It is the heart of a man, and even many men that can inspire others to look at life more closely, especially in their own relationships. Relationships are what help us grow as people. It is our relationships especially with family and friends that influence us the most. These individuals function as role models of sorts that help to craft our personalities and characteristics that make us unique for the good or the bad. The focus of this book is to focus on the true stories and poems from men of all different ages. Many of the stories discuss stories and poems about relationships that are more spiritual and personal to the heart. There are also some stories here that appeal to the humorous side, hoping to give you a smile and showing the more humorous side to relationships that impact our lives regardless of how small or great in significance. This book will not have romantic stories about romance, but rather more about the inner turning point in each man''s life and what or who helped to change them to move in a more positive direction in life. If you believe that anyone is capable of change and that sometimes just a little inspiration from someone or something can make a world of a difference than you will enjoy the stories and poems presented in this book.

''There is another loneliness'', wrote the American poet Emily Dickinson: ''Not want of friend occasions it, but nature sometimes, sometimes thought''. For Kevin Lewis, that ''other loneliness'' is uniquely expressive of a rich and resonant state of being that is distinctive to the American psyche as well as central to the mythology of America itself. He calls this state of being ''lonesomeness''. It evokes the luminous landscapes of the West and the cathedral-like space of the Great Plains. It lies at the root of personal identity and is inseparable from notions of personal discovery and of communion with the varied topography of the United States, whether it be rural hinterland or industrial urban rustbelt.In this continuously stimulating reflection, Kevin Lewis explores - in religion, poetry, fiction, country songwriting and art - the multiple meanings of that peculiarly American notion of solitariness. Discussing quintessential American writers like Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman, Jack Kerouac and Ernest Hemingway - creative artists who have all embraced positive conceptions of solitude and wilderness - Lewis finds the apex of American lonesomeness in the melancholic and reflective paintings of Edward Hopper. Lewis argues that in expressive works like "Nighthawks" and "Morning Sun" one sees Hopper''s solitude redeemed by ''something more'': by the notion that in isolation the individual may yet be touched by transcendence. Kevin Lewis argues that those echoes of ''something else'' reveal a great deal about the American character that we would do well to heed, as well as deep rooted cultural attitudes towards religion, individualism and self-belief.

KJ decides one spring day he will run for Vice President of his 5th grade class. This will be an adventure he would remember for the rest of his life.

Salt water is produced from the Ferron Sandstone Member of the Mancos Shale in central Utah as part of the production of coalbed methane (CBM) and is disposed of by injection predominantly into the Navajo Sandstone between 4,500 feet to 7,300 feet and is considered to be a hazardous waste. Local government agencies are concerned about the potential impacts on shallow groundwater because of this disposal method. Water samples were gathered from four shallow water-supply wells, and nine salt water disposal (SWD) wells to compare hydrochemistries as an indicator of potential mixing. Shallow water-supply wells are likely recharged by local precipitation while the source of CO2 is from atmospheric and/or soil CO2 gas and comparatively, are low in total dissolved solids. Carbonate mineral dissolution is the source of CO2 in the SWD wells and is exceptionally high in TDS. The SWD water appears to be old water and displays an evaporative signature. A geologic analysis was conducted for the Drunkards Wash gas field using 479 digital gas well logs. Three subsurface faults were identified with one fault in the north and the other two in the central part of the gas field near the eastern and western flanks. These faults were further confirmed by comparing average monthly gas and water production from the first 24 months in these faulted areas to adjacent control areas. Areas near faults reveal two to six times greater gas production than that of the associated control areas, and water production is greater by nearly an order of magnitude. This difference is likely due to the fracturing associated with the damage zone near the faults allowing for increased flow of gas and water. Due to the high injection pressures the vertical hydraulic gradient has been reversed from downward to upward. However, due to the thick sequences of shale separating the disposal aquifers and the shallow aquifers the estimated time required for the disposal waters to migrate to the surface would be at least 2,000 years. I conclude that the saline waters produced from the Ferron Sandstone are being safely sequestered in deeply buried, extensive and geologically-sealed aquifers.

And lastly, he touches on his plans and hopes for the future - his ambitions to move on from his terrible beginnings and really make something of his life.

"The study examines three high-profile crisis situations and critiques the public relations strategies at the University of Georgia, Oklahoma State University and the University of Alabama."--Abstract.

Preaching is as ancient a profession as the world is old. For countless years, humanity has been inspired of God to speak on His behalf. This, in and of itself is a bold and awe-striking statement and duty. A duty and responsibility that the author, Rev. Dr. Kevin W. H. Lewis, takes most seriously. This book does not attempt to teach the art of preaching. This book only attempts to share these gems of ecclesiastical brilliance as given to this man of God. These sermons are a cross-section in content and style, and will serve as a valuable resource for years to come for all who share them. They are relevant for the times and speak to the needs of people from all walks of life.

From the violent anger he suffered at the hands of his mother and father, to the continuous torments at school; from the way in which he coped with rejection from people he trusted, to suffering from bulimia and a wish to take his own life, Kevin succeeded in making a better life for himself. This is his story ..
