    One dark and stormy winter night, outside his remote New England farmhouse, Hal Borland heard howling. At the door were a half-starved black-and-white mutt and his puppy companion. While reluctant to welcome these uninvited guests into their home, Hal and his wife gave them refuge, finally naming them Pat and Mike. When a local boy lost his dog, and the Borland's gave Mike to him, Pat's strong personality blossomed, and he becomes a treasured companion and member of the family. 
     
     
     
    Accompanying Hal on hunts (and himself proving a formidable threat to local wildlife), Pat is the ideal touchstone for insights into the natural world. The Borlands learn valuable lessons from Pat—trust, relationships, and harmony with nature—the same values that led their move from city to country. Through this process, they develop a deeper appreciation for the place they call home. The Dog Who Came to Stay is a first-rate memoir detailing the immeasurable bond between humans and their beloved companions. With touching insight and wry humor free from sentimentality, it's a compelling tale for all ages!

    Egyptian Mythology - The Gods...

    Egyptian mythology is one of the most fascinating and enduring belief systems in human history. Rooted in the ancient civilization along the Nile, these myths shaped the religious, social, and political landscape of Egypt for thousands of years. Unlike many other mythologies, Egyptian beliefs were not static; they evolved over time, incorporating new deities, merging legends, and adapting to the needs of the people. The gods and stories of Egypt were deeply intertwined with daily life, influencing everything from temple rituals to the rule of pharaohs. Understanding Egyptian mythology provides insight into the values, fears, and aspirations of one of history’s most influential civilizations.  
      
    The origins of Egyptian mythology date back to the early dynastic period and possibly even before. Ancient Egyptians believed that the universe emerged from a vast, chaotic primordial ocean called Nun. From this cosmic void, the first gods appeared, bringing order to existence. Myths about creation, divine rule, and the afterlife were passed down through oral traditions and recorded in hieroglyphic texts found on temple walls, coffins, and papyrus scrolls. These stories explained natural phenomena, justified the authority of the pharaohs, and provided a spiritual roadmap for the journey beyond death.  
      
    Mythology played a central role in ancient Egyptian life, influencing art, architecture, and governance. Temples were constructed as homes for the gods, and elaborate religious festivals reenacted mythological events to ensure cosmic balance. The pharaoh, considered the living embodiment of Horus and the son of Ra, was both a political and religious leader, serving as the bridge between the gods and the people. Myths were not merely symbolic; they were an active force shaping society’s structure and rituals.
