The Battle of Inchcolm Abbey


Book Description

Davis Lane is a freelance theologian who, in a secular age, doesn't get a lot of work. Until, that is, he receives a mysterious invitation to go to Inchcolm with its ruined medieval abbey in Scotland's Firth of Forth. It's there that Alexander Morton, American property tycoon, is hatching plans to build the world's holiest golf course along with a hotel and casino. An enigmatic lady in trilby and tweed commissions Lane to research the island and its abbey in order to advise the parties affected by this extravagant development. The commission dredges up painful memories of a recent encounter with the CIA. The research is intriguing, drawing Lane into a fascinating maelstrom of history and legend. He discovers that the chill waters of the Forth not only host seabirds and seals, but also the coffin of the man who was supposed to be buried within the abbey. The Augustinian canons of the abbey may have been devoted to peace and love, but they turn out to be anything but meek and mild. Despite misgivings, Lane is impressed by the plans of the tycoon and also by his beautiful daughter. The proposed development, however, sparks off angry demonstrations, resulting in a death threat. Set in the Forth estuary and moving between Edinburgh and Fife, The Battle of Inchcolm Abbey is a work of fiction carefully woven around history and legend. The central character of this theological novel attempts to depict authentic faith and ethics in a secular and morally complex world.




United We Stand...


Book Description

Lester Davis grew up and married Genevieve Holmes who later by the grace of the living God found their place in life. They moved from one small town to another small town. Lester Davis became coach in the mid-fifties when the schools in the south were segregated and continued his coaching after integration. He like many others felt the sting of a reluctant spirit that didnt want to change. Nevertheless, he didnt dwell on negative things too much. He pushed forward to victory, after victory with the united community to support his effects. United we stand Divided we fallAll for one and one for all...F.I.G.H.T...fight! was the teams motto of the seventies, eighties, until nineteen ninety. The motto was all so fitting for some of the battles that were faced by the teams. Really and truly they were in a fight; some were simply to let us know we can win no matter how small. And we did, many times. Coach Davis lead his teams from 1956-1990 to many victories, over 783 winnings.

Potpourri


Book Description

What is a word? I mean to that brain of ours, a sound distinctly different from tree branches in motion or those of leaves hanging down uncertain what to do next. We get simple instructions from tree noises except for getting out of the way should one of them collapse. Not much information was gathered after a life of staring up at trees in awe, not even a smile. The reason is obvious. We have to be told what a word is when struck on the ears for the first time, generally intended to identify some object that can bring danger or caring or usefulness. After that identification, its clear sailing. The word grows like the tree does, with additional information tacked on to get you to laugh or cry or shrug or wonder or turn away unconcerned. Unless the word is attached to other words, words lurking about that can be hooked up with ease. Something new will happen. The mind can become busy directing the body to cause something to come about. Something to come about comes in two sizes. The one size we know the best is an action to change what is around our body, directed by needs and wants. It is the second one coming about that has no outward change of body direction but does something special to the mind as to be carried around by that mind for a lifetime, if not longer. It is an amazing sense of ones feelings without motion to the body, rising out of words clustered together in certain ways that words can come together. This miracle of the human animal creates the feelings of a satisfaction never to be known to any other of the animals also fighting for survival. This sensation strikes deeply within oneself and is called by names we all recognize. There is poetry, prose, and plays to mention the few that bring me to a sense of emotion that otherwise would lie forever dormant in the rush through lifes practical requiring needs to keep oneself available for more gathering up of practical needs. My break with that cycle, as life permitted, is what is expressed, as best as I could, in this book as I wandered in and out of one act, plays, poems, and essays, all discoveries I had a chance to taste while the tasting was good.
