I almost thought you were dead or unconscious because your eyes were closed." "Dead? Are you serious?" "What was I supposed to think? You were not responding to me." "I am really sorry about all that." She wrinkled her nose and waved aside his entreaties. "Please keep your apologies to yourself. Where is Andrew?" "Do you mean my boss?" "Your boss?

Are you saying that you can fix cars?" He smiled. "Yes. I am a qualified apprentice working with Mr. Andrew, my boss." She frowned at him.

Now the former Master of the Hunt is thrust into a new role, a new life, with expectations he's never had placed upon him.

And long before he ever made his presence known.

The Need for Zero: The Silent Foundation of Counting by Samson Penkar Price verified 7 hours ago

Join me on an enthralling journey through time as we delve into the captivating history of the number zero-the humble yet revolutionary digit that has shaped the very essence of human civilization. "Zero: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Void" is a spellbinding exploration of how this enigmatic concept came to be, and how it profoundly influenced various aspects of human knowledge and culture. We begin by traveling back to the origins of counting, where our ancestors recognized the pressing need for a symbol to represent nothingness. From ancient Mesopotamia, the cradle of civilization, we witness the birth of zero as a symbol and its significance in laying the groundwork for advanced mathematical thinking. Venturing eastward, we uncover the Indian connection to zero, a pivotal moment in history that provided the world with a numeral system we still use today. As we move further, we encounter the intriguing presence of zero in ancient Greek mathematical pondering, which would later spark debates and breakthroughs during the Islamic Golden Age. Zero's impact on medieval Europe and its crucial role in shaping the realm of algebra are stories waiting to be unveiled. Through the scientific revolution, we witness zero's incorporation into the framework of modern science and its newfound importance in defining mathematical concepts. But zero's influence doesn't end with science; it extends into the realms of art, architecture, and even computing. We discover how zero's symbolism and beauty have inspired creativity across the ages, from intricate architectural designs to the very foundation of modern computers. Zero's involvement in infinity opens up fascinating philosophical discussions, while its enduring presence in popular culture makes it a part of our everyday lives, often in ways we might not even realize. As we contemplate the legacy of zero, we explore its connection to the future-how it continues to shape our understanding of the universe and even the very ...

When the car sailed over the embankment carrying the four members of the pulpit committee, Mildred Budge called out, "Jesus saves." The others heard it, but they were also experiencing their own quick flashes of insight. Liz, a serial widow, felt unsatisfied with her life. She wanted more. Sailing toward her death, she still did. Sam, who had turned the steering wheel that had sent them over the embankment, was looking forward to the crash. He wanted to feel it -- the hard slam of collision. His hands held the wheel tightly, bracing for it. Jake smiled. He resisted holding Mildred's hand, because black men still didn't touch white women in the where he lived. And he took note of the wonder of the experience that was like flying. 'So, this is what it's like -- to fly. To live.' And then the car touched down hard and slammed into a tree. And when they could speak, their conversation was different than it had been moments before. Life was different. What they really wanted was not what they thought. But in order to pursue it, they had to get out of the ravine where they had landed. And they had to work together to get home. This is a story about "Jesus saves" and how that message gets lived out in people who know the gospel and believe it. If you love a Christian story about real people, you'll enjoy this second book in the Mildred Budge series. Daphne Simpkins writes about church life in the South through her Mildred Budge books.
