Imagination is the ability to form a mental image of something that is not perceived through the five senses. It is the ability of the mind to build mental scenes, objects or events that do not exist, are not present, or have happened in the past.Everyone possesses an imagination ability. The imagination manifests in various degrees in various people. In some, it is highly developed, and in others, it manifests in a weaker form. God uses our imagination to manifest His will on earth and Satan use our imagination against us to limit or rob us of God's plan for our lives. with Imagination makes it possible to experience a whole world inside the mind. It gives the ability to look at any situation from a different point of view, God's the higher or Satan's the lower.

For centuries the Galactic Confederation has maintained an unsteady peace amongst its member races. The organization named Heaven's Light took it upon itself to resolve ongoing conflicts and liberate those suffering from tyranny. In doing so, the Confederation has gained not only peace and prosperity it has never known, but also unity. But in the dark reaches of our galaxy the Greys have been waiting for over sixteen hundred years for this day. In a moment worlds are shattered and hopes are destroyed as the planet killers of the Greys march to war. Brian Peterson, the captain of a ship named the Freedom, is the lone human standing with the forces of Heaven's Light and the Confederation. Fourteen years have passed since the Greys stole him from Earth, and now he and his allies must stop the advance of the machine god's forces. The stage is set, the actors have been assembled, and so the Grey War begins...

Five years have passed since Brian was first abducted. The Avoni and a number of other ships have been sent to the edge of Confederation territory to investigate whether the Greys are encroaching upon their border. During a battle a freak accident leaves the Avoni stranded deep within Grey territory. Will Brian be able to take command and lead the lone ship through the dark sea of space?

Six months have passed since the Kalaidian people were freed. Although prosperity was brought to one world another teeters on the edge of war. The merchant capital of the galaxy, Dega Jul, now sits dangerously as two factions battle for control. Meanwhile, Brian suffers the scars of Delne while fighting for the Avoni.

As Heaven's Light begins their liberations Brian takes his place as the captain of the Freedom. At the same time, the Maidens each struggle with their newfound power and abilities. In the distance, the ruler of the Malcovin people, King Zaris, plots the destruction of the upstart organization using the four navies of his world. Brian and his allies move forward knowing it will end with a war with powerful Malcovin military. Will Zaris's forces end the dream of Heaven's Light? Or will the bell of liberty ring once more?

Poetry can be dark, it can be reflective, and it can be playful. Dreams & Reflections is a journey through all of these things and a little more. But everything starts with the short story at the beginning, "Chains."

Harold Case is a middle aged gentleman without charm, without family, without stamina, and above all, without imagination. A man to whom adventure would not normally come. But it does come to Harold Case, for he is the ideal man for a rather particular job. He is sent to rescue someone who is lost in his own model railway. The task proves trickier, and more time consuming than anticipated. Whatever Harold Case may achieve, he comes out of the situation a completely different person.

The United States of America has overcome every obstacle that has crossed her path over the course of history. Each moment of grave uncertainty was meant for this nation's downfall; there were times when this seemed to be our ultimate. To the contrary, the people of this nation have never failed to reach deep within our collective spirit, defy every immense odd and every cynic, and proclaim ourselves the masters of our own destiny. For two-hundred, forty-seven years, our relentless ability to rise above and beyond every adversity and pass on a more prosperous society onto each subsequent generation has served as our moral compass. The crisis we face today is like no other, and our nation remains in desperate need of that moral compass. The radical right-wing movement ignited by Donald Trump and his allies in 2016 is on the warpath to redefine all that defines America's greatness and has pledged to destroy all those of whom they perceive to be a threat to their quest for power. Furthermore, because of this toxic political agenda, dangerous elements of bigotry, intolerance, and hate are becoming normalized once more and encouraged by the enactment of unjust laws followed by hate-based rhetoric from leaders in high positions of leadership. Whether it be Donald Trump himself, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Ron DeSantis, Greg Abbott, or Lauren Boebert, their quest is consistent across the board: fascist authoritarianism and the forced relinquishing of human rights under the law. MAGA is the most dangerous and un-American political movement in the history of our country since the Ku Klux Klan. If we allow this savagely brand of extremism to continue to grow on steroids, entertaining the quest for authoritarian governance and chipping away at Americans' human rights more and more, this nation may slip into a warlike conflict that will not only destroy the lives of countless citizens but alter the course of history forever. We cannot allow this to happen.

The primary objective behind this book is to inspire an era of hope and confidence for the next generation of Americans. All of us know very well of the critical challenges that stand gallantly before us. The challenges before us stand to put every aspect of our children's lives at risk. All while the American people are enduring great difficulty, our elected officials continue to take us down the very dangerous path we have been on for too long now. This has left us more hopeless and uncertain than ever about the possibilities of a greater tomorrow. America is and always will be the greatest and most exceptional society ever known to the face of civilization. We need a solid return to constitutional, common sense principles not only in Washington but all throughout the United States. Each and every wrong that exists in our nation can be reversed. Every negative in this great country can be made positive. All that is broken can be fixed. Our future can be made more strong and secure than ever before. The vision of how we can move our country forward and extend to our children a prosperous nation is laid out in this very book.

Circa 63 AD, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia Minor, and Bithynia, were Christian converts experiencing undefined degrees of suffering and persecution. At some point, the Apostle Peter, who was most likely residing in Rome at the time, had received news of what these Christians were enduring and was compelled to write to them, advising them to remember the grace and peace that is found in Jesus Christ and why they had converted to Christianity in the first place. What Peter shared with the First Century Christians, in what is now modern day Turkey, would encapsulate everything he had learned since the moment Jesus commanded him to "Follow Me" and the thirty years that followed. Christ followers today, 21st Century men, are blessed to have the opportunity to mentally consume and heartfully digest the faith and grace teachings of Peter to this very day. Peter would remind suffering Christians, the exiled elect of God, that there is a Living Hope even in the midst of their suffering. Though Peter wrote it almost 2000 years ago, his letter parallels events today, which includes the life of the 21st Century Christian man. Martin Luther referred to Peter's letter as the most outstanding book of the New Testament, the true Doctrine of Faith. In this Biblical Commentary, Marcus tackles a detailed study of the First Epistle of Peter, breaking it down verse by verse and shares how, without violating the integrity of Peter's letter, HOPE is available for the 21st Century Man, who is living in two Kingdoms.

What does it mean to live well? What are the consequences of believing that the world is a bad place? What is virtue? How can we embrace life and living? These are the sorts of questions addressed in Alapaha Paganism. No final, universal, or ultimate answers are prescribed. Instead, a unique perspective, growing in Alapaha, is shared. It suggests this life is good, this world is good, and neither are in need of salvation or redemption.
