Simpler Times by Kathleen McDonald Pdf

Curl up in a cozy chair with a cup of coffee or tea and meet some amazing women who just happened to be in the same little neighborhood at the same time. These friends walked into the author's heart and inspired her to be a better mother, teacher, and friend, and to recognize more fully the varied gifts God's children offer. Each woman represents a unique virtue or talent making her a life giving vessel in the body of Christ. Using names that best fit the gift, the stories are narratives that will delight, touch, and invite deep personal reflection. Poetry and prayer flow from each story as natural as a breath of air. Because their stories give practical applications for daily living in Christ, questions for further contemplation or for sharing follow each section, along with Scriptures to reflect on and suggested activities or related reading. These friends are presented in word pictures that tug at the heart. They bring with them joy and sorrow, wisdom and insight. They will remind the reader of someone they know and lead to a better understanding of that person. The reader may even find a picture of, as well as, a better understanding of herself.

A Simpler Time by Douglas Souris Pdf

About the Book Douglas Souris shares his experiences growing up and living in different areas of the country, but mostly regales us with stories about his time in Parsons, West Virginia. Back when kids were outside from dawn until dusk, roamed the neighborhood with friends, and drank from the water hose. Take a trip back in time, when life was simple. About the Author Douglas Souris grew up in the 60s and carried the morals of that generation into his professional life working in both paid positions and volunteer positions in health care. While he is currently retired, he is still interested in the EMS field and the changes that are currently taking place in it. Souris enjoys being retired and having more time to spend with his wife and dog. Being involved with scouting in his youth developed his love of the outdoors, which has continued in adulthood. He has rekindled his love of photography—mostly nature photos—and taking walks in the outdoors.

Twin Adventures from a Simpler Time by Dotty Cronan Pdf

Remember when ...? Remember when a massive horse clip-clopped to your curb, pulling a huge wagon full of clear, glass, bottles of milk? Remeber when your days were spent roaming woodlands, climbing sway-in the-breeze trees, and discovering mysterious things? In the 1940's, time was not an issue except to, "get home in time for dinner," and "get back home before dark." If these recollections are stored in your memory bank, here is your chance to relive those carefree days and double your pleasure by experiencing them with a set of mischievous twins: one boy, one girl. For those who did not experience such childhood freedom in later decades, here is an opportunity to enjoy a totally new world, a wonderland where kids got to explore the world around them and learn some valuable lessons along the way. For instance, it's fun to discover mysterious green things hanging in trees, but horrifying to find them loaded with bees.

Simpler by Cass R. Sunstein Pdf

Simpler government arrived four years ago. It helped put money in your pocket. It saved hours of your time. It improved your children’s diet, lengthened your life span, and benefited businesses large and small. It did so by issuing fewer regulations, by insisting on smarter regulations, and by eliminating or improving old regulations. Cass R. Sunstein, as administrator of the most powerful White House office you’ve never heard of, oversaw it and explains how it works, why government will never be the same again (thank goodness), and what must happen in the future. Cutting-edge research in behavioral economics has influenced business and politics. Long at the forefront of that research, Sunstein, for three years President Obama’s “regulatory czar” heading the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, oversaw a far-reaching restructuring of America’s regulatory state. In this highly anticipated book, Sunstein pulls back the curtain to show what was done, why Americans are better off as a result, and what the future has in store. The evidence is all around you, and more is coming soon. Simplified mortgages and student loan applications. Scorecards for colleges and universities. Improved labeling of food and energy-efficient appliances and cars. Calories printed on chain restaurant menus. Healthier food in public schools. Backed by historic executive orders ensuring transparency and accountability, simpler government can be found in new initiatives that save money and time, improve health, and lengthen lives. Simpler: The Future of Government will transform what you think government can and should accomplish.

Time Travel in Popular Media by Matthew Jones,Joan Ormrod Pdf

In recent years numerous films, television series, comic books, graphic novels and video games have featured time travel narratives, with characters jumping backward, forward and laterally through time. No rules govern time travel in these stories. Some characters move by machine, some by magic, others by unexplained means. Sometime travelers can alter the timeline, while others are prevented from causing temporal aberrations. The fluid forms of imagined time travel have fascinated audiences and prompted debate since at least the 19th century. What is behind our fascination with time travel? What does it mean to be out of one's own era? How do different media tell these stories and what does this reveal about the media's relationship to time? This collection of new essays--the first to address time travel across a range of media--answers these questions by locating time travel narratives within their cultural, historical and philosophical contexts. Texts discussed include Doctor Who, The Terminator, The Georgian House, Save the Date, Back to the Future, Inception, Source Code and others.

Dusty Roads by Janice Carter Brown Pdf

Dusty Roads is a poetic walk in the journey that is my life. It is taken from various seasons and experiences. I believe it is God’s will that this work be published. At this time and in this season the message of God’s grace should be preached through all genres. It is my belief that my fellows, as well as those who walk outside the safety of salvation, will be bettered by the openness of this work; the testimony and honest revelation will be a witness to the lost and edification to kingdom travelers. It is my belief that this work is one of “few things,” for which Christ will reward as a faithful act, and the knowledge that I may be of service to him in the furtherance of the kingdom compels and, yes, propels me onward down this “dusty road.”

India - Happiness Is Simple by Siddharth Gurnani Pdf

A journey that started in Bombay and explored the south and north of the wondrous land of India culminated in the capital, Delhi. Along the way, there were many small and big moments that will be embedded in our minds and hearts. From the lush terrain of Kerala to the barren beauty of Ladakh, from the Catholic influence in Goa to the Buddhist Tibetan communities in Himachal, from the banana-leaf meals of the south to the butter-laden meals of the north, from the sixteen-hour train journey to the stroll on the double-humped camels, from the suit sellers to the fruit sellers, from the mosques to the temples, from one city to the other, from one state to the other, from one region to the next, we had managed to experience what many don't in a lifetime. India has its share of problems: illiteracy, overpopulation, corruption, crime, and extreme poverty. Among the chaos and cacophony, it is hard to find the peace, the beauty, the bliss, the magic, and the love that is uniquely Indian. Many are enchanted by this ancient land and are drawn to its color and craze. People like you and me explore its depths and, while doing so, discover a little bit more about life and how to deal with it a smile at a time. Each and every human being has their share of unique challenges that they face during their lifetime. Contrary to popular belief, those that appear content and thankful are not without their slice of troubles. It is attitudes and perspectives that turn even the harshest realities into minor glitches in the marathon that is life. India, its people, its customs, and its quirks have an important lesson for all. It is a lesson that one must seek and have a curiosity for. The path of existence is not without its share of treacherous cliffs and demons, but there is one truth that makes it exciting and beautiful, and that is, "happiness is simple." And India and its people are a breathing, living example of that truth!
