But when a female airman alters his flight path, will he change his trajectory? Airman Toni Solis dreamed of soaring high in a military career. Unfortunately, an accident while on mission derails her plans and sends her crashing back to earth. With nowhere to go and no reliable family to turn to, help comes from the most unexpected place—the hotshot pilot responsible for ending her career. Topher Matthews was piloting the craft that crashed with Solis on it. His first instinct was to scoop the injured female soldier into his arms. Months later, he's still having trouble letting thoughts of Airman Solis go. Bringing her to his family ranch to get better will be best for all involved. But staying by her side and helping her heal is not a part of his plan. Especially when any woman who gets attached to him always winds up hurt and hating him. Toni is determined to harden her heart against the Air Force’s most notorious player, but when her rehab proves tricky it’s Topher who is continually at her side. The more Toni pushes him away, the closer Topher wants to get, until neither can deny their feelings. Yet the moment he finally gets past her defenses, news arrives that just might send this high-flying couple nose-diving back to loneliness with orders that could deploy their hearts away from one another. Find out in His Vow to Trust, the fourth in a series of heartwarming stories that prove that falling in love is an act of heroism, but finding family is life's most extraordinary achievement.

Download or read book Beyond the Vows written by Trina Montreuil Brown and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-02-09 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when you finally marry the man you fell head over heels with and soon discover that he has been unfaithful not once, but twice and still striving to overcome! After experiencing such devastation, you are soon bombarded with questions like, Is my fairy-tale wedding over? Did I not hear the voice of God clearly? Did I use this method of marriage as a defense to comfort my fears and doubts, or did I marry the wrong man? For surely, the man whom I love and who loves me will never bring harm to me. Every marriage is unique and designed with a specific purpose and plan. Despite religion, race, or creed, marriages can sometimes be uncertain. Where there are couples that enter into this union strictly for love, others may come together under different circumstances. And when you are genuinely in love, despite any offense, you cannot just turn the switch on and off because love is everlasting. With this element, both individuals can conquer the world, even the sin of adultery! With the brutal pains and agony of adultery, everyone has a breaking point! Oh, how I wished I could have turned back the hands of time. Had I known how destructive this spirit was, I could have planned and prepared for it, but one can never predict life to be sweet without the bitterness of war. But it wasnt until I married my husband that I found that he was not my enemy, and this spirit was indeed an intruder. Did I run and hide? No! I pulled up my sleeves like an old-fashioned woman would and joined him in this battle. From start to finish, we have invested in this marriage and built this relationship on a sacred foundation. Why would I just hand my marriage over? The modern womans evolution is to pack her belongings and dont look back. She is strong and independent, but I am that kind of woman who has embraced the stamina to stay and who is willing to go beyond the vows.

Download or read book A Culture of Second Chances written by David M. Newman and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-12-12 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the iconic presence of second chances in everyday life. David Newman explores its various iterations in popular culture, commercial marketplaces, religion, intimate relationships, education, criminal justice, and human bodies. He analyzes how this concept—as a cultural aspiration, driver of policy, and lived personal experience—has become part and parcel of our individual sense of self and our collective national identity. While the rhetoric of redemption is familiar and ubiquitous, Newman uncovers the costs and constraints of second chances, paying particular attention to the factors that affect judgments of deservedness. Informed by an array of data sources including personal interviews, mission statements of nonprofit recovery agencies, images in popular culture, stories from the news, plot summaries of novels, and scriptural texts, Newman frames the second chance experience as the quintessential cultural paradox: a concept that simultaneously represents the pinnacle of our shared hopes for renewal and our deepest suspicions about the intransigence of human nature.

Download or read book Moving Past Marriage written by Jaclyn Geller and published by Cleis Press. This book was released on 2023-05-09 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A must-read for anyone who has felt they are at a disadvantage simply because they are single or unmarried. Married Americans enjoy over 1,000 benefits and entitlements that are withheld from our non-marital counterparts. Health insurance, immigration rights, tax privileges (such as the estate tax), and hiring policies favor the married. Marriage is subsidized and incentivized by the federal government. Social customs such as blockbuster weddings, subsidized honeymoons, and gifts reserved for wedded couples reify matrimony as a centering norm and further the idea that "marriage is best," a commonplace in popular psychology, where marriage-averse people are often tarred as "commitment-phobes." Despite this blatant and widespread prejudice, non-marital Americans—non-marital people—have not galvanized as a group to demand equality and inclusion. Why? Moving Past Marriage argues that it is because of our troubled relationship to history. As women's history once was, non-marital history has been buried, so that the disenfranchisement that non-marital people share in wedlock-dominated societies, as well as our remarkable, far-ranging achievements, have been hard to spot. In recovering our own history, non-marital people can become self-aware as a group and begin to challenge marriage-centric thinking and practice.

Download or read book Legal Flexibility and the Mission of the Church written by Will Adam and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legal scholars and authorities generally agree that the law should be obeyed and should apply equally to all those subject to it, without favour or discrimination. Yet it is possible to see that in any legal system there will be situations when strict application of the law will produce undesirable results, such as injustice or other consequences not intended by the law as framed. In such circumstances the law may be changed but there may be broad policy reasons not to do so. The allied concepts of dispensation and economy grew up in the western and eastern traditions of the Christian church as mechanisms whereby an individual or a class of people could, by authority, be excused from obligations under a particular law in particular circumstances without that law being changed. This book uncovers and explores this neglected area of church life and law. Will Adam argues that dispensing power and authority exist in various guises in the systems of different churches. Codified and understood in Roman Catholic and Orthodox canon law, this arouses suspicion in the Church of England and in English law in general. The book demonstrates that legal flexibility can be found in English law and is integral to the law of the Church, to enable the Church today better to fulfil its mission in the world.

Is your favorite poem appropriate for the setting you are in, or should you just memorize a couple of lines? Are you stuck on what to say after "I knew you were the one the moment we met?" Are your favorite Led Zeppelin song lyrics an appropriate expression of how you feel about your fiance? Should you share your vows at the rehearsal?

This is the fourth volume in a series of six dedicated to breaking the epidemic [wounds + unawareness] cycle that promotes America ́s tragic divorce divorce epidemic. The prior volume, Stepfamily Courtship (Xlibris.com, 2002), outlines seven Projects to help courting couples make wise commitment decisions. This book for stepfamily coparents and supporters adds five more projects based on the prior seven ones. If couples didn't do the prior projects (which is common), they can start the first six any time. A sobering reality: if either partner made any unwise courtship choices, it's unlikely that doing these other 11 Projects will guard them and their dependents from the five hazards that promote psychological or legal re/divorce. Nonetheless, working at the the projects will give minor kids their best chance at avoiding inherited psychological wounds, and passing them on to their descendents like their unaware ancestors did. The five post-re/wedding co-parenting projects are: 8) Nourish your re/marriage and steadily keep it your second priority, after personal integrity and wholistic health - except in emrgencies.
