"Ali" is a poem about a child and his love for an alligator. Growing up on a farm, Rosette was fascinated by the intelligence and curiosity instilled in animals and even insects. "Ali" was inspired by a young boy who, while on Summer vacation, had petted a baby alligator. His excitement in retelling of his adventure was contagious.

"Can we stop for another breather?" I yelled up to Matthew. I was exhausted after wading through deep snow for the last three hours while making seemingly no progress up the steep slope. We were each hauling about 60 pounds of gear to cache higher up on the mountain, and it was tough work. We split the gear up between backpacks and sleds, but had to strike a balance - too much gear on our backs made us sink deeper into the snow, but too much in the sleds pulled us back down the slope. "Yeah, but now it's your turn to break trail," Matthew shouted back. It was Day 8 of our expedition on Mt Logan, and we had just ridden out a three-day storm at King Col at 13,500 ft. We were taking advantage of a brief clearing to try to haul some gear up and over the headwall, the steepest part of the King Trench route. But the storm had dumped a lot of fresh snow, and progress was painfully slow. -Excerpt from Mt Logan ReportLong drives, short hikes, long hikes, bushwhacks, mountain bikes, kayaks, month-long expeditions, acclimation, helicopters, commercial flights, bus rides, bush planes, ski planes, float planes, boats, pack rafts, glacier travel near the North Pole, snow storms, snow shoes, skis, sleds, extreme cold, a 20-30 pitch rock climb, and thousands of miles driving.

I've wanted to write another book for quite some time now. My last work, Unlikely Allies: 8 Steps to Bridging Divides that Impact Leadership, was written and published in 2010. I love to write. I just don't make the time to do it as often as I should or desire. Sharing information, empowering, and inspiring people is what I truly love to do. Part of the challenge of why it's taken me so long to write another book is I didn't know what I was going to write about. Should it be about business, politics, inspiration, or motivation? Yes, there are other books with those topics brewing in my mind, but something out of the ordinary happened to me in 2021 and it's been in my heart to share it. When I first received the news, I was stunned. It absolutely took me by surprise, but oddly, I didn't get emotional about it. The follow-up letter, additional tests, and consistent information shared to me by the nurses and doctors prepared me for what was to come. They were kind and gentle with the news. Methodical, prepared, and knowledgeable about everything they expressed to me. You see, they've seen all of what I was to experience before. Probably hundreds of times with all the people they serve. But this was my first time...ever. And so, my story, my journey, will be told and is my next published work. As you read this book, you will note that I switch from first person to third person throughout. Parts of this work are direct comments from my journal on any given day. I pray that these words will be a blessing to you!"And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him; and if he has committed sins, they shall have forgiven him." James 5:15-16

The devotionals for this book were written by the author during the COVID-19 Pandemic of 2020 - 2023. During a time when churches and businesses were closed, the author began to search for ideas and methods to stay in touch with the members of the church that he pastored.Many were confused, worried and contemplating where to turn and what to do. He came up with the idea of devotionals, which were delivered to his parishioners by phone contact two days of each week from 2020 and even continue presently.Members of the congregation welcomed this form of communication when they could not gather in fellowship. Even now, some do not feel safe to gather in crowds and rely on these devotionals as a means of being spiritually fed.These devotionals reflect ways of coping with the times in which we live. We pray that they will bless and encourage each reader to know that God cares and He is an ever-present help in our lives.

And So On is a collection of writings the author has brought together in this, his 23rd self-published book.

As we traverse the path of life have, we ever stopped to think about what it would be like if we became sick or disabled? I am sure that thought is never uppermost in our minds because after all who wants to get sick. We all want to be in good health and live life to its fullest. However, we must be aware that life is not always chocolate and roses, we sometimes must go through the dark valleys and the trenches. Now that I have been through my deep, dark valley and came out victorious I can encourage others to keep your hope alive because "it is not finished until God says it's finished."This book "Walking through the valley" my journey through sickness was compiled as a means of heightening the awareness and faith of the readers who may be going through some of life's challenges. If you or your family members are experiencing any form of illness or have been told by the doctor that your condition does not look good, this is the book for you to read. This book will provide the tools you need to face your tomorrows and force you to pray without ceasing "Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints." (Ephesians 6:18) increase your prayer life. All bible verses that are quoted in this book are taken from the King James Version (KJV), and it is hoped that you will search the scriptures for yourself because in them you will find life. While going through my sickness I was not able to search the bible to find encouraging scriptures, but there were those scriptures in my memory that I recalled to mind. It is therefore important for us to study the scriptures while we have the chance because we will certainly need them in times of crisis.

Noah Gibson comes from a family that has magic in their blood. He is also an overly imaginative seventh grader whose magician father has mysteriously disappeared.

When a little white lie told to his teacher and classmates grows into increasingly fantastical stories about his summer vacation, Noah must find out once and for all whether the reading chair is truly magical, or if his imagination has consumed him. If it's true, then Noah might just have a chance at finding his father and bringing him home safely.

True story of a very talented man who experienced a career ending accident and overcame impossible odds with the help of God

This journal was a vision the Lord gave to me. He told me, it was going to be a must have. That everyone will want to have it. I smiled, and laughed within myself. Telling the Lord, "I receive it." From the title, the cover, and the contents. The vision was very clear. The Lord will not give you an assignment without the directions going forward. He wanted a way to help others heal. That my testimony, poems, and the scriptures. Will help encourage, and uplift the person reading them. In hopes that along the way they might have that breakthrough from the Lord. Philippians 4:6-7 says, (6) Do not be anxious about anything but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. (7) And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Stay on the wall, and never give up. Nehemiah was given the task of rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem. Stay focused on what God has called you to do. Remain steadfast and trust in His plan. For Life is worth the living, because He lives!

In a nutshell, Christianity is one of the greatest if not the greatest hoax ever perpetuated on people in the history of the universe. It is practically all fantasy of one sort of another that millions of people believe in all over the world and have done so for many centuries since Christianity began. It all could have been made up out of whole cloth. The Old Testament cannot be taken at face value as the creation story was most likely borrowed from other sources and adapted to fit with the author's purpose of explaining how the world began. The Exodus may be entirely fiction and most certainly did not happen the way it is described in the Bible. As far as the New Testament is concerned, it was written decades after the crucifixion of Jesus by people who were not eyewitnesses to the events they described. There may have been a prophet whose teachings drew many followers, but there was certainly no virgin birth, no miracles, and no resurrection. The purpose of all the apocalyptic writing and second coming of Christ may have been motivated by the oppression of the Roman Empire where the Jewish people felt powerless and needed to believe in something that would provide them with a feeling that in the final analysis justice would be done and they would get their revenge. Thus, Christianity needs to be exposed for the fraud that it is which is what this book attempts to do by looking at the history of Christianity, Biblical scholarship, and other aspects of Christianity along with its alternatives.
