“Restoring the Restoration”

Well-meaning (and perhaps some not so well-meaning) men have been trying to reform the church since the Apostles left this life. I know that many women were involved, but men’s cultural bias against women has left a void for many years, in all church movements, through the mistreatment of women in the church. There have been sects within the Catholic church that tried to restore the early church and eschewed the growing dominance of added Papal doctrines. The most aggressive attempts at reform of the Catholic church and restoration of the early church began almost the second Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the church door. Sadly, the numerous divisions between the Catholics and Protestants are not easy to keep up.

I read "The Last Concert" in a cozy café. It's a book about a violin player, and the story took me to a concert where they played for the last time. The book is beautifully written and tells the story of a musician who loved the violin.

A Cosmic Odyssey - The NU Trilogy Begins

In the infinite expanse of the universe, on the precipice of the Milky Way, humanity embarked on a journey of boundless ambition. The dawn of interstellar colonization was heralded by the construction of the Voyager III, within the newly established HG Rickover Shipyard, nestled in the asteroid belt.

The accident left him bereft of both legs, amputated above the knees, shattering his eligibility to captain that pioneering mission.

In the shadow of despair, a glimmer of hope emerged - advanced prosthetic legs, a technological marvel of the future, offered a chance for redemption. It was with these mechanical limbs that Sted Richardson would embark on an unexpected journey, one that would catapult him into a new and uncharted destiny.

As the captain of a state-of-the-art mining assay ship, Sted found himself thrust into the forefront of a cosmic battle, a battle for the very survival of humanity itself. The stage was set, the characters aligned, and the destiny of Earth intertwined with forces that transcended space and time.

"Nu Book 1: A Cosmic Odyssey - The NU Trilogy Begins" is a mesmerizing entry into a riveting narrative that explores the audacious spirit of human exploration and the unforeseen encounters with powers and races that have traversed galaxies, setting the stage for an epic trilogy that will unravel the mysteries of the universe itself.

THE U.S.S. ENVIRONMENT: Remnant of Humanity's Hope

In the year 2061, President Andrea Larsen, freshly inaugurated, is confronted with a chilling revelation - a recently discovered asteroid hurtling toward Earth, destined to strike in December 2068, bringing the looming threat of mass extinction. Amidst this apocalyptic shadow, President Larsen's maternal instincts kick in, igniting a daring quest to ensure the survival of her very young adopted son, Hayden. Her resolve triggers a complex political endeavor, one that sets the wheels in motion for the grandest of undertakings: the construction of a spaceship, the U.S.S. Environment, designed to carry Hayden and a select crew of diverse, promising young individuals on a journey to a distant, habitable exoplanet, a staggering 4.2 trillion light-years away.

But with the fate of humanity hanging in the balance, questions loom large. Who will earn their place on this vessel of salvation? How will the selection process unfold, and can a ship of such monumental scale and complexity be constructed in the midst of the turbulence and upheaval that defines the tumultuous era of the 2060s?

A brutal truth underscores this grand endeavor - Earth stands as the solitary haven in our solar system, blessed with the life-sustaining essentials of water and oxygen. It is this scarcity that compels President Larsen to cast her sights on the Alpha Centauri system, a destination that lies 50 years away by even the most advanced propulsion system of the 2060s. But the challenges extend beyond distance; they encompass the essentials for survival.

The crew must contend with the riddles of longevity: 50 years of oxygen, food, water, and electricity. This narrative unravels the ingenious solutions to these perplexing questions. It illuminates the means by which an audacious endeavor such as settling an exoplanet becomes more than just a dream; it is transformed into a tangible, awe-inspiring reality.

"THE U.S.S. ENVIRONMENT: Remnant" isn't just a speculative tale of survival; it's an exploration of human ingenuity, resilience, and the unwavering spirit of hope that burns brightly, even in the darkest corners of the cosmos.
