I would like to share my thoughts, my feelings about God's plan for Jamel. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of Jamel. The attorney really told me what happened that night. Jamel and Marlo just got off from work, and Marlo's aunt's boyfriend came to pick Marlo up to pick up his kids from his aunt's house, to take them to his wife's house, who he is separated from. Jamel wanted to go just for the ride. They picked up the kids and headed back to Woodstock to drop the kids and Jamel off. Reginald missed the turn-off and decided to stop on the highway and back up to go through the little intersection. A four-wheel drive came around and hit the right side of the car, and there was a U-Haul truck following it and ran into the back of the car, where Jamel, and Marlo's two kids were.God blessed where it was so quiet. The nurse said Jamel didn't feel a thing. His neck was broken first, where he couldn't feel anything from the neck down, whereas his chest was crushed, starting from the back to the front. Marlo said somebody said Jamel was still alive when they were trying to get him out. After they did, Jamel died. The doctor said, in his report, Jamel died quietly. He felt nothing. I sometimes think of this, but when I do, this is what the Lord lets me see. I see Jamel in this accident, but two angels were right there waiting and took Jamel by his two hands, and they all flew away together, up to heaven. Now, when I think of Jamel, I see him with a glorified body, happy. And when I pray, God reminds me that Jamel is okay.

What happens when a mischievous cat wanders into a family's yard? Will he stay or will he go?

Progress...Not So MuchIn times past, the shoemaker, or cobbler, was as important as a cooper (barrel maker), blacksmith, lumberman, or cattleman. In fact, maybe he was more important since all the other trades needed his services to perform theirs. Everyone needed shoes, but where would the lumberman be without proper boots, belts, and suspenders? How about the chaps the range riders used to protect their legs from briars and thistles? Halters, bridles, reigns, buggy whips, and saddles were just some of the products a cobbler would produce. And in time they would all need repair. Gloves and many types of protective gear were made of leather. Hides were abundantly available from buffalo, bison, deer, elk, and smaller animals, such as rabbit, raccoon, fox, coyote, wolf, and other small species. Many cobblers were artists with the ability to transform raw material into something beautiful and comfortable with the expertise of a tailor or dressmaker. Doctors would write prescriptions for special attention in balancing a patient's stand by modifying their shoes. And someone had to be able to change the color of a leather product to comply with a customer's needs. This book opens the door on the private lives of two cobblers. My father and grandfather enjoyed the work they did, and as world production of inexpensive and inferior shoes took over the market, they found it too costly to compete. Aurel Dikin Sr. was the younger, but taller of the two shoemakers. The stories are my parents' stories, which I promised I would put together and share in my memory and love for them. Both have passed away years ago, and I'm honored to share their memories.

And when he arrived, he found the difficulty in his acceptance was his own intellect. His learning had been, as his teacher stressed, step-by-step, and so much had to be left behind to make way for the new. There were many times he thought he was a slacker, but he never gave up. His love of the search and his perseverance finally pay off, and he learns the truth of the Law of Laws.

Born in the late 1940's and early 50's and raised in a segregated town in southern Mississippi, a group of Black girls and boys came of age together, and graduated from high school in Hattiesburg as "e;The Class of 1968."e; Now in their late 60's and early 70's, they have chosen to reflect on their families, community, and school experiences. Together, they experienced one of the most tumultuous eras in U.S. history, and they reflect on those experiences in these personal essays. They think back on the Vietnam War, the draft, the assassination of their neighbors and national leaders, and the Civil Rights Movement. The fact that they came of age during these tumultuous events makes their experiences all the more vivid and profound, since the tender adolescent years typically mark us more profoundly than other phases in life. Perhaps most significantly, the era suddenly brought racial desegregation to Hattiesburg, in early 1967. Under "e;Freedom of [School] Choice,"e; some Black Hattiesburg students saw their lifelong friends choose to attend the white high school for their senior year. Their stories bring forth a rush of memories, some that will make you laugh, others that will make you cry, and many that will make you wonder how things may have turned out differently had racism not poisoned their day-to-day lives. Although the contributors dealt with these formative experiences differently, all were touched in some way by the same forces in the dying days of legalized segregation. The essays here also reflect on our present moment: although racial segregation has lessened, it still persists in Hattiesburg and throughout America, leading to an era we might call racial resegregation. Yet the 1950's and 60's have ended. "e;We don't want these memories to die with us,"e; says lead editor Mrs. Doris Gaines. "e;We want the next generations to know our thoughts and feelings and to understand how the past helped make us what we are today, and what made us tick."e; The Class of 1968: A Thread Through Time explains how these citizens negotiated their youth in Hattiesburg and, in doing so, offers us wisdom about how to move through life with grace and integrity.

An epic achievement over one hundred years in the makingIn December 1941, Japan had perhaps the greatest combination of land, sea, and air forces the world had ever seen, and she used these to conquer a huge empire in the Western Pacific and East Asia. Yet by August 1945, Japan had been beaten to her knees by the combined power of China, Great Britain, and the United States. Was this destruction inevitable? Did Japan have no chance to defeat America and her allies? Why would she think she could successfully battle the two greatest industrial powers the world had ever known-Great Britain and the United States-at the same time?Violet Lightning: A Blueprint for Japanese Victory in the Pacific, 1941-1942 is a sweeping narrative over a century in the making. From the first confrontation in 1895 between the United States and Japan over Hawaii; to the massive Japanese defeats at Midway and Guadalcanal in 1942; to author John Eric Vining's first interest in the Japanese-American conflict in the fall of 1967 by reading Carrier War in the Pacific; to the fall of 1995 when Vining first put pen to paper on this project; and finally, to 2020's finished product by Page Publishing, Vining reviews a history of the acrimony between Japan and the United States in the first half of the Twentieth Century. He then builds what one reviewer calls a "e;chillingly believable"e; scenario for a Japanese victory in the greatest of all wars. Violet Lightning poses and answers the question: "e;Could Japan really have pulled it off?"e; You just might find yourself coming around to a point of view you didn't believe was possible.

Over the last twenty years of the 20th Century, set in Georgia and primarily in southern California, Patrick Kirk writes a fictional account of the lives of Bryan and Carolyn Jenkins as they traverse the "e;yuppies gotta have it all"e; lifestyle. The story is in some ways a high-tech suspense thriller; part romance, part spy novel. It is about business, mentorship, career changes and their effects on a marriage and having a family in the 90's. It's also about corporate corruption and greed and how the PC software revolution assisted in the decline in American business values. It's a dissection of the Enron-driven rolling electrical blackouts and the company's ultimate demise. Some of the story lines are imagined after people, places, events and technology encountered by the author during his thirty years in the PC software business.

Little Storm came to Cora Phenix shortly after she gave birth to their first daughter, Rhea. She was lying in bed one night, sleep-deprived, trying to get some rest. Next thing she remembers was these verses ringing loud and clear in her head: "e;Little Cloud and Little Storm / Met one day when it was warm."e; She jumped up, picked up her phone from her dresser, and wrote them down. The next morning, she looked at them, and in less than an hour, she wrote the entire thing. Words were coming to her as if whispered by someone else who already knew them, like a dictation. She had no struggle putting them down. For the past five years, this book sat in her phone, waiting to be published. The new mother stage she has just entered then opened a door and allowed this to come out. That fragile little human in her arms who was crying when hungry, laughing when happy, and sleeping when tired inspired this story to come to life. So she dedicates this book to you, new mom from the past, present, and future, and to your little children to tell you that you are a miracle! You are divine perfection and everything you do is perfect!

A coming-of-age and picaresque story, with a continuum of knee-jerk humor and descriptive details, sees its way through the unpleasantness of abuse and not having any permanent roots or family. Readers follow the main character from childhood to adulthood as he is shifted from multiple homes and states. Throughout the character's journey, the persona he develops is born from innocence, natural-given talents, and his desires to make happiness exist. Although the story begins with horrific abuse, the reader soon realizes that this is not the focus of the book but rather the beginning of a quest. The author's intent is for readers to question "e;What happened?"e; Some questions cannot be answered and remain a mystery. The coming-of-age and rite-of-passage events remind readers of their own stories to tell and compare. A collage of images and feelings will take readers back to their childhood memories as they shadow the main character. The happiness, bitterness, and humor are fueled by extreme turning points and multiple changes of ideologies, cultures, and idiosyncrasies that molded the main character into a psychedelic hodgepodge of personality. Readers will take on all the emotional elements, experiences, and constant changes as they were happening. They uncover the answers and realizations of feeling alone and unwanted until they are warmed and tickled by the character's way of viewing the world. The title of the book and each chapter reflects the constant changes during the main character's life. The theme, style, and language are comparable to Angela's Ashes, A Child Called "e;It,"e;, and I'm Nobody's Child. It is not a woe-is-me book. The detailed descriptions allow readers to feel the despair of what it is like being an anomaly but, more importantly, to enjoy and have fun learning about typical boy fantasies, thoughts, rationales, and the angst and anxieties of growing up.

This book is a part two to my first book, The Truth You Didn't Know. My first book was LUNCH, but this part two is DINNER. And it's even bumpier than part one was. You will enjoy reading part two just like part one. Thanks for reading The Other Truth You Didn't Know. Lakisha Marie Mackie

SOPHIESince the moment I saw his face, my life has been in chaos. I don't know his name, but still I see him night after night-his striking face appearing in my dream. Is it a portent of things to come, warning me to run from him? Or could it mean something else? I can't seem to make any sense of it, and lately, my idyllic life hasn't been so idyllic. I can't tell my parents about these impossible things I can do because I don't want to see that fear in their eyes-the same fear I feel growing stronger in me every day. So instead of running, I make the decision to trust him. I let him calm my fear while I confront truths I'd rather keep hidden. Still, I can't tell him that my greatest fear is the little time we have left. Soon, I'll have to watch him walk away. ZACHI've done some things I'm not proud of, but who hasn't? Okay, maybe I've done a few more than most, but these days I don't give into those distractions. Especially when I feel the consequences in ways nobody could ever understand. Now, I occupy my time by going where I'm needed. I keep things calm and controlled while helping them see the hard choices they'll have to make. I've done it countless times. Except nothing about this girl is like those other times. There's more for her to fear than just these strange, but extraordinary things she can do-she also has a past she doesn't even know about yet. So even if she would prefer to keep me at a distance, I simply can't let that happen. I need to know her secrets and keep her safe. It's what I do. I'm the empath.
