Jackson Namibia is a typical middle grade schooler who dreads not only his first day of school, but the "crime spree three". A group of rough and tough students he gave that name to last year. We follow along as Jackson enters a new school year and is faced with the scariest, most overwhelming task he has ever taken on, standing up for himself. But defending himself and his friends from bullies aren't his biggest obstacles, believing in himself is. We watch as he enters a competition that challenges more than his popularity, but the very impression Jackson has of himself. He meets some pretty big feelings as he realizes he already possess all of the qualities to overcome the very thing he is afraid to do. This heartwarming tale about courage in the face of anxiety, fear and doubt takes us on a wild ride as he flops between finding the courage to win the biggest contest he's ever been in or the chances of him just landing flat on his face. "Jackson Speaks is a captivating and appealing story about conquering difference. The powerful embedded strategies will support and transform the reader's self-doubt to self-confidence." - Gloriane R. Smith, Literacy Program Manager "Nickerson eloquently presents the reader with topics and events parent, students and educators encounter today, more than ever before in the educational setting. I am particularly impressed and thrilled about the importance placed on parents support of their child's emotional needs throughout the story. As a school counselor, I will certainly use this book to guide small group lessons with students; discussing themes such as bullying, having a growth mindset, positive self-estem and relevance in their lives." - Nichole Q. McCroskey, Med School Counselor Reading Age: 6 - 10 Grade Level: 1 - 4 580L

Ideas, beliefs, values, attitudes, and feelings shift, pendulums swing, and lifestyles change. With reference to male and female sexuality, we, as a society, don't think the same things that we used to think thirty or so years ago (and even less years than that). Roles are different, new laws have been passed, culture has changed, and some of our traditions have been fading. Even new medical surgeries are being performed. Some have been performed for a while and some haven't, because they are so new. Men can become women, physically and anatomically, and women can become men, physically and anatomically.

This book is about the story behind the song. I personally feel that every song has a story to tell or a reason for that song being written. I also believe that if you knew the story behind the song, it would make the song more interesting. This is just a few of the songs that I have written and the story behind the song.

According to a 2018 study by UCLA and Dartsmouth researchers, friends are "cognitively homophilous," meaning they share similar neural brain patterns. In layman's terms, the brains of friends respond in remarkably parallel ways, literally meaning friends are on the same wavelength.Aristotle advanced this basic notion over 2,300 years ago, writing, "Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies." Aristotle was most likely philosophizing about the relationship referred to today as "soulmate." On the amity scale, soulmates are at the pinnacle. Because they can sometimes read each other's mind and think the same thought at the same time, this may be a spiritual bond.Whatever wavelength we have is a gift from God, as He has all the bandwidth. His love for all of mankind, or agape (selfless) love, is a supreme passion that we can, at best, only try to imagine. This is a book about the best kind of human love... be it eros (romantic)... storge (familial)... or philia (brotherly)... the kind of love that comes from being on the same wavelength as another soul.Wavelengths is divided into three sections. The first part, Exploration, consists of four essays, all dealing with love: love for the Venezuela that was, for a high-school military academy, for God and for a very special shady lady. The subsequent section, Excursion, is made up of bursts of love for trains, friends, a child, a woman and above all, God. Excursion also features vignettes on Las Vegas, boating, briefcases, Butler, Beatles and Joan Baez. The final section, Immersion, is comprised of five articles about a brilliant singer-songwriter, a unique human being and the author's friend, Mickey Newbury.Join the author on this journey through his unique experiences, and you just might tune in to a few new wavelengths.

The Book of Psalms in the Bible attracts a great deal of devotional attention from many people, including this author. This attention turned in the Spring of 1993 toward a project of translating the Psalter from the original Hebrew. This was as a spiritual as well as scholarly task for me. The end product, with a few other Hebrew poems added to the collection, came complete in the Spring of 1994. In the late summer of 2022, I took to revisiting my work, revising and correcting it as I found it necessary, and brought to this format in the late Autumn of the same year. I had sought to provide a translation in the immediacy of the present tense, as free as I could manage of the generic masculine, and as lively as I could manage to formulate. I wanted to convey the energy of spirit and of devotion that I felt in the text as I had engaged it. As I brought my revisitation to a conclusion, I felt I had achieved what I had hoped and wished to share it all with what readers I may accumulate, hopefully you.
