Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of an election and who is responsible for overseeing how they are conducted? Most people have not because they show up to their polling place, stand in line for a few minutes, sign in at the registration desk, go to the next station to get their ballot, walk to the next station to mark their ballot, and finally take their ballot and insert it in the voting machine-don't forget your "I VOTED" sticker!Overworked and Underpaid provides a look into the life of one of these professionals. These general registrars/directors of elections oversee all aspects of the election business. They must wear many hats while doing so and they must do so while following specific state and federal laws. They are some of the most dedicated and hardworking professionals you will find in any business. But they are never recognized for what they do and how they do it until something goes wrong. Then they are vilified by voters, candidates, and political parties. This book will enlighten you to this profession and these outstanding patriots. Welcome to the world of elections!

The Green Tree Campers of America youth organization leads camping expeditions to educate their young—mostly city-raised members—in outdoor skills, and PSL Ranch in Central Texas is one of their favorite locations. Although this ranchland is beautiful and full of interesting wildlife, it can also be quite dangerous for the unprepared. Due to “a few” lethal incidents involving campers named Sally, PSL ranch hands created this informational safety guide to avert injury, maiming, or death for those camping in this remote Texas ranchland. “Why Sally? What did Sally ever do to you?” these questions are often asked of ranch hands by visitors or during interrogations by law enforcement officers following an incident. The simple answer is, “Why not Sally?”What Killed Sally is a hilarious, politically incorrect, and somewhat twisted collection of ways Sally meets her maker while camping on a remote Central Texas ranch. Fully illustrated, What Killed Sally provides information on each incident while including interesting and sometimes useless facts on the local wildlife, fauna, and inhabitants. There’s even a bonus section with some scrumptious recipes that keep GTCA campers well-fed. Based on actual locations and the ranchers that manage the land, What Killed Sally provides all the information you’ll need to survive the Central Texas outdoors should you decide to hike or camp in this desolate wilderness. Had Sally read this safety guide, it may have saved her life.

Parents, youth pastors, teachers, counselors, psychologists, or anyone who simply cares about engaging or connecting with children and adolescents (youth) could benefit by memorizing some simple communication techniques that have worked for me during my thirty years of experience in engaging and connecting with youth. These techniques are easy ways to memorize and recall what to say to youth in a nonthreatening, nonjudgmental manner, while maintaining a caring and empathic attitude. With a clear mind, fit body, and well-spirited approach to youth, you can make a connection and, in turn, a difference in the lives of youth. Along with an explanation of each technique for the adult, which are designed for assessing, engaging, or teaching a skill to the youth, there are illustrations for the youth to see and even color. They are designed to connect you to the youth suffering from various issues like poor decision making to low self-esteem and problems such as educational or traumas.This book can be a supplemental textbook for child psychology, adolescent psychology, techniques of counseling, or developmental psychology.

The title Watchman! Watchman! What of the Night? was selected on the basis of the soon-to-unfold Great Tribulation Period (GTP). The purpose of the title is to attract an interest in the reply that the watchman gave: "I see the dawn coming, and also a Night!" It is this approaching "Night" that the watchman saw-which represents the judgments of God and the wrath of man that will unfold during the GTP. In essence the GTP will last for seven years- "the last week" in Daniel's prophecy that concludes "the 367 weeks" upon the Children of Israel. There is a strong indication that "this Night," which horrified the watchman, is likely to commence anytime between mid-2023 AD and mid-2025 AD.You can follow my deliberations in this regard in this second book; however, there is also complimentary information in Who's Paying Attention? Please refer.

The title Who's Paying Attention? focuses on my quest to personally know the God of All Creation and subsequently over the years to "get to grips" with the contents of "the Bible" the way God would want mankind to understand them. Included in the title logic is the use of specific help-aids in the form of Bibles, dictionaries, atlases, etc., and not forgetting prayer to God (the Father of Jesus of Nazareth), who was my most important help-aid, as generically speaking, the Bible is not an easy book to understand.Who's Paying Attention? contains some of my findings; which I can say with confidence that I received divine enlightenment from God; otherwise, I would have remained none the wiser-even after surfing much topical literature. In a nutshell, the answer to the title of this book requires that any passionately interested Bible student must adopt a role of a focused detective and at the same time rely on God through reverential prayer-for divine help to solve unclear or confusing sections of Scripture.It is on this basis that Who's Paying Attention? became the prelude to Watchman! Watchman! What of the Night?-my second book, which further demonstrates the essential reliance on God for divine enlightenment in the Scriptures, rather than skewing the approach towards man and available literature in order to obtain "a correct answer."Notwithstanding the above, we all still have much to learn about the Bible and the members of the Godhead-who were instrumental in making the Bible a reality.

In June of 2016, Carol's, safe predictable life was uprooted. The red Toyota BOXRRAV loaded with a couple of suitcases, a few plants, some bonsai tools, and her white boxer Spud, headed east toward the Land of Enchantment.In 2006, she began documenting the journey of finding her Nana and the subsequent cleanup of the cemetery at the State Mental Hospital in Las Vegas, New Mexico. Maybe, this crazy God-adventure was initiated then. If it was, she certainly didn't feel it. In fact, it only served to remind her of the sadness that she had kept hidden in the recesses of her mind. She loved the vast expanses of open landscape, the blue skies with white clouds unlike anywhere else she had ever been. Cactus, pinion trees, rugged mountain ranges, and glorious sunrises and sunsets had been blotted out by memories of family struggles and loss. But as Nana slowly made her way back home, so did Carol. She was being called not out of the desert but back to the desert. In probably the most unlikely twist since deliberately choosing God as her partner, he was making straight the path to return home, shepherding her soul back to New Mexico.This is a tale of second chances-of following one's heart. It is a story of paradox and contradiction, of mountain peaks and valley floors, of sadness and rejoicing. But most of all, it is the story of a soul set free.

In any family tree are names that mean something or nothing to the present-day members of that family. For the Ellison family, there are names that have been the center of tales of family lore and some that mean nothing at all to them. One member of Mark Ellison's family decides to research the roots of the family and finds that the family name has changed time and again.From Scotland to the New World, from the beautiful valley in West Virginia to the family farm in Ohio, a family history is viewed through the eyes of those who lived it. This is the story of only one branch of the family tree.Love and loss, pain and joy, the tales of the Ellison family and their antecedents are told as they lived faithful in their love of God. Although this is a work of fiction, it is based on events that could have occurred. At least in the mind of the author.

Church leaders caught in immoral behavior and the cover-up of physical, sexual, spiritual, and psychological abuse-authoritarian leaders who insist on maintaining control over the flock while wreaking havoc and causing profound emotional, spiritual, and psychological stress, including the need for psychiatric hospitalization, while some even succumb to suicide. Congregations riddled with broken relationships, divided families, separation, divorce, and children who reject God or anything having to do with church!Why is this happening? What is the cause and culprit of such upheaval in the church today? Is there a remedy?Just like King David, who sent Uriah to his death in order to cover up his own scandalous behavior, many leaders in the church today are willing to sacrifice individual members and even entire congregations in order to maintain power and control over the church and choose to cover up horrendous abuse in order to preserve their reputations.God never intended it to be this way. Yet why do many congregations find themselves in such a precarious position? The church-who is the fullness of Christ, the pillar and foundation of the truth-was never meant to cower before power-mongering leaders who take Scripture out of context in order to advance their own agendas and propagate a legalistic and performance-based culture in the church.Bob Dixon has written an insightful and compelling book that answers these and other questions, as well as provides a surprising answer for individuals and churches who suffer from these pernicious but avoidable problems that find their root in the misuse and abuse of authority in the church, what he refers to as-the Uriah syndrome.

This book follows a law enforcement career through the turbulent era of the '70s and '80s, the outreach of the '90s, and into the twenty-first century.The period also included community-oriented policing and other programs, some of which were properly applied and were a success, while others did not achieve their planned application.Policing has been looked on as a need and as the bane of society. The individual officers have been held up as hero or as villains, depending on who you talk to, or what is in the news. Once the neighborhood advocate is turned into the pariah, he is not to be trusted and avoided where possible.This book hopes to show a lighter, more human side of our officers, seen through the eyes of a fifty-year veteran who experienced change and generational application of criminal justice.It is written with the understanding that every profession has its successes and failures, and along the way, we experience good and bad in both program and personnel. In the midst of change, greatness and humor emerge to soften the time.This is a focus on the one-liners that came home at the end of every shift, the stories of everyday working officers who are human and caring for their community.

Nathan, who had previously experienced the power of the Sword of Bale, is determined to possess it, no matter the cost. At the same time, Stan and Elsa must protect Tokal and his daughter, Roval, from Tokal's own son, Naril, who believes he is the rightful heir of the Sword of Bale and its power, and who is willing to kill to attain it.
