Although David's rise to power was a turbulent one, he is historically celebrated as Israel's greatest King. Why? Under prophetic unction, Samuel was first to describe David as a man after God's own heart. Secret Heart of a Worshiper is an in depth look at David's journey from pasture to palace in a way you've never experienced before; from David's perspective. This nine week daily devotional gives insight as to what David might have been thinking and feeling when he wrote some of the worlds most beloved and inspiring Psalms.

There are secrets found in the heart of God; traits and promises only discovered by those willing to approach God on His terms, and in His time. Likewise, we have an adversary with his own set of secret weapons planted like landmines to destroy us. The choice is yours: One secret is to be discovered and one is to be avoided. Which will you choose?

Life was going as planned for Nina Carson, an ambitious junior in college attending Florida State. Her childhood goals were on track, well thought out, and being executed flawlessly until one terrible night during spring break in Miami. Nina's journey takes a drastic turn as her life begins spinning out of control. Consequently, the night of her tragedy falls one day after the shooting at Columbine High School. Little does she know how her life will be forever changed and strangely paralleled to the horrific event. After visiting Columbine's campus, Nina leaves the beaches of Florida and ends up on the streets of New York City for an entirely different and more meaningful reason. Ultimately, the journey becomes a mystical adventure, leading her to a place she only dreamed possible: the Future Kingdom, where Everlove awaits.

At age six, Dave was alone swinging in his backyard and heard a heavenly voice, "SNOW SOMETIMES FALLS!" It takes over thirty years, along with several calamities to discover what God was telling him that day. Dave learns, even through the tragic death of his mother, the thirty-year revelation was well worth the wait.

The focus of this research project was to design and build a steady state apparatus that could accurately measure the thermal conductivity of different materials. By modeling the experimental design with ASTM standards and taking care to reduce heat loss terms, a design was built that was able to accurately measure two reference materials (Pyrex and Stainless) to within 1% of their reference values. After verifying the experimental design, the thermal conductivity of the CNT RET polymer was determined and compared with 3-[omega] results. Both data sets from different thermal conductivity methods yield an increase in thermal conductivity with an increase in volume percent CNT. The results from 3-[omega] depicted a evident percolation of thermal conductivity as a function of volume percent as compared to a linear relationship from steady state results. These differences in the thermal conductivity could have been caused by differences in testing samples, such as CNT orientation. Variations in the locations of functional groups within the CNT and location of the CNT attachment to the RET polymer chain can vary significantly from sample to sample. As a result, the varying interfaces between CNT to CNT and CNT to polymer matrix can result in significant thermal interface resistances. Future work may include research into vertically aligned CNT thermal interface materials, specifically their interface characterization. A need for accurate steady state thermal conductivity measurements and a understanding of CNT polymer composites and CNT interfaces are crucial in developing future thermal interface materials (TIMs).
