Why does God care? He cares because he loves us and yearns to see his creation blessed and fruitful. He told Adam and Eve to replenish the earth and gave them the means to do so. The damage that sin brought in through disobedience has caused great division among those that have dared to obey God in being married. The tools God gives us are quite available to those that desire to be successful in their relationship of husband and wife. The beginning of this is found in the best toolbox ever put together, the Word of God. If you and your spouse would open it with a true heart for knowledge and instruction, the author would surely and most assuredly guide you to the things required for your situation and prepare you to be an example to others. He gives common sense, but requires humility to grow in understanding and implementation of his wisdom. I have tried over the years to help couples from every walk of life realize the importance of acknowledging that you cannot meet the demands of governing a marriage in joy and effectively raising a family without the great author and finisher of our faith. I''ve known couples who ignored this advice and rejected the tools made available by God, and their marriages did not last, or they were most miserable and all manner of discord was brought into their institution. The result was bitterness, infidelity, and no peace, and eventually it was destroyed. I''ve also known couples that have navigated the waters of life in their institution for well over sixty years, and took the time to find the wisdom of God in using the tools he provided in raising their families and obtaining peace. You too can change the course of your marriage and recover the joys you shared when you realized your love for each other. You must set aside the destructiveness of pride and arrogance, and pursue the knowledge, understanding, and the wisdom of God in Christ Jesus. If you ask him, he will teach you and help you restore the joy and build a strong foundation for the future of the relationship, and that of your family. None of us have all the answers, but we have access to the one that does, Jesus Christ, the ultimate bridegroom.I hope that you and your spouse find the peace and joy that marriage is supposed to have. Meet the challenges with confidence in the Lord and each other, and trust the love and friendship that brought you to the altar and God''s throne; always be ready to listen and slow to speak. Honor the person that you are joined to before God.Love ye one another. Bless you both.

Fundamentals of living and nonliving universes addresses the most fundamental law that governs the known nonliving universe and its extension into the living universes. The author discusses major misconceptions regarding both realms. He introduces three major concepts for the first time: 1. Infinity wall, which argues with an ever-expanding universe theory that is currently widely accepted in scientific society.2. Law of spontaneity, which describes how all the complex intracellular events are happening smoothly.3. Quantum supervectors, which reprogram each cell according to its master regulator complex entropy. The author also recognizes the urgent need for generation of a new field of science that he has coined quantum biology and training a new generation of scientists that could handle the massive challenges ahead of us in solving diseases like cancer. The author also recognizes that deep understanding of simple events, both in living as well as nonliving universes, should become our major priority before our premature rush toward solving complex problems such as cancer and space travel.

Faye Whatley Thompson was born and raised in the Deep South during a time that racial integration and segregation issues were beginning to explode into more serious problems. The year that she graduated in 1954, the law had changed that gave black people the right to go to a school of their choice. Her family had hired "colored" maids since she was a small child so her parents could work outside the home. She and many others saw how the local colored people were put to the test, which caused them hardships and even jobs if they did not cooperate with their leaders. As time passed and after many difficult situations, integration was accepted as a way of life, which offered many of the black people the opportunity to go to universities and be hired for jobs that once were only offered to the people of the white race. Her story in the book shares some of the awkward and trying situations that both races endured during this era (or period) of history.Faye's brother Andrew "Andy" Whatley was killed during a racial demonstration in Americus, Georgia, in July 1965. Faye believes that Andy's death was not in vain. Over the years, some of the major integration problems have been resolved, but we still see signs that show us discrimination may never go away. God's word says that all people were created as equals and precious in His sight. Faye believes that the sooner our world learns this altruism, the better it will be.

When I think of what Julie and I did, it humbles me. We were right out of college, just married, working in a job I didn’t care for. She got the invitation, I took a test, and we both accepted. I was of draft age, but there would be no deferment. Can you imagine joining the Peace Corps, where you would train to teach in segregated Macon County, Alabama? You and your wife, northern whites, in 1967, would train to teach in a segregated all-black school. How would you manage?Think of going to Likoma Island on Lake Malawi in Central Africa. You would live for two years on a two-by-five-mile island with no gun, no civil authority, no police. The island was home to crocodiles, spitting cobras, green mambas, puff adders, and other deadly vipers and often fatal illnesses, but no resident physician, just five thousand Africans and you. Think about teaching school to eighty adolescent African kids, forty in a classroom, none of whom had any notion of Western culture. What if your home were attacked by a raging African man whose family had been killed by white soldiers? What would you do?Ever thought about what it is like to be a teacher in Western New York? How would you deal with 125 adolescents daily? Imagine preparing lessons for five classes each day, grading papers, teaching, and then driving thirty miles to graduate school and back before a late dinner each night.Suppose you had summers off and you and your wife learned to sail, and on your twenty-fifth anniversary, you sailed the six hundred miles offshore to the island of Bermuda! Ever been in a full gale on a little boat at sea?We were island people, finding our way!

With stories, original poetry, and vivid prose this book views the Great Depression through childhood memories. The work promises enjoyment for survivors, descendants, and heirs of that lodestar of the American experience. In a direct, accessible, colorful style it recalls the pain and joy, bitter failures and euphoric successes, life shaping loves and dark dreads, the painful goodbyes to brothers off to war and the euphoria of their homecoming. It highlights a childhood shared with a sister, and a lifetime of shared commitments. The concluding Quo Vadis sketches the story's outcome and a eulogy for sister Wanda. The appendix offers images of their storied world. The book features farmwomen playing key roles. The dedication honors three -- immigrant Grandma Roetzel, widowed mother of four under ten, her daughter, author's Aunt Minnie, thoughtful and loving, and author's mother whose third grade education paired with an iron will shaped this story. It recognizes how her avid study of a dog-eared Bible sparked a resistance to a fundamentalist religion that treated human woes as divine punishment, and notes her prescience in pushing higher education as an escape from poverty. The work recalls the sights, sounds, odors, tastes, sweat, tears, grandeur and misery of Great Depression farm life. It refuses to romanticize that experience, but recounts how the intelligence, character, imagination, grit and love of immigrant families led to fulfilling possibilities. I'm hard put to convey just how moving a piece this is. It evokes so much in such a straight on way, but what really stands out most is the voicing--It hooked me from word one. It made the setting come alive with real world descriptions, references and emotions. The story line is so compelling because of this quality. The narrator is all but alive. I wonder what the author requires of himself as a writer to make this work so powerfully accessible. It beautifully evokes a world we've all but lost, and the people too. James Brewer Stewart: James Wallace Professor of History, Emeritus. In this remarkable and generous-spirited memoir, Calvin Roetzel vividly evokes the loving family and community that shaped his boyhood in depression-era Arkansas. With little in the way of material goods, the love, kindness, and integrity that nurtured him were beyond price. These stories are Dr. Roetzel's tribute to his family, but they are also a reminder of what truly makes all our lives meaningful. They are, in his words, "guardians of a past, teachers of the present, and architects of an open future." A tonic of hope in these troubled times. Professor of History: Mary Wingerd, Emerita.

A creative mix of fiction and fact, Short Tales of the Old Wild West brings to life the good, the bad, the courageous, and the cowardly. “Up from the cold gray depths of the Canyon River they came, men wearing eerie fish-mask heads. Night stretched a blue canopy of stars above the Navajo tepees as strange figures glided like shadows among the dwellings of these nomad people. The tepee flaps lifted as the fish-headed men abducted three Navajo virgin girls. Like shadows, the fish-men came, and like shadows, they left, carrying away the females on their shoulders as they fled back beneath the cold, murky waters that was their home. For an instant, the Navajo warriors were dazed, and then they gave chase after the abductors.” - Excerpt from “The River Water Ghosts”
