Alice's Adventures Under Ground

Sinopse

ALICE was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, and where is the use of a book, thought Alice, without pictures or conversations? So she was considering in her own mind, (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid,) whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain was worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when a white rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.

THERE was nothing very remarkable in that, nor did Alice think it so very much out of the way to hear the rabbit say to itself "dear, dear! I shall be too late!" (when she thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural); but when the rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket or a watch to take out of it, and, full of curiosity, she hurried across the field after it, and was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge. In a moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again.

The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly, that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself, before she found herself falling down what seemed a deep well. Either the well was very deep, or she fell very slowly, for she had plenty of time as she went down to look about her, and to wonder what would happen next. First, she tried to look down and make out what she was coming to, but it was too dark to see anything: then, she looked at the sides of the well, and noticed that they were filled with cupboards and book-shelves: here and there were maps and pictures hung on pegs. She took a jar down off one of the shelves as she passed: it was labelled "Orange Marmalade," but to her great disappointment it was empty: she did not like to drop the jar, for fear of killing somebody underneath, so managed to put it into one of the cupboards as she fell past it.

"Well!" thought Alice to herself, "after such a fall as this, I shall think nothing of tumbling down stairs! How brave they'll all think me at home! Why, I wouldn't say anything about it, even if I fell off the top of the house!"
(which was most likely true.)

Adoption - Building a Safe and...

Stacey Wilmore

Adoption is a profound and life-altering experience, one that reshapes the lives of both children and parents. It is a journey that begins with the desire to provide a child with the safety, love, and support they need to grow, while also offering parents the opportunity to nurture and build a family. Adoption is unique because it is not just a legal process, but an emotional and relational journey that involves new beginnings, hopes, and dreams for the future.
For adoptive parents, the decision to adopt can be filled with excitement, but also with uncertainty and challenges. The process itself can be complex, involving a range of legal, emotional, and logistical steps. It requires careful preparation, openness to learning, and a deep understanding of the child’s needs, which may include navigating loss, identity, and the need for belonging. Adoptive parents often face questions about how to best bond with their child, how to create a secure and nurturing environment, and how to build a lasting and trusting relationship.
For the child, adoption is a journey of its own. It involves the experience of joining a new family, which may include adjustments to a new home, new caregivers, and, in some cases, a new culture or environment. Children may struggle with feelings of loss or confusion, and the process of building trust and attachment can take time. However, with the right guidance, care, and patience, adoption can also provide children with a fresh start—an opportunity to experience love, stability, and the sense of belonging that every child deserves.

Jorinda and Jorindel

Brothers Grimm

An evil shape-shifting witch lived alone in a dark castle in the woods. She could lure wild animals and birds to her before killing them for food. She froze to stone any man who would come near to where she stood, and turn innocent maidens into birds and cage them. Jorinda and Jorindel, two lovers engaged to be married, went for a walk in the forest. They came too near to the witch's lair. She turned Jorinda into a nightingale and petrified Jorindel to the ground. Once she had carried away the bird, she freed Jorindel, laughing that he would never see Jorinda again.
One night Jorindel dreamed of a flower and that it would break all the witch's spells. He sought it for nine days, found it, and carried it back to the castle. He was not frozen to the ground when he approached the castle and it opened all the doors. He found the witch feeding the birds. She was unable to curse him. When she tried to take one cage away, he realized it was Jorinde. He touched the witch with the flower and her evil magic left her forever. He touched Jorinda with the flower and she became a woman again. Then he transformed all the other women back.

Runaway - From Broken Hull to...

Alfred Coppel

Runaway by Alfred Coppel - Ripped by an asteroid stray, the space-ship drifted helplessly ... until suddenly, across the shuddering deeps, a strange voice called to her.
I recall that when I was just a boy hanging around the old Mojave space yards, there was an old timer there who used to sing an old song. He learned it from his father and he from his grandfather who used to prospect for gold in the Death Valley country.
Oh, my darling, oh my darling,
Oh, my darling Clementine,
You are lost and gone forever,
Dreadful sorry, Clementine!...
The old timer was really ancient when I knew him, because he could remember the war with the Federal States that used to be called Germany and Japan. There was a strangeness about him, or so it seems to me now. Listening to him sing those pioneer ballads caught at the imagination and woke dreams. Of course, I was young then, and impressionable. But his tales were my gospel. There were some among the yard hands who claimed he was a survivor of the first crew back from Luna, but that was probably loose talk. In those days every yard had its "Selenite man."
It was from him, though, that I heard my first spaceman's yarns. Yarns about the ships that were built when Venus and Mars were the outposts of the system ... the frontier.
He used to tell of the strange ways in which those old ships took on personality ... character, if you like ... in the eyes of the men who crewed them. When he spoke I could almost feel the thrill of those punishing vertical takeoffs, and I could smell the stink of gasoline and feel the icy nimbus of liquid oxygen. I could feel too the throbbing of the first crotchety atomics under my feet and the quivering sense of aliveness it gave....
Somehow, I don't believe the old man was embroidering fantasies for me. I think even then he knew.

The Christmas Story as it will...

Stephen S. Ahokas

Thoroughly researched and thoughtfully written, Dr. Ahokas has provided his readers with a deeper understanding of the meaning and significance of Jesus' birth as "the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" I would encourage you to read "The Christmas Story...Forever Told" during the advent season or any time of the year to gain a greater appreciation for the wonderful gift of God's Son. -Evangelist Danny Ottoson
Steve (Dr. Stephen Ahokas) has put his whole heart into this project. He has relentlessly researched, sought pastoral and critical counsel, and tirelessly created a unique devotional study. He effectively communicates some oft-overlooked details surrounding the birth of Christ that should get you thinking about the circumstances of His birth and drop you to your knees in worship of Him as your personal Savior. Every person who takes a few minutes each day during the advent season to ponder the Christmas Story along with Steve ought to walk away a more equipped believer in the real story of Christmas. -Pastor Paul Klassen
For over two thousand years Christians have been trying to understand and explain the meaning and significance of the birth of Christ without delving into how and what it spoke to the Jewish people (His people) at the time of His birth. Consequently, the full meaning of the birth of Christ and the Christmas season is not commonly understood by the masses. This book clears up the misunderstandings by examining how and what the circumstances of Christ's birth spoke to His people at the time of His birth. In so doing, it reveals the deeper meaning to us all of referring to Jesus as the Lamb of God Who takes away the sin of the world.
