Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Words are wonderful, wacky. wise, winsome things to use. Sometimes seemingly senseless, sometimes soulful or sorrowful, sometimes spiritual or soulish, and sometimes startling, strengthening, sarcastic, sinful, or soul winning. Words are used in many ways and have many faces, fonts, facets, fortes, factions, flavors, and fans. Use them carefully for they can hurt to the quick, encourage to be quick, quicken the spirit, soothe the sorrowful, and confuse the illiterate. The paragraph above is an example of alliteration run rampant. So run, rally, reiterate, read, and return. Alliterative poems, short stories, and pithy proverbs in this book abound with humor, social comment, and even silliness. If you want a laugh, a jolt, or just a smile, you need to curl up with this book and get ready for the unexpected. Its not a childrens book, but its rated fun. Heres a couple of examples BS Bruce Sturgess bought string beans and stuffed broiled sirloin before sending Bryan Scott, burdened somewhat, back soon for baked swordfish. Bruce smiled beamingly, seemingly, because swordfish brought some bright, sweet memories to mind. Before Sandra Beavers split, Bruce and Sandra both savored baked swordfish. Bittersweet but soothing memories of being sweethearts bloomed somewhere in Bruces soul. Sandra Beavers stood, built sweetly, built solid, built slender, built sprightly, bust size beautiful and sensual. Besides stirring Bruce Sturgess best stuff between Bruces strong legs, Sandra brought sensations to brighten Sturgess brain. Somewhat better since breaking up, Sturgess became sadly bewildered sometimes, but soon Bruce would bite swordfish again, and Bryans smile would brighten Sturgess beautiful suite on Boston Street. Bitter soon after Sandras brother stiffed Bruce and Bruce stuffed Sandras brother into a blue suit, a big sack, and a black Studebaker, Sandra broke with Sturgess and stomped back to South Burbank steaming and bristling. Better start being sensible, Bruce Sturgess, said Bruce to himself, seconds before smartly backing into a Buick Skylark. Buck Smothers burst from the Skylark and busted Sturgess on Bruces suntanned beak. Big, stupid, backward, stunted, brainless student of bashing standing Buicks! screamed Buck. Be still! said Bruce. Some bystander, stand by for something beautiful! Bruce stood before Smothers, and, before some could blink, struck Buck with several blows. Smothers, bruised and somewhat bloody, slowly bowed and sank to the busy sidewalk. A bit stupid, Buster! said Bruce. Later, after settling business, Sturgess, Bryan Scott, and Buck Smothers began eating swordfish between solemn bodyguards. The bodyguards were protecting Bryan Scott, because it was Scotts bundles and such that blocked Sturgess back window and contributed to the bruised Skylark. Anyway, Bruce Sturgess, Bryan Scott, and Buck Smothers, bellies stretched by swordfish, BSd the night away. But whats the difference? This is all BS anyway! COMMENT In the forgoing piece, paired words, one beginning with B, one with S, are used for the alliterative effect. In the following piece, alliteration is achieved by the more direct traditional approach almost all of the words begin with the letter M. MUSKETS Misfired muskets mutilate millions. Must muskets multiply? Maybe muskets might make mommy miserable, but must masses be miffed? Muskets make moose huntable. Moose meat makes mighty fine eating! Moose might be merry without muskets, but musketeers might go hungry without muskets. Might a moose be misused because of muskets? Mounts and muskets make might, and me being mighty makes me militant. Mark my words, muskets must not be withheld from the masses, minorities maybe, Mormons for sure. Muskrats may multiply without using muskets to maintain a manageable balance. Missed making my mark because of my missing
Download or read book Whatsoever Means Anything written by Joel L. Meredith and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2000-10-25 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Should miracles all be taken with a grain of salt or be accepted without a trace of doubt? What if Jesus was taken literally when He said, “You haven’t asked Me for anything yet. Ask for whatsoever you want, and I will do it for you so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” And what if Jesus responded instantly to such requests? And what if Jesus started answering questions plainly, and it became next to impossible to not recognize a Christian? Hasn’t a story got room for more than one miracle? If you answered to that was no, then this book is not for you; however, if your answer was yes, then this is the book for you. The story is crowded with people like yourself, except for the awesome adventure in which they find themselves. Here’s a sampling from a couple of chapters. Irving Samuels pulled his coat collar tighter about his neck and ducked his head into the wind as he pressed on toward home. “I wish that I didn’t have to face Maria tonight,” he thought. “Why does she have to nag me all of time, anyway? She wasn’t that way before we got married. Sometimes I wish that I had stayed single.” Irving patted his breast pocket to verify to himself the presence of his paycheck. He fervently hoped that it would go further than it usually did. It might be a long time before he would get another paycheck, because he had just been laid off along with five hundred of his fellow employees. “They could have given us more warning,” he thought. “On the other hand, what would I have done if they had given me two weeks notice? So many people are out of work that there aren’t any jobs open anyway, especially in my field. Oh well, in a couple of weeks, I can draw unemployment.” Irving sighed deeply. Lately things hadn’t been going at all well for him. Suddenly he stopped and spun around, “You dummy!” he admonished himself. “You walked right past the bank.” He quickly retraced his steps past three stores and entered the front door of the American National Bank. He was pleased to find that there were only two people in line at the teller’s window. A few minutes later, his check was cashed, and he was pocketing the money. Somehow his week’s pay of $480 didn’t seem to measure up to his usual high regard for his paycheck. “A good stiff drink or two might help me feel better,” he decided. “Ha! It might even help me to face Maria!” A few steps more brought him to Mickey’s Tavern. Irving walked inside, blinked his eyes to adjust to the gloom, and yelled at the bartender, “Hey, Mick! Give me a bourbon! Better yet, make it a double.” “Hey yourself, Irving! What’re you doing in here so early?” “Got laid off!” answered Irving. “Boy, nothing’s going right lately.” Just then, the newscast on the radio behind the bar caught Irving’s attention. “The Dow Jones Industrial Averages plunged another 522 points today to establish a 15 Year low. Brokers attribute much of this drop to . . .” “Oh no!” groaned Irving. “First my job, and now this!” “It can’t be that bad,” said Mickey as he put the bourbon down in front of Irving. Irving tossed the drink down neat and grimaced before answering , “My stock hasn’t done anything but go down since I bought it. On top of that, it follows the Dow like it was glued to it. I bought right at the peak, and if that isn’t bad enough, I bought 500 shares on margin. I kept waiting for it to go up, and now I’ve waited too long. Now I will have to put up some more cash. With my job gone, I just can’t afford it. Give me another double.” Irving gulped down the second drink, threw a couple of bills on the bar, and walked out. “What a stupid mes
Download or read book The Gentile Bible written by Joel L. Meredith and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-12-20 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gentiles are non-Jews. Christianity was originally a Jewish religious sect. What is normally called THE HOLY BIBLE by contemporary Christians is comprised of the OLD and the NEW TESTAMENTS. The Old Testament is a record of how God dealt with the Jews and their ancestors. The New Testament is composed of four accounts of Jesus and his ministry (the gospels), an account of the Apostles’ ministries (Acts), various letters (epistles), and a long prophecy (Revelation). Some of the New Testament deals with Jewish doctrine or is particularly aimed at Jewish Christians. But why would Gentile Christians need to be interested or involved with Jewish laws or customs? Therefore, Gentile Christianity would be less confusing and less restrictive if only there was a Bible just for Gentiles. Therefore, the Gentile Bible is confined to the New Testament. Furthermore, the New Testament potions that are particularly addressed to Jewish Christians are not included. The result, then, is a Gentile Guide Book or a Gentile Holy Bible. An additional benefit is that the four gospels are combined, and the whole Gentile Bible is paraphrased KJV in modern English.

Download or read book More Than Enough written by Joel L. Meredith and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2001-01-18 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE DATE: January 26, 1955. It was my twentieth birthday. THE PLACE: A train on its way from Salt Lake City, Utah to Sacramento, California. I sat looking out a train window at the scenery speeding by. MY THOUGHTS: A jumble of emotions. I was on my way overseas to Korea to serve a tour of duty with the United States Air Force. But first I would stop at McClellan Air Force Base (AFB) near Sacramento for overseas processing. I was bitter about my overseas assignment, but I was glad that the Korean armistice had finally been signed. At least nobody would be shooting at me, and I wouldn't have to kill someone else in the name of war. Just a couple of weeks earlier, my girl friend had rejected my proposal of marriage. I had asked and asked God to give that girl to me for my wife. God had said no, and I was mad at Him. MORE TRAVEL: By train to Travis AFB, California and an overnight stay; by plane to Hickam AFB, Hawaii for a short two hour stopover; and by plane to Tokyo, Japan for three days. THE STORY BEGINS. The stopover in Tokyo, Japan for three days was for special orientation (no pun intended). In that short time, I Sampled Tokyo's night life, had sex with a Japanese girl in a back alley, and spent the night in a hotel room with a young Japanese prostitute. It wasnt my usual style, but then I was mad at God. I decided to hurt Him the only way I knew how: SIN, SIN, SIN. Soon I was in Korea starting my twelve month tour of duty. Being in Korea was not my idea of fun, but there were certain diversions to take my mind off my misery. I drank a bit, partied a bit, and enjoyed the services of several Korean prostitutes a lot. Finally, I got tired of partying and settled for shacking up with a Korean girl named Peggy. We rented a room in a village not far from the Air Force compound where I was stationed. This village hideaway gave me some respite from being on call 24 hours a day. In spite of all this, I continued my lifelong habit of praying every night before going to sleep. Then there came a time that my nightly prayers stopped: I couldn't continue to ask God to forgive me for fornication when I had no real intention of stopping, let alone marrying Peggy. Immersed in guilt, I started seriously considering suicide. My dislike for service life and the poor living conditions in Korea helped to deepen my depression. It seemed as though others also had similar wishes for me when one of my fellow airmen said to me in an angry tone, "Meredith, if I were you I'd kill myself!" And then a few days later, Peggy, in reference to some situation, said, "If I was in a fix like that, I'd kill myself!" One morning, after spending the night in the village with Peggy, the two of us were walking in the rain along the bank of a small river which was swollen and quite swift due to the heavy seasonal rains. Normally, it would have been a simple matter to cross the river further upstream near the village where Peggy lived, but the water there was now about chest deep. We were therefore walking downstream to a bridge that crossed the river. At that point, the highway to Seoul also crossed the river. Peggy was going to catch a bus to Seoul, and I was headed back to the Air Force compound. As we rounded a bend in the river, a commotion in the river caught our attention. It was an elderly Korean farmer being swept downstream by the raging current. He was on his back and unable to right himself because of a heavy wooden plow strapped to his back! I quickly emptied my pockets, kicked off my rubber Korean shoes, and jumped into the water. (My Boy Scout training was about to pay off!) I quickly reached the old man, pulled him loose from the plow, and got him safely to shore. Then I rescued his plow. The old man was cut and bleeding from the pounding he’d taken from being swept against the large boulders in the river, but his wounds did not appear serious enough for emergency first ai

Download or read book Mastering the Discipline of Bible Study written by Jenai J. Rasmussen Ed.D. and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2022-07-22 with total page 1543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work, along with the other volumes in the Foundational Knowledge of the Bible series, can help those who are young in the faith to seek a Christian relationship with God. All who choose to enter into the new covenant must concurrently embrace a new perceptual field. By heeding God’s call to service, believers embark upon a Christian journey to become wise from the application of spiritual knowledge. This is made possible with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit who guides covenant believers in the faithful word of God, which is the source of all spiritual truth in this world. The intended purpose presented in this plan of action is to speak the truth of God in love so that the brethren can learn godly discernment, be equipped with sound doctrine, and grow together in all things according to Christ’s authoritative leadership (Eph. 4:15). By becoming covenant Christians set apart by God for his particular use, we can be diligent by precisely and accurately handling the word of truth (2 Tim. 2:15). This series can serve to edify and ground those who are new in the faith because the revelation of God provides all the essential answers to life’s pressing spiritual questions, whether general or specific. Accordingly, Christ’s disciples need to comprehend the questions before the answers can have real meaning. No greater reason can be given for studying the Bible. Therefore, the people of God are duty-bound to master this Christian discipline. The first volume in this series is divided into three phases of Bible study: “Why” addresses the importance of knowing God’s word, study motivations, conditions for discipleship, Christian distinctions, and the attributes needed to study biblical truth. “How” covers preliminary actions, Bible versions, principles, study considerations, and necessary skills. “What” offers a unique sevenfold framework for understanding the Bible. Divine power can move the Scriptures to be more than words on a page. It can become a life-changing force for good in the world. To that end, this resource directs the reader on how to inquire, search, and ask diligently concerning godly truth. Invaluable information, accessible resources, clear educational materials, and deep biblical insights will all quickly serve to establish beginning students in the Sacred Text. This work will also prepare the reader to receive the Scriptures by learning how to obtain a faithful accounting of spiritual truth. To be sure, wisdom is the result of applying biblical knowledge to our lives. By speaking divine truth in love, believers can grow together in Christ as fellow workers who labor in the word of God. There is no greater work in this world than to share this life-saving truth with others. The obligation of receiving divine knowledge requires that it be shared. Truly, giving the hope and joy that is found in Jesus Christ, and the message he brought from the Father, is the greatest privilege of a human life. Amen, and amen.
