El Diácono Francisco Enderle, ex Director Ejecutivo del Diaconado Permanente de la Arquidiócesis de Washington y el ex Director de Formación del Clero de la Diócesis de Sacramento comenzó en el año 2000 a escribir homilías en español para publicación en Internet.

This book is the second in the Homilias/Homilies Domingo/Sunday Ciclo/Cycle B series. It contains Spanish homilies with English translations. It is published specifically for those who preach who prefer to read the homilies in book format rather than on the Internet. The difference between this bilingual book and others is that these homilies were originally written in Spanish and translated into English, not vice-versa, as in other books. We hope that these books will be useful to native Spanish speakers who preach as well as to native English speakers who find they must preach in Spanish.

INTO LEGEND (TM) is a high fantasy tabletop role-playing game. It is purposely designed on the style of old world legends and fairy tales and classic fantasy fiction such as Lord of the Rings, The Shannarah Series, Earthsea, Narnia, and so on. It also retains much that originally made role-playing games so much fun, with magic-using trades distinct from other fantasy tropes such as the thief, the fighter, the ranger, the assassin, etc. It's a d100-based, modifier-centric system with a unique character-build path that calls for a minimum of randomization and maximum customization, allowing for the most control of the player in creating the avatar that best suits them.The Core Rulebook is the central resource for how to conduct a game session, including detailed and complete rules for making task rolls, movement, combat, various different forms of damage, and magic encompassing upwards of 500 spells, each with free-form and variable strength and effects based on the spell-slingers decisions.This is the companion to the Into Legend (TM) Core Rulebook, the Into Legend(TM) Worldbook: Realms of Ia, and the Into Legend(TM) Game Master's Reference.

Some of us grew up in single parent households or were raised by other family members who took on the parenting role. And still, others, may have raised themselves and lived each day in survival mode. I actually went through all three circumstances.Why are you laying there hugging on your momma?What are you, a lesbian?No, I wasn't a lesbian, I was ten years old and just wanted to find comfort in my mother's arms.

Though the Darkness tells of one doctor's journey to serve others through missions, only to be brought to the end of herself - and there, to meet God anew.
