Moving to Knollville was a chance to start fresh. Tanner had everything a guy could ask for in his senior year of high school. He had a football in one hand and a pretty girl hanging off the other arm. Being popular and the centre of attention came naturally to him. Taking tests, however, did not and he was desperate to keep that part of his life to himself. When a series of pranks go awry, they'll both be faced with confronting their personal anxieties. Together, they might have a chance to overcome the odds and survive the year. Sometimes Love Stinks is a romantic comedy that deals with issues that are both real and difficult.

Download or read book Communing With Christ written by KAY BALTZELL-RATHBONE and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-01-02 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communing with Christ is a compilation of devotions that were given as communion meditations throughout the year. Each meditation tries to use everyday situations that most of us can relate to, to change our perspective and change our focus toward Christ. On this side of heaven, we will all go through some type of struggle. Life definitely does not always go as we plan. I have learned that God's timing is definitely not my timing. But I know that God is consistent, He is trustworthy, and He is loving. Each of these meditations are meant to remind us that God is the one with a plan, and He is the one in control. My prayer is that these meditations will help switch your mindset to Christ, especially when life seems to be so much of a struggle. I hope these devotions encourage you to get your heart and mind focused on our heavenly Father instead of the day-to-day trials and tribulations. Consider it pure joy, my brothers, and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. (James 1:2-4) 19

Download or read book This Animal Body written by Meredith Walters and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2024-04-16 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frankie Conner, first-year graduate student at UC Berkeley, is finally getting her life together. After multiple failures and several false starts, she’s found her calling: become a neuroscientist, discover the cause of her depression and anxiety, and hopefully find a cure for herself and everyone like her. But her first day of the program, Frankie meets a mysterious group of talking animals who claim to have an urgent message for her. The problem is, they’re not willing to share it. Not yet. Not until she’s ready. While Frankie’s new friends may not have her highly evolved, state-of-the-art, exalted human brain, they do know things she doesn’t—poems, scientific facts, and what happened in the forgotten years before her adoption. Frankie can’t dismiss her conversations with these animals as mere dreams, but she also can’t accept them as real. To prove she’s still sane, she investigates her past and defies the professor who heads her lab to conduct a series of scientific experiments to test just how much animals are capable of communicating. Just when Frankie uncovers the truth, she has to make an impossible choice: betray the animals she’s fallen in love with—or give up her dream of neuroscience, her last chance at success, and everything she thought she knew. This Animal Body is printed on FSC-certified paper from responsibly-managed, environmentally-sound sources.

On a horse farm in California, she’s raising two boys—smart, tough Archie and sweet Theo, who dreams of playing baseball, and doesn’t let the fact that he has only one arm stop him. A perfect PTA mom Melvina is not—her boots are too dirty for that. She’s just taking it one day at a time, with a little help from her boyfriend, her twin sister and her dad. And while her heart is still heavy sometimes with the loss of her beloved brother Henry, who long ago went mysteriously missing, Mel keeps his spirit nearby, making him a larger-than-life hero in his nephews’ imaginations, creating tales of his epic adventures for their bedtime stories. It’s a life that works pretty well—until her estranged husband shows up at their door, wanting to make up for lost time with his sons. A family that plays ball in a graveyard and stays up late to watch rare flowers bloom will never be ordinary. But together, the tempestuous, mismatched Browns stumble through anger and confusion to laughter and understanding, discovering that sometimes love really is the only answer. "A charming family of misfits struggling to make sense of what life's dealt them. Sit back—and be sure to grab a box of tissues—and enjoy."—Jo-Ann Mapson, author of Hank & Chloe and the Bad Girl Creek series "A writer with a poet's eye, a philosopher's mind, and a mother's heart."—Jo-Ann Mapson
