While serving as Chaplain in the United States Marine Corps, Eugene T. Gomulka, Monseigneur, Johnstown, Pennsylvania, was required to write a "Charter of Values". Contained within the first few pages of "It Takes Guts!" are the descriptions of the words Honor, Courage & Commitment which make up the "Charter of Values". Through Gunny's eyes the remaining pages of this book reflect a life exhibiting the highest degree of moral character, professional excellence, quality, and competence in all that W. L. "Bill" Adams (Gunny) lived through. Gunny wholeheartedly believes that each person's assignment on this planet is to enhance the part of the world they were put in charge of and that we keep the world free by living and speaking the truth. Whatever else a person believes is the attitude that will lead he or she to find happiness and fulfillment in life. Each of us is hungry for a more solid sense of place, a more solid sense of self, and a more solid sense of path. Rootedness, as a concept, takes hold in a variety of forms. It can be in a book that helps us reconnect to old traditions, or create meaningful new ones, which invites us to really inhabit the piece of earth on which we live and take pride in the history of our near and distant ancestors."LIFE IS A CHALLENGE TO BE UNDERSTOOD. To understand the meaning of life, one must constantly pursue anything challenging. In the long run, this habit will lead to self-satisfaction of what and who you are. IT TAKES GUTS to believe in one's own thoughts and conclusions. Some call it intuition; some call it a gut feeling, causing one to take action. Keep Faith in Self, Follow Your Dreams, and Have Fun Trying!" -Gunny

WHERE ARE YOU FROM? Four simple words. In my travels, these four words could lead to a conversation that creates friendships and relationships for one night, seven days or even a lifetime.

I was fortunate enough to live and dive in three out of the top ten diving destinations in the world. WHERE ARE YOU FROM? Is my true story.

Jaxon's Shoes Are Missing! Can you help Jaxon find them? Join Jaxon and Jaxon's playful puppy Izzy on their adventure to piece together the mystery. Will they find Jaxon's shoes, or will Jaxon discover something even more important?

What has happened to reality?For Navy Seal Commander Jordan Wade the question resonates, as he is understandably changed by the events of the cataclysm most call The Storm. The mission outlined by the Special Projects Unit of NATO Allied Forces was to eliminate Doctor Michael Ian, head of IanTech, and contracted inventor of the machine which creates a portal allowing for travel back in time. The unauthorized use of the machine however generates a cosmic storm, killing millions on Earth, and others throughout the solar system. Jordan is successful in his mission to stop Ian and his efforts, but it comes at a personal cost which thrusts him 30 years into the future having not aged, granting him superhuman ability, and seeming immortality.Now Jordan must adjust to living a life in a future forced upon him after the events of The Storm; a world now with a populace of people called Tells who exhibit near psychic abilities while compelled to give voice to some of the thoughts they perceive along with the precognitive waves of insight that occasionally cross their minds; a world now on the cusp of perfecting artificial intelligence and the proliferation of android workers; a world now without his beloved, long passed, wife who died giving birth to their now estranged adult son; but it is also a world which wondrously provides him an unexpected new love.Many years of service on his new commission with the US Naval Space Corp, and as an epochal agent of SPU, provide a kind of stability to a career soldier like Jordan, but after nearly a century, questions from the event still haunt him, periodically interfering in his endeavor to remain having at least a semblance of a normal life; questions about the true nature of the experiment that birthed the cosmic storm which compel Jordan to explore what he really encountered during the operation to end it.Decades of probing, and experimentation by SPU, find no definitive cause for Jordan's new abilities, as his long life edges him closer toward a mental, and spiritual crisis, in the re-examination of his efforts back on that fateful mission. Jordan's discipline threatens to crumble, as new visions of the mad engineer responsible for "The Storm" bring with them sinister forces working against Jordan, but a profound encounter has him questioning everything he thought he ever knew, and a growing conviction driving him toward some unexplained purpose; a compelling dynamic to existence discovered in the wake of a tempestuously changed world… a verse previously unexplored and unsung.

Irwin Brown has taken life's trials and annoyances and with God's guidance, gained insight that he wants to share. Brown believes that we must process information into the realm of the spirit instead of "the flesh" where information is often skewed and taken personally. Reactions in "the flesh" are synonymous with conflict with each other, which is exactly what the devil wants because he is a "behind the scenes" entity. As long as we are in conflict with each other (or ourselves) he will not be sought out as a source of chaos. This is to his advantage and delight.

Penobscot reservation on Indian Island in 1853... "Madeline was born singing. She sang melodies like chants, like forecasts, like conversations with flowers and birds." Madeline's father Jeremiah, a Calvinist preacher, lived in fear of his daughter's unique voice and spirit, which could not be contained. Madeline's Penobscot mother, Hannah, wove her baskets in silence far from Jeremiah's hope for her redemption. She was enthralled and comforted by her daughter's sonorous melodies, and in teaching her the art of weaving, also taught her to honor the spirits of her vision. Tormented by Madeline's song, which he believed to be a call to the demons of the Wells, Maine marsh, Jeremiah prayed to his Calvinist God to either silence his daughter, or remove her from his home forever.

On June 7, 1610, less than one thousand Europeans lived permanently in North America above Mexico. They had outposts only around Quebec City, St. Augustine, and Santa Fe. Yet thirty years later, thirty thousand Europeans lived in the United States and Canada and controlled substantial territory along the east coast and in New Mexico.

It recounts how the European population grew slowly at first, then exponentially; how the Montagnais, Algonkin, and Huron allied with the French against the Mohawk; why Plymouth survived at all; why the Boston Bay Company landed successfully; how the Pequot lost the lower Connecticut River Valley; how the Dutch claimed the tidal Hudson River; why the failure of the Powhatan uprising and John Rolfe's tobacco led to English domination in tidewater Virginia; and how Spanish established hegemony in coastal Georgia, northern Florida, and central New Mexico.Calvin D. Trowbridge, Jr., is the author of two books on North America above Mexico from Columbus in 1492 to 1640 and a biography of Marconi, the inventor of long-distance wireless communication. Three Bloody, Diseased, Deadly Decades will benefit all who are interested in American and Canadian history.

Has a loss left you feeling lost?There are quite a few books already out in the world concerning grief, so why do I feel the need to write another? First, over the 22 years of working in a funeral home and making grief home visits to over 3,000 families, I was gifted with multitudes of rich, inspirational stories.

Secondly, people wonder, "How do I deal with this unbelievably difficult loss?" Included are coping mechanisms. These need to be expressly stated. They ease the pain. And lastly, my grandchildren's grandchildren may find themselves with loss. Devastating loss. Grief beyond belief. Perhaps they will pluck my book from the shelf, blow off the dust, and find just what they need to get back into life again.

Areas that they may have written off as impossible to improve.The tools provide make it possible for almost anyone to follow and use to grow. This is a unique perspective, as the author uses a formal art (for example painting) and compares it to an art style that would be considered unconventional to label as art (leadership).
