The Bible is a book unlike any other book ever written. God used different men, over a period of time, to record His thoughts and words to mankind. In essence, the men were the pen (or quill) in the hand of God. Each of our lives is also a book to be read by others. Some books have more chapters. Some have longer chapters. Some have more colorful chapters. With some, the ending is too abrupt.Ordinary Man/Extraordinary God is my attempt to be a pen in the hand of God. It is my attempt to brag about God by recalling His involvement in my life. I hope it inspires you to reflect and look for moments where you can brag about Him too.

The good news is it doesn't matter what ails you or the name of the disease, God has not changed His mind about you walking in divine health. If God didn't want you healed, then He would not have sent His Son to die on the cross for your sins, sicknesses, and diseases. There are healing miracles with your name on it. Your sickness or disease hasn't taken God by surprise. You can be healed. It doesn't matter what the disease or sickness is, whether it has a name or not, healing is yours. It's time to be healed and start walking in divine health.

The Mystery of God's Holiness: God's Good News for the Gentiles contains two threads that run throughout the entire Bible. It illuminates for the reader the origins and spread of God's holiness, from the day God told Moses that his feet were standing on holy ground to the time the creatures in John's book of Revelation cry, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty." It also sheds light on God's extension of the good news from Palestine to all nations of the earth. For when Jesus Christ confronted Paul, and he was converted on the Road to Damascus, Jesus appointed Paul as his apostle to the Gentiles. So Paul devoted the rest of his life to spreading the Good News and founding Christian churches throughout the Roman Empire. The result is that this Good News has gone from the Roman Empire to Europe, to America, and around the entire world. This book also provides what one might call a minicourse on church history, from the time of Jesus to the present day.

He was preparing her for the life He laid out for her and her family to raise a child with disabilities.You will hear her crying out to God in fear and anger as she tries to understand His reasoning for allowing her precious son to have these disabilities, which at times seemed like the enemy himself was in total control.

The EPA came to numerous towns in the mining west armed with a computer program that they were certain was more accurate than any testing method for determining blood lead that was currently known to man. The EPA accepted the computer output as near sacred, while they mocked real-life, raw data. This resulted in declaring a phony health hazard, followed by the labeling of properties with the death kiss of Superfund. Complaints ensued, with the most legitimate protests coming from innocent victims. Congress had created this legal mutant but could not or would not fix it.Meanwhile, the courts were of little remedy since judges jumped from their lonely, intellectual orientation onto the chummy, buffoonery, chessboard of Democrats and Republicans. That platform that has lost its own moral up and down, all the while the courts get to dissect laws so far beyond sunlight that the consideration of common sense is beyond the pale.This is the story of several communities' battle with an immoral, misguided law.

I titled my book The Words That Thou Gavest Me because they are exactly that. All my poems have come from my quiet time with Jesus. They have come from what the Holy Spirit has spoken and revealed to me during prayer time, trials of life, and victories that I have walked through. He will speak if we will listen. All glory, honor, and praise be to the Father through Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior.And, yes, perhaps my word bone is connected to my rhyme bone.

In her final year of teaching, Jocelyn Turner spent over one-fifth of each week administering mandatory tests and quizzes. She spent the remaining time preparing students to take those specific exams, regardless of the background knowledge and preparedness of individual students. While she was testing, she could not teach. Teachers were expected to present the same Common Core-based, grade-specific material to all their students at the same time-- whether Jake was reading at a first-grade level or Taylor at a ninth-grade level. It was a rare and lucky child who fit the profile of the year's onslaught of tests.Since No Child Left Behind, US schools have been burying students in tests and then drawing often misguided conclusions--when sometimes the only conclusion anyone ought to draw is that student X obviously spent hours staring at a set of questions he or she did not understand and maybe could not even read.We have been told that US education is in crisis. Ms. Turner agrees. In Fighting the White Knight, she argues that government mandates created and are now perpetuating this crisis, depriving children of remedial learning, instruction time, and personal attention.Fighting the White Knight also looks at the $1.6 trillion student debt crisis, a consequence of today's single-minded, college-bound pipeline; vocabulary deficits left to fester due to narrowly targeted curricula; and the sneaky gutting of elective, vocational/technical, and gifted education.Ms. Turner concludes by advocating for changes she believes can rescue American education--guiding children back to the safe, inspirational learning experiences of a more student-focused time.

Through hospitalization, surgeries, and all the things to follow, their faith in God, prayer, and support from the community carried them through this difficult trial.
