  "Dual Calling: Pulpit and Politics" by Shirley H. Clark powerfully attests to conviction, persistence, and divine intent. From subjective struggles to unpredictable callings, this book indicates how God's hand guides even the most problematic courses. The journey commences with unyielding faith through betrayal and difficulty, underscoring how prayer and trust in God's plan provide strength. The book draws conceptions keenly from scripture to illustrate how faith, like a mustard seed, can develop into a life of purpose. As an educator, Clark shares experiences working with children with special needs, exhibiting how patience, prayer, and trust in God shape a calling to serve. The narrative then evolves into an exceptional metamorphosis—answering both a ministerial and political calling and ascertaining that faith can surpass conventional peripheries. This account analyzes leadership, obedience, and the consonance between faith and governance from the pulpit to the county council. Through every ordeal and accomplishment, it highlights how God's plan flares unexpectedly, reminiscing to embrace purpose with courage and belief.

  Laura stared at the black cloud blotting out the sun. The cloud was unlike anything she had ever seen. As it got closer, it made a strange noise, like hail pelting the ground. Suddenly the sky began to rain grasshoppers. The bugs clung to Laura's hair and clothes and peered at her with bulging eyes. Soon they began destroying Papa's crops. From the big woods of Wisconsin to the Indian country of the Great Plains, new adventures and landscapes filled the rich childhood of Laura Ingalls Wilder. On a frontier steeped in both danger and great possibility, Laura would grow up to witness firsthand the rapid transformation of the West as pioneers and covered wagons gave way to farms, towns, and railroads. A pioneer, teacher, farmer's wife, and storyteller, Laura Ingalls Wilder experienced one of the most exciting times in American history -- history that this gifted writer brought to life for millions and preserved for generations to come.

  Kalidasa’s Meghadhuta - With a...

  The Meghadhuta also known as Meghasandesam is one of the beautiful works of Kalidasa. It is a poem in Sanskrit Language consisting of 117 verses. It is actually one of a few minor compositions of Kalidasa. Being one of the greatest poets of Sanskrit Literature, he has produced epics like the Raghuvamsa Mahakavya and Kumarasambhavam and dramas like Abigyana Sakuntalam. 
  The ideas contained in this poem is simple but romantic. Alaka is a mountain in the Himalayas. The god of wealth, Kubera is the king of this place. He has a group of divine attendants working for him. These attendants are known as Yakshas. One of these Yakshas was very much smitten and obsessed with his wife. Hence, he ignored his duties. Kubera, therefore, cursed him and banished him into the woods on planet Earth. The Yaksha came to a mountainous place called Ramagiri named after Lord Rama near the present state of Chattisgarh in India and was residing in an ashram there. 
  The Yaksha spent several months on the mountain. Thoroughly dejected, the love-lorn Yaksha keeps thinking about his wife. His wife also keeps thinking about him all day and all night. It is the time of monsoon. The Yaksha sees a rain cloud passing by. He requests the cloud to carry a message to his wife. The Yaksha then starts to describe the route that the cloud should take to meet his lover. This forms the crux of the verses of this poem. 
  The works of Kalidasa are synonymous with the beauty of nature, lyrical poetry, dramatic stories, great heroes and sensuous heroines. The Meghadhuta focusses mainly on sensual love and the beauty of nature. Kalidasa’s genius lies in making these two subjects flow into each other in this work. For example, Kalidasa picturises the rivers as sensuous women, and he advises his friend namely the cloud to take interest in the rivers along the way on his journey from the plains to Alaka.

  Curiosity is a dangerous thing. I peered into the darkness. It crept into my brain. 
  I broke my promise. The village elder told me to stay away, but I didn’t listen. 
  I ended up trapped in an underground chamber with a crystal skull. It called out in the shadows, begging me to caress its smooth, cold surface. 
  That was the beginning of my transformation. 
  The demon filled me with a dark addiction. He feeds on my lust and uses me as a puppet. Here in the jungle, we’ll build a utopia. 
  A world where the strong rule the weak.
