With help from his only parent, an active imagination and encouragement from his imaginary friend, Sydney grows into becoming a confident, compassionate individual whose desire for social involvement leads to his evolution as a leader. In The Stutterer, Sydney develops the confidence to express his thoughts despite his impediment. His renewed confidence and leadership empower him to be accepted for who he is. By Marilyn E.

Look to the Birds and Be Leisurely Unoccupied is an interactive prayer devotional that invites the reader to explore and engage with Scripture and prayer to edify faith and trust in God. We're ensured by the verse in Matthew 6:26 that as the Father provides for the birds, and He will provide for His people, too. God is the ultimate Provider. Just as encouraging, the Psalmist of the Old Testament offers courage in Psalm 46:9-10, that God is the Problem-Solver and will be victorious in any battle that needs fighting. His people need only "be leisurely (peaceful) unoccupied (without care)" and know that He is God. The end result is experiencing life of unprecedented peace, just like the birds.

Olson is an experienced educator, both in Sabbath School and at a Christian college.

Footprints is a collection of poems that were either written or revised recently or recalled from work begun and lost fifty years before. Some recall pleasant memories of my beloved Veronica and some her later struggles with ill health. She was born and grew up in Dublin and Ireland remained a special place for both of us. The DART from Howth to Greystones "tunnels under Queen V's crown and pops out for the view above Killiney Bay" where "the magic face of Ireland is found." We met and married in Syracuse. Events and places from that time are featured in some of the poems. Newtown Plus Five was written shortly after news coverage of the fifth anniversary of the Sandy Hook school massacre. An Elegy for One and Many commemorates the life of a friend the victims of the Pittsburgh synagogue rampage who died during the same period of time. Many of the poems are written in traditional verse forms and rhyme schemes.A number of poems reflect concerns about America: the face it presents to the world and the state of its democracy. Ode from a Colonial Bowl recounts a family history of its founding.Flint where "once-upon-a-time America coursed through (its) leaden arteries to nurse its middle class." In Vietnam "we've grown old, some fifty years removed from when our universe was rolled into a white-hot ball," to find the common threads we shared in youth to pursue our common legacy. American Graffiti asks, "Can Cicero and Caesar coexist within republican constraint?"Let Freedom Ring calls upon us to answer "the distant bells of freedom pealing " in Ukraine. The challenge is to understand how both poems can be compatible in our logic.

"Infinity" by Leonard Zimmerman, MD. The country Truman is on planet #3 in another galaxy. The planet is an identical copy of Earth in our galaxy, and Truman has the same geography, atmosphere, water, people, and history as the U.S. Because Truman was headed for decline, much in the same way the U.S. appears to be now, the experts in Evolutionary Psychology decided to implement a comprehensive program to educate the populace in the understanding of how all human nature is the product of these principles. It was taught in the schools. They were successful, turning hatred and jealousy into kindness and altruistic thinking. The Golden Rule was resurrected and people followed it. People felt content and fulfilled. They were happy. The elders of Truman decided some mature, high functioning adults undergo a process to stop their aging process. It required an intergalactic journey. Max Brand was one who was chosen. His journey went awry and he ended up on Earth, 4000 years ago. He befriended and assisted Abraham. Because of previously unknown time-space anomaly, he eventually came to live in The U.S. during present times. MAX QUICKLY SAW THE U.S. WAS IN WORSE SHAPE THAN TRUMAN WAS BEFORE IT INSTITUTED ITS EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM. This felt intolerable to him as knew if did not have to be that way. He sought psychiatric help. Jessie Genkins and Max Brand agreed to devote the rest of their lives to educating the population of the U.S. about how Evolution, properly understood, would explain, the ROOT CAUSES of our trouble. MAX went public. The media was captivated. He and Jessie attended many public forums for debate. They addressed most of the major issues, which without the benefit of Evolutionary understanding, were misleading people about causation of problems. Detailed, scientific but practical, explanations were provided how certain feelings, beliefs, and behavior were due to misunderstanding of what an evolutionary mechanism was "designed" to accomplish. THE MAJOR EVOLUTIONARY CONCEPTS PRESENTED AND DEBATED WERE: LOSS-The major emotions engendered sadness, depression, and anger-the evolutionary purpose -for it not to happen again-to preserve life. STEREOTYPING, PREDJUDICE, RACISM-evolution built pattern recognition to preserve life-people or things that had similar patterns helped a human to decide if something was safe or dangerous-we all do it-prejudge to stay alive, but we often prejudge unfairly-we need to know when we are doing it so as to act fairly. HEROES AND LEADERS-we are willing to give up autonomy to get a better benefit. We give those more educated or physically competent power over us so as to protect us and loved ones better than we would be able ourselves. ALTRUISM-GOOD WILL TOWARDS ALL-THE GOLDEN RULE-we have done best when we cooperate-if we are kind to others, they will likely be kind to us when we are in need. MORAL RULES TO LIVE BY-The evolutionary mechanisms in our brains let us know it is almost always better to cooperate, rather than be harmed or die. Compete fairly. POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY-do not be misled by the comfort of voting for someone who will simply protect what you have. It may be wiser to give up more than you might prefer, and to select one whose goal is fairness and what is best for society. GOD and INFINITY-They share a sense of awe, grace, perfection, and power but also of unknowability.

Coming back from a torn rotator cuff that slows his dream of major league stardom, he has completed his first post-injury season with their farm team in Greenville, South Carolina. But his success as their top relief pitcher does not lead to a call up to Atlanta at the end of the Greenville season. Did the Braves executives think his repaired shoulder wasn't good enough for major league competition? He needed answers and would go to Atlanta to meet with their general manager to find them. But Brett has more on his mind than baseball. Raised by a single mom, he had never been allowed to meet his father. Brett never knew why. His mother just told him, "It's not possible." And at age 25, Brett wonders if he will ever find the right girl to spend the rest of his life with. No current girlfriend, with none on the horizon, had both Brett (and his mother) concerned. But things were about to rapidly change. The following season Brett finds himself assigned to the Braves minor league team in Rome, Georgia as a player coach. A series of random events brings new people and new challenges into Brett's life. Would they also lead him to the answers he needed to find his way home?

The Citrus County Chronicle was a small county-seat weekly when Gerry Mulligan joined it in the late 1970's. Over the next 43 years, he led the charge to turn the newspaper into a seven-day daily in one of the state's fastest growing markets. Along the way he was bitten by snakes, screamed at by sheriffs, maligned by politicians and ultimately had 'poop in his shoe' from his own dog. Over four decades, he never once missed writing his weekly column. For more than 2,200 consecutive weeks he told the stories of his community. Some were funny, some were sad and a few put Mulligan in the hospital. In Out the Window, you can enjoy some of the best.
