Synopsis

In "Pascal's Pensées," Blaise Pascal offers a profound exploration of faith, reason, and the human condition, encapsulated in a series of reflections that blend philosophical discourse with theological inquiry. Written in the 17th century, this work stands out for its fragmented structure and epistolary style, evoking the essence of a meditative journal rather than a systematic treatise. Pascal's style is notable for its use of aphorisms and paradoxes, challenging readers to confront the complexities of belief and the limitations of human rationality in the face of divine mystery. Blaise Pascal was not only a mathematician and scientist but also a deeply contemplative religious thinker. His experiences with personal crises of faith and his involvement in the Jansenist movement significantly influenced his reflections in the "Pensées," as he grappled with the interplay between intellect and spirituality. The work remains a testament to his struggle between skepticism and belief, illuminated by his famous assertion of the heart's reason. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in existential philosophy, theology, and the human experience of doubt and belief. Pascal's insights remain remarkably relevant, inviting readers to engage with the timeless questions of existence and the search for truth.

In the early hours of March 22, 1989, two friends—career criminals with violent felony convictions—drove around the eastern Kansas City area in a stolen car committing a series of crimes.

A little before 7 a.m., fifteen-year-old Ann Harrison walked to the end of her driveway on Kansas City’s east side to wait for the bus to take her to Raytown South High School. Ten minutes later, she disappeared but no one saw what happened. As if waiting for her return, her belongings were still stacked carefully by the side of the road.By the Side of the Road is the true crime story of the kidnapping, rape, and murder of Ann Harrison and the long journey forced upon her family who had to wait nearly three decades to see her killers brought to final justice.

    The developing brains of our children need to "feel" safe. 
     
     
     
    Children who carry chronic behavioral challenges are often met with reactive and punitive practices that can potentially reactivate the developing stress response systems. 
     
     
     
    This book deeply addresses the need for coregulatory and relational touch point practices, shifting student-focused behavior management protocols to adult regulated brain and body states which are brain aligned, preventive, and relational discipline protocols. This new lens for discipline benefits all students by reaching for sustainable behavioral changes through brain state awareness rather than compliance and obedience.
