1000 tulosta hakusanalla Perry J. Kaufman
In 2013, M. J. Perry launched a personal challenge to write a piece of fiction per day for a calendar year. This volume is the result. Over the course of those twelve months short stories suitable for a wide age-range flowed from his pen, as did many examples of flash fiction; between them these works encompassed humour, tragedy and many explorations of the follies and foibles of human nature.

When Bullies Act Out, It's Time for Buddies and Baseball A cloud hangs over Jack as he begins fifth grade. Two boys from his class, Steve and Cliff, who began bullying him last spring, harass him again as soon as school starts. They take brownies and cookies from his lunch and call him "Mustard" because they think he's a coward. When Jack walks a different route to school to avoid them, they find him anyway. When he doesn't take a lunch but brings lunch money, they steal his money. When he rides his bike to school, they let the air out of the tires. Jack is miserable but he's ashamed to ask for help and doesn't want to tell anyone about his problem. Lizabeth and C.J are Jack's best friends. C.J. has his own problems. He gets help in Chapter I reading, and Steve makes fun of him, calling him "Retardo." Lizabeth is spunky and won't put up with dirty tricks from Steve and Cliff, but they try to get even by calling her Miss Perfect. A new boy in school, Hans Ollig from Germany, speaks only a little English and is trying hard to learn to talk like the other kids. Jack is assigned to show him around the school. Their fifth grade teacher, Mrs. Hollis, begins a "Melting Pot" unit in social studies. Each student will choose a country and prepare a report about the history of the country and what people who immigrated from that country have contributed to the United States. The student will share a food from the country and teach a few words of the language. C.J. chooses to study Italy, Lizabeth picks France, and the teacher assigns Jack to work with Hans on Switzerland. Jack's mother arranges for Jack and Hans to meet with a new family in the neighborhood. The boys go to interview Mr. Schwartz who grew up in Switzerland. Jack is surprised to find that many people from Switzerland speak German, so Hans and Mr. Schwartz have lots to say to each other. The boys get a good start on their report even though Steve tries to ruin a map Hans has made. With white-out and a copy machine, the librarian helps save the day, and the boys end up with a great report. Members of Jack's family are all baseball fans and tremendously excited that the Colorado Rockies are going to be in the World Series. Jack's uncle has given him an old glove from his high school days. When Jack takes the glove to school, it disappears. That same day, Steve's watch disappears and he's very worried because the watch belongs to his father. Steve accuses Hans of stealing the watch, which Hans denies. A search of the school does not turn up the glove or the watch. While playing at the park, Jack sees that Steve has his glove. Steve refuses to give the glove back and tosses it into the back of a passing garbage truck. Jack and friends pursue the truck and recover the glove. As Jack and his buddies walk home from the park, they see that a police car is in front of Jack Mates's house. It becomes clear that Jack's father has been drinking and has hit both his wife and son. The cause of the fight may be the missing wristwatch which Steve took to school without his father's permission. When Jack gets home, he tells his parents what has been going on. They want to help but he insists that he must take care of the problem himself. Next morning, Jack confronts Steve and tells him the bullying must end. Jack says he will go with Steve before school starts to Mrs. Hollis where Steve can confess he stole the glove. If not, Jack will tell what happened in front of the entire class. Steve reluctantly confesses. As the class cleans up the room getting ready to share presentations, Steve's watch is found. Uncle Max comes flying in to visit for Jack's birthday and to take them to the World Series Game. With the bullies faced up to, Jack celebrates his birthday with a new glove from his Uncle Max, and with buddies and baseball.
Have you ever heard the phrase "can't live with them, can't live without them"? Have you ever felt like that before when dealing with children? Sometimes they are all over the place, sometimes they don't listen, sometimes they say and do things that get on our last nerve. But at the same time, we fully understand that these children are our hearts, they are our joy, they are the reason many of us continue to get up and live life. So while they make us upset sometimes, we also can't imagine life without them. Not only can we not imagine life without them, but those who have a heart for children are willing to go through great lengths, do whatever it takes to help them become successful. A Gift Worth Fighting For helps us, adults, develop strategies that will help our children be successful. It is not so much about what they need to do, as it is more about us examining our own lives to make sure we are doing our part to help them. No one goes to war, without carefully strategizing a plan to win. This book will help you with that plan. As adults, we have to be honest with ourselves and ask the tough question: "Is there more that I can do to help this child?" The answer is yes, we can change ourselves, and the motivation for this change is because our children are a gift from God, and any gift that comes from Him is a gift worth fighting for.
The Woman Touching The Hem Of His Garment Testifies

This book is about the woman who grabbed a hold of the hem of Jesus as he walked through the town. She was so desperate to get to him because she had been ill 12 years with an issue of blood; she pushed through the throng of people that walked with him. She was unclean due to her disease so she was at risk of being stoned to death because of her appearance on the street. Jesus suddenly turned around and said,"Who touched me?"He felt virtue go out of him as this woman of faith received her healing. This brave, courageous woman of Bible times goes unnamed today; although I am sure she was named but unknown to all of us, she has been talked about now famous for her activities of that day. Our book is women's testimonies of today and how they've been healed by the hem of Jesus in some way or another. Therefore based on the healing of these women, Jesus indeed does live as do his miracles which continue on in his stead. Glory be unto God
There are happenings in this world that we don't understand and won't believe. ..... Until they happen to us.An old man dies at the precise moment that a baby is born, and a bond is forged between them which will last for eternity. Jacob Shaunessy is having vivid dreams, of romantic interludes with a beautiful young woman. She is familiar to him, and yet, he can't find her in his memories. He knows instinctively that the exotic locations of the dreams are in the northern tropics of Australia; however, he has never been to that part of the world. The dreams lead him to a small town in Far North Queensland, where he and his best mate Mick Dyson are drawn deeper into a dark mystery which reaches back almost 80 years, and will plunge them into the depths of revenge and violent death, as the past comes forward in a final attempt to end a deadly vendetta.
Have you got what seems like great holes in your pockets and every time you get some money, it falls right through the holes? Has your bank account blown up to zero balance no matter what you do? Are your finances a struggle each and every day? Do you go from paycheck to paycheck and end up with little by the time you turn around? Is your age larger than the cash you have on hand? Why is that? Do you know that finances are one of the biggest subjects taught about in the Body of Christ? It's not the salvation of souls nor about Jesus on the cross or about grace or about anything else but so much is said about finances. Come on now what is up with that? It must be a weak area of the Body and the Lord wants me to help address it. God has chosen me to write about unpopular subjects; those that others have either shied away from or avoided altogether. It's me, it's me oh Lord standing in the need of prayer. People please pray for me. I must be obedient. This thread has been woven into society years and years ago although God has a purpose for every thing under heaven. I have heard this many times from believers, calling it forth: "Money cometh " Now I don't believe there is anything wrong with this saying but I do believe it is the wrong focus. Sure this is what many need but look to the Giver and not the gift. Jesus says He is the way, the truth and the life so what's wrong with this picture? Take your eyes off of the problem and put them on the solution. Pray more, praise and worship more and spend time with your God more. Jesus is the only solution not money. Seek more of Him to build your faith in every area of your life. Keep your faith in Jesus and not in man who can do nothing to save your situation. Our focus should be Jesus. There was a time when things my husband told me about in life that my quick reply would be: "That's holes in their pockets " It was baffling to me how so many people do not understand what is happening to them. They spend and spend and spend some more and their thirst to spend is never satisfied. And when they turn around there's not enough funds to spend on anymore. It's as if the money goes somewhere else but never stays in one place for very long. It goes through the holes in your pockets. This book via way the Holy Ghost will attempt to satisfy your needs and stitch up those holes thread by thread, chapter by chapter and God is giving me Proverbs to glean from. This is a field of wisdom we will try to glean and reap the rewards of. I can only turn it over to the Lord expecting phenomenal results because He is my teacher and knows all things. I depend on Him to inspire me each and every time a creative idea comes my way. Thank You Lord for all your wisdom and knowledge; I pray it blesses all who take their time out to read these words here in this particular book for such a time as this and to the glory of our God Proverbs 16:16 How much better to get wisdom than gold, and good judgment than silver Now God has woken me up this morning with a good thought for this book and I have to tell you about it to help you along here. This book being about finances God wants you to be good stewards of what He gives you and here is how we can help. God wants us to type in one of His names at the end of these chapters and you are to call upon that name and your ways will become blessed. Each name will be one HE gives me as I focus on Him and hear His voice; it's not my voice but His voice; it's not my will but His will be done in these pages. Call upon His name because His name is above every name and is all powerful to get the job done: Call upon the name of: Jesus Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
