The Truth has the unmatched power to see through and defeat every lie, shaded truth, and misdirection of humanity. In life, truth stands on its own when all of the facts have been presented because, ultimately, the truth always traces its origin to the Source of all truth: the eternal, omniscient, and holy triune God described in the Bible. The second person of the Trinity, Jesus Christ, is indeed The Way, the Life, and THE Truth, according to John 14:6. Everything in God's Word confirms that claim, and nothing contradicts it.If this absolutely unique Divine Person -- the God-man -- embodies the truth to the extent that He can rightly be called THE Truth, we have before our eyes the most-reliable source of truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.As eternal, holy God Himself (John 1:1-3, Colossians 1:15-17, Hebrews 1:1-2), and because God can NOT lie (Titus 1:2), Jesus Christ is the most-faithful witness to the truth that there ever could be. Why should we rely on the ignorance, incomplete knowledge (at best), and lies of sinful, finite creatures? Only those men who spoke and recorded the Holy-Spirit-inspired words of the books of the Bible were given God's stamp of approval and seal of certification that their words matched and proceeded from God.So in addition to the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, we can add to the number of truly faithful witnesses those select few who were genuinely inspired by the Holy Spirit to be the "stenographers" of The Scriptures. But that's where we must draw the line, because diligent truth-seekers have nothing to gain by going beyond that boundary.The reality is that anyone can make predictions about the future and not one person in our earthly realm actually knows what will happen or when. That's the dividing line between knowing the future (and the past as well) and engaging in guesswork about it. The truth descends to us from God's eternal throne, and by His grace, we finite human beings can come upon even the most astonishing facts of creation (as He wills).On the other side of the divide, we humans of limited understanding and imagination will soon hit our largely self-imposed ceiling; pride keeps us from going to God for the knowledge that can break through the barriers. For far too many, if something must come from God, we don't want it. Man by nature rejects God's provision, whether that pertains to things needed to live in safety and prosperity on earth, or far worse, the ultimate provision of The Way to eternal Life in the person and work of The Savior, Jesus Christ.To the Christ-rejecter, the worst offense of all is a life of holiness. The Christ-follower, then, is the natural enemy of the unbeliever, and the only one within reach of their hatred. If this doesn't fully explain their hatred toward Christians (because of Jesus, who lived the ONLY perfectly holy life), it can certainly cover the main ground. However, to reciprocate with hate is not God's way, so let's get back to the duties of the Christian: to acknowledge, trust in, and follow Jesus Christ, The Way to the Father in Heaven.The title of this book clearly proclaims a specific Person as the Faithful and True Witness: Jesus Christ, the God-man.That descriptive phrase is taken from Revelation 3:14, but there is actually another word that precedes it: "These things says The AMEN, the Faithful and True Witness." On page 9 of this work can be found a short treatment of the connection between the Bible's use of "Amen" in the Old Testament and "Faithful" in the New Testament. The conclusion is intuitive and firm: Both terms in their essence indicate "Yes, yes, it is (or will be) so" and "Absolutely, it's a done deal!" in the expressions of two different times.If God says what will happen and when, the occurrence will unfailingly verify the prophecy! Amen!

To be sure, many men have accomplished much more in a two-year time span than this author, but probably not many so diverse as to what is recorded here. This memoir covers Dan's adventures in 1976 through 1978 while in his mid 40s. The title stems from his multiple sailboat races, including the exciting 1976 Transpacific yacht race to Hawaii, and his hot busy sandy years in Saudi Arabia working for IBM Corporation. He served as an expat at the giant ARAMCO oil company helping to manage their complex data processing needs. The book includes some Middle Eastern history, information about Islam and the Qur'an, plus a few trips to surrounding countries such as Kashmir, India, central Iran, France, and Northern Europe. A few love affairs are mentioned without too many details.

Richard Bryan of Mt. Lebanon, Louisiana was the consummate idealist. He had a forward-looking outlook. Slavery was an anachronism. In 1856, five years before the war, he offered emancipation to all 97 on his plantation, hired a teacher, deeded land, shared profits, and encouraged entrepreneurs. The Civil War devastated the South, but the war never reached his home. When Union occupiers arrived in Mt. Lebanon a decade later, they were astounded to find Bryan's experiment fully implemented. Former slaves could not only "read, write, and cipher," they were landowners engaged in a trade, and some were even bilingual.Bryan's objective was to facilitate the "conveyance" of his peaceful society from pre-war to post-war America. He saw no reason why he could not achieve this goal. Union occupiers envisioned a plethora of beneficial propaganda, but Bryan declined to be used by aggressive new politicians who demanded his cooperation to further their agenda.After the Confederate surrender, Richard Bryan, his family, their hired hands, the people, and a wounded Yankee deserter his young sons had stumbled upon in the woods and brought home with them, found themselves at the mercy of a corrupt Governor, political hacks, petty tyrants, and remorseless convicts in military uniform. Not just rustlers but occupying troops would frequently raid farms. Often, they'd steal entire harvests. If you resisted the men in uniform, they might hang you and burn your place down out of spite.There was no legal recourse against the government. Food became scarce, hard money even more so. "Injun Grass" as it was known to those who smoked it, grew wild on their land. It was good quality, so they'd periodically harvest it and offer little poke bags of cannabis sativa for sale to visitors who were passing through on the stagecoach. Occasionally they'd even sell some to soldiers. Every penny counted. They tightened their belts, quietly bartered for weapons, secretly manufactured ammunition, and killed in self-defense when they were faced with no other choice.Their joint goal was survival. Some of them would make it.What transpired across the South might today be equated to legal, as well as militarized police brutality by occupying forces. The experience of all, regardless of color, who lived through this traumatic and tumultuous time in history, burned itself deeply into America's collective psyche.

My wife and I have been married for fifty-three years. We have two grown children and six grandchildren, all girls. I recently retired from Hospital and First Responder Chaplaincy with Fire and Police. This volume is about my experiences as a crisis chaplain.Over the years, I have written simple poetry for family and friends. While preaching in ten countries, I have sent email logs of the day's events. During the COVID-19 crisis, I was encouraged to write a page or two on subjects unrelated to COVID-19 and email it to select hospital staff.Combining these elements, we present Casting Shadows at Midnight: Poetry, Musings, and Writings of a Crisis Chaplain.Many of the poems are written to my Bride of fifty-three years. Some were written while riding with the police and fire departments, and others were generic.In the Musing section, we share thoughts and impressions from multiple crisis scenarios. A sampling of these Musings includes impressions from overseas travels teaching Chaplaincy.Writings are items that came out of the COVID-19 crisis.The reader will find a little humor, light drama, and theology, along with personal notes and tidbits that mean something to me. I must admit that I'm neither a skilled comedian nor detailed enough to produce a classic mystery novel. I'm also not an expert theologian who can write a heavy volume to settle the inerrancy question that has plagued people for years.However, I am knowledgeable enough to write about topics that interest many readers. Some of the writing is deeply emotional and personal. The poetry will not win many awards but will be heartfelt.Born in Collin County, Texas, Rickey grew up in a tiny town of 254 residents.
