    Being Catholic.Are you:¿A cradle Catholic born into the faith and a regular participant in Sunday Worship yet unable to defend your faith?¿A lukewarm, pew Catholic going through the motions?¿An inactive Catholic, believing but barely attending Mass except for Easter and Christmas, weddings and funerals?¿A Fallen Away Catholic, angry at the Church for a slight, real or otherwise? ¿A Catholic who has left the Church to enter into another religious affiliation because Mass was boring?¿A new Catholic, wondering if you fully understand what you have professed?¿Thinking about becoming Catholic but not sure if you can accept or live with what the Church teaches? ¿An intentional Catholic, openly living and sharing the joy, doctrine and dogma of the Church that has endured for centuries.There are over a billion Catholics in the world. How many Catholics actually live and love their faith may be in question but those who are intentionally Catholic are united every day in the struggle to live and understand the teachings and traditions instilled in this universal identity since Jesus Christ first appeared on the scene. Some have died for the faith and others walk away when called to defend it. Some identify with the crucified Christ and others with the resurrected Christ. Some deem obedience the crucial element needed to be true, while others consider love to be essential in the teachings of the Catholic faith. Many spend their whole lives devoted to the Church answering when called to serve, supporting the Church in all her needs, savoring the joys that can be found therein.Whoever you are, Ms. Scoyola invites you to enter into her experience of thirty plus years in the service of the Church. She returned to the faith after an absence of twenty years, guilty but repentant and found reconciliation and redemption. In her years of serving in several parishes of the Archdiocese of Galveston Houston in Texas, she directed the formation of hundred

    Do you feel forgotten?Forgotten by your family and friends? Your hometown or country? Maybe even by God or love?Author Justin Israel understands. After his military service in the US Air Force, he became a contractor working in Iraq and Afghanistan as a firefighter. Then he came back home yet these high-risk jobs took a toll, and Israel didn't feel supported, personally or in the bigger picture. He suffered from PTSD, and watching society strain under political in-fighting didn't help. What started as a coping strategy-writing about his experiences and feelings-has become a book, Penning Patience, that Israel hopes will help others remember that you have not been forgotten, no matter how dark it may seem because through the Lord, you too can overcome any tribulation.

While she struggled at first to communicate verbally with new classmates and teachers, she never stopped writing. In these pieces, one can feel her initial fears and attempts at finding consolation in writing. One can also see her gradual growth as an individual and eventual satisfaction with her new home. Essentially, Sunflower Seeds seeks to capture all the peaks and valleys of adolescence.

    In the beginning when I first started writing the Chef's Corner stories, articles, and memories, I included a recipe with each and every story. Over the years that has added up to over 200 recipes. In The Ramblings of an Old Man, Book 1, I included the original recipe attached to each story published. In Book 2; however, I wanted to increase the number of stories so I decided to print only one of my favorite recipes for each month.

    Many question why a God, who is so loving, would allow so much hurt to come upon so many innocent people in the world. The Bible does address this. But! It has not been understood, because of several key facts that have been over-looked throughout the years. God did not have His writers to script history in chronological order. Thus! The contents can be confusing, contradictory, and confounding. Once we learn to hear from God, He will speak to us, through the scriptures and tell us what goes where. Is it a puzzle? One may think so. Only He knows exactly where the pieces should be placed. The problem, throughout the years has been that we only listen to who we believe. But! Where did they receive their knowledge? They gleaned from others, who they trusted. Many, not wanting to hear from anyone else, have closed their minds to everyone, who is not within their circle. But! When we trust, believe and hear from God, He will direct our path to a clear understanding. Within the pages of Hidden in Plain View, are several facts that God shared with me. Open your mind by putting aside what you have been taught, and allow the Scriptures to come alive with some amazing truths. Hopefully! You will see what God wants you to see about His Love, and you will be able to erase some "religious teachings" that caused many unbelievers to continue to not believe. God's Word is true. See what has been Hidden in Plain View.

    This is a small book with some thirty photographs, some beautiful, some grim. The book especially remembers and memorializes two Aiken, SC, law enforcement officers who were shot to death while doing their duty. The two died, a decade ago, from bullets to their heads. Their abrupt, unexpected deaths (and other like deaths) have placed the temper of police and policing on a short fuse. A second theme is to analyze the post-mortems on George Floyd, to see what evidence they offer for his cause of death. There is little concrete evidence in these post-mortems for an officer-inflicted cause of death. The postmortems reveal potential causes of death, all non-traumatic, such as established heart disease, and ingested Fentanyl and other drugs. George Floyd's specific cause of death, while easy to speculate upon, is not so easy to assign. It is written that philosophy is the tool one uses to debunk myth, to demystify myth to arrive at a better truth. Here is some philosophy. A third theme examines how we raise our children. The book addresses the mal effects the phenomena known as Adverse Childhood Events have on the developing child. These events are known to harm children both emotionally and physically. The mechanism of injury from such abuse is being studied and is thought by some investigators to be the inhibition of brain growth, particularly in the filling in of specific zones of gray matter.Blackbeard Island is an island of low sand and maritime forest. Accessible only by boat, it is a federal wildlife refuge on the mid-Georgia coast. Its acreage is a third of Manhattan's; its permanent population is zero. Larger, harder Manhattan has close to two million residents.
