Genealogical research has never been more accessible than in this age of digitized information. Learning about one's ancestors bestows a sense of who we are and our place in the world. Finding Odin was born from the author's curiosity and search for wisdom as she explored for Scandinavian ancestors. Surprisingly, she found Odin (surmised to be a mortal sixtieth great-grandfather) in her genealogical quest. Finding Odin describes many family connections discovered in twelfth- and thirteenth-century manuscripts, Old Norse sagas, and the work of contemporary researchers reaching back to the first century of the common era and up to the present. We inherit gifts from our ancestors that we often take for granted. Each of us contains within us this inheritance of soul. We are links between the ages, including past and present expectations, sacred memories, and future promises. Finding Odin explores those links.

Too many kids with guns are driving up violent crime rates and needless firearm deaths. What can we do about it? This book contains over two dozen solutions that will reduce firearm deaths without invoking the wrath of the U.S. Supreme Court, or violating anyone's second amendment gun rights. Many only require a signature. There are an estimated 50 million Gun owners in the United States. Taking everyone's guns away is neither practical, nor legal. Gun buy-backs do not reduce crime. Defunding police does not work. Guin laws are ignored by criminals. This book is neither pro-gun, nor anti-gun. It explores the experiences, the statistics, and the impact of various gun control strategies that have been used globally as well as within individual States. Much of what we are doing has already been proven to be ineffective in other countries. Some strategies do work & where statistics support these approaches, this book expands on them in detail. The author has also injected a few personal suggestions and insights into the problems of trying to control guns by mandates, rather than by using voluntary measures, which produce a better result with less government intrusion. In the end, the author proposes five major initiatives that can substantially reduce overall crime and death or injury from firearms.

Can science offer continued life? Is there life, after death? Is there really a God and a soul? In the case of Mr. Bradley (Buddy) Karr, a man with little more than the ambition to get a good night's sleep, these mysteries come to surface in the twisted events of his five recurring dreams; each traveling a path to question science and faith. Why can he recall the events of these nocturnal adventures, but not comprehend a single word of dialog. Buddy undergoes sleep observation tests with speech inducement drugs. The analytic comparisons of the gibberish recorded by the clinic and his clear awakened narrations provide clues, but they are still unable to decipher any word meanings. Buddy's tapes are sent to linguists and cryptologists for translation whereby a startling composition is finally created; one that generates broader questions. Buddy begins his own quest to locate sources ignoring advice and warnings from his doctors and friends. Aided by of a fair-weathered friendly clergyman: Reverend John Benson, the two set out to follow clues as Buddy becomes obsessed with the pursuit of a resolution that might cost him his life and endanger his friends and colleagues. Time has become a factor as Reverend Benson ponders his own beliefs. Failure in his mission could bring him to say goodbye to a healthy vibrant young victim of an ungodly mistake .

CARNIVAL OF SHAME is a reflective commentary on the Fifty-Year Conservative "Assault on America," from the 1971 "Powell" political grand design to save "Capitalism from Democracy" and the 1981 Republican "Trickle-Down" Revolution to the January 6, 2021 Republican violent insurrection to overturn the Constitution and the electoral will of the people. Yesterday's America of promise, opportunity, and prosperity for the many is today an America of "concentrated wealth," wealthy tax cuts, and a Republican Subsistence "Trickle-Down" Society for the "surplus" left behind. The time is now the moment is here for a People of Liberty to come together for an America of secure democratic institutions, a strong middle class, and a Republic of "Liberty and Justice for All.

When I was a child my hair would tangle with the breeze of a whisper. On the verge of tears at the mere sight of my brush, Nana would distract me by scolding the wild animals she said were causing my tangles. Years later I used the same distraction for my daughters, and now granddaughters. I have braided this everyday experience into a ridiculous rhyme which I completed after several days of detangling and rebraiding my youngest granddaughter's hair.

Frances Sweet, and Fritz Jaensch use their diverse expertise to deliver a deeper level of understanding of the ways in which science and religion can coexist.Relying on a thorough knowledge of physics, theology, and mathematics, this study addresses the paradox of how God communicates with our material world without violating any of the laws of science.
