After a long winter encampment, Orenda, Nazshoni, Kanuna and Onsi cross the Mississippi river and venture west. Their destination is far and Orenda intends to move the small group of warriors with haste in the hope of reaching an embattled tribe far to the west of the great river.
The plan begins to unravel when they come across a ghost village and then dire forebodings from an old Shaman. There is a shape-shifter in the area and she has been causing much destruction and despair. Orenda attempts to go around the troubled area as he feels tomahawks and arrows are no match against magic. But the Deer Woman is already aware of the warrior's presence in her territory.
If you enjoyed The Bitter Harvest, you'll not want to miss the continuing adventures of Orenda and his small group of heroes.
For each of us, life is often a
MYSTERY.
We try and make sense of where we
come from, we grapple with the problem of why there is so much suffering in the
world, why is it that unscrupulous people can continue to exploit innocent,
well-meaning people – the list of questions is endless.
Then there are questions that
deal with realities beyond our individual experiences which we would dearly
love to get more insight on - questions like:
·
What is the ultimate purpose of my life
·
How do I cope with incurable disease like
cancer, congenital muscular dystrophy and others
·
How can I find peace of mind
·
Is there life after death, and if there is, what
form does it take
·
Why is it so difficult to forgive people who
have caused me serious harm
There are, of course many
resources that deal with the questions listed above.
In Living by the BOOK
we use one resource – the Christian Bible (the BOOK) to shed some
light on some of these deep questions, and how the knowledge gained affects our
daily life.
The topics covered include:
Our complex make-up |
Oppression and intimidation |
Health and suffering |
Relationships |
Attitudes |
The presence of God |
The family |
Enemies – problem of evil |
Managing my habits |
Our society |
Vision |
Servant leadership |
Our history |
Money |
Being a team player |
Our mission |
Negotiation |
You are never too old to learn |
Three of us – Wolfgang
Bernhardt, Sarie Snow and Derek Griffin – have worked on this challenging
topic for two years in order to give you, the reader, ideas on what light the
BOOK sheds to help us understand this mystery we call “LIFE”, and how to live
it so that, when we are done, we can leave with no regrets.
Randy's sister wants a WHAT?!? And his Mom isn't flat-out saying no?!
My Sister Wants an Elephant is the true story of two siblings who team up together to convince their mother to let them own a couple of wild animals as pets, and a mother who just might be persuaded.
Full of humor and fun, this book is a good lesson in not giving up on your dreams, no matter how truly wild they may be!
I sat so merry in my abode
Loving hands around me
I dreamt of such glorious days
One day i would see
I remember the day I left
My room
I closed the door behind me
One quick look again
Then walked away
The room which would always remind me
The glorious days I had dreamt
I did merrily spent
How little did I then know
Life turns on a dime
My room is now not as it was
When I closed the door
Behind me
My room now is a prison
But not how one would invision
It is one of sorrow and grief
Sadness burns into the bare walls
I catch my breath
And weep
Why did thou'st doth betray?
The room which once embraced me
I ask with riddled heart
Jagged and torn
Which wicked riddles have I thus sought?
I sit still
I am now my room
No dreams as once before
I age before my open door
In my room long ago
I sat merrily in my loving abode
Loving hands did hold me
All gone
My room and myself
Now one
Two thrust to be together
Forever
Alone
