For Blonn, sitting in the park and watch the world go by has always been a good way of easing burden ever since Mr. Jones passed away. Mrs. Jones, his widowed wife has not much to offer to Blonn in terms of companionship because of her poor health condition. The only option left for Blonn is his daily trip to the park in the memory of Mr. Jones who introduced him to the area as a puppy. With age, being at his disadvantage, all he could do is to lump himself down on the park bench he previously shared with Mr. Jones. Nothing much could steal and retain his attention except to navigate his thoughts from the rich memories of the past to the complicated present. Day-dreaming, is part of his regular routine. He then dozes off just for a little while on the park bench, or so he thinks, before returning home to Mrs. Jones. But all that changed after a chanced-encounter with Carl. Carl is a young, hyperactive, bold, say-it-as-it-is character. Carl's youthful exuberance evoked mixed feelings to Blonn. Would he be able to accommodate the newer generation and their ideas or stagnate in the past and be his age by ignoring the ideas associated with the new changes? Incidentally life changed for Blonn as he was forced to drift from the position of a mentor for the much younger Carl, and a mentee aspiring to live in the present. About the AuthorDr. Cornelius Nwachukwu Eneh was born in the then Eastern Nigeria. He started his formal education in Nigeria before he proceeded to India where he qualified as a Veterinarian having obtained his Bachelor of Veterinary Science from the prestigious Madras Veterinary College, affiliated to Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, India, in 1985. His love for animals, especially dogs started at the early age of 4 when his late father, a member of the Nigerian Police Force, and a profound enthusiast of dogs, took particular interest in breeding and training dogs, with specially interest in German Shepard breed popularly known then as guard dogs. Cornelius, as he prefers to be called, became very much attached to his family dogs. He was almost so inseparable from them especially the chubby fluffy puppies that he cried bitterly whenever any of the puppies is taken away to new homes. Little wonder he chose to pursue a career as a veterinarian later in life. Back in Nigeria, soon after graduation he became a registered member of the Veterinary Council of Nigeria. He, also became, a certified private Veterinarian with the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, Sultanate of Oman. He immigrated to Canada in 2000 where rekindled his love for dogs and took a course as a pet stylist with the Pets Beautiful Inc. grooming school. Cornelius is a proud owner and operator of the then Pet Heaven Grooming and Supplies. He presently owns and operates Pet Supply Service in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. With close to two decades of grooming experience, Cornelius has more than ten thousand dog-grooming-hours to his credit including all the major, popular breeds of pet dogs. He lives in Mississauga, Ontario with his wife, a daughter and a son.

Your job is not your vocation. Everyone hungers for work that has meaning and purpose. But what gives work meaning? Vocation, or “calling,” is the answer Protestant Christianity offers: each person is called by God to serve the common good in a particular line of work. Your vocation, evidently, might be almost anything: as a nurse, a wilderness guide, a calligrapher, a missionary, an activist, a venture capitalist, a politician, an executioner… Yet, as Will Willimon writes in this issue, the New Testament knows only one form of vocation: discipleship. And discipleship is far more likely to mean leaving father and mother, houses and land, than it is to mean embracing one’s identity as a fisherman or tax collector. This issue of Plough focuses on people who lived their lives with that sense of vocation. Such a life demands self-sacrifice and a willingness to recognize one’s own supposed strengths as weaknesses, as it did for the Canadian philosopher Jean Vanier. It involves a lifelong commitment to a flesh-and-blood church, as Coptic Archbishop Angaelos describes. It may even require a readiness to give up one’s life, as it did for Annalena Tonelli, an Italian humanitarian who pioneered the treatment of tuberculosis in the Horn of Africa. But as these stories also testify, it brings a gladness deeper than any self-chosen path. Also in this issue: - Scott Beauchamp on mercenaries - Nathan Schneider on cryptocurrencies - Stephanie Saldaña on Syrian refugee art - Peter Biles on loneliness at college - Phil Christman on Bible translation - Michael Brendan Dougherty on fatherhood - Insights on vocation from C. S. Lewis, Thérèse of Lisieux, Mother Teresa, Eberhard Arnold, Dorothy Sayers, Jean Vanier, and Gerard Manley Hopkins - poetry by Devon Balwit and Carl Sandburg - reviews of books by Robert Alter, Edwidge Danticat, Matthew D. Hockenos, Amy Waldman, and Jeremy Courtney - art and photography by Pola Rader, Dean Mitchell, Mark Freear, Timothy Jones, Pawel Filipczak, Mary Pal, Harley Manifold, Sami Lalu Jahola, Marc Chagall, and Russell Bain. Plough Quarterly features stories, ideas, and culture for people eager to put their faith into action. Each issue brings you in-depth articles, interviews, poetry, book reviews, and art to help you put Jesus’ message into practice and find common cause with others.
LONGLISTED FOR THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR PRIZE 'Terrific fun' David Walsh, Sunday Times * * 'Thoroughly engaging' Washington Post A frank and revealing biography of legendary golf champion Phil Mickelson - who has led a big, controversial life - as reported by longtime Sports Illustrated writer and bestselling author Alan Shipnuck. Phil Mickelson is one of the most compelling figures in sports. For more than three decades he has been among the best golfers in the world, and his unmatched longevity was exemplified at the 2021 PGA Championship, when Mickelson, on the cusp of turning fifty-one, became the oldest player in history to win a major championship. In this raw and unauthorised biography, Shipnuck captures a singular life defined by thrilling victories, crushing defeats and countless controversies. Mickelson is a multi-faceted character, and all his warring impulses are on display in these pages: he is a smart-ass who built an empire on being the consummate professional; a loving husband dogged by salacious rumours; a high-stakes gambler who knows the house always wins but can’t tear himself away. Mickelson’s career and public image have been defined by the contrast with his lifelong rival, Tiger Woods. Where Woods is robotic and reticent, Mickelson is affable and extroverted, an incorrigible showman. In their early years together on Tour, Mickelson lacked Tiger’s laser focus and discipline, yet as Tiger’s career has been curtailed by scandal, addiction and a broken body, Phil sails on, still relevant on the golf course and in the marketplace.Phil is the perfect marriage of subject and author. Shipnuck delivers numerous revelations, from the true scale of Mickelson’s massive gambling losses to the secretive backstory of the Saudi golf league that Mickelson championed. But Phil also celebrates Mickelson’s random acts of kindness and generosity of spirit, to which friends and strangers alike can attest. Shipnuck has covered Mickelson for his entire career, allowing him to take readers inside the ropes with a thrilling immediacy and intimacy. The result is the juiciest and liveliest golf book in years - full of heart, humour and unexpected turns.

This is a rich and many-faceted personal and business biography of the main figure in the third generation of Weyerhaeusers, who led the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company through the difficult and decisive years from 1933 to 1956.Although Phil Weyerhaeuser preferred to pass over the importance of his role, he was an industry leader and as such could not escape a large public duty. The years in which he served, from the 1920s tin the Inland Empire, and from 1933 to 1956 with the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company west of the Cascades, were years of great demands and change. Within his tenure the country experience the Great Depression and World War II, the reluctant acceptance by business of New Deal and Fair Deal legislation and bureaucratic requirements, and the adjustments occasioned by the managerial revolution. In the case of the Timber Company, the period witnessed its transition from what had been primarily a dealer in timberlands to an integrated manufacturer of forest products, from a liquidator of forest resources to a managers of tree farms designed to be perpetual in their providence.Phil oversaw his responsibilities to good purpose. His quiet style is of interest and so too are the effects of just being a Weyerhaeuser. The latter, of course, had much to do with his opportunities and also influenced the manner in which he conducted himself. But it was not without its liabilities, and the family relationships are an important element in the story. The most significant feature, however, has to do with the study of a period and a place and an industry through the experiences of a very special organization and its leadership. The study brings people and events into clearer focus and gives them added meaning. This is of particular importance in an industry so given to stereotyping and disapprobation.This well-written account reveals in detail the operation of a huge family enterprise, government-industry relations at a key time in United States history, labor relations, and efforts to expand and continually revitalize a large company--dependent on natural resources--over a period of half a century. Central to these efforts was Phil's conviction that the best way for a forest products company to operate was to own its own timberlands. he saw such holdings as necessary if the company was to engage in sustained-yield management.This biography draws extensively on primary sources--correspondence, family records, memoranda, and numerous interviews. It will be of interest to historians of the Pacific Northwest and the forest products industry, students of business history, and all readers interested in the development of a major American company.
