Download or read book Only the Strong Survive written by Ashley Biddiscombe and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2022-10-12 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many of us, the dream of starting a family is the hope we hold most dear. Sometimes, though, things don’t go as easy as we planned. There are few who will admit the hardship this brings—from struggling with infertility to the daunting process of adoption—and we end up suffering in silence and solitude. In this candid and thoughtful memoir, author Ashley Biddiscombe takes an unflinching look at the struggle she and her wife faced in starting their family—something that might be especially familiar to LGBTQ couples like them—and their eventual decision to adopt children with special needs. Biddiscombe’s story gives voice to countless difficulties that often go unspoken along journeys like hers. Beginning with the secret traumas of fertility treatments and the heartbreak of having the “baby door” close, she examines the strain this can put on one’s relationship both to one’s partner and to one’s very self. Moving into the intimidating world of adoption, she probes the difficulties of raising children with unique and difficult traumas of their own, of establishing and maintaining a relationship with birth parents, and of the isolation one can feel as a LGBTQ couple in a world generally catered toward the straight. Finally, she relays the unique and often very private struggles of raising children with disabilities—from the social alienation one might feel from the “outside” world to the difficult process of finding the right diagnosis and support system. Ultimately, Only the Strong Survive is a story of resilience in the face of great pain and the indomitable power of unconditional love. No matter where you are in starting or raising a family, you are sure to find compassion and understanding herein.
Download or read book Only the Strong Survive written by Joe Hently and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-11-28 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My military career would be from February 28, 1956 to March 31, 1976. My Air Force specialty code was 65170-Procurment Supervisor, secondary specialty was 64570, Inventory Management Supervisor, which was a political correct name for the Supply Sergeant or NCOIC. I worked in about every field in the service part of Air Force from Physical Ed. Instructor to teaching warfare technique. I always had a great group people and we were successful, because I was able to always teach respect for one another, which led to a good outfit. Great leaders are born and I was a damn good leader of human beings! I would have been great in the military or civilian life, but the military was able to give me my discipline and organizational skills to accomplish any task given, because with my faith, prayer and the knowledge that I am who I am, I knew I could do anything that I was able to do to completion! I was top of my NCO leadership school, and top of the NCO Academy. I was one of the first to enter a one year school in N.Y. called the Blue Suiter Program Military Group for the first computer system to be operated by military personnel, the UNIVAC 1050 computer system for the Air Force (1964). My job was NCOIC of 100, 000 line items (spare parts) for the complete system. Procurement school, Lowry AFB, Denver Colorado, I held a GPA of 4.0 and was class president. There was a college ECI course through the University of Maryland. I completed 71 courses in other career fields as an Airman that I was in charge of. I knew as much about other missions as other folks did. I also completed all the other 27 courses and related jobs of my career field, which gave me enough credits for a BA college degree! Some of my accomplishments were EOC NCOIC, Commissioner of the 5 BX Program, Exercise and Diet base level, Base schools and all squadron activity to operate a Base. My Masonic Order and my involvement as a captain of the semi-pro football team gave a platform to involve the Base and the city in football, flag football, softball, baseball, bowling, little and pony leagues (8-14 yr old boys after school football program) for training if there grade point average were up to a 3.0, a Thanksgiving Program for the needy every November, a program for the disadvantage kids, which included seven Masonic brothers as big brother and role models. If they had a problem they would call their best troubleshooter and I was always successful, because I treated each person as a human being and with respect, not as cattle. Decorations and Awards: VSM w/2 BSS, RVSM, AFOVA, AFGCM w/3 OLC, AFLSA w/4 OLC, AFM 900-3. There would have been other medals if I had showed up for the award ceremonies. I would not accept the damn medals if I was not accepted as human being or as a patriot in this racist system. I was never promoted passed the rank of Technical Sgt/ E-6, because I could not in good conscience stay out of the movement for the rights of all humans, not just my Black Pride, which was also on display, so the Air Force has labeled me as a Communist Agitator.

Download or read book Trapped in Oblivion written by Richard D. Jr. Kydd and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2004 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Trapped in Oblivion: Between the Rule of Heaven and Hell, poet Richard D. Kydd Jr. describes exactly that human condition: Souls at once held in the hand and vision of God, while suffering the struggles of the damned and blind. And therein lies Kydd's gift; the ability to realistically portray both the endless human capacity for hope and love amid a life of sorrow and loss. His ability to reconcile this paradox and juxtapose hope and despair in the same poem is what makes his work so compelling. As in his previous work, Kydd shows wide range. In By the Pale Moonlight he describes the moon as simultaneously, "A barren desolate environment of rock...a bureaucratic reason to spend billions...a beacon showing lovers the way to the heart..." and, finally, with tongue in cheek, "...an excuse for a poem's subject matter." Kydd understands illusion well, and the theme runs throughout his work. Oh God Dear God presents a typical happy family, then bluntly and unexpectedly shocks at the end. He speaks often of the mirage of money and power, and of the soul losing its way in pursuit of illusory happiness. Yet in the end he always gives hope. In Star Bright he may say sarcastically, "Lactose intolerant to your Mama's tit," as he depicts the fate of the outcast. But in Rings of Fire he promises, "Life has blessed us one to another in this day of our love." In The Shadow of a Friend Kydd says, "You know my dear Sister. Haven't you looked upon her face? You call her Life. I am her Brother. To you I am Death. Come, be one with me." It is the mark of his maturity as a poet that Kydd is able to help the reader reconcile life with death, and accept our fate as human beings.

Book excerpt: On the eve of World War II, twin brothers are divided by the murder of a German Jew, in this epic tale from New York Times–bestselling author Taylor Caldwell. Karl Erlich loves his country. But these are dangerous times for Germany, whose poor and downtrodden have been seduced by an Austrian sign painter named Adolf Hitler. Karl’s twin brother, Kurt, a distinguished scientist, has already pledged his allegiance to the Third Reich, a regime that Karl finds cruel and oppressive. But he soon has even more reason to fear: There is talk of the Nazis singling out the Jews for extermination. Karl and Kurt’s younger sister, Gerda, is engaged to Eric Rheinhardt, a German Jew. Before Gerda and Eric can escape to America, Eric is arrested by the Gestapo. Then the unthinkable happens, and in the wake of searing tragedy, Karl cuts all ties with his brother. A onetime candidate for the Nobel Prize for Literature, he is no longer able to write, eat, or sleep. His wife, Therese, fears for his sanity. She knows she must get her husband away from the madness that is now Germany. But can she rescue her husband, who is rapidly becoming like their beleaguered Rhineland—inconsolable, frightened, and thirsting for revenge? As she seeks answers, unknowingly thrusting herself into harm’s way, Therese will discover the powerful ties that bind German to Jew, and come to realize that the only one way to save Karl is to save Germany. Set in the years of the Nazis’ ascent to power, Time No Longer is at once a universal and intensely personal novel about the struggle against hate and fear that can elevate an ordinary man to extraordinary heights and the unassailable bond between two brothers.
Download or read book The Crazy Making Disease written by Christopher Bear Beam and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2004-05-12 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Racism has been called our nation's "evil weed"-it has been a root of so many problems in our culture. This book offers a suggestive hologram in which to solve this problem. If we can address this fundamental systemic problem of racism, we can surgically remove the main problem of ambiguous identity that is creating such havoc for us. At the root of racism is a spiritual element that if investigated, discovered and applied, may reverse the dysfunctional conditioning factors that fragment our society. The book invites the reader to look at some of the conditioners of racism and to uncover some semantic and spiritual strategies that will lead to racial healing. It's the author's dream that this will help to create positive mental health around racism.
