Butterflies

Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
What do you do when the pieces are scattered? How do you find yourself when everything you thought you knew about yourself seems lost? Who do you turn to when the reflection in the mirror is someone you no longer know? When do you decide that its time to transform, not only your life but also everything in it? The stages we go through in life, the encounters we have, and the moments that turn our lives in multiple directions are the very things we need to transform. Every butterfly is born a caterpillar. To some, that caterpillar is ugly and unattractive, its true purpose only very few of us know. Many of us just see the beautiful ending in the butterfly. But what does it take to get there? The place in life we are in now is most important, it's where we evolve, change, and transform. People will often times say you have changed and you are not the same. Well, as you grow in God and transform, you shouldn't be the same. There should be something different in your walk, your talk, the way you live, and the way you think. As each person positively transforms into God's desired masterpiece, we should be in awe of amazement and joy of not only what God has done but that you were privileged to journey with them. Now, let me journey with you as you begin, start over, or pick up where you left off in transforming. Remember don't despise any stage you are in when transforming; even the caterpillar has a lot to offer. As a matter of fact, caterpillars have quite a few amazing facts three of which stick out to me: (1) the caterpillars only job is to eat; (2) caterpillars maintain their legs, even after transforming into butterflies; and (3) caterpillars have to be creative in defending themselves. As growing women transforming into the image that God has created us to be, our main job should be to eat. We should be consuming God's love, His word, and everything God has for us to receive. Like the caterpillar, there are some things that God has planted in each of us that we will not be without at the end of blossoming into the beauty we were made to be. In life, we are going to go through an abundance of experiences; to top it off, the devil spends a lot of time scheming and planning attacks against us. Finding the tools that help us move gracefully in life is often hard. The Bible is always the best guide to dodging every bullet, but without studying the word of God, you never learn to use it to its full capacity. Are you ready to finally to get your wings? We are all becoming, so just BECOME!

I Always Wanted to Fly
Author: Wolfgang W. E. Samuel
Publisher: Univ. Press of Mississippi
ISBN: 1604731354
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
Until now, no book has covered all of Cold War air combat in the words of the men who waged it. In I Always Wanted to Fly, retired United States Air Force Colonel Wolfgang W. E. Samuel has gathered first-person memories from heroes of the cockpits and airstrips. Battling in dogfights when jets were novelties, saving lives in grueling airlifts, or flying dangerous reconnaissance missions deep into Soviet and Chinese airspace, these flyers waged America's longest and most secretively conducted air war. Many of the pilots Samuel interviewed invoke the same sentiment when asked why they risked their lives in the air—“I always wanted to fly.” While young, they were inspired by barnstormers, by World War I fighter legends, by the legendary Charles Lindbergh, and often just by seeing airplanes flying overhead. With the advent of World War II, many of these dreamers found themselves in cockpits soon after high school. Of those who survived World War II, many chose to continue following their dream, flying the Berlin Airlift, stopping the North Korean army during the “forgotten war” in Korea, and fighting in the Vietnam War. Told in personal narratives and reminiscences, I Always Wanted to Fly renders views from pilots' seats and flight decks during every air combat flashpoint from 1945–1968. Drawn from long exposure to the immense stress of warfare, the stories these warriors share are both heroic and historic. The author, a veteran of many secret reconnaissance missions, evokes individuals and scenes with authority and grace. He provides clear, concise historical context for each airman's memories. In I Always Wanted to Fly he has produced both a thrilling and inspirational acknowledgment of personal heroism and a valuable addition to our documentation of the Cold War.

Languages : en
Pages : 380
Book Description
From Topgun to Squadron Command You’re in the cockpit of the legendary F-14 Tomcat fighter, blazing along at twice the speed of sound seven miles above the ocean and the carrier that hurled you off its deck. You’re practicing dogfighting with “aggressors,” guys on your side flying F-16s. You’re patrolling the tense skies above Iraq, and with the push of a button you can launch the 100-mile Phoenix missile that can blow a foe to scrap before you even see him. You are an expert in fighter tactics and aircraft carrier operations, and it all leads to your command of an F-14 fighter squadron of more than three hundred people. Sounds like a week’s worth of daydreams, but it’s all real-life in the career of Dave “Bio” Baranek, and he shares it with you in the exciting, superbly crafted new book, Tomcat Rio. Dave – callsign “Bio” – pulled his readers into the exciting world of the F-14 and the Navy’s TOPGUN program with his popular books Topgun Days and Before Topgun Days. Now he’s back with the rest of the story, as he reaches the top level of expertise and proves it, not just in graded competitions but also where it counts, where you shoot at them and they shoot at you. Dave also shares the challenges he faced. A deadly foe called complacency. Learning a whole new mission late in his career. The unexpected trials that come with leading a squadron in the dynamic environment of Naval Aviation. This third volume is full of adventures, lessons, and inspiration. If you are a casual reader, you’ll turn the last page as a dedicated Tomcat fan. To make it all even more real, Tomcat Rio includes dozens of Bio’s best and most acclaimed photos. Photographer George Hall hailed one shot as “one of the best Tomcat photos ever taken.” In words and pictures, Bio immerses you in rich detail. He pipes you aboard as a member of an F-14 squadron. You share the camaraderie of Type A personalities. You plan risky missions, going toe-to-toe against America’s most volatile foes. You can almost smell the pungent jet exhaust, almost feel the gut-wrenching G’s of a dogfight, as Tomcat Rio pitches you into the thick of it as only Bio can tell it. Strap in! You’re going for one fantastic ride.
