Book excerpt: There are many perspectives about life, so I will like to tell my perspective. When we are born we have no clue of who we really are. We don’t know our names, parents, our purpose or do we? We are taught to think otherwise. We are taught by our parents, and others around us what we are. We are taught how to act, talk, and what truth is. We listen to others while ignoring our own voice within. We start to see through the eyes of other people’s perspectives. We are strayed away from our own thoughts and opinions. How do we take something that someone tells us as truth without question? If the truth is subjective how can they be right? Why do people feel the need to judge when we decide to follow your own truth? If we were to continue to follow what people tell us as truth will we miss out on the real purpose of why God put us here? Who is God? Do people really know who God really is? Or are we following someone else’s truth about God? How about we start all over? How about we wipe our minds clean away from other people’s thoughts and pretend that we are newborn’s to the world. Start asking yourself some questions and see what feels like your “Right Answer” to “You.” This is your key to your own happy life besides of what other people will think. Live Your Own Truth! Here is Mine!

Download or read book Blue Juice written by Patricia Morris and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2012-06-08 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offering a candid behind-the-scenes look at small-animal veterinary practices, Blue Juice explores the emotional and ethical conflicts involved in providing a "good death" for companion animals. Patricia Morris presents a nuanced ethnographic account of how veterinarians manage patient care and client relations when their responsibility shifts from saving an animal's life to negotiating a decision to end it. Using her own experiences and observations in veterinary settings as well as the voices of seasoned and novice vets, Morris reveals how veterinarians think about euthanasia and why this "dirty work" often precipitates "burnout," moral quandaries, and even tense or emotional interactions with clients. Closely observing these interactions, Morris illuminates the ways in which euthanasia reflects deep and unresolved tension in human-animal relationships. Blue Juice seeks to understand how practitioners, charged with the difficult task of balancing the interests of animals and their humans, deal with the responsibility of ending their patients' lives.

Download or read book Sugarcoated written by Erin Nicholas and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-24 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hot, funny brother's best friend rom com . . . with sugar on top! She's his best friend's little sister. He's known her all his life. He's practically part of the family. There is nothing either of them could do to surprise the other at this point. Then she showed up in his bedroom in lingerie and asked him to take her V-card. Okay, that was a surprise. Aiden is pretty sure Zoe was equally surprised when he told her no. To say that he didn't handle it well would be a massive understatement. Almost as massive as the amount of work he's going to have to do now to convince her that he wants her. Forever. Right after he tells her that he's bought the company that's her bakery's biggest competitor. Maybe if he tells her he's in love with her first, that will help sugarcoat the whole we're-rivals-in-business-now thing. So, first "I'm in love with you", then "take off your clothes", then "I'm now your business adversary". Sure. Piece of cake.

Download or read book Manhood is a Mindset written by J. Colin Trisler and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-08-12 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A boy doesn’t become a man by accident. The truth is, it takes a special kind of father (or father-figure) to teach his son the practical wisdom he needs to build the mindset of a real man. In his book, Manhood Is a Mindset, pastor and father J. Colin Trisler points his son to the example of Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, and instructs him in the fatherly wisdom Solomon taught his son in Proverbs 1–9. His book is a text-driven exposition that follows Solomon’s lead and reads as a personalized discourse—as a series of letters from a father to his son. Trisler wrote these letters to instruct his son in the wisdom he needs to grow into a man who is prepared to go out into the real world and earn a good life for himself. He published these letters to support all those other fathers who are working just as hard to mold their inexperienced boys into strong and capable men who are prepared to meet their responsibilities to God, their families, their neighbors, and themselves.
