Removing the Sting is a blend of autobiography, inspiration and encouragement. Written to bring comfort to those facing health or emotional challenges, the book contains a mosaic of stories, poetry, prayers and humour. The story begins by describing a young girl's life in England following World War II. In 1950, when Pauline is five years old, her mother dies following surgery to remove a brain tumor. Two years after this event, Pauline is separated from her older brother and sister, when her father sends her to live with an aunt in London. The emotional fallout from these two events causes a great deal of hurt and anger to build in this young girl's heart, preventing her from truly appreciating the kindness of the people trying to help her. All through the years growing up, marriage to her childhood sweetheart and the exciting prospects of a new life in Canada - she keeps the pain within. Adversity seems to attach itself to Pauline's life until April 1984 when her sister's Bible study group in England start to pray for her. Within a few short weeks, the power of prayer from half-way around the world has a dramatic effect on Pauline's life and many miraculous events occur. A time of emotional healing takes place as Pauline learns to trust in a loving God. Many happy successful years follow. As Pauline grows in faith, she asks God a question, "e;What is your plan for my life Lord?"e; God's answer to her prayer seems to be wait - so she waits. She becomes quite adept at juggling church, home and work and the future looks rosy indeed. Following her fiftieth birthday, however, Pauline notices a gradual reduction in muscle strength, slight loss of stamina and experiences problems with balance. As the months and years pass, these gradual symptoms increase to the point where she definitely knows something is wrong. Finally in June 1998, Pauline accepts an early retirement package from her employer and goes home to rest. A year later, thanks to her sister-in-law's keen observations, Pauline is diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. In the months following her diagnosis, Pauline joins a support group for writers and starts to jot down ideas for keeping a positive attitude. This therapeutic exercise is undertaken not just for herself, but with the idea in mind that somehow she may be able to help other people facing similar situations. Pauline discovers many actual blessings from having Parkinson's disease and writes about them. She develops a deeper relationship with God and begins trusting Him and thanking Him for every precious day. As family and friends comfort her with their love and support, Pauline again asks God for direction - gently reminding Him that she can no longer afford the luxury of waiting. His answer comes loud and clear...WRITE!Renewed in spirit and blessed with a strong faith, Pauline begins reaching out to others with words of inspiration and encouragement. Starting with a new poem, All Our Days Belong to the Lord, Pauline keeps on writing until the ideas form to share her life story and Removing the Sting is born. ----------------------------------Reviews"e;REMOVING THE STING is a blend of autobiography, inspiration and encouragement.

"e;Bodie, the very sound of that name conjures up images of "e;The Bad Man From Bodie"e;, a rough and tumble life, and the harsh climate of a gold mine boomtown of the early West. But to a young park ranger and his wife, fresh out of college, and with a child on the way, it was an intimidating beginning to a 32-year career with California Department of Parks and Recreation. A PATHWAY THROUGH PARKS follows the career of Ranger Carl S. Chavez and his family as they travel the length and breadth of California from the ghost town of Bodie State Historic Park to the mountains and beaches of Southern California. Each new assignment brings new adventures and challenges as Ranger Chavez promotes up the career ladder to positions on the Central Coast of California, the Sierra Nevada and finally to the redwoods of Northern California at Humboldt Redwoods State Park. Career decisions must be made which result in advancement, "e;out of the field"e;, and into the Management ranks of Regional and Division Headquarters. Yet even these changes do not alter the opportunity for stories and tales of humor and tragedy, joy and sorrow, adventure and routine, and the success and failure that many readers will recognize in their own lives. Anyone who has retired from the workforce, regardless of occupation, will have memories like those found in A PATHWAY THROUGH PARKS. The author's experiences will give all those who love the Great Outdoors and enjoy our parks and forests a rare, inside glimpse, not only of the inner workings of park operations, but also, of family life living in parks.

With uncommon insight, The Sage's Way uses the tradition of Oriental wisdom to explore such common subjects as acceptance, patience, power, self, grace, grief and laughter. Think of its Prologue and 64 Chapters as the Eastern philosophical equivalent of Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet. Each chapter is composed of a teaching and a commentary. The teachings- from a mysterious sage of Mount Shan- are concise and dense, somewhat like the enigmatic pronouncements that might come from a reclusive mystic. The commentaries- offered by Old Shu, a remarkable hunchback living a life of contented simplicity- are wonderfully sensible and wise, somewhat like our own deepest awareness when we are introspective, honest, trusting and intuitive. The Sage's Way leads readers toward an awareness that will inspire inner strength and quiet serenity. This is the best of Oriental wisdom, the essence of both Taoism and Zen presented with a grounded clarity that is both deeply challenging and elegantly simple. As such, this book is likely to become a lifetime companion, offering day-to-day guidance while providing poignant readings for special occasions. Author of internationally sold books The Tao of Relationships, The Tao of Being, The Tao of Sailing, Zen Brushpoems, The Tao of Zen, The New Lao Tzu, Ray Grigg is eminently qualified to offer this work to those who are seeking a balanced and harmonious way through the sometimes bewildering challenges of ordinary life.

About the Book This book does not take a neutral stand on the issue of mass unemployment. It is an effort to expose capitalism's most outrageous feature - its compulsive need to use unemployment and the fear of unemployment to ensure the docility and subservience of its workers. Under the capitalist system, the stick of the fear of unemployment is necessary to keep workers' noses to the grindstone and make them perform to the satisfaction of their employers. The stick is needed because much work is boring, the carrot paid is less than a living wage, provides workers very little or no control over the work process, and stifles creativity - in short because the total carrot offered to numerous workers is so woefully inadequate. Under a different system, one in which working people participated fully in the decisions affecting what, how and for what purpose goods and services were produced; if we had a system based on economic democracy, there would be no need to use the stick of the fear of unemployment. The creativity of most of the millions of working people, now mostly dormant, would be awakened and the volume and quality of improvements and inventions especially in housing, energy, transit systems and health care would be so great as to tower high above and completely overshadow the number and purpose of the innovations created under the present system. The issue of unemployment is shrouded in half-truths and outright lies. As a result, there is almost total ignorance about the real causes of unemployment and worse still, about its very serious consequences. Many claim that there are enough jobs but that the unemployed are lazy and would rather be on welfare. While this may be true of a very small fraction of the unemployed, it is not true of the overwhelming majority. There have been numerous instances in which whenever advertisements calling for applicants for relatively well-paid jobs or for jobs that paid better than the minimum wage, the number of applicants that applied for those jobs were ten or more times greater than the number of jobs that were advertised. In September 26th of 1984, to mention just one instance, the Associated Press News Agency reported that "e;50,000 people lined up for 350 jobs."e; The report went on to say that "e;the applicants, some of whom waited in line for two days, hope to land a longshoreman's job paying $15.45 an hour or a marine clerk's job earning $17.45 an hour... However the fact that only 350 jobs are currently available didn't dismay the crowd, which queued up in a line in the San Pedro district [of Los Angeles] that stretched for 13 mile..."e;Clearly, the majority would rather have gainful employment at a living wage and live a life of dignity and integrity. Furthermore apart from the simple need to earn a living, productive employment is an indispensable part of the psychological makeup of human beings. Simply put, people want to feel useful. Prolonged joblessness is a serious threat to a person's self-esteem and destroying that self-esteem has appalling consequences. The ugly truth is that the system under which we live will not or cannot provide jobs for those who need them. The business class is simply not interested in full employment because mass unemployment provides them with many benefits. Among those benefits: a large pool of unemployed workers drives down the wages employers have to pay.

The book The Antichrist Revealed in Revelation 12 has been written as a teaching syllabus to inform mankind about a certain spirit being enemy. This spirit being enemy has caused catastrophic events upon the earth and mankind for eons. The history of this spirit being enemy is written in the book called the Bible. Most people think of the Bible as a fairy tale, but it is the accurate account of all spirit beings in the universe. God, the angels, and man are all spirit beings. God the Creator, created the angels and man in His spirit image. In the beginning, the God of heaven created the heaven and the earth, with all their spirit beings. Lucifer is a created being who lived in heaven as an archangel. Scripture passages of the bible reveal that the angel Lucifer, a servant of the God of heaven, was assigned as a covering for the spirit beings of mankind upon the earth. During the course of his duty upon the earth, Lucifer desired a lifestyle outside the realm of the kingdom of God for himself and fulfilled it by way of trafficking. Trafficking became the sin of Lucifer's downfall from the status of an angel created perfectly in his ways by God, to an angel full of iniquity, rebellion, and violence, which lead to his outcast from heaven to the earth. Lucifer uses his state of iniquity, rebellion and violence to wreak havoc upon mankind with the intent to annihilate the man from the face of the earth by any means possible. The God of heaven has revealed Lucifer to be the great dragon, the serpent called the Devil, and Satan. Satan means adversary, or enemy. Lucifer made himself an enemy to his Creator, the God of heaven. During the short time that the God of heaven has given the man to redeem himself through His Christ, Lucifer aka Satan will take this opportunity to deceive the whole world. Man must redeem himself from Lucifer, because Lucifer usurped control over the earth and Adam's posterity in the garden of Eden to cause his iniquity, rebellion and violence to prosper through the man. The creation of man began in Iraq, in the garden of Eden (Genesis 2:7-14). Lucifer rules the earth and man from the invisible spirit realm and has set up his spiritual headquarters over the Media-Persian nations (Isaiah 14:13-14, Psalm 48:2). Lucifer aka Satan, the destroyer in the kingdom of God, is the Savior of mankind, and the man of God. Lucifer will bring upon the earth his fourth catastrophe, the tribulation war of the seals, that will be certainly located in the Media-Persian nations. Lucifer will be fighting against the eviction from the earth realm and using men as arsenals of warfare for their own destruction. The stage for the tribulation war is being set imminently. This war will bring destruction and desolation to all nations upon the earth. The events of this catastrophe have been outlined from beginning to end in the scriptures. Lucifer has been sentenced in the past as the destroyer of the earth and mankind by the God of heaven for his iniquities, rebellions and violence. The book "e;The Antichrist Revealed in Revelation 12"e; puts this generation of the world in the know about their foretold present and future upon the earth. The prophecies of God, or foretold present and future upon the earth. The prophecies of God, or foretold messages of God were sent to mankind through the prophets, to reveal the endtime for all nations.

In 1905, the St. Joseph Board of Education established a high school in South St. Joseph. For many years this area was known as "Skeeterville" because parts of the South Side were marshy since the area was near the river bottoms. Although requests had been made for a high school to be established there, school authorities felt that the people would not send their children to high school. Until Benton was established, there were no ties to bind the people of the different districts. When Benton was organized it was observed that Benton High School ". . . had the effect of bringing the families of different parts [of the South Side] into a closer relationship. The children became acquainted through their classes at school and their parents began to visit back and forth . . . . The South Side present[ed] a solid front in nearly every project of public nature which [came] up, and [was] getting its share of improvements, too. Fortified with this support, the first class of Benton High School set forth determined to succeed-the acorn from which the might oak has grown

God has spoken to my heart and so inclined me to open the doors of my life and share my struggles and transformations as I have journeyed to develop A Heart for Jesus I am calling out to all who hunger to understand who they are in Christ and how we transform our lives as Christians. To all who are bound by the chains of repetitive sinful behavior even though you are saved. To all who are filled with guilt, shame and condemnation for their seeming inability to balance their lives. Finally, to all who are bound by the chains of addiction, and to all who are spiritually lost or unaware and hunger to find A Heart for Jesus. I want you to know that God's grace knows no boundaries! Walk with me as we seek peace and balance in our lives! Let my experience be your pain, let me spur you on to you calling. Together we will seek God while he can be found we will call upon him while he is near. My journey details how I came to know Christ, how we came to understand who we are in Christ and the process by which sanctification transforms us, from sinners to winners in Christ. We will discuss the importance of witnessing, our struggle to understand where God is in this chaotic world, and our call to balance our lives between who we say we are in Christ and how we actually live out each day. I intend to uncover for those who hunger spiritually, a true picture of our spiritual identity, how we go into training through Godly disciplines, who will tempt us, and five keys to victory in Christ. We will discuss spiritual gifts in detail; where they came from, why God gave them to us, and how we go about using them to create a Heart for Jesus. Through self examination and small group discussion we will understand why we still even though we are saved, how to stop sinning, how to pinpoint our character defects that allow Satan into our thought life and how we do battle with our sinful nature. Finally, we will determine what we value and how we exercise those values as we journey to develop a A Heart for Jesus.
