Book Description
This book is somewhat unique. I am not the author although it was written through me . He is the author not me. Why I ended up being the one to be used by Him remains a complete baffling mystery. I am simply His humble steward in this process. Everyone living in America recognizes Home Depot. They are a staple. It is a poem containing 2,500 quatrains that contain life as a part time cashier in a small Home Depot store. It is not always easy reading but it has appeal and value for anyone willing to read it. What are the takeaways? For me the greatest takeaway is humility. The people portrayed in thsi writing are far superior to me. I am not worthy to be the proverbial gum on their shoe. Their trust and friendship provided me is more valuable than gold from Ophir. They live very difficult lives in an extraordinary manner. They never had a level playing filed. they must climb Mt Everest each day. There is humor, pathos and at times Upton Sinclair type muckraking all mixed into the writing. The work shows the good and the bad of life, work and in some ways America today.

Book Description
A novel about hope, redemption, and getting even, not necessarily in that order Just out of prison for attacking the man who assaulted his sister, Ray Dokes heads back to the small Canadian town where he was raised. Vowing to lie low, he moves in with Pete Culpepper, a Texas cowboy who has always been a grounding influence on Ray, but whose debts are growing faster than his corn. Between roofing houses and watching Pete's nine-year-old gelding at the races, Ray soon crosses paths with just about everyone in town, including Pete's new jockey, Chrissie, a tough young woman whose ease with horses is equaled only by her mistrust of people, and Ray's former lover Etta, who views him with more skepticism than ever. Then there are the hired hands of the Stanton Stables: Dean, a wise guy who embodies the phrase "all hat and no cattle," and his sidekick, Paulie, a simple-hearted man who has a way with animals. And last but not least, there's Sonny Stanton, the vicious, violent, and spoiled heir of his father's electronics fortune-and the man Ray spent two years in jail for nearly killing. When the opportunity arises to con Sonny out of some ill-gained wealth-and protect themselves and their homes in the process-everyone's willing to band together and take a gamble. Surprisingly poignant yet laugh-out-loud funny, All Hat tells a classic story of little guys fighting big guys and reaffirming the meaning of honesty and friendship-and second chances-in the process.

Howdy pard'ner! You might think us cowboys to be serious folk, but after a hard day's work there ain't nothin' better than relaxin' by the fire with a sarsaparilla and havin' a good laugh. And believe me when I tell you a cowboy could tell you a million stories that would have you splitting your sides. I took some time to scribble some of them jokes down for y'all, and I hope you enjoy them. Some of 'em are even true! Like the time this young whipper snapper was twirlin' his gun about and flappin' his chin about how tough he was and that if that famous outlaw was right beside him now he would shoot him dead between the eyes. Well, wouldn't you know it, that tough, old outlaw happened to show up, and that little greenhorn dang near peed his pants. If you like that, I got way more fer ya! If 'n there's one thing we cowboys love to talk about and have plenty to say on, it's the critters. We probably spend more time around them beasts than people. Horses especially, and they can impart wisdom to your life. Ya know what? A horse ain't trying to be polite when he comes to a fence and allows you to go over first! And when we ain't got no more stories, the classic one-liner always keeps us laughing. Try these: What's the nearest thing to silver? The Lone Ranger's bum. Why did the cowboy sleep with his saddle on? In case he caught any nightMARES! And my favorite (cause it's true): What's the last thing you hear before a cowboy dies? "Hey y'all! Watch this!"

“When spirits are together, they hold hands. Now and here our spirits do this. I know this to be true. Our spirits are together. This has happened. For always, our spirits they do not let go, until there are no more mornings, no more stars and no more grass that the horses may eat.” Words spoken by Wind in Trees.

Don't Be Afraid, Son. Gunfighter's Graveyard. If you like an Old Western Horror Gunfighter Novel with over 100,000 words. Then this book would be a good find? It came in a four-book series based on four different town scenarios. Different lawmen and evil gunmen will find one another in a gunfight to the death. Each will wake from a coma, dark deep sleep, or be sent back by the devil that made him raise his gun in the first place against good. A graveyard on the hill in town wakes. After a storm hit the town that same night. One grave began to wake with a hand blanketed in mud. One hand, then the other grabbed the wet mud earth or a branch on a tree in the ground. He crawled to his feet in old cowboy muddy boots. A tall, dark man stood in the drizzling rain, and his head tilted back. His stare on the night stars in the skies. The mud, dirt, and decaying tissue fell from his face and hands. One other began to rise from the same graveyard behind him. He stared at the same night sky as if something spoke to him from a place in between heaven and earth. One of them opened his arms. Each palm lifted and opened high in the dark. He opened his mouth to wash death still lingering on his tongue and lips. One other gunfighter crawled to his feet through the drizzling rain. Each gunfighter took a deep breath for the first time since he died huuu. Three men in dark cowboy boots and clothes take that first breath that opens his eyes in a bulge. Three Gunfighters Leave the cemetery behind the first gunfighter that left the wet Earth. The first gunfighter growls in the direction of the Town toward the bottom of the Hill. I will be there soon, Townspeople! As a faint heartbeat begins. His chest began to pulsate with heartbeats slowly. His heartbeat told the other men that their hearts would also be beating. Each footstep's heel on his boot kicked at the ground. One gunfighter behind the other pretends to tiptoe into town as the drizzling rain covers them like a blanket. Each gunfighter covers his head with a hat and long coat to keep the water from splashing against his chest. Each man wore a black hat, a long shin-length coat, and cowboy boots. Beneath, he wore a blue jean shirt and pants. Some are darker than others. The third cowboy with long chocolate brown shoulder-length hair stares forward in a baby blue dead-eyed stare. One behind the other, they vanish in a cloud of drizzling rain. Behind them on the other half of the cemetery. One other had risen through the wet mud earth. He also crawled to his feet in a pair of black cowboy boots. A Shiny Gun, Badge, and a Winchester lay on the wet mud. A man in a Marshall's Badge in Dark Brown Leather lifts it off the wet ground. One other man with a Badge followed the Marshall. One after him also crawled to his feet. They begin to leave the cemetery like the other men before them. They reach the road that leads into town. The rain cleansed Each in a Badge on the way into the town. Each with a hat, Winchester at his side, and a shiny gun. The sound of a Stagecoach made them listen and look. A Stagecoach hidden in the drizzling rain made them stare into the falling rain. The sound of a hyena laughing inside made Law Men Reach for his Rifle. The sound of wicked men rose from a stagecoach as it drew closer. I'm coming to town, Marshall. I'll be waiting, Gunfighter! I will bring a few friends. I will too. Will see which one of us will reach the Gunfighter's Graveyard. I will be waiting like I do every 58 years of lawman! Come out and play Marshall, sheriff, and do not forget to bring your deputies. We will be waiting. Did I shoot the sheriff haha? Of course, I did. It was me? The stagecoach, hidden in the falling rain, roared by as a sound of a hyena laughing left them in awe. It continued to roar toward the town in the falling rain and vanishes.
