This book is a compilation of much of what I and others see as negative trends in the country, primarily the degradation of liberty and the confusion of privileges for freedom. The divisions that are the biggest hindrances to progress are examined at length, fresh new theories and proofs of what most Americans would scoff at if not backed by proof provided by the author. It is a call to educate the citizen and prompt action from those no longer satisfied to sit on the sidelines, true patriots actively involved in the process of freedom and the active criticism of the nation.When the reader is finished with this book, they will no longer have the excuse of ignorance on many subjects that threaten the stability of the nation and the freedom of her people.

My name is Barby J. Brown, and I wrote this book because of some wild and crazy dreams that I have been having over a long period of time. That's why I named this book Dreams: They All Have Some Meaning.I want to find out what they all mean to me and understand why I am having them. The first started when I was a little girl living on a plantation farm in the south of Arkansas. I want you, the readers, to enjoy the life of chills and thrills that people deal with in their everyday lives. The dreams transformed my life as I went through many trials and tribulations.The dreams were of all kinds of experiences that show how people experience their lives and even show you how God can put things on your mind that you won't believe could or would be true.All through my life, my dreams helped me in how I would talk to and treat people. Some of them explained it through a step-by-step illustration. Heaven and hell are for real, and some people do not believe in one or the other, but they are for real. Even the fire is hotter than anything that you have ever felt before in your life.The bright lights are those that surround people and are known to surprise people too.I find these kinds of dreams helpful to solve old and new problems that have occurred.

President Bush declared the war in Iraq "e;Mission Accomplished"e; in 2005, but Al-Qaeda had other plans. Money, supplies, and soldiers during the 2006 insurgent uprising were easily funneled from Syria along the dangerous highways of Iraq's Al Anbar Province straight into Baghdad, and the sense of victory quickly flipped for the worse during what was tabbed "e;Operation Iraqi Freedom."e; The insurgency violently rocked the world with gruesome and horrific tactics that included well-trained snipers and dastardly roadside bombers who could carefully place explosives in the early morning hours, some charges powerful enough to easily flip a massive seventy-two-ton American Abrams tank. To further install fear, enemy follow on attacks effortlessly crushed responding coalition forces arriving to the horrendous scenes. The situation in Iraq turned dreadful.American solders returned home with severed limbs, scarred beyond belief, or honorably flown to Dover Air Force Base in flag-draped caskets. These were horrible visions that simply traumatized the American public and invoked rage within the ranks. A change of plans was desperately needed and needed quickly. Senior American leadership in Iraq was failing, and a new strategy was desperately needed, specifically in Iraq's dreaded Triangle of Death.The White House and Pentagon were shocked and angered with the tragic and declining progress in Iraq. The president and his top brass agreed with a new challenging plan. This plan would be new strategy involving five additional American combat brigades shuffled throughout Iraq to beef up the fight and return victory that was "e;slipping sideways"e; under the command of a skeptical theater commander, an incontrollable four-star general with a strange and confusing plan for victory. Additional Iraqi Police and Iraqi Army were needed as well to fight shoulder to shoulder with Americans, and this was needed quickly without any delay. Iraqi Police and Army recruiting was paramount for this new plan. Supplies were needed, funding for the Iraqi workforce was to be guaranteed, and new Iraqi Police stations with roadside checkpoints were demanded to stop the flow of evil that was freely trucked into Baghdad from Iraq's neighboring country of Syria.The surge became a reality at the tail end of 2006, and American combat units were purged into Baghdad, Ramadi, and beyond in record time. Americans lived, worked, and fought with the Iraqi Police and Iraqi Army. Police stations popped up everywhere. Roadside checkpoints supported police stations and chocked any freedom of movement for the fierce enemy that had once freely killed and mutilated hundreds of Americans and Iraqis over the past fifteen months, and the battle of the White Apartments located in southwest Ramadi was the focal point for victory in Anbar and a massive triumph for the First Armored Division's "e;Anbar Awakening"e; that was paired with a company of rugged Indiana Infantry Guardsmen who led the fight with Ramadi's Iraqi Police on that chilly January night.This is a story of the Iraq War, a story of the Iraqi surge and the Cyclone Soldiers that lead it.

-The purpose of this book is to bring focus on America's current justice system. It is all too common that Americans cry out for justice. However, many don't understand how Black and Brown people are underserved by this system. Through life experiences--living, observing, and working within the system--I have determined that the current criminal justice system is flawed in providing equal justice to Black and Brown people.I hope that after Americans read this book, they will begin to see America for what it really is. The American way is not based on liberty and justice for all. The harsh reality is that it is based on liberty and justice for a few. America has got to come to terms with itself. America has to admit that racism is a reality and is built in every web of our society.How can so many White Americans insist that there is not institutional racism but recognize that White privilege exists? America has got to wake up and stop lying to itself. We are going to have to be inclusive to continue down a path of greatness. Please don't let racism destroy the great nation that America has become. We have an opportunity today to defy history. All great nations of the past, at some point, had come to an end. The primary reason is an unwillingness to change.Going forward, we are going to have to start looking at America as one. We have to turn these words into reality: "e;one nation under God indivisible."e; The key to our success and survival going forward will only be achieved as one. The time is now! We must change our mindset! If not, racism will be our demise!
Many are called, but few are chosen. This book is for the ones that have been fought against since the day they were born. Our heavenly Father has chosen us; we did not choose Him. He chose us first to do a great work, and people hate that it was not them.We are all called to do something in life, so there is no need to be jealous of someone else's purpose. Some just happen to be so distracted by yours that they can't concentrate on theirs. That's because they don't want you to arrive to where God wants you to be and they do not want you to outdo them.Yes, the devil will send people to see what you are up to; but keep your mouth shut, and keep a tight ring on it. The less you say to people, the better. Just let them see the finished work, when it's finished, not before its time.And even if you mess up, God still can restore you--your mess, He can turn into a message. Don't worry about family and friends, and keep striving to do your best. No matter who says you can't, who are people to say that you can't? They are not God, so please remember that.Let them curse, but You bless; When they arise, let them be ashamed, But let Your servant rejoice. (Ps. 109:28 NKJV)Our enemies can curse us; but we are blessed because we are the servants of Abba Father, who continues to move for us.

In the course of the apostles writing the Synoptic Gospels, many questions were raised but not answered. This literary work in no means infringes on the writing of the apostles and their effort to detail the life of Christ Jesus.What I have tried to do is answer some age-old questions that have gone unanswered since the scriptures were put together at the Council of Trent. I tried to write answering the questions in an informative way and also fun to read.I did take some liberties with locations and timelines. In doing so, I tried to set the stage in many instances for the parables that Christ used in his teachings; the characters that Christ called to his ministry; the bond between him and John the Baptist and his friends Mary, Martha, and Lazarus; and how Judas Iscariot targeted Christ''s ministry to become a hanger-on.Some events and timelines are taken out of the Infancy Gospel attributed to Apostle Thomas.Other events, such as why John the Baptist; his mother, Elizabeth; and his father, Zechariah, escaped the decree of Herod the Great to slaughter all the infants two years of age or younger in and around Bethlehem and Judea.Both Jesus and John the Baptist were within six months of age.This question was not answered in the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.In Cana, at the wedding, did Jesus tell his mother that his "time had not come" and then turn and change the water to wine?In no way is this work authenticated by Bible scholars but is used strictly as a reference point in my narrative of Christ''s early life that is not covered in the Scriptures.I thank you and ask you to read this work with an open mind and heart and enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed writing and trying in my own humble way to answer some questions that have plagued me since I started reading the Bible.
