Jerry Williams

A 31 Day devotional to assist in keeping a consistent time in the Word of God and meditating on His goodness.

So here you have it - the story of Doc Williams, recorded by one of his sons and two of his grandchildren. Our aunts, uncles, and cousins have other memories. This is not a polished biography, but we think it tells some true things. Doc emerges as a polymath - a man who could fix just about anything, welcomed new technology, hustled, adapted, loved dogs, and drove fast cars and speed boats. He married three times, kept a beautiful garden, played music, worshipped on Sunday, enjoyed the company of others, and dropped everything to answer a call for help. He was a man who gave much to his beloved community, Cannon Falls, Minnesota.

This book is a collection of stories that God has given me. Each story was given to me from our Glorious Lord. Since my walk with God began in 2011, God has given me a word for me to research, usually a word that does not apply to my current situation, or a word that I have never used, always leading me to a part of my life where I thought I was alone, God is showing me how He is with me now, but has always been the footprints in the sand during my life. Thank you Jesus

Early on, Jerry Williams learned that he had he ability to fix and repair almost anything-even if it meant inventing something to make life work a little better and easier. From cars to houses, Jerry never met a challenge he couldn't master. He built a career as the go-to guy in his rural African-American community. Now, in a style "plain and simple so everyone can read it," Jerry offers up personal opinions about America, covering subjects as varied as race, education, literacy, money, and overcoming impediments, from within and without. Reacting strongly to a racist statement he once read, that poor people can't read, Jerry looks closely at what people can do to change their perceptions. While he encourages young and old alike to be strong and resolute, he strongly urges everyone to set aside their antagonisms and rage. What we must do, Jerry says, is to stop being fixated on the divide between black and white, but instead see each other as fellow human beings so that in the end all of us can come together. And if we can do that, the ever-optimistic Jerry sees a very bright future for our nation.

Fram Fram St. Olaf The St. Olaf College Hymn This hymn is very meaningful to me. I memorized it as a first-year student at St. Olaf College in 1946. As I look back over my life, I came to realize the strength and direction in my life came from the Spirit of God. I chose one line from that hymn for the title of my life story. (Words by Dr. Oscar Overby, music by Dr. F. Melius Christiansen.)

Gate of Arden is a grimoire of collected poems that are visualizations of the mermaid mythos, lunar magic, and the multiple universes at the nexus point called the gate of Arden.

A contemplation on small remnants scattered across the grounds of memories, Tailings retrieves the intimate thoughts and stories from the son of a gold miner. This beautifully rendered collection travels across the rustic crevices of a contemporary America, and author Jerry Williams presents and analyzes fragments of life and loss, shaping himself through childhood memories of raspberry bushes, pickup trucks, and hospital beds. Through a rumination on portraits, a study of self, and an unearthing of stories, Tailings is balanced in philosophy and storytelling, illustrating the identity of a sociologist, a cancer survivor, and an Oregon goldminer's son.

This century of growth has been fed by equally unprecedented material resource consumption and associated negative environmental impacts. This book offers both a vision and a path to a sustainable future while maintaining a livable world. Sustainability is a human concern, and sustainable development cannot occur without human development. This collection of essays introduces the human dimension into the sustainability debate by applying what we call the golden rule of sustainability: “Do unto future generations as you would have had previous ones do unto yours.” Guided by this ethical imperative and by harnessing the power of science in both the physical and human worlds, we have can remake national and global institutions in ways that offer real hope for future generations.

In this collection of poems, Williams employs elements of both the narrative and surrealistic lyric--addressing subjects as diverse as family, alienation, political quandary, and artistic desire--in order to craft a darkly humorous and generally hard-hitting vision of the current state of contemporary America. In the words of Bob Hicok: "This is not the misanthrope's attack but the lover's hope for something better and true: a genuine self, a sustaining culture."
