morning Friskers would hurry so he could run to the house to listen to Ms. June read her book. Not just any book but the one that has all the rules for humans to live by each day.

I have always had a fierce independence from my earliest memory. However, I was always shy and uncomfortable in social situations, which always frustrated me to no end. I still struggle with my social shortcomings to this day. My confidence in my solo actions were always strong. I have always marveled at the military's ability to train men and women how to run things who did not have a lot of formal training better than a lot personal who did.During the summer of 2018, I was selected to attend the four-day training seminar at the US War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. I think that I was the lowest-ranking commissioned officer at the class since I was only a Navy lieutenant, and all the others were Army lieutenant colonels and above. I tried to persuade them of the desirability of the need for having senior enlisted soldiers in attendance for their input on how to run things more efficiently than the high-ranking officers did since they were the ones assigned to conduct the operations. I came away with the conclusion that my thoughts were not appreciated for the most part, but I still have this belief.During my preteen years in the Arkansas Ozarks, I read the novel The Yearly by Marjorie Rawlings, and it was later made into a movie starring Gregory Peck. Many of the kids that I knew in the Ozarks were exactly like many of the kids portrayed in the book, which only enhanced the story for me. I also read the books Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, which also brought to life for me what I was living in the Ozarks. Also, while in school in the fourth and seventh grades in the Ozarks, I was well-respected, which also enhanced my experience while in Arkansas.In the Navy, while I had never been in a small airplane in my entire life, I discovered that I had a talent that I did not know that I had. I had mistakenly assumed that many of the other trainees with more abilities than I had were actually washing out of the program while I continued to hang on until getting my wings and commission. This caused a lot of consternations in my mind: why was I succeeding, and they weren't?After being released from the Navy, I couldn't get a job with any airline due to an oversupply of pilots from Vietnam. Eventually, I got a job with East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) and moved back to my home in Angels Camp, California. I worked at EBMUD for twenty years, and during that time, I also served on the elected board of directors for Calaveras County Water District (CCWD), which oversees twenty separate water, wastewater, and hydroelectric systems scattered throughout the county.That's a brief biography of my life. If anybody wishes to communicate with me with questions or observations, please contact me through my e-mail address, dbdooley@hotmail.com. Please refer to this book so that I do not mistakenly delete it thinking it is junk mail.

This book is a light introduction to Nism and the Nism Church. Nism is a new religion that has very strong roots in many other religions, including Christianity. It is named Nism because within Nism, God is known as N.

You may feel a connection with the real-life angel story, you may feel empowered by hearing that heaven is under your creative direction, you may agree with the angle on the "one true church" issue, and you may be fascinated with the use of the pharaoh title.

In this book, you will read about a female who experienced rejection that caused her to become rebellious. As she ages, she faces some very difficult challenges that caused her to make some deadly choices. When she became a mother, she began trying to find her purpose, sadly thinking she had it all figured out. As she walks through the darkest journey of her life, she didn't realize the choices she made caused her to lead down the road of destruction. As she walked through this dark valley, her sinful ways caused her to strike a match to a deadly fire that only God could put out. Thankfully, she had a praying mother and connections with praying warriors that literally saved her from premature death. Once she made the right choice and cried out to Jesus, gratefully He heard her cry and walked her through the dark valley until she saw the light. As she sees the light, she surrenders her all to Jesus Christ, who granted her wisdom and knowledge, and she understands only God has the master plan. As she built a relationship with God and allowed Him to lead her path, she discovered who she was and what she was created to be. She now stands bold and courageously knowing she is the bloodline breaker and the generational shaker and will always stand on God's word, understanding her purpose is to win souls for the one and only Messiah, Jehovah Jireh, who set her free, as the word of God (Bible) declares in John 8:36, "Who the son sets free is free indeed."

This story brings two strangers together for the first time. Let's join Catlacs the Shnickeldink as he embarks on a colorful day-long journey with his newfound friend Stankdu the Shnickelfink. Catlacs learns it can be fun to eat healthy and try new foods. Stankdu enriches Catlacs' life by getting him out of the house. They enjoy a plentiful buffet while Stankdu introduces Catlacs to his friends along the way. It becomes a day of socializing by way of a three-course meal. Perhaps the brightest ending to his adventure is the valuable life lesson he learns--nobody is the same, and it's okay to be different.

Just like Ed, we've all encountered them--the unusual over- or underexpectation surprises, the un-norms. A person or place or thing that isn't quite as advertised. They happen sometimes. From time to time. Usually spread out over time. Time. One time we might find a place that isn't the sleepy little backwater, East Tree-Stump town, where nothing happens. Another time we might meet a person who isn't the average nobody. There might be a love story hiding in a paperback thriller at one time, or we get fooled by an old man that appears to be just a tourist on vacation at another. An anemic grocery store clerk with seemingly no imagination that apparently doesn't like the particular shade of green on the traffic signal. A helpless waif ignorant of life's challenges and demands. A heavyset old southern sheriff with an attitude and a bad memory for names. Sometimes we don't see it coming. Sometimes we don't have time, enough time, before we get hit by another un-norm. Just because we see and hear something doesn't mean it's true. Bank robbers are bad; cops are good. Old veterans tell good stories but are harmless. Santa isn't real. Mothers know what is best for their sons. Everything moves slower in small agricultural southern towns. Intrigue would die of boredom in Amery, Georgia, where young people have no role models or encouragement. The town is stagnant and dying. Nothing ever happens here. It will probably whither up and blow away anytime now. Just anytime. So why then are spooks and spies and business tycoons and billionaires and thugs and assassins converging on this small Southwest Georgia-wide spot in a red clay road? What is going on with all the communications? What is about to happen? And why? And when?

It is important that we understand from a biblical perspective concerning the woman's fall from grace and being expelled from the garden of Eden. It involves the necessary steps taken in order for her to receive mercy, grace, justification, and salvation, which in turn will, first of all, provide forgiveness and redemption through the redeemed blood of Jesus Christ. Second, I'm hoping that this book will become a real force of reconciliation especially for those couples contemplating separation or divorce. Also recognizing the importance of a doctrinal belief system and how it affects the raising of children.Furthermore, an overall viewpoint of marriage enhancement through questions-and-answers surveys to improve wife/husband longevity. The book ends with letters addressed to various personalities, including the experiences that I have encountered along the way, regarding these relationships.Lastly, I must mention that the most important name in this book is Jesus! I pray that whoever reads this book and do not know Jesus knows no matter where you are in life. Take the time now and receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Read Romans 10:9 and follow instructions. God bless. Amen.

At that same time and hour, Jesus spoke and said, "Even so it is not the will of your father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish" (Matt. 18:14 KJV).We learned it from Jesus himself that there are secrets in heaven that have been revealed, having our name written in the book of Lamb. And there is only one name under heaven that can truly save us and keep us from perishing. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under Heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. (Acts 4:12 KJV)Satan desires to keep you in the dark with his void and deceptive strategies in your life. Christians can be subtly deceived in the inner chambers of their mind. Since it is not an obvious evil, they do not recognize how even the smallest deception influences their behavior in an ungodly direction and how Satan can keep them captive by his will. Neither give place to the devil in your life, where he can keep you in his dark pit (Eph. 4:27 KJV).Draw night to God and he will draw night to us. (James 4:8 KJV)For God who commanded the light to shine out of darkness hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. So, then, death works within us but life in Christ.
