We know by the calendar when spring officially begins, but how does nature tell us spring has come? In Heralds of Spring in Texas Roland H. Wauer walks us through Texas, from the Rio Grande to the Panhandle, as spring arrives.In addition to offering us his own special memories of spring in Texas, Wauer brings together the thoughts of other Texas naturalists, professional and avocational, and details and background information about the particular herald being considered. Each chapter is also illustrated with a beautiful pen-and-ink drawing by Ralph Scott. Harbingers of spring explore birds, trees, flowers, mammals, and even the night sky.For many along the Gulf Coast, the arrival of the first purple martin signifies the season. As Petra Hockey of Port O'Connor says, "e;I run outside to welcome them, and they seem just as happy to be back as I am to have them. Now spring has arrived."e; In the Trans-Pecos, two welcome signs of spring are the blooming of the Big Bend bluebonnets and the arrival of Cassin's kingbirds in the Davis Mountains. But for Mark Adams of the McDonald Observatory, "e;as the Earth swings closer to spring,... Pegasus, the Winged Horse, emerges from the solar glare into the predawn sky...My spring herald."e;For many in Central Texas, spring has come when the Mexican buckeyes and redbuds begin flowering and the golden-cheeked warbler arrives. But for Burr Williams, in the Panhandle and Western Plains, "e;spring is best expressed by the myriad of invertebrate tracks that he finds on the sand dunes at Monahans State Park."e;Anyone who loves outdoor Texas will relish this delightful celebration of spring.

The Golden Crescent of South Texas, a fifteen-county region along the central Gulf Coast, is often called "e;the Crossroads"e; because of its natural diversity. Located in the heart of the coastal prairies and marshes, the area also encompasses the edges of the South Texas Plains, Post Oak Savannah, and Blackland Prairie. This confluence of ecological zones makes it a wonderful place for birding and for observing the changing face of nature, especially during seasonal transitions.In this book, Roland Wauer describes a typical year in the natural life of South Texas. Using selected entries from his weekly column in the Victoria Avalanche newspaper, he discusses numerous topics for each month, from the first appearance of butterflies in January, to alligators in July, to Christmas Bird Counts in December. His observations are filled with intriguing natural history lore, from what sounds mockingbirds will imitate (almost any noise in their neighborhood) to how armadillos swim (by inflating themselves to increase their buoyancy).

Embracing the Law of Attraction was written with the hope that the reader will be able to relate to the stories and scriptures. The book is designed to help the readers identify areas of their lives that need changing. By using the workbook, affirmations, scriptures, and the journal, the diligent student will begin to experience small changes, or perhaps large changes. By documenting their growth over time, the student will really begin to see how the Law of Attraction works and see their lives improve. The people who can help along the way, the opportunities that will be offered because of the change in thinking patterns, will impress them. Change and Light will become a regular part of life. Life is supposed to be FUN! Have fun with your life! Start laughing at all the little gifts that are sent your way.J.M. Jones enjoyed every moment that was used in connecting thoughts and ideas, finding relevant quotations, and Bible scripture. Her belief that each person creates their own life by the thoughts they think, has completely impacted the message of embracing the law of attraction. Since her own life has changed and has been greatly impacted by being conscious of her thoughts, it was only natural for her, a teacher, to want to share it. Part of the change includes finding daily small things to bring joy. The attitude of daily gratitude keeps the sun shining. J.M. Jones is surrounded by natural opportunities to embrace all that is beautiful in the lakes, mountains, and people, and embracing nature, honesty, and goodness, because Life is meant to be fun!

This historical novel spans the reigns of the Roman Caesars Tiberius through Nero. It tells the story of the fledgling early church and how they were impacted by Roman law and rule. The apostle Paul traveled extensively throughout that world, visiting metropolitan cities, fearlessly taking the Gospel of Jesus Christ straight into the heart of pagan worship. He suffered hunger, stoning, prison, flogging, beating, being shipwrecked three times, and being in constant danger of bandits. Yet throughout all of these reverses, he courageously and fearlessly defended his message and his God-given calling. Interwoven throughout the pages of this story are two Roman soldiers, Marcos and Gaius, who walk the Jerusalem wall, observing from their Roman viewpoint all that is going on in the Jewish world. They observe the persecutions led by Saul and, later, the puzzling change in his life. Eventually, because of the impact a changed Paul has upon their lives, they come to know his Christ. This very real and human Paul, along with the electrifying, heart-stopping world in which he and the early church lived, is sure to keep the reader on edge, wondering what can happen next. Paul and this early church were willing to give everything, including their lives, for the truth of the good news that Christ had come to set up his kingdom in the heart of man.

A kid's memories of war and postwar I wrote this book on June 6, 2019, 75 years after D-day, the greatest invasion the world has ever seen. Seven thousand ships, 150.000 troops, 4,000 American and British deaths on the very first day! The courage of the men, who jumped from the landing ships into the sea, sometimes drowning with their heavy equipment, and stormed the beaches under heavy fire from machine guns, rifles, and artillery salvos, is unimaginable. I can't stop thinking about it today with a sense of awe and gratefulness

Mary Eliska Girl Detective The Mystery of the Yellow RoomThe Mystery of the Yellow Room (French Le mystere de la chambre jaune) by Gaston Leroux. One of the first locked-room mystery novels, it appeared serially in France first in the periodical L'Illustration from September 1907 to November 1907 and as a book in 1908 The Mystery of the Yellow Room. Rouletabille solves an attempted murder in a locked room mystery. As re-written by William A. Stricklin in this version Rouletabille is the nickname of 18-year-old journalist Mary Eliska Girl Detective. Sent by her newspaper to investigate, she goes to the Chateau du Glandier and takes along her friend and niece Jacqueline Gray ("e;Jax"e;) who narrates. Marlow Ray is a 30-something daughter of the castle's owner, Professor John Stricklin a renowned French scientist, Marlow Ray is heard to utter a piercing scream while supposedly alone in her room. Her father and other rush to the scene and find a room so securely locked and barred that no one could have entered or made their escape. She is placed under medical treatment while detectives are called in on the case. Each has their pet theory of the crime, all of which seem to be based on logic. Marlow Ray was found near-critically battered in a room adjacent to the laboratory on the castle grounds, with the door still locked from the inside. She recovers slowly but can make no useful testimony. First one and then another member of the household and those associated with it are placed under the light of suspicion. Marlow Ray's fiance is placed in prison to await trial when most of the evidence points to him as the criminal. Rouletabille interrogates several characters: the castle's concierges, Mr. and Mrs. Bernier, the old servant Daddy Jacques, an unfriendly inn landlord and a womanizing gamekeeper, and begins a friendly rivalry with France's top police detective Frederic Larsan, who has been assigned to the case. Larsan suspects Marlow Ray's fiance, a scientist Robert Darzac, to Rouletabille's dismay. More attempts are made on Marlow Ray's life despite Rouletabille and Larsan's protection, and the perpetrator appears to vanish on two occasions when they are closing in on him, echoing Professor John Stricklin's research of "e;matter dissociation"e;. The game-keeper is murdered during the second attempt. Larsan arrests Darzac who is charged with attempted murder. Rouletabille suspects that Darzac has secret reasons not to defend himself and she disappears to America in order to investigate. Two-and-a-half months later, Darzac's trial opens and Rouletabille reappears sensationally from America just in time to tell the court the name of the culprit and to disclose many mysterious details that few readers will have anticipated.

This is a book about a woman that met this man at work. He preyed on her like an animal to get what he wanted from her. He earned her trust on top of everything. She had a hard time getting away from him. Now she is away from him; it puts her into a deep clinical depression from all the trauma he put her through, along with mental abuse. Now years later, she is having a hard time getting on with her life when she always feels that he might be around the corner, waiting. She has to watch her back alone to keep herself safe in the city she lives in. He still walks the streets, finding ways to get even with her, even if it means killing her. He has come close a time or two. There are those possibilities he is up to something to get even. Like in this case, he has tried killing her in her car but failed, but he will come up with some new ways of getting back for what he thinks is her fault or reasoning for him getting into trouble, but you got to remember, he is a sociopath. In a sociopath's mind, it's everybody else's fault that they are in trouble. She has to keep an eye open all the time because he may be closer than she thinks to harming her-or even kill her to get her out of the way.

Through divine intervention, The God of Jesus Christ was given by God to Bishop DeVaughn to bring proper understanding to the Jews and Christians alike of the true identity of Jesus Christ of Nazareth according to the scriptures. This Godsent book serves the purpose on bringing recognition unto the people of God that the church and it's gentile dispensation is coming toward its end, for the fulfillment of that which was spoken of is now fully at hand, "e;that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in"e; (Rom. 11:25).No one can escape God's truth, whether we be Jew or Gentile, rich or poor, intelligent or ignorant. The God of Jesus Christ gives an additional light to the messianic, a helping crossover for the orthodox, and a better understanding to the Christian believer. And he saith unto me, seal not the sayings of the prophecy of the book: For the time is at hand. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

A harrowing year of Southeast Asia behind him, Ernest Michelle Deslatte reports to his new duty station at The Federal Republic of Germany. The soldier from the Acadiana region of Louisiana arrives suffering the symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, a malady considered of little significance in 1970 and one borne by veterans of the Vietnam War as the price of having survived. He struggles with those cerebral wounds as he acclimates to garrison duty in a cold war environment and as he enthusiastically immerses himself into the local Germanic culture. Two young West German women, Monica Ingles and Helena Wald, take interest in him. They introduce him to their society and develop emotional ties to the romantic and mischievous Cajun soldier. They also draw him deep into their world of dangerous, political ideological intrigue.
