SEASON 8
EPISODE 1
INTRODUCTION TO THE PARABLES OF JESUS CHRIST SERIES
The parables spoken by Jesus were not mere stories, but profound teachings filled with spiritual wisdom and guidance. Jesus, in His infinite wisdom, used everyday situations to impart deeper moral lessons to His audience and followers. His parables remain relevant today, as they were when first spoken, carrying timeless truths that transcend generations.
In this modern era, inspired through my storytelling skills from writing numerous novels, I have contemporize the parables with Season 8. I am embarking on a journey to reinterpret Jesus' teachings for a contemporary audience. The parable of the Great Banquet, found in Luke 14:15-24, has been brought to life with a modern scenario that mirrors its essence today to demonstrate how I will take 21 parables and for my listening audience put a twist on them in the so-called modern day scenario.....
Despite the disappointments and rejections, the man's heart remains open. He extends his invitation to those less privileged, inviting residents from a local homeless shelter who gladly accept the offer.
This modern scenario mirrors the parable's allegorical representation. The Host symbolizes God, the banquet's readiness signifies Jesus' coming to earth, and the two lists of guests represent the Jews and Gentiles. The excuses provided by the friends reflect the various reasons people today may reject God's invitation to accept Jesus as their Savior and Lord.
Despite the initial rejections, the parable highlights God's unwavering love and grace. He does not cancel the banquet but extends the invitation to those who might have been marginalized by society, showing that the Good News of salvation is available to all, regardless of their background or status.
One of the profound theological themes in this parable is evangelism—the call to share the Good News of salvation with others. Just as the second group of invitees were urged to accept the invitation, believers are entrusted with the task of evangelism, inviting all people, "whosoever will," to accept God's invitation for salvation.
May we, inspired by this parable and its modern rendition, embrace the responsibility of sharing the Gospel with love, compassion, and persistence. Let us remember that God's invitation is open to everyone, and through our efforts, may many souls come to know the love and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
As we conclude this thrilling episode, we invite you to embark on an extraordinary journey through all 21 of Jesus' parables reimagined in the context of the year 2023. Get ready to witness these timeless stories come to life in today's world, with modern scenarios that will both captivate and enlighten you.

Delta Dental - Do you have a Network Dentist? Do you trust them to give you the best price according to their contract with your dental provider. Well, they should, but with two separate dentists in Georgetown, Texas, I found this isn't the case. And, it's probably a practice they do to anyone who trusts them to do right with you as a Network Dentist. They have learned how easy it is to jockey with the codes on multiple Pre-authorizations until they get the elevated price they want!Interested in the Optavia 5 & 1 Plan to Lose Weight Write: sidneystjames@yahoo.com A Certified Health Coach!• Self-Publish Your Own Novels at Draft2Digital - https://www.draft2digital.com/sidneystjames• Get More Subscriptions from YouTube – with TubeBuddy - https://www.tubebuddy.com/sidneystjamesshow• Convert Audio Podcast to Video Podcast for YouTube - https://repurpose.io/?aff=48660• Mystery & Suspense Romance, “Belem Towers” by Sidney St. Jameso https://books2read.com/u/mdGL8w• Detective Murder Mystery – “Ace of Spades, Part I” featuring Vincent Gideon by Sidney St. Jameso https://books2read.com/u/mBOr8N• Christian Novel, True Story from Memoirs.

Valentines Day Songs 2023 mean so much each year and this year, for me, it's 100 Pounds of Clay. It's that time of year again, Saint Valentines Day-.Valentine's brings the spring season to us almost and includes my work cleaning out several of my red clay flower pots. While I was cleaning them, it reminded me of the Story of the "Potter and the Clay." And then, I went inside to chill, and lo and behold, my wife and I stayed glued to the movie Ghost.The picture of a potter in my mind is someone sitting down on a stool with a wet glob of clay spinning on a wheel. So I researched pottery-making in Biblical times to see how different it may have been. Then, I wondered if what I learned from it would give us new insights about God, our Potter.

After all, it’s the one part of our book that we (often) didn’t have a hand in creating! Though hopefully connected to the characters, story or theme of our book in some way, the cover’s main purpose is to convince a potential reader to pick up our book in the first place – in some ways, it’s a form of marketing in itself.• Self-Publish Your Own Novels at Draft2Digital - https://www.draft2digital.com/sidneys...• Get More Subscriptions from YouTube – with TubeBuddy - https://www.tubebuddy.com/sidneystjam...• Convert Audio Podcast to Video Podcast for YouTube - https://repurpose.io/?aff=48660• Mystery & Suspense Romance, “Belem Towers” by Sidney St. Jameso https://books2read.com/u/mdGL8w• Detective Murder Mystery – “Ace of Spades, Part I” featuring Vincent Gideon by Sidney St. Jameso https://books2read.com/u/mBOr8N• Christian Novel, True Story from Memoirs.

The best romance books in 2022 are one of the best selling genres. But, what are the other high ranking genres to consider writing. When making this podcast, I have also taken into account subgenres. So let's look at them and see if the book you wish to write falls into one of these categories.FIRST IS ROMANCE – CONTEMPORARY AND HISTORICALRomance is always one of the top-selling book genres and has been that way for many years. In fact, it has never tumbled out of the top five bestselling book genres in many, many years.Romance books can be categorized by having an emotionally pleasing and often cheerful ending. These books take the book lover on a journey where they become empowered in the characters' love stories.Many subgenres in romance are constantly challenging the top spot. At this time, the most popular subgenres are either contemporary romance or historical romance.Contemporary romance are those set in the present time. Other novels set anytime after World War II would qualify. Because it is more current, you are free to explore the themes and ideas of current events. 2. CRIME AND THRILLERSCrime and thriller and suspenseful romance seems to be the three most popular genres in fiction books. While romance tries to give readers a warm, fuzzy feeling inside, thrillers engulf the reader into the darker side of life. 3. RELIGIOUS AND SELF-HELPThese books have a large following, both as eBooks and printed copies. People are definitely more interested than ever before in improving themselves… finding their faith, or asking for forgiveness.Religious books are self-help books, but they’re founded on religious principles.FAITH – SEVENTY TIMES SEVEN, SEEING THE POWER OF GOD AND GENESIS all fall under this category.Faith finds forgiveness. Seeing the Power of God finds Christianity and Genesis. W4. CHILDREN'S BOOKS – HUMORChildren's books are very, very popular in both print and eBook versions. Children on the most part read more books than adults. This is because it’s fun for them to get lost in an imaginary world. Anything that gives a spark to a child's sense of adventure and creativity is something they’ll enjoy reading.In terms of age, the sweet spot is children between ages of eight and twelve. Even books for younger kids are still top-rated. Adding a funny side to kids' books is a rising trend. Kids love to laugh. Two books in the Demon Bunny Chronicles Series meet this criterion. One is called HIDDEN WATERFALLS, AND THE OTHER IS SISSY'S IN TROUBLE by Vanessa Jean Shockley. Hey, honestly, who doesn't love a good laugh?!5. FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION – YOUNG ADULTBooklovers of this genre are incredibly loyal to it. There are many subgenres, but books geared toward young adults have become very popular. Most of the stories in these type of books take place in other worlds or right here on our own earth while twisting the action around a bit.About half of the books on the twenty bestselling books are from this genre. Think The Hobbit, or Lord of the Rings, or even The Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe.If you’re worried that you will have to compete with these large titles, then there's some good news. About 1/2 of this genre's total book sales were self-published.

Country Western Music 60s 70s as played by the one and only Dave Henry at the Back Room in Austin, Texas 42 years later!When Ronnie Roark entered the club business in Austin, Texas, he found quite early that the public and the musician didn't often agree on what they saw as entertainment.While the musician railed about audiences who were unequipped to appreciate art, Ronnie said, "To Hell with virtuosity. Just give me two thirty-five year old rednecks who can play three chords, preferably in the same key, who know that Faded Love has words, and who can refuff anything, short of a nuclear strike from the audience. Give me that, and my life will take care of itself.Later in 1980, Ronnie Roark said he was cornered by trwo starboard listing fellows enshrouded with the fragrance of nepennthe. The two men walked up to Ronnie and said, "We're Dan and Dave." And sure enough they were. Life without parole on Friday nights at The Back Room, crowds beyond the fire marshall's nightmares, and thousands upon thousands of loyal fans.Back in 1980, if you appreciated country music and you can stand hearing that your mother wore combat boots or that your girlfriend's mouth belongs in a Tijuana sideshow, you belonged to the many, many loyal fans of Dan & Dave.Let's welcome after 43 years back to the stage, DAVE HENRY.• Self-Publishing on Draft2Digital - https://www.draft2digital.com/sidneys...• Get More Subscriptions from YouTube – with TubeBuddy - https://www.tubebuddy.com/sidneystjam...• Convert Audio Podcast to Video Podcast for YouTube - https://repurpose.io/?aff=48660Novels from Bookstores and Libraries Around the World• Mystery & Suspense Romance, “Belem Towers” by Sidney St. Jameso https://books2read.com/u/mdGL8w• Detective Murder Mystery – “Ace of Spades, Part I” featuring Vincent Gideon by Sidney St. Jameso https://books2read.com/u/mBOr8N• Christian Novel, True Story from Memoirs.

Easter hallelujah video and doubting Thomas from the Sidney St James Show.• Episode 14 – An Easter Prayer• Episode 15 – The Last Supper• Episode 16 – The Crucifixion• Episode 17 – The Resurrection• Episode 18 – Doubting ThomasI want to draw a clear line this morning — not so much between the Christian and the non-Christian, but rather between the Christian who is standing firm in his faith, who is walking with God, who is confident of his salvation — who knows God is pleased with him and he is on his way to heaven. On the other hand, there is everyone else. Paul issues that warning right at the beginning of our passage — “unless you have believed in vain.” Look, as James says, even the devils believe in God. “You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder!” (James 2:19)I want to give you a chance this morning to cross that divide and make your faith sure. There is one place to do that more surely than anywhere else, and it is the place we are gathering this morning. You might expect me to say we will come to the cross — and we will, of course, speak about the cross — but, in fact, we are coming to the empty tomb. For it is at the empty tomb that we meet Jesus — He is not dead, He is risen!The good news is the story of Jesus and how the events of his life 2000 years ago still have a major impact on us today.

Live Country Music Performances as played by the one and only Dave Henry at the Back Room in Austin, Texas 42 years later!When Ronnie Roark entered the club business in Austin, Texas, he found quite early that the public and the musician didn't often agree on what they saw as entertainment.While the musician railed about audiences who were unequipped to appreciate art, Ronnie said, "To Hell with virtuosity. Just give me two thirty-five year old rednecks who can play three chords, preferably in the same key, who know that Faded Love has words, and who can refuff anything, short of a nuclear strike from the audience. Give me that, and my life will take care of itself.Later in 1980, Ronnie Roark said he was cornered by trwo starboard listing fellows enshrouded with the fragrance of nepennthe. The two men walked up to Ronnie and said, "We're Dan and Dave." And sure enough they were. Life without parole on Friday nights at The Back Room, crowds beyond the fire marshall's nightmares, and thousands upon thousands of loyal fans.Back in 1980, if you appreciated country music and you can stand hearing that your mother wore combat boots or that your girlfriend's mouth belongs in a Tijuana sideshow, you belonged to the many, many loyal fans of Dan & Dave.Let's welcome after 43 years back to the stage, DAVE HENRY.• Self-Publishing on Draft2Digital - https://www.draft2digital.com/sidneys...• Get More Subscriptions from YouTube – with TubeBuddy - https://www.tubebuddy.com/sidneystjam...• Convert Audio Podcast to Video Podcast for YouTube - https://repurpose.io/?aff=48660Novels from Bookstores and Libraries Around the World• Mystery & Suspense Romance, “Belem Towers” by Sidney St. Jameso https://books2read.com/u/mdGL8w• Detective Murder Mystery – “Ace of Spades, Part I” featuring Vincent Gideon by Sidney St. Jameso https://books2read.com/u/mBOr8N• Christian Novel, True Story from Memoirs.

A Very Special Easter hallelujah video from the Sidney St James Show - "Doubting Thomas"• Episode 14 – An Easter Prayer• Episode 15 – The Last Supper• Episode 16 – The Crucifixion• Episode 17 – The Resurrection• Episode 18 – Doubting ThomasI want to draw a clear line this morning — not so much between the Christian and the non-Christian, but rather between the Christian who is standing firm in his faith, who is walking with God, who is confident of his salvation — who knows God is pleased with him and he is on his way to heaven. On the other hand, there is everyone else. Paul issues that warning right at the beginning of our passage — “unless you have believed in vain.” Look, as James says, even the devils believe in God. “You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder!” (James 2:19)I want to give you a chance this morning to cross that divide and make your faith sure. There is one place to do that more surely than anywhere else, and it is the place we are gathering this morning. You might expect me to say we will come to the cross — and we will, of course, speak about the cross — but, in fact, we are coming to the empty tomb. For it is at the empty tomb that we meet Jesus — He is not dead, He is risen!The good news is the story of Jesus and how the events of his life 2000 years ago still have a major impact on us today. What does Paul say is the most important thing?What is the “good news” or “gospel” according to Paul?There are three aspects:• Christ died• He was buried• He was raised from death.• Self-Publish Your Own Novels at Draft2Digital - https://www.draft2digital.com/sidneystjames• Get More Subscriptions from YouTube – with TubeBuddy - https://www.tubebuddy.com/sidneystjamesshow• Convert Audio Podcast to Video Podcast for YouTube - https://repurpose.io/?aff=48660• Mystery & Suspense Romance, “Belem Towers” by Sidney St. Jameso https://books2read.com/u/mdGL8w• Detective Murder Mystery – “Ace of Spades, Part I” featuring Vincent Gideon by Sidney St. Jameso https://books2read.com/u/mBOr8N• Christian Novel, True Story from Memoirs.

Live Country Performances as played by the one and only Dave Henry at the Back Room in Austin, Texas 42 years later! When Ronnie Roark entered the club business in Austin, Texas, he found quite early that the public and the musician didn't often agree on what they saw as entertainment. While the musician railed about audiences who were unequipped to appreciate art, Ronnie said, "To Hell with virtuosity. Just give me two thirty-five year old rednecks who can play three chords, preferably in the same key, who know that Faded Love has words, and who can rebuff anything, short of a nuclear strike from the audience. Give me that, and my life will take care of itself. Later in 1980, Ronnie Roark said he was cornered by two starboard listing fellows enshrouded with the fragrance of nepenthe. The two men walked up to Ronnie and said, "We're Dan and Dave." And sure enough they were. Life without parole on Friday nights at The Back Room, crowds beyond the fire marshall's nightmares, and thousands upon thousands of loyal fans. Back in 1980, if you appreciated country music and you can stand hearing that your mother wore combat boots or that your girlfriend's mouth belongs in a Tijuana sideshow, you belonged to the many, many loyal fans of Dan & Dave. Let's welcome after 43 years back to the stage, DAVE HENRY.

Valentines Day Songs 2023 mean so much each year and this year, for me, it's 100 Pounds of Clay. It's that time of year again, Saint Valentines Day-.Valentine's brings the spring season to us almost and includes my work cleaning out several of my red clay flower pots. While I was cleaning them, it reminded me of the Story of the "Potter and the Clay." And then, I went inside to chill, and lo and behold, my wife and I stayed glued to the movie Ghost. The picture of a potter in my mind is someone sitting down on a stool with a wet glob of clay spinning on a wheel. So I researched pottery-making in Biblical times to see how different it may have been. Then, I wondered if what I learned from it would give us new insights about God, our Potter. Clay was common in the East way back when and many excavations have unearthed locations where pottery-making took place. The clay was excavated and brought to the Potter. It was then prepared by first removing the stones, sticks, and whatnot. Water was then added to soften it up for kneading. Next, they used pottery wheels and placed the lump of clay on the platform. As it turned, the Potter guided the glob of clay into the form of a vessel. They used pottery kilns to bake the vessels dry. When the clay is located on the center of the platform, the revolving force and the hands of the Potter create a perfectly shaped vessel. However, if the ball of clay is off-center, it will eventually form unevenly. Then it will collapse. Like the clay, we, also, need to be centered on Jesus. He can shape us effortlessly when we give him complete control and stay absolutely centered on him. Interestingly, one technique used when first centering the clay is to pull it towards you, like Demi Moore did in "Ghost!" Have you ever felt God’s hands drawing you towards Him? This is because he wants us to be close to Himself, entirely centered and shaped by Him. The first Bible verse on this topic came to mind when God created us: "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostril the breath of life, and man became a living soul." The Hebrew word "formed" in this scripture is the same word that is used for a potter, "the one who forms." God molded the form of a man from the dust of the earth. He formed us into a vessel he imagined and created with his own two hands. His work as a potter began at our creation and continues today! The second verse was, "Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, and you are the Potter. We all are formed by your hand." Isaiah 64:8.

Designing a paperback book cover in BookBrush is as simple as apple pie. The first thing a potential reader sees when they come across our book is not the writing itself (not even the blurb!), but our book’s front cover. After all, it’s the one part of our book that we (often) didn’t have a hand in creating! Though hopefully connected to the characters, story or theme of our book in some way, the cover’s main purpose is to convince a potential reader to pick up our book in the first place – in some ways, it’s a form of marketing in itself. And that makes a good book cover something of a necessity. Most writers once needed to purchase one, as it’s not often that an author also had graphic design experience on their resume (let alone experience knowing what does or doesn’t work on a book cover, or the objectivity to separate themselves from the design process). Book cover designs can set an author back between $150 and $500, and with cheaper options not always providing great value for money. sometimes an author needs to put their own cover together (for the time being, at least). But how do you even go about doing that? Or creating any of the other visual assets your book might require (3D mockups for your website, images for Facebook ads, etc.)? There are numerous pieces of software available – from the obvious and (sort of) expensive to the obscure and free. After experiencing many book covers designed by companies, I have learned to use a user friendly service and save the cost of the service in making 1 book cover!

It’s somewhat unfortunate that the first thing a potential reader sees when they come across our book is not the writing itself (not even the blurb!), but our book’s front cover. After all, it’s the one part of our book that we (often) didn’t have a hand in creating! Though hopefully connected to the characters, story or theme of our book in some way, the cover’s main purpose is to convince a potential reader to pick up our book in the first place – in some ways, it’s a form of marketing in itself. And that makes a good book cover something of a necessity. Most writers, like myself, needed to purchase one, as it’s not often that an author also has graphic design experience on their resume (let alone experience knowing what does or doesn’t work on a book cover, or the objectivity to separate themselves from the design process). But with some book cover designs setting an author back between $150 and $500, and with cheaper options not always providing great value for money, sometimes an author needs to put their own cover together. But how do you even go about doing that? I will show you today with the actual design of my ebook, paperback and audio covers on BookBrush.com. It is easy and show you how in this episode.

Getting started narrating audiobooks is important for indie authors, especially for people who’ve written personal books like memoirs. While the best results come from working with professional narrators and producers, some authors may find it financially or creatively rewarding to carry out the process themselves. The DIY route requires slightly more time and effort, especially when adopting new audio engineering skills. In this episode of "So You Want to be an Author" we will show several easy steps that will make you sound like a professional disc jockey on the radio!

You can get Grammarly for free and check for the most common mistakes as you type. Sign up for a Grammarly account. Note that Grammarly has a free and a paid version.

The best romance books in 2022 are one of the best selling genres. But, what are the other high ranking genres to consider writing. When making this podcast, I have also taken into account subgenres. So let's look at them and see if the book you wish to write falls into one of these categories. FIRST IS ROMANCE – CONTEMPORARY AND HISTORICAL Romance is always one of the top-selling book genres and has been that way for many years. In fact, it has never tumbled out of the top five bestselling book genres in many, many years. Romance books can be categorized by having an emotionally pleasing and often cheerful ending. These books take the book lover on a journey where they become empowered in the characters' love stories. Many subgenres in romance are constantly challenging the top spot. At this time, the most popular subgenres are either contemporary romance or historical romance. Contemporary romance are those set in the present time. Other novels set anytime after World War II would qualify. Because it is more current, you are free to explore the themes and ideas of current events. Some examples of these are DESTINY WAITS OR NEVAEH – THE LOST CITY OF ALTINOVA On the other hand, historical romance is set in any time before 1945. Therefore, the plot of these books relies on a portrayal of the era it is set in. In my portfolio, such novels are I AM WOMAN – HEAR ME ROAR, AND I AM WOMAN – I AM INVINCIBLE, WITH A SETTING IN the CIVIL WAR ERA. 2. CRIME AND THRILLERS Crime and thriller and suspenseful romance seems to be the three most popular genres in fiction books. While romance tries to give readers a warm, fuzzy feeling inside, thrillers engulf the reader into the darker side of life. This is precisely what readers want when they pick up my novels ROSENTHALL OR VINCENT JAMES GIDEON or BELEM TOWERS. 3. RELIGIOUS AND SELF-HELP These books have a large following, both as eBooks and printed copies. People are definitely more interested than ever before in improving themselves… finding their faith, or asking for forgiveness. Religious books are self-help books, but they’re founded on religious principles. FAITH – SEVENTY TIMES SEVEN, SEEING THE POWER OF GOD AND GENESIS all fall under this category. Faith finds forgiveness. Seeing the Power of God finds Christianity and Genesis. Well, duh, Genesis is the story of the Old Testament.

Episode 17
The Best Christmas Gift Ever
Finding Blessings When You’re All Alone
Hello Everyone. Sidney St. James. I am recording a memory that I had when I was five years old. Yep, there’s something about times in our later years that Christmastime has a way to bring out some of those memories that have been buried for years. Today is one of those memories.
Recently, I began reflecting on a time in my life I hadn’t thought about in a while.
I began remembering the time when I was five years old and staying with my GRANDMA AND GRANDPA, better known as Grandma Ada and Pop Nelson, because my dad and mom needed some away time from the kids. We were dropped off near Evelyn, Louisiana outside of Coushatta and my parents went on their way.
Having the opportunity to stay with my grandma and grandpa for a little while was a treat because they lived in an area out in the country near sugar cane fields, corn stalks and lots of places to go fishing.
That Christmas she ended up being longer than she had intended because my father insisted that they extend their vacation.
This would be the first time in my five years that I would be without my mom for Christmas. Of course, as any child would, I cried over it a bit, and eventually was assured that everything would work itself out.

YOU WILL NEVER WALK ALONE
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God, and everyone who loves… is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. — 1 John 4:7-8
The Bible says God is love. Not just that God can be all-loving. He is love.
And… because he is love, God created us to have a relationship with him.
Because he is love. Our Father in heaven offers us his mercifulness.
Hello everyone. Sidney St. James, on a few days before Christmas giving thoughts and prayers for a safe holiday season for everyone. We also offer our thanks to him for sending his only forgotten son down to earth to be born under a bright star on Christmas morning shining down from the heavens.
Iwas eighteen when my Mother died at age 50 of a heart attack. Devastated, angry, and confused, I wanted to know why God took my mom.
Without a strong relationship with Christ, I had been consumed by a storm of grief and despair. I longed for hope and comfort. Then shortly after her death, I happened upon the movie, Carousel, and heard the song, “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” written by Oscar Hammerstein and Richard Rodgers.
The following is a portion of the song, that touched my soul.
When you walk through a storm, hold your head up high and don’t be afraid of the dark. At the end of the storm, there’s a golden sky, and the sweet silver song of a lark. Walk on through the wind; walk on through the rain, though your dreams be tossed and blown…walk on; walk on, with hope in your heart, and you’ll never walk alone; you’ll never walk alone.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 20
CHRISTMAS MEMORIES - ONCE UPON A TIME
Hello Everyone. Sidney St. James here to say Merry Christmas and Good Tidings to All. The Christmas Season season is a special time of year. It’s a season to connect with each member of your family, and create memories and traditions that your family and kids will remember when they are older. Creating memories as a family also gives your children a secure foundation and understanding of their identity in the family.
MAIN NARRATIVE
Once upon a time, a whole bunch of years ago, there was a wanderer. He set out on a journey. It was a magical journey that seemed very long when he began and very short when he got halfway through. He trekked along a rather dark path for a while without meeting anything until, at last, he came upon a beautiful child. So, he said to the little one, “What are you doing here?” And the child replied, “I am always playing. Come… come and tag along and play with me!” Our wanderer played with that child the whole day long. They were very cheerful. The sky was so blue… up in the sky, the sun was so bright, the water on the nearby pond was sparkling, the leaves on the trees were so green, and the bluebonnets were so lovely. They heard the sounds of numerous warbling birds and saw so many butterflies of many colors that everything was picturesque. This was in fine weather. They loved to watch the falling raindrops and smell the fresh scents when they sprinkled. When the breezes blew, it was wonderful to eavesdrop to the wind and fancy what it said as it came hastening from its home high up in the sky. Where that was, the two boys wondered!— whistling and wailing, driving the clouds before it, bending the trees back and forth, rumbling in the chimneys… shaking the entire house, and making the far-off ocean roar in a fury.

SEASON 4EPISODE 13"My God, My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me?"
'Why Have You Forsaken Me?'
Hello Everyone. Sidney St. James. Today I search for answers on my show like I have done in many other scenarios. Again, I am not an ordained minister, and don't profess to me. But I'm a caring and believing man who asks numerous questions. Many years ago, I wrote my first novel, ADVERSITY. I asked so many questions that I became a Professional Genealogist. Then, I wrote the ROSE OF BRAYS BAYOU and found how women struggled with their FAITH when escaping the wrath of Santa Anna after the fall of the Alamo. Then, I still struggle with forgiveness when writing from the memoirs of the first ordained woman of the Presbytery in FAITH - SEVENTY TIME SEVEN. I have written two novels, GENESIS AND HALLELUJAH, and found so many mysteries or places in the Old Testament and New Testament that made me ask questions! Finally, I wrote SEEING THE POWER OF GOD, where I asked many of those questions again through my character Billy Bob Thornton. That brings me to today with my visiting the Old and New Testament. Today I quote to begin my show from Psalm 22: Verses 1 thru 8 of the Old Testament.
"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning? O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer, and by night, I find no rest. Yet you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel. In you our fathers trusted; they trusted, and you delivered them. To you, they cried and were rescued; in you, they trusted and were not put to shame. But I am a worm, not a man, scorned by mankind and despised by the people. All who see me mock me; they make mouths at me; they wag their heads; "He trusts in the LORD; let him deliver him; let him rescue him, for he delights in him!"
And then,
From the New Testament, Matthew 27: Verses 46-51 - "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Some of the bystanders, overhearing it, said, "This man is calling his God." So one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with some sour wine, placed it on a reed, and handed it to him to drink. But the others said, "Wait, let's see whether his God will arrive in time to save him." And Jesus cried out once more with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit. And behold, the temple curtain was torn in two, from the very top to the bottom. The earth rumbled and shook, and the rocks were split."
Also, from the New Testament from Mark 15: Verses 33-37 - "When the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried loudly, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" And some bystanders hearing it said, "Behold, he is calling his God to save him." And someone ran and filled up a sponge with sour wine, placed it on a reed, and gave it to the man to drink, saying, "Wait, let us see whether his God will come to take him down." And Jesus uttered a loud cry… and took his last breath."
So, let me ask you this. Why did Jesus Christ feel forsaken on the CROSS? Well, that's my story for today.
Since we are only two days from Christ's birth, I thought on this episode I would play one of my favorite renditions of Hallelujah for your listening enjoyment. It is called Christmas Hallelujah by Caleb and Kelsey. We will return after the song and try to answer our question for the day, "Why Did Jesus Feel Forsaken on the Cross?"--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/sidneystjames/message

A MEMORIAL COMMEMORATING THE 1914
CHRISTMAS TRUCE IN ENGLAND
Hello Everyone. Sidney St. James with you in the Holiday Season of 2022. And, in only four days one of the most amazing things happened that many are not even aware. As you probably already have experienced, it’s during the holidays that traditions happen. Driving around the neighborhoods looking at Christmas Lights. Little ones remaining in bed in the morning hours waiting and wondering if Santa had made a visit. Or, there’s my aluminum foil star and angel I made when I was six years old that we still hang in the tree. And then there’s Barbara Christmas Ball that is always hidden inside the tree somewhere where Santa has to really look hard to find it. Surprisingly, he has found it every year!
But it was about fifteen years ago I was invited to speak to all of the veterans of foreign wars in World War II, Korean Ware, and Vietnam and Desert Storm.
I worked on trying to find the right topic to give a talk of which I was given fifteen minutes to do ten days before Christmas. Well, as you probably already got figured out, I never throw anything away. I’m not necessary a pack rat… but maybe a packman, cause I got dozen of boxes on the shelves like many of you do. If this was a text I was sending, I would say “lots of laughs”
But, anyhow, I found the transcript of that particular talk I gave and it was a hit and very few people knew about it.
Back on Christmas Eve in 1914, God Began to work in his mysterious ways. I thought it would be an appropriate podcast for this time of the year for all the bad things happening in the world.
Can’t we all just get along with each other around this entire globe. Well, for my story.

Hello Everyone. Welcome to one of my specials during this Holiday Season. Sidney St. James with you today. Throughout my twenties, I’ve learned so much about genuine love, and in that, realizing the importance of cultivating relationships and surrounding yourself with people who get you on a soul level. Over the last month or so, I’ve read a post or two from a couple of my favorite blogs on friendship and how to maintain those relationships. Since reading those, I really started thinking about the subject of friendship in general and how much my definition of it has changed over the course of the last ten years.
Obviously, we all have people in our lives who come and go – seasonal friends, if you will. And in my case, Pickleball Friends! But, the older I get, the more thankful I am for those few, genuine people in my life who I never have to question. They just show up in every way – and it’s easy. As I’m rounded out my twenties, I not only learned a lot, but I was continually reminded that this was the age & stage of life where a lot of those life-long friendships are cultivated. With this stage came so many highs and lows – marriage and separations, careers taking off and others changing, some with infertility struggles and others with growing families, house closings and big moves, family issues and even loss. It’s was then, more than ever, that we really needed our friends.
That brings me to the sport of Pickleball and that’s such a special sport because of the community that surrounds pickleball. By picking up a pickleball paddle, you will undoubtedly make new friends and foster relationships that go far beyond the pickleball court. These relationships, founded on the sport of Pickleball, will have tremendous effects on your health, as people who have strong social connections and relationships (1) have better health, (2) live longer, and (3) are happier.
Today, many years later, I will tell you an interesting thing that happened. As you know, we are only two weeks away from Christmas. My baby brother Warren called and I told him something very fascinating about this friendship thing Barbara, my lovely wife and I have with Pickleball players. And you know what, Warren said the same thing was true when he played in Burnet and now was playing in Fredericksburg, Texas.

IN THE LIFE OF A NOVELIST AND HOW MUSIC PLAYS A VITAL ROLE
Hello Everyone. Sidney St. James. Today is a fun broadcast and one where I go back a decade and cover some of my best selling novels and how each one has a dramatic scene that I could never have written without the help of music.
About five years ago, Amazon sent me an invitation to write the screenplay for FAITH – Seventy Times Seven. Well, the truth of the matter, I am on my fourth pass of writing it as it is actually far more difficult to write than one of my stories. In FAITH, a three-hundred and sixty-five page novel, it was important that I write the screenplay in under one hundred pages. Much easier said than done.
Writing a scene in one of my novels which is usually one of the last scenes that the entire book worked up to, required my finding a song, and closing my eyes, and playing the song and the words come out of my mind like that in watching any love story that brings water to your eyes. Kinda like the tv series, “Signed, Sealed and Delivered.” Watch one of those episodes and be honest and tell me you don’t get a tear in your eye at the end.
So, today, I will share my secret song for how I got the inspiration for each one of three best selling novels.
Again, thanks for joining me.

EPISODE 6
EVERY DAY IS THANKSGIVING by Sidney St. James
How often on any given day do you say thank you, Lord? Just the other day, on the way to Pickleball, someone almost turned right into me in the car. They didn't, and I shouted, "Oh, thank you, God!" What happens when you wake up in the morning? You try to get your eyes open and move, and your only motivation is that God is your God. Jesus Christ is the Lord of your life and will be with you at home, at work, and wherever you go all day long. Hello everyone, and welcome to the Sidney St. James Show today as we give thanks on this Thanksgiving Day.
Main Story
It's Thursday morning, and people around the country will be sitting down at a big dining room table. I am sure that when you think of Thanksgiving, and I'm asking you to really be honest now, what is the first word that comes to your mind? But, unfortunately, when I asked that question, you weren't answering it right away… or didn't want to answer it.
Let me ask it a different way. How many of you, and again, be honest, think of Thanksgiving and feel a big Turkey roasting in the oven. No, I think many of you are answering about lots of eating, lots of turkey, and spending considerable time with the family. You sit at a dining room table with a thanksgiving tablecloth, and the food stretches from one end to the other. The television is on the Thanksgiving Day NFL game, a great annual event. And, if you go back to the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, you have the television set on the Annual Turkey Day Game between the Texas Aggies and the Texas Longhorns.
With the family and friends sitting around, the football game going on the tv, I wonder how many bow their heads and ask a sincere blessing… "Lord, thank you for this wonderful table. Amen."

EPISODE 2
I BELIEVE – God’s Not Dead He’s Really Alive!
Hello Everyone. Welcome to Season 4, Episode 2. Sidney St. James here.
I was talking with my wife today after her Bible Studies about Job in the Bible. The fourteenth chapter and the fourteenth verse. Job is in the Old Testament, the place where my novel GENESIS had its beginning. But today, in this particular scripture, we will talk about how it is the oldest book in the world. There’s not another known book in this world as old as the Book of Job.
And yet, Job asks a question that I’m sure many of you listening today ask yourselves sometimes. Job asks a question that every single philosopher in the world has struggled with. He asks a question that every great thinker struggles with. He asks the same question as several of my listeners in the forty-some-odd countries in the world asked me on one of my last podcasts in Season 3!
Here is the Question: IF A MAN DIES, SHALL HE LIVE AGAIN?
We are talking now about the problem of life and death. Or death and life.
Have you ever thought about that? Your answer is probably yes. But listen. You’ve just been to a funeral. For a short while, you are solemn… you are thoughtful. You go home, and that night you go and hop in bed, thinking about it. One of your thoughts will be, “one of these days, they are gonna be taking me out to the cemetery. They will be saying some kind words over me. Is that the end? Is it over?

THE WRITING OF SEEING THE POWER OF GOD – WHY DOES GOD KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE?
OPENING NARRATIVE
Why in the world does God kill innocent people? That is one of the questions Billy Bob Thornton asked his Father repeatedly in the book SEEING THE POWER OF GOD. Hello everyone. Sidney St. James here with one of the most thought-provoking novels I've ever written, and through creative writing, try to answer the question, "Does one have to believe in the Bible to be a Christian?"
In my podcast today, I will discuss one of the hundreds of questions Billy Bob Thornton asks of his Christian tutor and one that never gets answered in the book. The book's writing came after I finished my six-novel series on the Civil War. Hundreds of hours were spent in this series watching how the South used the Bible to explain why they were like they were. And, the North, well, it used the Bible to explain away their sins, as well.
So, I used Seeing the Power of God as a vehicle to try and ask many questions I asked when writing it as to why? So, one of the first questions I will be looking at today is "Why Does God Kill Innocent People?"
Thanks for being with me today…

If I Could Dream
Dreams Don't Come True, They Are True!
Dreams tell you what you really know.
Hello everyone. Sidney St. James. Last night it wasn't me that was having a dream, but my wife. No kidding here, but all of a sudden, I found opened my eyes, and she was beating the crap out of me! I immediately opened my eyes, and began shouting, "Whoa! Whoa!" Then, she turned over and went back to sleeping while I laid their completely awake at 3 in the morning staring at the ceiling.
But, don't misunderstand me, because I have nightmares more often than she does. And, many of my novels come from my dreams. I wake up in a sweat from some dreams that are "interesting" and I didn't want to wake up from and then others which were nightmares. I immediately go to my laptop and begin writing my next novel.
Dreams can be entertaining, disturbing, or downright bizarre and some can be sexy or romantic. We all dream, even if we don't remember it the next day. The question is, why do we dream? And what do they mean, anyway?
Dreams are basically stories and images that our mind creates while we sleep. They can be vivid. They can make you feel happy, sad, or scared. And they may seem confusing or they may seem perfectly rational.
Dreams can happen at any time during sleep. But you have your most vivid dreams during a phase called REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, when our brains are most active. Some experts say we dream at least four to six times every night.
I don't like to talk politics in most of my podcasts unless something really bothers me, and then I pull out the cork and say what I feel. Today is no different, except I had a dream last night that flashed across this entire globe of ours and everyone was walking up and shaking hands with each other. Many were hugging. Then, I saw myself walk over to a Wurlitzer 1015 Jukebox and drop a nickel in the slot…

Spirituality vs Religion
THREE BIG Differences Between Each
Greetings Everyone from the Great State of Texas! Sidney St. James here. You’ve probably heard people say they’re “spiritual but not religious” when describing their faith, and wondered what it truly means. Actually, this morning my wife and I were talking about what I was working on in my podcast show for the week and I told her it was a puzzle about solving to help me with the writing of my detective series. Then she made a comment and followed it up with, “Maybe it’s spiritual… then after a pause she said, no it’s religious.” Then as I was walking off, she said, “Oh, I don’t know, maybe there’s not a difference.”
Her last statement is not unlike what a majority of us often say when using the words “religion” and “spirituality” and use them interchangeably… but, my dear friends, the two words are not interchangeable and are entirely separate concepts.
Ahhh, so I can hear you saying in my mind, “Sidney, you’re so smart… what is the difference between religion and spirituality?In my podcast today, we will define both and explain just how they are different. So again, thanks for being here…

Stories play a huge role in our lives, larger in fact that many of us know. Sure, we love to read stories, we love to see our favorite stories on the big screen, we love to tell stories, and some of us even like to make up our own stories. But stories serve a much more significant role in our lives than simply to entertain us, they have a much greater significance.
We as human beings are story-shaped creatures. We are born into stories, raised in stories, and live and die in stories. Whenever there is a time that we have to answer a BIG question, like, “Who am I? Why am I here? What in the world should I do? Or, what happens to me when I die?... Great questions. So, what do we do? We go and tell a story.
Do stories have a place or do they play a role in the Christian life? The answer is… Absolutely! It is largely through stories, through Biblical narratives, that God chooses to reveal Himself to us. When we were born, did God give us an instruction manual or a step-by-step “Dummy Guide to Knowing God” to understanding your deity? When God want to reveal His character to us, He plunges us into a story about the time when Moses asked to see God. When He wanted to show us His power of creation, He planted our feet along the banks of the Red Sea and told the story of how He made a road right through the middle of the sea!

Welcome, everyone. Sidney St. James again with Part II of "Growing Up in a Small Town!" This may seem a little funny, but it was the simple things of growing up in a small town I grew to appreciate about my alma mater, Eagle Lake High School. I loved when the sunset turned the sky into a canvas of pinks and purples. I was excited when local events, like the crawfish festival or the Rotary or Lions Fair, had their annual parades. I smiled when the cashier at the grocery store was friendly, asking how my family was doing and if I had a chance to try the new restaurant that had just opened out on Highway Alternate 90.
However, when it was finally time for me to pack up and move away, I felt overwhelming sadness about leaving. It was weird to graduate high school and say goodbye to my classmates who I quite literally grew up with. I dreaded every goodbye, no matter who I was saying it to. Although both the front and back of my High School Eagle Yearbook had signatures from almost every one of my classmates. I didn't understand why I felt uneasy about leaving for the longest time, but now I realize that I felt emotionally confused because I planted such strong roots in the town where everyone knew my name. I knew that no matter where I lived next, Eagle Lake would always be the town I would always call HOME.
So, without further ado, let's get on with the final episode in "Growing Up in a Small Town!"

A healthy weight loss and health plan that really works. "You don't become what you want, you become what you believe!"
Hello everyone. Sidney and Barbara here today to talk to you about losing weight and getting healthy… all at the same time. Those of you who have followed my blog site for years have listened to how I have always struggled with weight gain. I once played Pickleball three days a week, racketball twice, and usually a softball tournament on the weekends. Very active, to say the least. Then, I stopped smoking to hopefully add some years to my life.
Well, it did. But what happened was I mushroomed. After that, all foods had a fantastic taste to them… even plain ole lettuce. And then, I gained almost two hundred pounds. That’s right. I’m not kidding. I couldn’t bend over and pick anything up. I definitely couldn’t chase a softball on the ballfield or rush up to the net in Pickleball any longer.
It got awful. I did accomplish sitting in my chair all day and writing books. But, where I celebrated milestones in my writing, I didn’t observe any milestones in weight loss.
I had to stop the book signing. I had to stop going out to social functions. I had to stop doing almost everything I loved to do. So then, a decision was made to have a gastric bypass.
I did that. I lost almost 200 pounds. I looked so good. I compared myself to Sean Connery when I looked into the mirror after getting out of the shower.
And Barbara has this to say.
Hi, This is Barbara. I’m here to give you my story. For most of my life, I managed to keep my weight under control. Until we quit smoking. I wasn’t going to be that person who quit smoking and then gained a ton of weight. But… I did! Over several years, I gained about 40 pounds. It took quite a few years to realize my version of eating healthy and getting in lots of exercise wasn’t going to work. So, I decided to continue the exercise and follow a really low-carb intake diet plan.
That did get about 20 pounds and lots of fat to go away but hit a brick wall that stayed for about 10 more years. And then, we met our amazing neighbors and joined their program to lose weight and become way healthier. In only seven weeks, I’ve lost 15 pounds, lots and lots of stored fat, and gained lots of energy… and a healthy, happier life. I love this program, and it works!
Vincent Van Gogh once said, “If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint’ then by all means paint… and that voice will be silenced!

PART II
of
MEMORIAL DAY TRIBUTE TO THE USS HOUSTON**
Greetings to everyone on this Memorial Day 2022. Sidney St. James, with you for the dramatic conclusion to my Memorial Day Tribute to the USS Houston in World War II. Before continuing where I left off, I should mention that today's idea came from my earlier podcast about Superheroes. Well, in that broadcast was a mention of Dr. Strange in the newest movie coming out. In that episode, I talked about not the magical powers of that superhero but how you wonder how in the world he could climb back up time after time after being left for dead so many times. He had the nine lives of a cat! Well, so did the USS Houston. While the Japanese reported it sinking more than once, it was hundreds of miles away, still floating… still fighting. Knowing this, let me continue where I left off…
It's been a very long day, and it was nearing sunset as I watched the sun sinking into the waters of the Java Sea. The sea's surface was covered with clouds of black smoke, which made it difficult for us to spot the enemy. However, it was discovered that Japanese cruisers were closing in on us from every direction, and our destroyers were ordered to attack with torpedoes to divert them and give us time to reform. Although no hits were reported, the effect of the attack did what it was supposed to and turned the Japs away. At this point, the engagement was broken off. The daylight battle had ended with no decisive results; however, there was still the convoy, which we would attempt to surprise under cover of nighttime darkness.
A word from Winston Churchill and then the rest of my story. God Bless Our American Soldiers Around the World!!!

What’s that? A radio is being broadcast across the entire ship. Not a man is moving as everyone has their ears listening closely to the announcement from President Franklin D. Roosevelt from radio signal coming in from CBS and NBC Radio.
PRESIDENT FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT DECLARING WAR
ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1941 AFTER JAPANESE EMPIRE BOMBED PEARL HARBOR ON SUNDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1941
I rushed back up to the place I had landed my time machine, and was quickly lifted away until I found myself nestled in the bed in my quarters on the USS Houston. It was near sunset on February 28, 1942
The ship I was on, the U.S.S. Houston, Admiral Tommy Hart’s former Asiatic flagship, had vanished off the radar without a trace somewhere off the Northwest coast of Java. The mystery of this great warship remained complete until the war ended and small groups of survivors were discovered in Japanese prisoner of war camps, scattered from the island of Java through the Malay Peninsula, the jungles of Burma and Thailand, and northward to the Islands of Japan.
Of the 1,008 officers and men who manned her, including myself, approximately 350 escaped from the sinking ship, only to be captured in the jungles of Java, or as they floundered helplessly in the sea. Of the original survivors, only 266 lived through the ordeal of filth and brutal treatment brutally handed out to them in the Japanese prisoner of war camps.
To me the story of the U.S.S. Houston, especially during the last three weeks of her valiant battle against overwhelming odds, is one of the greatest epics of the United States Navy, yet historians of World War II seem to have neglected it almost completely. Not only that. In 1970, my mother was given a typewritten manuscript from my Uncle who was one of the 266 who lived through the ordeal of… as I put it… filth and brutal treatment. My story today is long overdue. In 2016, I wrote a novel called “The Galloping Ghost from the Java Coast,” which finally told the story of the brave and gallant 266 men, but I was asked not to publish it. It still sits quietly on my computer, but I have decided to tell part of the story in the 2-Part Podcast as a memorial to all the brave men on the USS Houston during World War II.
My time machine comes in really handy but I could have been killed just as easily as any other man on that fateful night back in ’42. What happened to the USS Houston that night was a nightmare of many years standing, yet each incident of that wild battle still lives on in my mind as vividly as though it happened only a few minutes ago. In reality, it actually did, but jumping from one time to another can be very exhausting as you have heard in previous podcasts.
So, thanks everyone, from me, Sidney St. James, author of “The Galloping Ghost of the Java Coast, and your host TODAY of this Part I of II podcast as I tell my Memorial Day story that has been passed by historians around the world for a very long time!

EPISODE 6
1375-1300 BC
Samson and Delilah's Shocking Love Story
From the Book of Judges in the Bible
Hello everyone. Your host Sidney St. James with you today. I had been "clicking" up a storm on my novel No. 51, a murder mystery called "Murder in the Prairie Edge Museum," when suddenly, a thought hit me. I don't understand why this occurs, but I was way up in the present day in my hometown murder mystery when I thought of another loving relationship from way back in 1350 BC. I know… how in the world could a romance mystery novel written in 2022 have anything to do with a romance so far back in Biblical Times. Right? Well, I think of all sorts of romances when writing a book and the one I wish to talk to you today about is a duzzy. And you think Judas was an awful betrayest. You've got another thing coming today.
In my first episode of Season 3, I mention that most of my novels have some sort of input from the Bible. Maybe it's only a prayer, dream, or thought before pulling a trigger, but there's always something. Oh, and yes, even Satan and Archangel solving a disagreement in my Storm Lord Trilogy Series. So, when I finish the novel, you will see something in "Murder in the Prairie Edge Museum,"scheduled for release in the Fall of this year, that brings out a specific scene from something from the Bible.
My story comes today from taking my infamous time machine back… way back to the 1300s before the birth of Jesus Christ. I've never gone so far back before, but I think I'm ready for the test.
(TICKLE. TICKLE. TICKLE)
We have stopped. The sun rises on the Book of Judges, which can be difficult to understand sometimes about how Righteousness in a World Without Rights or Wrongs can possibly exist.
When we point to wholesome examples of relationships in the Bible to strengthen our own relationships or marriages, we obviously don't mean to talk about the so-called "love story" between a man and woman known as Samson and Delilah. However, until this broadcast, I didn't know that.
For those unfamiliar with the story...
Samson, a judge God had appointed over Israel, decided to disrupt every rule in the book. Even though his family took a Nazarite vow, he didn’t follow the guidelines by any stretch. Instead, he wreaked havoc and revenge on the Philistines in often violent ways, but worst of all…he fell heads over heels in love with Delilah.

A REPLAY: Memorial Day Tribute to Friendship & Patriotism 'Home Alive By ‘45’ Operation Magic Carpet 2021 Operation Magic Carpet was the most extensive combined air and sealift ever organized during wartime. Elmer A. Struss, my father, was an officer in the Navy, one of many assigned this task and helped bring back home millions of soldiers at the end of WWII. It was called… by all the servicemen and women as the scope expanded worldwide as “Home Alive By ’45!”
My special presentation on this Memorial Weekend is of the First Nighttime Torpedo Drop in Naval History, Operation Magic Carpet, and action in the theater of Northern Africa. Today, my words are a tribute to the patriotism about Eagle Lake, Texas’ Three Musketeers, as they were known in school in the 1920s and 1930s… Robert Jack “Coogie” Ney, Elmer Struss and Freddie Frnka..
Over my entire life growing up, I heard some pretty wild stories of these three men who fought for our country during World War II. The stories I heard and some treasured pictures from the 1920s dug out of Antonio & Cleopatra cigar boxes go way back before the War. As a matter of fact, before relating their wartime contributions, I want to talk about something else amazing between the three… their FRIENDSHIP with each other.
Let’s first talk about friendship and the differences in levels of friendship.
Good friends are those that care for each other…close friends really understand one another… but ladies and gentlemen, TRUE FRIENDS, stay forever…beyond all words and beyond all distances, beyond all boundaries… wherever they might move to and between one another and absolutely beyond time itself…!
You know, speaking from personal experience, we all have made friends in our lives over the years. I suppose I got started in Mrs. Mina Kveton’s Kindergarten Class in 1956, and still to this very day, some of those friends I made then as a six-year-old are true friends… even though we lost contact with each other as we grew older. We make as adults and stay in touch with other friends as long as we live close to, and it’s convenient to stay in touch, but then over time, one moves away, or busy schedules slowly pull us apart, and we start to lose touch. Those friendships fall into what I call the good friends' category.
But then, there’s that last group of friends – those we all call our true friends or, in my granddaughter’s language of today, BFFs – they are those we have a mutual caring about. We understand each other’s hearts, and where bonds are formed between us that span any distance in proximity… from one side of the world to the other and where the bonds run so deep that no amount of time apart or lack of words being said between us, will change the way we feel about those friends. These, my loyal listeners, are our true friends, and when one comes into your life, cherish it for all its worth!

Who Really Shot Abraham Lincoln at the Ford Theater?
Bam!!! The other shot heard around the world. The Civil War in America had just ended, and all the major newspapers around the North and South began printing their stories. However, when the dust cleared enough to see, John Wilkes Booth was designated the fall guy of this historical event.
Hello everyone, Sidney St. James here with my podcast on writing the Abraham Lincoln Assassination Series several years ago. Some of you have learned that I have got this niche of being able to go back in time "in my virtual time machine" and put myself in peoples' shoes. I did this many times in my genealogy studies and did this when I wrote the five-book series on the Lincoln Assassination.
It was the evening of April 14, 1865. According to the Northern newspapers, the War Between the States had ended, and Washington City celebrated. President Abraham Lincoln entered the balcony at Ford's Theater to a standing ovation: a sign of a return to everyday life in America.
The following morning, just a few minutes before 7:30, President Abe Lincoln was dead, and assassin J. Wilkes Booth became one of the, if not THE most, infamous figures in all U. S. history.
But now, 157 years since the one-shot from a derringer pistol, conspiracy theories still abound in America. I suppose you can say it was one of the most egregious "fake news" cover-ups in all of American history.
"What if I were to come right out and tell you John Wilkes Booth didn't fire the gun that killed President Lincoln? What if I was to say to you he actually died in Oklahoma many, many years later? What if I tell you the Secretary of War was secretly in on the plot to kill the President? What if I were to tell you the Catholic Church was knee-deep in all of it from the start?
All these questions come from the writing of the actual court transcripts and autopsy reports, and other items of interest in a five-book series, "The Lincoln Assassination Series." Since going to college in my early days, I have been a historian. I love history, either from the Bible or our own American History. Although I majored in History at A&M for a few semesters, I graduated without a degree in that field, but I still remain very interested in the Assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. My 5-book series, which would be 6 books, began at President Lincoln's bedside when he passed away on April 15, 1865, at 7:22 in the morning.
I know you might go out and find that there is not a sixth novel. This is because I elected to not write the one on the conspiracy theories. However, I will say there is much evidence in all the digital archives that will make you think that there was more to only one man pulling the trigger on a single-shot derringer pistol!
In my review of the piles of digital archives when investigating the President's death and going over eyewitness reports to write the original five novels, there are actually pieces of this evidence that going reveals a "secret shooter" and cover-up that stretches from Washington City all the way to the Catholic Church.
So, thank's for joining me today as I discuss briefly the many areas that don't make sense… there's still more to the story!

MOTHER'S DAY – A TRIBUTE TO MY MOM
Hello everyone. Sidney St. James, your host for today's show.
It's the time of year when we stop and pay honor to the first woman we have ever loved, our mothers. Mothers are superheroes... our greatest American Hero. They do it all. No matter how challenging life gets, moms have a way of making everything so much better. As most of you probably already know, my mother, Dorothy (Dot), has now gone to Heaven, as I've discussed her on other broadcasts. I even nicknamed her the Queen of the House. She could light up a room with her broad smile. Mom raised me up to love the Lord and be tough, so when I came up against hurdles and fell, I could get back up, brush myself off, and keep on with my race. I could count on my Mom for anything, and she had the best sense of humor, which I am happy I inherited. My Mother, DOROTHY MAUREEN SLATON STRUSS, is no longer with us, but every year on Mother's Day, I can't help but think about her and all the fun times growing up with her in my mind and my heart. From planting tulips around the house to the Blue Lilly of the Nile in various places of the yard. Today, Mother's Day, I would like to open up with a passage about Mother's Day, found on Page 313 in my Novel "Faith – Seventy Times Seven." Again, thanks for joining me on this special day as we all celebrate our mothers and stepmothers, past and present!

EPISODE 10
PREQUEL TO MOTHER'S DAY PODCAST
**THE TRUE STORY OF THE REVEREND MRS. ADA CASTON SLATON BONDS OF THE CUMBERLAND PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
(A MOVIE ON THE SILVER SCREEN SCRIPT ALMOST COMPLETE... WATCH FOR IT IN THEATERS IN 2023)**
In yellowed and dogeared Red Chief notebooks dating from 1914 to the 1960s, she told a part of her memoirs of the difficulties of being accepted as a woman in the church.
One Sunday, a man walked out of her church, the Progress Cumberland Presbyterian Church, outside the small town of Pleasant Hill, Louisiana. Having not researched the congregation before visiting, he was apparently appalled to discover the pastor of this tiny house of worship was a woman. Yep, that’s right… a woman preaching the Word of God. Can you imagine that? He wrote to her later to explain that if she would just go and STUDY THE BIBLE, then she would come to the understanding that women were not allowed to teach men about Christ. This was in 1918 when the Progress Cumberland Presbyterian Church was celebrating its 8th Birthday. This same woman applied for ordination with the Presbyterian Church in 1914 at this same church when it was only four years old. According to her writings, it didn't bother her as she had dealt with this kind of mentality for the last 6 years. In her own words, she said, "That's how long it took for the Cumberland Presbyterian Church to give me my ordination as a minister in the church after my first application. That's how long it took for me to pass every known obstacle they threw at me. How did the stranger put it, "GO AND STUDY MY BIBLE."
The full true story can be found inFAITH - SEVENTY TIMES SEVEN. Caution must be exercised because some of Ada's struggles are quite graphical and in some cases, violence will break your heart! This story is true! One that ends with the Ku Klux Klan No. 60 taking matters into their own hands to protect who they called the Mother of All Presbyteries... the woman they said reflected PURE WOMANHOOD!

Episode 9
DID YOU ALWAYS WANT TO BE A SUPERHERO WHEN YOU WERE GROWING UP?
Hello everyone! Sidney St. James here with another exciting and different kind of subject matter than I usually talk about on my podcasts. Last night, I had a dream… a dream that seemed so real. Not the kind Martin Luther King had, but one that was totally different. As I always do during such a dream, after I wakened in sweat and threw the covers off me, I jumped up and ran to my computer and began typing. I learned from attending one of Stephen King's webinars that is where his best stories come from. So, I rushed to my laptop at 2:30 in the morning and began writing. Whatever IT was, a red glow hung above my three brother's beds in what our dad once called the mule stables. It was 1965. Then, my brothers all started screaming, and then suddenly, there was total silence. The red glow disappeared. I sat in bed with my knees up, held by my two arms, rocking back and forth. It was then that I began my next novel, my version of "The Body Snatchers! – It Happened One Night"
Well, that's not what this post is about, but it does deal with dreams. In my case today, it deals with dreams of flying and superheroes.
I sometimes wonder if this kind of post is a good idea.
Self-disclosure can be a dominant teaching aid when applied judiciously, and I've used it with my kids and, believe it or not, with my employees from time to time in the earlier businesses I once owned. But, after all the years I've lived on this Earth, I find that it gets a little eerie when splattered about on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media, and I end up learning way too much about some people, more than we would probably like to know. Many of us feel like we're the only one experiencing a situation. We are surprised to learn that others have gone through the same darn thing or something much similar. So, at the peril of appearing self-absorbed and egotistic, I share experiences and hopefully lessons learned from my own life, hoping that it may help someone else who might be struggling with their own issues. I bet you're like me if you will just admit it. I often used to ask myself what my ole Dad would do. After he told me, I would immediately run, and I did the opposite. See, right there, I listened and learned!
So, again, thanks for joining me for my broadcast today. I hope you enjoy my story of my brothers and me, who once were the Greatest of American Superheroes!

Top of the Day, Everyone! This is Sidney St. James, your host today, as we talk about the POWER OF PRAYER. Sometimes I think the most challenging part of being a Christian is acknowledging that there are many of our friends and family we hold deeply in our hearts who do not agree with the same convictions as we do. They don’t recognize Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior; they may not even acknowledge God. It might be parents, siblings, maybe even our children or nieces, nephews, friends, and neighbors. As a Christian, no matter, who that person is, it causes me pain, anxiety, and fear and I am sure it does you to.
As a father, grandfather, and Godfather to many little ones, many people do in fact, in my life do fit into the non-Christian type. This, my friends, causes me so much pain, but mostly, it makes me very fearful.
I know exactly where I will be when I leave this life, and that thought gives me great pleasure. It really does. But I also know it’s only by the grace of God and my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that I’ve been given that opportunity. It was handed to me as a choice, and I took it. I chose it.
I also know that on that big day of judgment,
every knee shall bow, and EVERY tongue will confess.

EPISODE 6
1375-1300 BC
Samson and Delilah's Shocking Love Story
From the Book of Judges in the Bible
Hello everyone. Your host Sidney St. James with you today. I had been "clicking" up a storm on my novel No. 51, a murder mystery called "Murder in the Prairie Edge Museum," when suddenly, a thought hit me. I don't understand why this occurs, but I was way up in the present day in my hometown murder mystery when I thought of another loving relationship from way back in 1350 BC. I know… how in the world could a romance mystery novel written in 2022 have anything to do with a romance so far back in Biblical Times. Right? Well, I think of all sorts of romances when writing a book and the one I wish to talk to you today about is a duzzy. And you think Judas was an awful betrayest. You've got another thing coming today.
In my first episode of Season 3, I mention that most of my novels have some sort of input from the Bible. Maybe it's only a prayer, dream, or thought before pulling a trigger, but there's always something. Oh, and yes, even Satan and Archangel solving a disagreement in my Storm Lord Trilogy Series. So, when I finish the novel, you will see something in "Murder in the Prairie Edge Museum,"scheduled for release in the Fall of this year, that brings out a specific scene from something from the Bible.
My story comes today from taking my infamous time machine back… way back to the 1300s before the birth of Jesus Christ. I've never gone so far back before, but I think I'm ready for the test.
(TICKLE. TICKLE. TICKLE)
We have stopped. The sun rises on the Book of Judges, which can be difficult to understand sometimes about how Righteousness in a World Without Rights or Wrongs can possibly exist.
When we point to wholesome examples of relationships in the Bible to strengthen our own relationships or marriages, we obviously don't mean to talk about the so-called "love story" between a man and woman known as Samson and Delilah. However, until this broadcast, I didn't know that.
For those unfamiliar with the story...
Samson, a judge God had appointed over Israel, decided to disrupt every rule in the book. Even though his family took a Nazarite vow, he didn’t follow the guidelines by any stretch. Instead, he wreaked havoc and revenge on the Philistines in often violent ways, but worst of all…he fell heads over heels in love with Delilah.

Episode 5
Finding the Foe for Satan to Battle in
"The Three Keys of Armageddon"
**What Are Archangels in the Bible?
How Many Archangels Are There?**
Welcome everyone today. I'm Sidney St. James,your host. Thanks for joining me in discussing the making of "The Storm Lord Trilogy Series," a paranormal romance. Beginning right away in my opening narrative, I wrote a paranormal romance series where the main characters were Satan and Angelica Thompson, a prolific writer who moves to Black Rock Cove in Oregon. She goes for a walk her first night and experiences something she's just not sure what it was or what really happened. Was it a dream? Was she playing out a part of her new novel? Was it something she ate that gave her hallucinations?
While Satan is one of two of the main characters in the book, I had just finished the second book, "Nine Months Will Tell," when I watched the movie Twilight's concluding novel portrayed in that series. Wow, right? That ending was absolutely FANTASTIC! Well, I knew I needed to take my time and develop a dramatic conclusion to my series, as well. So, who better to give Satan a run for his money than his baby brother, Archangel Michael? So, my research began to complete studying the Chief of Angels for God, and today, my notes are presented on What are Archangels in the Bible?
Archangel Michael is God's No. 1 Angel, leading all the angels in heaven. He is also known as Saint Michael. Many scholars around the world say that Michael means "Who is like God?"
Michael's main characteristics are extraordinary strength and courage. Michael battles for good to prevail over evil and empowers believers to set their faith in God on fire with passion. In addition, he protects and defends people who love God. He is known to help carry their souls to heaven. Wow! Now, that is just the kind of person I needed to fight such great evil as Lucifer. The only thing I needed was an answer from my wife to the question, "People expect Archangel Michael to defeat Satan. Should I have Satan defeating him in the final novel?" Well… she gave me her answer, but I don't always listen to her.
In further research, I found the Sword of Defense, which I buried in a cave to be found, but not without Satan almost stopping the discovery. Now get this… my wife sits across from me in her own office and is the go-to person when I am trying to decide if "I kill off a character or let good win or evil." Believe it or not, she reads lots of books and says what's on her mind. If I could, I would dedicate all my novels to her, but she knows that, and that's what matters.

Season 3 Episode 4 EASTER SUNDAY – THE RESURRECTION A SERIES: PART 3 OF 3 APRIL 21, 2022
Welcome, everyone, to my Easter Podcast for this year. This is your host, Sidney St. James. I still remember a small brick building outside Coushatta, Louisiana, called the Bethany Cumberland Presbyterian Church, where I attended my grandmother, the Reverend Ada Caston Slaton Bonds' Easter Sermon. Although there still remain notes from many of her sermons from the early 1900s, a few pages still remained where she spoke of Good Friday and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Reverend Ada Slaton Bonds put everything she had each year into her Easter sermons. They were always one of the key messages she would preach every year. If your church is like most, you will see the highest number of visitors all year long, whether in person or virtually via Youtube Live or Facebook Live streaming. Many of these guests aren't coming from other houses of worship but are spiritual seekers attending the broadcast to learn why Easter matters. But it's not just about attendance. My Easter Podcast matters because we are celebrating the most climactic event of human history—the Resurrection of Jesus Christ! As I share the Story of the FIRST Easter with you today, you'll have an important opportunity to tell non-believers why Jesus' death, His burial, and His resurrection matters so much to them. My Easter Podcast is significant because of my opportunity to share the gospel, but Easter sermons tend to be more challenging because I have to come up with one every year, unlike fresh subject matter each week. I can't just repeat my Podcast or resubmit an older blog post. I need to develop a new way to engage my listening audience with the same core resurrection message I have given so many times before. So, strap in and get ready for something fresh… something meaningful… something extraordinary as we once again celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ! SOUNDBITE AFTER THE OPENING STATEMENT OF PODCAST. MAIN NARRATIVE STORY And now, on with my Story. Without the resurrection of Jesus Christ, our Christian faith hasn't any hope to stand upon. Right? But if God, in fact, raised Jesus from the dead, nothing else really matters, and no one can argue that Christianity isn't true. I know I said "IF," but follow me in my message, and it will all become clear. All Christians doubt their devotion from time to time, for whatever reason it might be. Plus, it's Easter Sunday when I produced this Podcast, and I know I'm talking to non-believers, as well. So, it's an ideal time to help believers and non-believers understand just how reliable the historical accounts of the resurrection are. If this isn’t your first time hearing my show, you already know I'm a history nut. Lol. I know I'm talking history now, and that takes into account more than one reading of each of the scriptures I based my presentation on today. Remember. The first reading is the reflection reading… just what you think you read. Then, you go back and read it more slowly and look at each word as you interpret what you're reading. Because Christ's resurrection is at the hub of the Christian faith, you can locate a variety of scriptures touching on the validity of the resurrection. However, for this Podcast, it's best to narrow our focus to passages highlighting eyewitnesses to the resurrection and those who recorded the gospels who recorded their scriptures from listening to a story two times removed.

Episode 3
On Thursday, Judas – The Kiss of Death
A Series: Part 2 of 3-Part Podcast
Hello Everyone. Thank you for joining me for Part II of my Easter Series, "Judas – The Kiss of Death." This is your host, Sidney St. James, to give you my ideas of why Judas betrayed Jesus, if he, in fact, betrayed him. Many inconsistencies and irrational aspects of Judas' actions in the gospels challenge his traditional depiction. As I always do, I study the scriptures repeatedly before I comment. First, Judas' can't be proven guilty of betrayal from the accounts in the Gospels. Instead, he is charged as a greed-infested traitor who broke his sacred connection to Jesus.
However, one cannot determine Judas' finite motive for betrayal from the Gospel accounts. Why did he do what he did? The lack of agreement in these testimonials does raise many questions about the historical accuracy of 2000 years ago about Judas Iscariot.
Although many people followed Jesus throughout his ministry, sometimes providing houses and sometimes caring for his biological needs such as food, most of us know that Jesus had twelve followers he especially selected. These would make up the twelve apostles of Jesus. The most infamous is Judas Iscariot, who, after two and a half years of following Jesus during Jesus' public ministry, turned his very good friend over to the religious leaders to be tried and ultimately crucified. So, again I ask you, why in the world did Judas betray Jesus?
After all, if I think back to my high school days at Eagle Lake High School or college years at Texas A&M, I can't help but remember close friends who stuck with me for three-plus years in college and twelve years in high school… even if we had a falling out with them, could I possibly imagine betraying them and leading them to their deaths? I surely hope not!
How far past scandalous is the idea that a man who spent every day with Jesus for almost three long years suddenly turned his back on him almost overnight. In this presentation today, we'll discuss why Judas deceived Jesus and why in the world did Judas ended his own life when he recognized the repercussions of his dealings.
Let's get on with the show now. And again, thanks for dropping by today!

Jesus Christ's Last Supper with His Disciples Part I of Three-Part Podcast
Were You There the Day Jesus Died
17 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?" 18 He replied, "Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, 'The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.'" 19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover. 20 When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve. 21 And while they were eating, he said, "Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me." 22 They were unfortunate and began to say to him one after the other, "Surely you don't mean me, Lord?" 23 Jesus replied, "The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me. 24 The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he were not born." 25 Then Judas, who would betray him, said, "Surely you don't mean me, Rabbi?" Jesus answered, "You have said so." 26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." 27 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29 I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom." 30 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

SEASON 3
EPISODE 1
HAVE YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO PUBLISH A BOOK YOU WROTE OR ARE THINKING ABOUT WRITING?
IT'S EASIER THAN YOU THINK!
Hello everyone. Welcome to the start of Season 3. Today I thought about changing up a little on what I want to talk about to something that has taken me a lot of years to accomplish, Publish my Own Book. I have often got questions from authors on how to bring a book they wrote to fruition, especially now that I am tying so many podcasts to certain novels I've written. And, a long-lost cousin called me out of the blue and asked me how hard is it to publish a book they had on in their word processor for years about the Olympics.
This Podcast today might be something for you or someone in your family or a friend on the Pickleball Courtthat said they have an excellent idea for a book like my good friend who could easily write a book about the Pharmaceutical Industry, a man who I suggest you don't try to lob the ball over his head in Pickleball. It is nerve-wracking to figure out how to get a book published for the first time, but it doesn't have to be an alarming prospect! There are many ways to publish a book, and it has taken me years to figure just that out. And today, I will share what has worked for me and what hasn't with you. I'm not trying to sell something here. I just know that I will go over the ups and downs and give you what I finally settled on, and it works... 100% guaranteeeeeee! It will clear up all the stress and search and watch one YouTube channel. Stay tuned…
How Hard Is It Really to Actually Publish a Book?
Writing a novel for the very first time can be arduous! I began to learn genealogy in the 1970s while attending Texas A&M University. Today, I am still learning new things. I studied microfilm ship lists and families from Germany who immigrated to the United States in my research. It was amazing how much adversity my family faced in the horse and buggy days, leaving their homeland and coming to Texas. They were from a small town called Rastedein Oldenburg, Germany. They sailed out through the North Sea, crossed the Atlantic, and came to the shores of Texas near a small town of today called Matagorda, Texas.

Over a decade ago, I produced two large family history books well over 700 pages in length. Then, a man from Denver offered me $30,000 to create one like I did for the Smith Family. The answer to why I turned it down was because the number of hours it took me to finish this family genealogy history was far more hours than what minimum wage would have been on writing the record.
Furthermore, I began a significant undertaking and did a genealogy study starting with Adam and Eve in Genesis.
There has been a lot written about Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and the tragic story of their first two boys. However, much less was said about their son Seth, an obscure Old Testament figure who biblical genealogies demonstrate was an ancestor to some very important people.
From Seth, I expanded my genealogy study using Family Tree Maker, which I have been associated with since Day 1 back in the 90s. But, now, let's take a look at what the Bible tells us about Adam and Eve and Cain and Abel so that we understand Seth's connection to God's first human creations.
The Story of Cain and Abel While my study is filled with catastrophe, the story of Cain and Abel teaches us an important lesson about living with sincerity. Through their model, we learn how our behaviors and mindsets matter to God. It demonstrates just how devastating sin's consequences can be. It's only through God's mercy that we learn to live with the simplicity and sincerity of God. Not just by human wisdom but by the grace of God.
After Adam and Eve were driven out of the Garden of Eden by God, they decided to begin a family. While the number of children they had is unknown, the Bible tells us that their first two were Cain and Abel, both boys. When they grew older, Cain labored in the pastures, planting and harvesting crops, and Abel became a shepherd.

Season 2
Episode 23
Who Are the Sons of God
"The Making of the Storm Lord Trilogy Series"
Who Were the Sons of God and How Did They Play a Part in the Writing of my Storm Lord Trilogy Series, a paranormal romance?
THERE WERE GIANTS ON THE EARTH IN THOSE DAYS, AND ALSO AFTER THAT. WHEN THE SONS OF GOD CAME IN UNTO MEN'S DAUGHTERS, AND THEY HAD CHILDREN TO THEM, THE SAME BECAME STRONG MEN WHICH WERE OF OLD TIMES, MEN OF NOTORIETY.
WELCOME EVERYONE TO MY SHOW TODAY. I am your host, Sidney St. James. This being the next to last episode of Season 2, I kinda wanted to start going out with a bang. I thought about how I turned to Genesis 6 in the Bible five years ago to learn about Angels for my three-book series. Book 1 - The Flaming Blue Sword, Book 2 - Nine Months Will Tell, and the conclusion, Book 3 - The Three Keys to Armageddonformed the Storm Lord Trilogyand began from notes from Genesis 6. Wow, it seems like only yesterday we kicked off our second season and are today, our Finale of the season presenting to you from my notes when building the three novels mentioned with, "Who Were the Sons of God?" This question comes from the Old Testament and, as you find out, not Jesus Christ, the only begotten son of God. I will again preempt this broadcast by saying I am not an ordained minister. I am just a fun-loving novelist who interprets certain Bible scriptures to write many of my books, much like journalists did when interpreting the scriptures for their front page newspapers' articles during the civil war.
So, today, we will be looking at verses 1 - 6 of Genesis in the Old Testament. I saved my most thought-provoking episode for last, and you will see why. I will do my very best to attempt an interpretation of the verses as I did when I was writing the final episode of my Storm Lord Trilogy Series Battle Scene.
But, today, we will tear apart these verses and see, just like our ancestors did in the Civil War in my Lincoln Assassination Series, how the South and the North interpreted the scriptures totally differently. So, my podcast today for today is to provoke thought only.
Genesis 6 speaks about the Sons of God who saw the daughters of men and found them beautiful and kind and took them as their wives and married them. So, from this Chapter, we will begin our interpretation and give you a lot to think about. The Final Chapter in my Storm Lord Trilogy Series had its dramatic conclusion from this interpretation. Did God have more than one son? Of course, not. But, if not, then who were the Sons of God as discussed in Genesis 6. Well, my story is about to begin. Thanks for being with me on our Finale of Season 2 of the Sidney St. James Show.

Hello Everyone, and welcome to my show today. A longtime friend from Old Progress Cumberland Church near Pleasant Hill, Louisiana, called me the other day and asked me about my Grandmother, the Reverend Ada Slaton Bonds, and how in the world she found forgiveness over and over. They had just finished reading my novel, Faith – Seventy Times Seven. It brought to my mind how we all study the Bible.
I remember standing in a jewelry store a few days ago, and a young girl walked up to her mother and asked, "Mommy, why is that man hanging on a cross?" Later that day, I heard a song on a gospel music station called Jesus is King. I never had in the past, but this time I somewhat wondered to myself, "King of what?" And lastly, there was a quote on my Facebook Page that said, "Jesus is the Answer!" I don't know why, but I had to stop what I was doing and contemplate, "What was the question?" Depending on who you ask, you will get different answers to the question let me ask you. "Did King David commit adultery? Did he actually sin with Bathsheba?" Oh, and yes, King David is the same man who killed the giant with a slingshot!
Let me begin by First saying, as a general rule, you read the scripture. This is what I did when I wrote "Genesis," "Seeing the Power of God," "Hallelujah," and "Faith – Seventy Times Seven." After this first time reading the scripture, which is the subject of my Podcast today, King David and Bathsheba, you come away with an individual reflection of what you just read, and this first reflection is how the book was written and how many people define what they read as gospel.
But, now, I ask you to go back, start over, and read that same scripture in 2nd Samuel Chapter 11 & 12. Sit there a moment and say to yourself… what else? Let's halt for a second and think deeply about the story of Bathsheba and King David. Your first impression of what you read is always inadequate. This first impression we read is yours… or mine when we read the scriptures. That's an important question… what else? The first time you read the story is usually only the tip of the iceberg. There are so many commentators, college essays, debates, etc. This first reflection is endless on what each person gets from the story.

As an author with over 50+ novels written in various genres, I must admit, the ones that I enjoy almost more so than the others are those written about the Power of God, such as in some of my novels called, “Seeing the Power of God” or “Genesis – Stepping Onto the Shore and Finding It’s Heaven”or “Hallelujah – He is not here, He Has Risen.”
I can go through the back of my mind where all my memories lie and remember books that I wrote, church services attended and recall a number of things that dramatically impacted my life, my thinking, my attitude, and my way of living. However, there is nothing that has influenced me more than the Cross and the sermons given every Sunday at the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Pleasant Hill, Louisiana.
The cross is much more than just a symbol that stand in front of a church or high up on the steeple above. It symbolizes the beginning point, the first start of my spiritual journey with Jesus Christ.
In other words, it is the beginning point of life for me.
The scripture indicates that our Savior had done all that was required to satisfy Divine Justice and had reclaimed the birthright of all humankind right back from that cotton-pickin’ Satan himself.
Jesus Christ paid the penalty for all sins. His blood that is shed upon the cross would open the door for whosoever will to come out from the dark… out from the dark into the light, from sin to salvation. Jesus paid a debt that he didn’t owe so that I and all of you listeners could go free… pardoned of your sin. Yep, the cross my dear friend is a true treasure!

SEASON 2 EPISODE 22: THE FALL OF THE ALAMO - THE RUNAWAY SCRAPE
In 1899, after living in Texas for over 60 years, Dilue Rose Harris (1825–1914) recorded her childhood memories of the Texas Revolution. Her handwritten account of the Runaway Scrape speaks to the hardship civilian families endured while trying to flee from Texas in 1836, and the actual handwritten copies are with the Bullock Museum in downtown Austin. In addition, I have a copy on yellowed pages that were typed and corrections made by a family member in the early 1900s.
In my first edition, The Yellow Rose, and later in the second edition, The Rose of Brays Bayou, I found it more exciting to write about all the women's adversities as they tried to escape Santa Anna's wrath. Just as an example.
There was a mention in the book of a man trying to carry his horse across a swollen rushing creek. It mentioned an alligator with its tail in the air. That's all. From duck hunting on the large Eagle Lake that surrounds our small town, I ran into a mother alligator protecting her young more than once. She takes the job seriously. And there were stories of guides crossing the circle they were swimming, and the gator would cut their canoe in half with its tail. I used this knowledge to address a more exciting narrative regarding the alligator in the book. Nowadays, this is called "Creative Historical Nonfiction." The fact or the truth is that a man lost his life cutting across the path of the gator. All the added description was to make it sound more exciting to read.
Dilue was 10 years old when her family hurriedly moved east to escape the approaching Mexican Army in March 1836. As rumors circulated that the Mexican Army was approaching, the Rose family began preparing to leave. Dr. Rose finished planting his corn and hid some of the family's nicer furnishings and clothing while Mrs. Rose packed provisions for the journey. When news arrived of the Alamo's fall, the family joined the exodus known as the Runaway Scrape.
The Rose family journeyed 60 miles from their home in Stafford's Point, just west of present-day Houston, to Liberty, crossing the San Jacinto and Trinity rivers along the way. Unfortunately, one of Dilue's little sisters became ill during the trip and died, prompting the Roses to remain in Liberty for several weeks to rest and bury their daughter. While there, Dilue celebrated her 11th birthday. The family had barely left Liberty to continue east when news came of the victory at San Jacinto. Jubilant, the family turned around and went home. When they arrived on May 1, 1836, they found their community pillaged and their house in shambles. Thankfully the corn crop was ready for harvest, and the supplies Dr. Rose had hidden were safe.

SEASON 2
EPISODE 20
Friday Night Lights
At Eagle Lake High School
Growing Up in the 1950s and 1960s
Hello Everyone. Today we've got a good one for you. Two weeks ago, I did a show talking about the consolidation of small town high schools and its damage to communities. So many have just withered away, and even some have disappeared. The broadcast was about Eagle Lake High School in Texas.
Well, my reviews and voice mail filled up after that broadcast. I was surprised by many of the comments. They said, "Sidney, you were too kind." I thought, "too kind," well maybe so. But, the most responses I got was to give a broadcast about the "good ole days" attending Eagle Lake High School in the 1950s and 1960s, something upbeat and not so dreary.
One of my listeners wrote, "Coming from a large city outside of the states I've always wondered if the small towns depicted in a show like Friday Night Lights and the show was like all realistic - that being there wasn't a whole lot to do, high school football was huge, everyone sort of knowing each other, and church/religion being important. Any truth to any of these "stereotypes"? Also, is it true that most small towns are dying as people move to larger cities?" So today, I will answer my listener's question. I suppose if my mind was sharper, I could remember more, but for now, my dear friends, I offer you the memories of growing up in a small town and attending what was called a "state-of-the -art architecture of Eagle Lake High School." Of course, that statement was made in 1926. So without further ado, here we go, and again, thanks for dropping by today.

EPISODE 19
THE GOOD SAMARITAN – A Story from “Seeing the Power of God" by Sidney St. James**
Hello Everyone.
Today I have a story to tell, one that I wrote about in one of my novels,Seeing the Power of God. I am telling the story because I stopped in a parking lot across the street yesterday and watched a man pushed down into the street and was barely able to crawl back onto the grass median. I watched as numerous people walked by without lifting a finger to help him. Finally, I walked across the street and helped him up. I smiled and felt good that I helped him when no one else would. I gave him five dollars and was on my way.
As I drove down the street to the Georgetown Rec Center for my morning Pickleball game, the wheels were turning in my head. I felt so good I was able to help someone and my only thoughts during this time were of Jesus Christ. After all, he has filled my heart many, many times before.
Why? Why you might ask did I think of Jesus. Because I thought of his parable, the one about the Good Samaritan in the Bible. And with that, I wish to tell my story about how the one time I was the Priest in the story and another when I was a Good Samaritan…

SEASON 2
EPISODE 18
WHO WAS MARY ELIZABETH SURRATT, AND WHY WAS SHE THE FIRST WOMAN EXECUTED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT?
Hello Everyone. And, in particular, all you women listening. Today I have a big question for you. But, before you listen to this broadcast, you should read my novel, or after listening, go and read it before you give me a more informed answer about MARY ELIZABETH SURRATT, this podcast's subject matter.
We have all heard the name John Wilkes Boothmany times growing up and taking history classes in school. It is a name our teachers highlight and discuss in those classes all day long in school, but little is taught or discussed about the 300+ other people who were thrown in the "clinker" with ties to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.
Then, a final decision was made on who to try in court and all the powerful generals and colonels for the North were assigned to listen to the case and decide who was to be punished. But before I begin my story, I would like to ask an important question to all women listening if they were in high school in the 1950s? Then, how many women listening were in high school in the 1960s?
Mary Elizabeth Surratt was executed by the U.S. government for her role as a conspirator in Abraham Lincoln's assassination. Available for review was the entire transcript of the trial from where the story in the fifth novel of the Lincoln Assassination Series was developed. Remember in earlier broadcasts how I have used my genealogy research of behavior patterns to draw a conclusion of what kind of person I was researching. Well, the story of Mary Elizabeth Surratt was no different. When I was finished, I must say that she was not guilty. But, that is my opinion only and I have given it lots of thought of the times and women's rights, which by the way were few and far between in 1865, no matter what the color of one's skin was. See my two-novel historical romance with a setting in the Civil War. It is called “I Am Woman.”

**Season 2 Episode 17
God Calls First Woman to Preach in Louisiana
Reverend Ada Slaton Bonds of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church
Progress Cumberland Presbyterian Church
Old Bethany Cumberland Presbyterian Church**
On December 23, 1969, Reverend Loyce Estes with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church addressed the congregation at the funeral services. "The dignified First Lady of the Louisiana Presbytery is dead. Vibrantly alive are the articles of faith that constitute our legacy. May her mantle fall on us prayerfully."
Reverend Mrs. Ada Caston Slaton Bonds is one of the most colorful ministers produced by the great Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Beyond a doubt, she overcame more difficulties and passed through more heartaches than any minister ever known to preach the 'Whosoever Will' gospel. Miss Ada, as all affectionately called her, possessed countless prodigies. By way of the corridors of her ministerial career, she helped shape the lives and mold the character of a great number of young ministers, who, today, rise up and call her 'blessed.'
God sent her His Divine calling to preach. She then learned to preach. She carved out a place for herself among the clergy that was unique, without comparison. With bottomless emotion, genuine poise, and true dignity, Miss Ada became the First Lady of the Cloth in the Louisiana Presbytery and had the highest honor bestowed upon her, the title of Mother of All Presbyteries.
Brother Kerans finished the Sunday morning services by calling on Reverend Paul Covey Johnson, standing by her frail and physical body awaiting its final resting place in the Old Bethany Cumberland Presbyterian Church cemetery outside Coushatta, Louisiana.
He began her final epitaph. "I'm walking along the seashore. A ship is floating near to me, spreading her white sails as it begins a voyage that takes Miss Ada further and further out into the ocean. She's a powerful vessel, one of beauty and strength. I watch her until she looks like a disappearing speck of a fluffy cloud where the horizon of the sea and sky intermingle with one another.
Then I realized her diminished size was in me, not in her. 'Look there...She is gone!' Nelson, along with Ada's brother Lilburn were standing together with eager eyes watching from one of the twelve gates to heaven. There are beautiful angels stationed at each of the entrances. Looking more closely, she sees her mother and father standing near Lilburn. There are smiles on all their faces and a happy and content look to their demeanor, standing and waiting there to take up the welcomed shout: 'HERE SHE COMES!'

**SEASON 2 EPISODE 15
EAGLE LAKE HIGH SCHOOL,
GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN**
The Significance of a High School to a Rural Community
Today, most of America’s population now resides in either the urban or suburban areas, and consequently, most Americans don’t struggle with the big question of whether their community can maintain its own high school. Nevertheless, this question continued to confront many rural dwellers in all states, one of these was the folks living in Eagle Lake, Texas. Before undertaking my writing career in full gear, I wrote three books. Book 1 and then Book 2 and 3 of Eagle Lake High School, A Pictorial History. While researching the writing of these books, I came to the 1968 Eagle Lake Headlight, where it showed the town’s people voting to consolidate all the schools in the county. However, this research demonstrated that Weimar and Columbus, Texas elected to keep their schools.
During my research, I decided to examine the consequences of the cities in our counties that voted to close down their respective schools. This included those who voted to keep theirs. What follows is an action research project intended to examine the consequences of keeping or removing a school from a rural community, particularly Eagle Lake High School. The subjects in this study are Garwood and Sheridan towns that exist a mere ten miles from one another, and Columbus and Weimar that exist about the same distance from one another. The towns that kept their school today continue to sustain themselves, while the towns that lost their school have almost disappeared, or at least the downtown areas have. Garwood, Sheridan, and Eagle Lake are three small communities that have existed over a hundred and fifty years just a few miles apart along rural Highways 71 and Alt 90. They are relatively typical for rural communities in Texas. They all serve as hubs for area rice farmers for many years, and each had its own schools, banks, churches, department stores, doctors, auto and tractor repair businesses, and other similar kinds of enterprise. The two towns were established by hearty pioneers when five miles was a tiring distance on horseback and a lengthy journey by carriage. It didn’t seem unusual for two cities to exist so close together in the last half of the nineteenth century. The circumstances that make an examination of these two tiny communities so interesting now is that one has declined in population to the point that almost all its businesses and services are gone, at least in the entire downtown districts. Worse yet, it has lost both of its high schools. Nevertheless, it is clinging to existence with the steadfast commitment of a handful of proud citizens who don’t want to lose their town.
Dave Henry of the country western singing duo, popular at the Backroom in Austin Texas in the 70s and 80s has made a guest appearance. He will sing a song about small towns disappearing from rural Texas. Steven Fromholz’s “Texas Trilogy” is one of the best works ever written about life in rural Texas. Like all great songs, “Daybreak,” “Trainride,” and “Bosque County Romance” stand the test of time and the perpetual recycling of popular culture. They seem to take on greater meaning as the decades slip by and our modern world explodes with growing conflict and confusion, including what happens to small towns when they lose something so important to them like a High School or a Railroad. Unlike the song, Eagle Lake continues to hang on, but its decayed, in the author's opinion, due to the loss of Eagle Lake High School which has now become Rice Consolidated!

Episode 13
VALENTINE’S DAY 2022
How to Stay in Love for 50 Years!
Walking together with a good friend in the darkness is far better than walking all alone in the light!
Theoretically, you cannot define LOVE and the trueness in it!
You don't have to do many sacrifices to prove that your love is true for that one special person. Because what if life hasn't given you any chances to make any.
So, even a simple feeling of extreme care for someone makes you aware that you are all drenched in the rain of true love.
Valentine’s Day, like Christmas, has become a commercial celebration with a dozen roses that cost over a hundred bucks, increased pressure on couples to make the day perfect, and most of the time, a heightened desire to “show love” to one another since many (not all) don’t seem to take the time to do that every other day, unlike what my wife and I do.
Jules Verne loaned me his time machine. Let’s all hop in and follow me back 48 years. I know that what I will be presenting will no doubt fall in line with many of you listening to my podcast today. I am madly in love with my wedding on the horizon in Austin, Texas. My whole life together is ahead of me. Now Zoom back towards the present several years. After several years of marriage, it can be tough sometimes to remember those head-over-heels feelings you once had. Take off some of my secrets from someone who has been happy and madly in love for years (and years) I am sure is still to come.
We keep our love alive by wanting to keep our love alive. We are conscious of what doesn't align with our goal of a loving, happy, and drama-free marriage, and we eliminate that as much as possible.
Our secret to staying in love after all these years is knowing what we have in each other—knowing the value that we bring to each other's lives and that we would be less without it. We have so many years of history that talking about old times and doing things from the past brings back fond memories.

Sam Bass - A Texas Outlaw
A Dead Man's Hand, Aces and Eights
SEASON 2 EPISODE 14
ALERT! $5,000 REWARD. Wanted Dead or Alive. Notorious Badman. SAM BASS, alias Sam Bushon, and Honest Eph. If sighted, immediately call the nearest U. S. Marshall's Office... The Round Rock Shootout in 1878
Hello Everyone. Welcome to my show today. After a month of moving BeeBop Publishing Group to Georgetown, Texas, from Brenham, Texas, I took a ride south on IH-35 from Georgetown to Austin. I couldn't help but notice a large green and white highway sign that said Sam Bass Road. I became interested in where in the world this road went. So I exited and followed it to a road sign for A. W. Grimes Boulevard.
I'm not sure why, but I needed to find out who these people were just like I did when I wrote a story about the Runaway Scrape in Texas and discovered Three-Legged Willie's statue, a man who played a part in this novel, on the downtown square in Georgetown. Or captured the memoirs of Dilue Rose Harris in the Runaway Scrape or Mary Elizabeth Surratt in the Lincoln Assassination.
I always read all the old newspapers and read the memoirs before writing my stories. I will leave it to you when you read my novel, Sam Bass and his Horse Marines, and decide for yourself if he was a Robin Hood or a Murderer! And, stay with us, and at the end of this podcast, Dave Henry of the 1980s country duo group, Dan and Dave, will join us to sing the famous Ballad of Sam Bass. Now, let our story begin.

SEASON 2 EPISODE 1 - THE DAN & DAVE COUNTRY DUO GROUP FROM AUSTIN TEXAS IN THE 1970S AND 1980s
An entertaining evening with Dave Henry on the Sidney St. James Show!
First, let me tell all the folks out there that it appears almost impossible to talk with people who have ever heard of Dan & Dave (Part I), although they played in front of thousands of people at the Backroom in Austin, Texas, during the late 70s and early 80s.
For many years, his partner in crime was no other than Dan Burke, who left us last April 2021. Except for playing at the Aqua Festival once a year, their venue was the Backroom every Friday and many Saturday nights.
Dan and Dave (Part II) both were like me when I worked for KOOL99 Radio on the weekend all around Central Texas with the KOOL99 Oldies Road Show. Work 8-5 downtown Monday thru Friday and do gigs all weekend and on Sunday nights, having my own show, Fifties Fun on Sunday Nights.
Dan & Dave had a faithful accompanist by the name ofDoctor Hans Langshon, who had to drive all the way down from Temple, Texas, where he was a physician at Scott and White Hospital. He played Bass guitar. And then there was Arty Passes, who played the steel guitar. He was with Channel 36 News during the week and on stage on Friday nights with Dan & Dave.
About 6 years ago, a steel guitar player named Colm Chomicky from all the way up in Kansas was looking to find Arty and asked if anyone recalled a young steel guitar player who played with Dan & Dave in 1980. Wow, believe it or not, he got his answer when no other than ARTY replied,
“Colm… you just made my day. Yes, a young steel player was withDan & Dave at the Backroom. I’m now an old steel player with Kevin Fowler. That was the most fun I ever had at a gig. I still remember one of their bouncers by the name of Tiny. Yep, on Friday nites was always the Dan & Dave night, and it was always a full house.”
Another fellow by the name of Larry Coombs was also young back then and used to walk down to see Dan & Dave every Friday night in 1980. He said, “I’ve got an album by them, a live one. Last we heard, he has moved up the road to Lockhart, Texas."
Larry Coombs continued. Now back to just who Dan & Dave were in the Music Capital of Texas. They were best described by a Steel Guitar player from Prairie Village, Kansas. “For those who do not know about Dan & Dave, they have been described as a country “Smothers Brothers.” They played and sang their music between corny jokes about Furr’s Cafeteria. I remember once there was a ceiling fan up on the ceiling behind them on stage, and after each Lone Star longneck, they would flip the empty back over their shoulders, often hitting the rotating ceiling fan.”

THE ROAD NOT TAKEN by ROBERT FROST
LIFE IS ABOUT THE PATHS YOU
CHOOSE TO WALK THROUGH
Walking together with a good friend in the darkness is far better than walking all alone in the light!
Did I ever tell you I am a packrat? I never throw anything away. I still got the four-letter jackets I won in high school in football. And, I still have the dried flowers from the Powder Puff Football Game when I was runner-up for Homecoming King. William Brunner won the title. Wow, did my mind whirl around for a moment, and I found myself sitting in the back of the classroom at Eagle Lake High School when Mrs. Elizabeth Booth said she needed one boy and one girl to represent the class in the Regional UIL Meet for Poetry Interpretation. Only one hand went up, and it was the prettiest of all my classmates, and I didn't waste a minute… up went my hand. Gosh, I didn't even know how to spell "Interpretation," much less compete in Poetry Interpretation, but off I went to Victoria, Texas, to compete in the regional competition of Poetry Interpretation. The Poem… The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost. It was and probably still is quite a famous poem; unfortunately, its popularity comes mainly from the simple act of misreading the poetry, like I did when I had to first memorize it. I didn't know that I had no idea what I was doing at the first of getting prepared to compete in something. I was like a fish out of water. With this poem, Robert Frost gave the world a piece of writing that every individual can relate to, especially when making choices and opportunities presented to them in life.
This poem is often quoted and used with an interpretation that is not precisely "correct." The popular belief is that Frost meant for this poem to be about hope, success, and defying the odds by choosing a path, or a path that was "less traveled by." On the other hand, if the poem is reviewed, it is pretty apparent that it has fairly the opposite connotation.
It is Robert Frost's first poem in his book "Mountain Interval" that he wrote in 1916. A popular pleasantly misconstrued poem since its release, its simplicity and way with words demonstrate the skill of this poet's fountain pen.

I have never published a podcast that deals with politics and it will be a while again before I will do another. I do not like politics. I leave that to the news channels. But this is one I had to stand up and have my say!
Season 2
Special Report
Make a Choice: President Jefferson Davis or President Abraham Lincoln?
President Joseph Biden Asked Who I would rather be for, President Jefferson Davis or Abraham Lincoln? That question alone got me riled up because I lost two of my great-great-grandfathers who answered the call of the South to fight for Jefferson Davis and the Confederacy. Hello, Everyone. I am Sidney St. James, and so many times, history is written by the victors… well, that stops right here, President Joe Biden. I make my choice because I am proud of the job Jefferson Davis did and proud of the man he was!
Why is it that we know George Washington so well? Probably because he was the founding father of this here United States of America! Why do we know Abraham Lincoln? Because he was assassinated by John Wilkes Boothe. But did you know that an entire team tried to sneak into the South and assassinate Jefferson Davis first but were unsuccessful?
Never mind that. Your answer is probably no that you didn't know that because our history books were written by the victors…
In the case of the War Between the States, I found far more books in my writing of the Lincoln Assassination Series on Robert E. Lee, Ulysses S. Grant, and Abraham Lincoln than those written about Jefferson Davis. So I am here to support why my answer is what it is, President Joe Biden.
Let me begin by focusing on the President of the Confederacy, President Jefferson Davis. I am sure, if you are young, you probably said when you heard President Biden ask us to make a choice between Jefferson Davis or Abraham Lincoln, he pretty much was almost begging the South to take its leave and become a Confederacy once more. Heck, he won't even help protect our borders in the South against the Mexican Cartel, making our lives much less secure. But that's not why I’m here. I am here to demonstrate to Joe Biden why I made my choice what it is.
Why is Jefferson Davis disliked by so many in the North? Who is he… the leader of the bad guys if you listen to our President today?
Let's propose another question. How many know a lot, other than historical scholars, about Hitler, Stalin or Santa Anna… or even Jefferson Davis? Jefferson Davis would love to have a chair at the same table as Joe Biden. Before the War broke out, he knew and was good friends with so many people of the North before the states split and formed the Confederacy.

Episode 10
Jesus – The Greatest Storyteller of All Time
PODCAST INTRODUCTION
(0-30) Every day should be a day of Thanksgiving, and what better way to celebrate than to recognize the greatest storyteller of all time. No, it’s not Sidney St. James. It’s not Steve Jobs either or Martin Luther King Jr.
(2:30-3:07) It’s Jesus Christ, of course. So today my friends, I will be demonstrating how Jesus uses analogies, or more commonly known as parables, to tell his stories. So, sit back and enjoy the ride as we will kick off this episode with one of the most famous analogies that Jesus used in his story telling, The Prodigal Son. Thanks for dropping by today.
MAIN SHOW
Two weeks ago, I talked about Forgiveness and last week a story about What Does Heaven Look Like from my knowledge of some of the stories of our Bible. This was in hopes of enabling my listeners to tell them to others if the context was right for them to participate or when teaching at Sunday School Class or a Bible Group.
Something always spurs me on a subject matter for my podcasts. This one is no different. I was in Kohl's Department Store shopping for my wife, a new University of Texas Sweatshirt. When I walked up to the clerk to pay, I noticed that the checkout lady had a donations bucket on the counter for a charity that I really cared about. I put the $5 bill I received back in the change into the container. Almost right away, a person behind me, not paying any attention to social distancing, had the nerve to say aloud in front of everyone, "Why in the world would you waste good money on those folks? It could buy you an entire meal up the street at Chic-Filet!" I turned around, smiled, and quickly replied, "As a Christian, Jesus taught us that we are to help others." At that point, if I knew well enough all the 40+ parables by Jesus, I could have summarized one of the parables, the Good Samaritan, to the scoundrel behind me or told him about the poor widow lady who gave her last 2 cents to God's ministry here on earth. Or, I suppose I could have paraphrased that story into something we can all understand today yet cannot say aloud on my podcast today. You can’t tell the Parable of the Good Samaritan or the one about the poor widow or even paraphrase one of those if you have never learned those stories from church services, Sunday School lessons, or Bible Study Groups to understand how to best utilize them in real life the next time someone in your shopping line says that you are wasting money trying to help people in need. Then, I will be better ready the next time, stop the line, and not be embarrassed whatsoever and TELL MY STORY! The person behind me might very well say, "I’m sorry I asked!” Maybe, just maybe, a seed will get planted, although you’ll never know for sure! God Will!

SEASON 2 EPISODE 9
HAVE YOU EVER IMAGINED HEAVEN?
Hello Everyone. This morning on our way to Pickleball at the Georgetown Rec Center, my wife and I were talking and trying to imagine just what Heaven is like? What brought up our conversation was a song played by a group known as Mercy Me. It was a song that filled her heart from a movie we saw, “I Can Only Imagine.” Then we talked about whether we will have a house there and asked so many more questions, one after another.
So, let’s get started. And, Oh, by the way, thanks for dropping by today!
Heaven is a subject of wild guesswork. Christians around the world draw up what they think Heaven will be like. What it will be like to live there. Heaven is a real place where we, the people of God, will go after we die. So, it's not a shock that, as Christians, we wish to learn as much as we can about what it will be like. Will there be homes? What will it look like? Will we still have sin? All these questions and many more are answered directly from God’s Word, the Bible.
When we go to Heaven, we shall see the Lord face-to-face. The fact that our all-knowing, all-powerful Creator will dwell with us, and we shall know him in an even more intimate way should be sufficient for we Christians to rest assured that we will be satisfied there.
When people imagine Heaven, they sometimes picture ethereal images like angels lounging on the clouds or chubby cherubs picking the strings on their golden harps. However, to be motivated to live for the values of Heaven, maintaining a biblical mindset about eternal realities is vital.
But maintaining this perspective is difficult when we are bombarded with numerous misconceptions about Heaven in popular culture. Here are three of the most common ideas about Heaven and what the Bible says about them.

Episode 8
A BLAST FROM THE PAST – Songs that Form the Soundtrack of our Teenage Dreams
Why do the songs we heard as a teenager sound sweeter than anything we have ever listened to as an adult? In recent years, psychologists and neuroscientists have done plenty of research and have confirmed that these oldies but goodies hold disproportionate power over our emotions. And researchers have uncovered evidence that suggests our brains bind us to the music that we heard as teenagers more tightly than anything we’ll ever hear as adults—a connection that doesn’t weaken whatsoever as we age. Musical nostalgia, in other words, isn’t just a cultural phenomenon: It’s a neutronic command. And no matter how sophisticated our tastes might otherwise grow to be, our brains may stay jammed on those songs we obsessed over during the high drama during the years of our adolescence.
But memories are meaningless without emotion—and aside from love and drugs, nothing spurs an emotional reaction like music. Many research studies show that our favorite songs stimulate our brain’s pleasure circuit, which releases an influx of dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and other neurochemicals that make us feel good. A lot of big words, right! The more we like a song, the more we get treated to neurochemical bliss, flooding our brains.
Music lights these sparks of neutronic activity in everyone. But when we were young, the sparks turned into a fireworks show. Between the ages of 10 and 22, our brains undergo rapid neurological development—and the music we love during that decade seems to get wired into our lobes for the rest of our lives. When we make neural connections to a song, we also create a strong memory trace that becomes overloaded with heightened emotion, thanks partly to a surplus of youthful growth hormones. These hormones tell our brains that everything is incredibly important—especially the songs that form the soundtrack to our teenage dreams during those early years.

SEASON 2 EPISODE 7:
SEEKING FORGIVENESS - How Difficult is It to Find Forgiveness
Hello Everyone. Today I will be presenting one of the most challenging topics that, over time, I've incorporated into a dozen or more of my novels… FORGIVENESS.
I can't seem to wrap my mind around just how in the world people find forgiveness… How do you let go of grudges? How do you let go of bitterness?
When someone you care about hurts you, you can hold on to anger, resentment, and thoughts of revenge — or embrace forgiveness and move forward.
What about those cases where YOU have hurt someone? The first thing I learned was to admit that you have hurt another person. As painful as it is, you need to come to the place where you accept the fact that you're guilty… and stop right there with no excuses. Asking someone to forgive you requires a broken heart and a willingness to repair the damage you have done. It's not just saying, "Forgive me," if you think I happened to have done something wrong. You need to understand the amount of pain you have caused, and step up to the plate and accept responsibility for it.
This is so true in my Novel "Faith – Seventy Times Seven," when my Grandmother, who was called by God to preach at 17 years of age, lived for twenty some odd years with an alcoholic, abusive husband. Then, during the turn of the century, she had a place under a large black walnut tree 4 miles outside Mansfield, Louisiana, where she went and asked for forgiveness for the man that almost destroyed their entire family in the early 1900s.

Hello Everyone. Welcome to the New Year 2022. I laid my pen down for the last several months of 2021 and paid more attention to my new Podcast Show, and simply gave a long rest from writing. However, I am not sure what I will be choosing, but if you would like to know what I am working on, I will give you a glimpse of what is yet to be for this coming year. Furthermore, I will be releasing the audio version of The Winds of Destiny, available wherever audiobooks are sold. But for now, let’s get down to a peep of what’s happening in the corners of my mind… or better yet, behind the scenes for one of my next novels in 2022. Who doesn’t like a good Ghost Story!!!
The 1800s spawned countless tales of ghosts and spirits and spooky events. Some of them, like legends of silent ghost trains gliding past startled witnesses on dark nights, were so common that it's impossible to pinpoint where or when the stories began. And it seems that every place on earth has some version of a 19th-century ghost story.
I seem to have a fetish and am leaning toward my new novel to have something to do with the long-ago history. Take my books, The Guitar, This Old House, or even Belem TowersorLady in Red. They all have a twist of the supernatural to them. And, let’s not forget the three-book set, The Storm Lord Trilogy… all have the presence of ghosts and the supernatural as part of them.
As I get ready to begin typing away on my new novel, let’s look at what follows as some examples of spooky, scary, or weird events from the 1800s which became legendary. They have been chosen as some framework for the novels that will come forth. As an example, there's a malicious spirit that terrorized a Tennessee family, a newly elected president who got a great fright, a headless railroader… and, oh yes, a First Lady of the United States who was obsessed with ghosts. My newest novel will come forth out of the following four ghost stories! Let us begin…

Christmas Memories with Great Christmas Traditions from Sidney St. James
Including… The Twelve Days of Christmas
Christmas is stuffed to the brim of memories for most of us. Hopefully, yours are great memories of the family, good food, and if you ate my grandmother's cooking in Louisiana, you would agree, and unique gifts.
Your memories, if they are like mine, might be funny ones— My father installing Christmas lights or Aunt Ida bringing her dreaded jello-salad — but there's no denying that Christmas features looking back at past Christmases and remembering the faults and cherished memories alike. We recognize the people who are present, the people we have lost along the way, and the traditions we hold dear. Christmas memories are important; continuing the memories and making new ones make Christmas a memorable holiday.
Many times, the most memorable Christmas moments don't happen on purpose. In fact, at the time, Christmas mishaps feel like a Christmas disaster—a missed airplane flight, a turkey overcooked because the timer didn't go off, frozen pipes from a week-long snowstorm in Texas—but these are the events that a year or two later are remembered with an eye roll and a chuckle, and over time it's these tales that create family lore.
But sometimes, Christmas traditions are on purpose, creating meaning and memories around the holiday. So if you're looking for new Christmas traditions to create warm Christmas memories, we have a few to offer.

Of all of James' novels, "I Am Woman" won the race as best seller of all.
Four beautiful young women, known throughout the novel as the “Four Musketeers,” pledged a lifelong friendship with each other before the beginning of the Civil War and follow their lives of falling in love after graduation from the Hampton Women’s College. They signed their life away to become a slave to their husbands based on our country's laws in the 1860s.
Frances “Fran” Meyer, Jackie ‘Bonzo’ Hager, and Debbie “Deb” Keiner all fall in love only to find out the man they loved was a traitor and fought for the Confederate forces. The fourth musketeer, Dianne Jenkins, has a lifelong secret she never reveals and has an extreme dislike for men. Although a strong word, some might even say she hated men. Then, Frances Meyer, who defects from the red, white, and blue, goes with her husband to fight for the South. Bonzo Hager is drafted by the Army of the Potomac and laughed at when she arrived to muster. She then asked her father to subsidize a substitute to fight for her. Then, there’s Debbie Keiner, the daughter of a Lutheran minister. She gives her heart and soul as a Sister of Mercy in the hospitals for many soldiers injured and killed in the war… both the Rebels and the Yankees. She also gives up her love for a man who left to fight under Robert E. Lee and the southern forces of the Confederacy.
As sunlight enters into raindrops, so love enters the souls of these young women and emerges as their passions in State’s Rights and Women’s Rights. It is how they find their truth and purpose in life. It’s how the “Four Musketeers” give themselves to others. Throughout this story, they each discover that it’s love, which makes them who they are and how powerful forgiveness can be in their lives.
Rights for women in the 1860s were withdrawn when she married. In general, women gave up so many property and civil rights when they said “I do” that it was said they entered a state of “Civil Death!”
In 1860, women were trapped in their homes and performed domestic chores and duties. Their roles as a housewife were to bear children, as long as was feasibly possible. Also, to care for the children while submitting to their husbands’ every whim. It was prevalent for a family to consist of twelve or more children in the 1800s.
“Women are already born so far ahead ability-wise. The day men can give birth, that’s when we can start talking about equal rights!” --- Chuck Palahniuk, American Novelist

SEASON 2 EPISODE 5 GOD HUMBLES HIMSELF ON THE DAY JESUS CHRIST WAS BORN Merry Christmas Everyone and welcome to my Christmas Day Edition of the Sidney St. James Show.
Wow, another year has come and gone. When you are much younger, it seems like it takes forever for Christmas to roll around again and again. However, in my family, it’s almost a December Curse. Not Christmas, something unwanted always happens. This year my December Curse is Covid-19. Although I had all three vaccines which includes the booster and, let’s not forget the Flu shot, it wasn’t enough. So, I decided while under quarantine, I would put together this Christmas Day Special.
Today I want to talk to you again about my Sunday School class and a familiar story when we were putting on the annual Christmas Eve Services. But before I do, let me make sure we are on the same page. God is All Powerful. After all, he could destroy the City of Jericho at a snap of his finger, or he could open up the skies and make it rain all day and night for 4o days. So, have you ever asked yourself, when he took the flesh form and gave the world his son, Jesus Christ who was born on Christmas Day, why didn’t he come in with a boom! Why wasn’t Gabriel blowing his horn! Why wasn’t Archangel waving his Sword of Defense in the sky. Why… well, I could find a lot of why’s to talk about.
Because our Sunday school was not very large, a single girl was chosen to be all the Wisemen, not just one. We all practiced and practiced until everyone had the story ready to perform for the whole congregation in Eagle Lake, Texas at the First Presbyterian Church. The church was full as it always was on Christmas Eve. When it came time for the one Wiseman’s entrance, the young girl majestically swept up the aisle between the pews, draped in a flowing gold robe and all the costume jewelry accumulated over the years by the Women of the Church for various plays during the year.

God called to Jonah one day and told him to go and preach to Nineveh because the people were very wicked. Jonah didn’t like this idea one cotton-pickin’ bit because Nineveh was one of Israel's biggest enemies and Jonah didn’t want anything whatsoever to do with preaching to them!
So, Jonah tried to run away from God in the opposite direction of Nineveh and headed by boat to Tar-shish. While crossing the great waters, God sent a great storm upon the ship, waves over 20 feet high and the men decided Jonah was to blame. They threw him overboard. As soon as they tossed Jonah in the water, the storm came to almost an immediate stop.
God sent a big fish, some story tellers over the ages have called it a whale, to come and swallow Jonah and to save him from drowning. While in the belly of the giant fish, Jonah prayed to God for help, repented, and praised God. For three days Jonah sat in the belly of the fish. Then, God told the big fish to spit Jonah onto the shores of Nineveh.
The Prophet did as God instructed and preached to Nineveh and warned them to repent before the city would be destroyed in 40 days. The people believed Jonah, turned from their wickedness, and God had mercy on them. Jonah now became angry and bitter because God did not destroy the people of Nineveh who were Israel's enemy! When Jonah sat to rest after the ordeal, God provided a large leaf vine to give him shade. The next day, God sent a big fat worm to eat the vine. Jonah now sat in the hot sun complaining and wanting to die. God called out to Jonah and scolded him for being so concerned and worried about just a plant while God was concerned with the lives of 120,000 people who lived in the city of Nineveh.

Lord, I Want to be Like Jesus in My Heart?
Episode 25: Noah and the Flood: The Gospel in the Old Testament
Hello Everyone. I was sitting here this morning after a torrential downfall of rain outside and said to myself, "My God, it's raining cats and dogs… and so… He answered... yes, just like it did almost 4,500 years ago in 2348 BC…
That's when I got this vision of what my final Podcast for Season 1 should be. As I stared out the window watching the water run down the street, my thoughts turned back to my Sunday School days when Jimmy Clipson of Eagle Lake, Texas was my Sunday School teacher at the First Presbyterian Church. It also reminded me of these cartoon handouts that told a different story in the Bible every week.
Do you remember when you were young singing little kids' songs about the rain that fell for forty days and nights on the Ark, the one that Noah was the captain and hundreds if not thousands of pairs of animals, birds, insects, etc. all walked up the plank inside? Well, that isn't exactly how all that day happened, but my story was taken from my novel, Genesis – Stepping Onto the Shore and Finding It Is Heaven, the first novel in the Sunday School Education Series I wrote about five years ago. Also, parts of this story came from the second novel in the series, Hallelujah - He is Not Here; He Has Risen. (Luke 24:6). Go See the Book Trailer for Faith - Seventy Times Seven, the Memoirs and True Story of my Grandmother, the Reverend Ada Slaton Bonds.
Now, for the rest of my story!

SEASON 1 PODCAST 24:Is Through Jesus Christ the only Pathway to Heaven? Don’t all religions lead to God? Or, are we, as Christians, really so narrow-minded and intolerant to think so?
The Reverend Ada Slaton Bonds read from her Bible while standing at the pulpit at the Cumberland Presbyterian Church on Easter, “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
That brings me to ask myself, what about those who have never heard? The other night while dining with a very dear friend, she said unless man or woman believes in Jesus Christ as the son of God and that he was crucified and died for our sins, then we had no pathway whatsoever to Heaven. This is probably one of the most common questions associated with Christianity.
Before going on, think about what I just said for a moment longer…. Now, in other words, is it fair for God to condemn people who never had an opportunity to hear the message of Christ?

Is Abraham Lincoln the next American historical personage to be canceled by the left? Protesters in Portland tore down a statue of the venerated President, and some figures of him are targets for removal in other places. Why is Honest Abe so suddenly so blasted controversial?
First, I don’t wish to sit here today and talk “politics.” When I join friends, it is the only subject matter that makes for unpleasant conversation. But, this particular part of so-called politics is destroying your and my Country. So, I couldn’t any longer leave the subject of what was going on lay quiet in my thoughts. So, I ask you today, "What do you think is actually driving this destruction of so much history in our country?"
These are groups of people who wish to destroy American history to undermine the people's faith in the system we have here in our free America. My father, a well-known historian on the Civil War, was very pro Lincoln, although being awarded the highest honors from the Daughters of the Confederacy. He was firm with Lincoln that America is the last, best hope on Earth, a place where freedom exists and flourishes. I feel the same way as him when I say that I think people who want a lot of government control of the populace don't like the symbols of that. Lincoln was one of the noblest symbols.

One of the most significant challenges faced by Christianity and Christians is the reality of evil and suffering. I am writing a screenplay now for Hollywood called Faith – Seventy Times Seven, and I watched another script on television, I Still Believe. Playing the role of Jeremy Camp, the lead character questioned God as to why he let the woman he loved die from cancer at such an early age. He got angry and tore everything up around him. I must admit, at times, even great thinkers are baffled by the seeming contradiction between the existence of a loving God and the fact of evil. Billy Bob Thornton thought this over and over in my novel Seeing the Power of God.
In the movie I Still Believe, the lead character shouted, "Where is God?” This is one of the most disquieting symptoms … But go to Him, the young man did, his need is frantic, when all other help is in vain, and what do you find? A door smashed in your face! A sound of gunshots and unbearable pain on the inside."
Fortunately, Jeremy Camp came to grips with his grief and, in the end, realized that God not only exists but that He is indeed all-loving despite the sufferings we might have.
Let me ask you how you would describe God. I know, what about words like harsh or a Creator who is so difficult to please? Would you use words like angry or forgiving? Or, wait, I am almost there. What about this? Would you describe him as loving, generous or… even Father?

THE SIDNEY ST. JAMES SHOW
EPISODE 20 – WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE A CEMETERY ENTHUSIAST or A TOMBSTONE TOURIST – A True Family History Story
JUNE 2021
As one who has studied genealogy for decades, I suppose you can also call me a cemetery enthusiast. I’ve learned the many ways people around the world honor their dead to put the pieces together across the “pond.” Take the moss-covered mausoleums of Edinburgh to the candle-lit cemeteries around the lands in Italy. In my studies of overseas family members, particularly those living in Rastede and Oldenburg, Germany, and in Jerusalem, I learned of the small stones placed on Jewish graves in Jerusalem and even the walls of urns located in Japan. There’s so much that can be learned from wandering through cemeteries with shady paths that continue to invite us, addicted genealogists, to meander and read the epitaphs to those gone before us.
Tombstones often include data in addition to birth and death dates. For example, some memorials contain relationships with parents, spouses, and children. Sometimes the headstones have decorations that include symbols or words about occupations, possibly the cause of death, membership in religious organizations, or even their general philosophies of life, providing essential details into the lives. These are so important because I never settle for a born and death date. That really doesn’t tell me about the person.
For many women and children who died before 1850 and children born and died between census enumerations or before vital records were kept, a cemetery may provide the only description of their life.

Episode 21: A Tribute to Father's Day
To my two girls, who are grown-up ladies now. Today, we will go and have Father's Day at a restaurant in Georgetown. Now get this, one will say, "do you remember Dad when you walked up the sidewalk at O. Henry Middle School acting like Frankenstein? Embarrassing back then to no get-out, and they still remember that. Then, I was cleaning a bass I caught on the river, and while cleaning it, I acted like it ate my thumb. Gosh, was that a mistake? They didn't go back in the water for ages! Memories. How 'bout the crazy things my Father did and I did as a Father. But, now that my Father is gone, I think back at those crazy things on Father's Day. I should bring up one of his things; he made us boys go bonkers! He fixed some Sweet Bread for supper. Wow, did we love sweets growing up? Come to find out later, it was Brains and Eggs. Oooooo is right! What an awful trick, but wow, is it one I remember to this very day….
Be sure to join me for my next regularly scheduled podcast in a few days as we will discuss the making of a professional genealogist! How to put the pieces together for your family history...

Are you in true love? Do you want to truly love your partner? Here are the characteristics of true love you should know and implement in your relationship.
In my last two episodes, where I paid tribute to our friends and family in World War II, I spoke of three special friends I called the Three Musketeers of Eagle Lake, Texas. They were TRUE FRIENDS. Today, I will talk about taking that friendship to another level… TRUE LOVE.
Love is something that most of us can’t describe in words. One thing is for sure, however, and that is true love is rare to find. When we fall in love, the world looks beautiful. Everything around looks incredible. Our heart fills up with purity.
Books written that incorporate True Love...Sometimes we'll sigh... sometimes we'll cry.... Peter & Gordon 1960

Operation Magic Carpet was the most extensive combined air and sealift ever organized during wartime. Elmer A. Struss, my father, was an officer in the Navy, one of many assigned this task and helped bring back home millions of soldiers at the end of WWII. It was called… by all the servicemen and women, as the scope expanded worldwide, as “Home Alive By ’45!”
My special presentation on this Memorial Weekend is of the First Nighttime Torpedo Drop in Naval History, Operation Magic Carpet, and action in the theater of Northern Africa. Today, my words are a tribute to the patriotism about Eagle Lake, Texas’ Three Musketeers, as they were known in school in the 1920s and 1930s… Robert Jack “Coogie” Ney, Elmer A. Struss and Freddie R. Frnka.

Owing a home is one of our great American dreams, something we all aspire to do in our early years of life. There's something about having a tiny part of planet Earth to call your own that inspires a sense of both security and pride. Getting the keys handed over to you at closing for your very first home is always a cause for celebration: you open the door, cross the threshold, possibly carrying the woman you love in your arms, and go inside your very own castle - whether it be an apartment or a single-family home in a quiet residential subdivision.
Have you ever moved into your new house and found it was haunted? See other novels, This Old House and Guitar by Sidney St. James
Tell me this. What happens if you are one of those unfortunate new home buyers who makes a bone-chilling discovery that you and your family, not to mention your pets, are not the only ones who reside in your home sweet home?
Living in a haunted house can be stressful for many reasons. There's the emotional stress that comes with being continuously in fear of whats just around the corner, as well as the financial stress that occurs when particularly active ghosts wreak their eerie business around the house: they break things and send the energy bill sky high with their constant tinkering with the lights or the air conditioning thermostat! Knocking picture frames off the walls, etc. Moreover, it's definitely unsettling to feel as though you are never alone and always being watched, especially in the one place you hope some privacy. There was one such house near Glidden, Texas that was in such bad shape, the community advertised that on October 31stat 7 pm, a contest to see who could remain in the house all night.

SEASON 1
EPISODE 15
THE THREE DIFFERENT STEPS TOWARDS FINDING FORGIVENESS
FAITH – SEVENTY TIMES SEVEN BY SIDNEY ST. JAMES (A True Story of Forgiveness)
From the memoirs of the first ordained woman minister in the state of Louisiana, Rev. Ada Caston Slaton Bonds, as Moderator for the General Assembly six years in a row. Given the official title of Mother of All Presbyteries of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Active in the ministry for 55+ years, almost longer than any other woman in the United States. Known throughout the South as the greatest Evangelical minister in all denominations.
Given the title of the representative to God for her “Pure Womanhood” by the Ku Klux Klan No. 60.
Numerous scriptures were found in her Red Chief Notebooks about Forgiveness.
The story of her life written in the creative historical nonfiction genre.
How Often Do We Have to Forgive?
Matthew 18:21-22. Then Peter came up and said to him, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?" Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven."
As soon as Jesus rose from the dead and made his first visit to the disciples, he breathed the Holy Spirit on them and then spoke to them about forgiveness.
John 20:21-23. Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” 22 And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”
One text that speaks about the consequences of unforgiveness.
Matthew 18:23-35. The parable begins with the King forgiving the debt of one of his servants who cried for mercy. After that this same servant, who was forgiven, mercilessly charged one of his fellow servants. The fellow servant likewise cried for mercy. But it was thrown in the prison by the pardoned servant until the debt was repaid. The King learned of this and was outraged.
The outcome of the story is narrated in Matthew 18: 32-35. “Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. 33. Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’ 34. In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed. 35. “This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.”
The song at the end of the podcast was sung by Fernando Ortega… “Lord, I Want to be Like Jesus in My Heart!”

n 1965, Peter & Gordon sang the song written by Buddy Holly called "True Love Ways." As a youngster, I danced my first slow song with a woman in the Community Center who I decided would be my wife one day. She was from Deer Park, Texas. Funny how life branches out in many directions… it never happened.
Our story, much like the song, is unique because it is both romantic and realistic. It recognizes the truth: that sometimes life will be difficult. Our leading characters will cry, but they'll work through it together. It might possibly bring them closer. While this song acknowledges the outside world (sharing joys with those who really care), it is also intimate. "Just you and I" know these ways of true love.
I've often thought of this song in terms of a couple starting out – the use of "will by and by," "throughout the days," and "will bring us" suggests that they're looking into the times ahead; yet, it's applicable in far greater scope as seen in the writing of this novel.
In our story, Marco Naumann has fallen in love with Simone Wolfensohn in New Orleans. She was most definitely a catch of any young man. However, she lived in high society and demanded that Marco be wealthy before getting married.
She found a way by his marrying a dying girl, Miss Kerstin Hoffman, who would soon inherit several million dollars of a magnificent estate in the Dutchy of Oldenburg in Germany. Marco was to marry her, and when she died, take the inheritance, and come back for Simone's hand in marriage.
Kerstin laid on her death bed as Marco walked back into her life after a fifteen-year absence. "I love you, Marco like you're the very last of my kind. You speak the same language as me. Oh, God, Marco, to be around you is like finally not being alone…as if all my life I've been isolated in a windowless room. Then, after all these years, you walk through the doorway, across the room, into my life, as if you were strolling over a summer meadow. How is it, Marco, that you are much, much more than sunshine? How is it you breathe life when there isn't anyone else that can? Tell me, Marco… why is it you are my medicine? Who could love me more than you? So, Marco, from this moment forward, know this…while I breathe, I am yours in mind, body, and soul. I love you!"
Our story has many twists and turns. In the first of a two-part edition, we find that there's another possible descendant, a cousin named Norman Hoffman, who works in a small mining community outside San Francisco. He is the son of the second-born, Florian Hoffman.
He gathers all his documents that prove his identity and begins his travel to New Orleans to present his papers to the law firm, Slaton & Slaton, down on Poydras. However, his travels come to an abrupt stop. One will have to wait and find out if the wolves devour him in the forest after a bullet passes through his chest.
Lots of questions go unanswered. Does Kerstin Hoffman live or die? Does Marco inherit the great fortune and return to Simone for her hand in marriage. Does Norman Hoffman survive and prove that he is next in line for the grand estate's wealth in Oldenburg, Germany.

Episode 13: A Podcast of the Sidney St. James Show
Burn, Baby, Burn! – Take the long-held assumption, found even in some of the most respected history books, that 1960s feminists exhibited against the establishment by setting fire to their bras. I grew up during this era. But where did it all begin? Maybe with Susan B. Anthony and others at the Seneca Falls meeting in New York in 1848? Follow my most exciting new adventure in this fiction novel based on actual facts as Dianne Jenkins loves one man, Russell Keiner, with her heart but despites him and all men with her mind. Follow her as she graduates from college and attempts to fight for Women’s Rights. Our story has its beginning in 1860 with Abraham Lincoln having been just elected president of the United States… the long road to suffrage 1848 to 1920.
Let’s find out just what one senator said in 1968, “Feminists are only braless, brainless broads!”
I Am Woman - Hear Me Roar, Part I and I Am Woman - I am invincible, Part 2 of this two-part series, hit the book stores on August 18, 2020, celebrating 100 long years from the passing of the Nineteenth Amendment securing women’s right to vote in the United States of America!
In the 1800s, the rights usually enjoyed by women were often taken away when she married. As a matter of fact, a woman gave up so many civil and property rights upon walking across that threshold that she was said to be entering a state of “civil death.” One such woman who would not stand for this inequality was Dianne Jenkins. She loves Reverend Russell Keiner with all her heart but hates him with all her mind. Her moving speech as Magna Cum Laude at Hampton’s College describes her feeling toward inequality while not pulling any punches.

The rush to the Louisiana border was known to the Texans as the Runaway Scrape, the Great Runaway, or the Sabine Shoot. Whatever one calls it, the wild exodus was a nightmare of terror and suffering for women and children across the Lone Star State. It was only their burning desire for retribution that made it possible for them to keep going.
REMEMBER THE ALAMO! REMEMBER GOLIAD! COME AND TAKE IT!
Dilue Rose Harris told her story for the Eagle Lake Headlight in Eagle Lake, Texas, in 1900.
Delicate women trudged from day to day until their shoes were literally worn out and continued their journey to the east with bare feet, lacerated and bleeding at almost every step. Their clothes were scant and provided no means of shelter from frequent drenching downpours and bitterly cold winds.
--- Soldier from the Battle of San Jacinto
In efforts to escape the tyranny of General Santa Anna, the older men, women, and children found the few ferries to cross the waterways could not accommodate the large volumes of traffic. At Lynch’s Ferry, over five thousand people were waiting to get across.
--- Dilue Rose Harris
In the group of women with Dilue Rose Harris, one recalled in her memoirs that there were very few white men in the hundreds in her group. The African Americans seemed to be the protectors of most of the families. She had nothing but the highest praise for the Men of Color without whose help they may never have succeeded.
--Mary S. Helm
Not wishing the women and children to see their homes put to the torch in Gonzales, Texas, Sam Houston led the civilians out of the small community. Then he ordered that no roof large enough to shelter a Mexican’s head should be left standing.
Finally, the women of the Runaway Scrape or the Sabine Shoot, or the Great Runaway justifiably could regard themselves as Veterans of the Texas Revolution. They endured dangers and hardships as harsh as those faced by their soldier-husbands. Not as commonly lauded over the last almost two hundred years, their efforts were just as important.
Santa Anna had no secret of his objective. He wanted to drink a cup of coffee from the waters of the Sabine River and, on the way, rid Texas of all perfidious foreigners. His campaign ended on April 21, 1836.

Growing up in the small town of Eagle Lake, Texas, I always saw myself living in the big city of Houston, Texas where stores are open past five o'clock and inspiration can be found on almost every street corner. Now that I finally made the move, I couldn't be happier with my choice. But growing up in a tiny town made me who I am and I wouldn't trade my small-town experiences and all my lifelong friends I made for the world. One such friend was Wanda Lynn Smith. I received a phone call a few weeks ago informing me she lost her battle with Cancer. I immediately turned to my recording studio and just started recording. No script, just words from the heart. You see, that phone call I received informed me my dear friend for more than half a century was no longer with us. So, I stared out the window of my studio for ten minutes and then began to cut this Special Edition of the Sidney St. James Show.

Rosenthall - Bête Maléfique des Bois - The Birth of Detective Vincent James Gideon
Black Rock Cove, on the coastline of Oregon, has a unique and sinister charm. By day, it is a quaint fishing village and charming resort for summertime visitors, but by night…well, that’s a different story. The murder of Oliver Bateman was purely the strangest of all crimes. A gunshot was heard as he fell dead in the courtyard, but bullet holes were missing from his body. Three deep knife wounds, however, covered his chest.
Even stranger, Elizabeth Knight, daughter of famed Nobel Prize winner William Knight, was discovered in her locked bedroom on the brink of death after hysterical screaming and two gunshots were heard. She was found all alone… no assassin present.
Find the motive of the assassin, and you locate the criminal. Nevertheless, several people have reasons, which may have led them to the deed. Which one did it? Why did the murderer leave a bloody cow bone in the room? Why was there only one bullet found in the chamber after witnesses heard two shots, and two were expended in the golden 22 caliber revolver found in the room? Also, most of all, how was the crime committed in a sealed chamber? How did the assassin escape?
Wait! Did the wrong person lose their life? What will that do? Create more questions? Result in more murders? Will there be other murders? Who’s the mastermind behind them? These questions become the catalyst for a sequence of events that will rivet the readers to their seats.
This first novel debuts Vincent Gideon, a young detective making a name for himself solving cold cases. A best-selling author, Abigail Guerin, better known as Abby throughout the novel, adds a twist of romance as she assists him. They must solve the case before the mystery man catches the six o’clock train departing Black Rock Cove. However, no other than the Great Shane Murdock comes to town. He is Gideon’s mentor and has solved more cold cases in America than anyone else. Some have called him in headline news, the Sherlock Holmes of America. He is a household name from his successful endeavors at solving crimes the local authorities can’t.
Black Rock Cove, the setting in James’ thriller series, The Storm Lord Trilogy, is still his canvas in his Gideon Detective Series. James unveils a labyrinth of evil constructed by people at the highest levels of power. More secrets are revealed. Is the Bête Maléfique des Bois, the beast responsible for so many deaths? More people continue to lose their lives. You don’t know who can be trusted. Martin DuBois? Terrence McGyver? Chris Darnay? Mother Althena? Could Gideon himself be the mastermind of the crimes?

PODCAST EPISODE 009: The Making of the Final Chapter of the Storm Lord Trilogy, Three Keys to Armageddon!
Using the rich background of the spiritual world of Archangels Michael and his Sword of Angels and Gabriel with his trumpet of victory in the background, the Storm Lord Trilogy Series pursues the return of Satan himself with a paranormal bent world of EVIL versus GOOD filled with captivating characters. The ever-moving series’ sharp dialogue, highly original plot lines and stylistic flair is as rhythmic and vibrant as any of his earlier works.
These three novels in the 3-book Storm Lord Trilogy Series, The Flaming Blue Sword, Nine Months Will Tell and The Three Keys to Armageddon are provocative, confrontational and contain highly creative twists and turns into the unexpected, but always with a healthy dose of humor, not to mention romance, no matter how intense the circumstances might become.
In this final chapter, Nikki Connors must find the three keys to Armageddon or… all Hell will break loose… literally. One of twelve quests pits our heroine against evil out to destroy the goodness in the world.
Nikki, along with her mother Angel Thompson, were propelled into challenges in which they could die at every turn. Action on their part is required every step of the way to keep the world good… balanced… and… in peace!
Sean E. Jacobs, author of The Eye of the Storm, was on this show last year and had this to say about the Storm Lord Trilogy Series: “I really enjoy reading books with kick-butt female characters. Nikki Connors is definitely one of them. She’s probably one of the most enigmatic and levelheaded heroines in paranormal romance today. There are so many things I could say about this character… she’s tough… she’s brave and relentless… and, she’s smart. In short, she’s an amazing young woman!”
Next week in Episode 10, we will kick off the Gideon Detective Series, cozy mysteries with love and passion, not to mention not knowing whodunnit until the end of the novels, with the novel Rosenthall - Bete Malefique des Bois! Until then…
Happy Listening from yours truly, SIDNEY ST. JAMES!

**NINE MONTHS WILL TELL
BOOK TWO IN THE STORM LORD TRILOGY SERIES
---a paranormal romance**
Continuation of the Storm Lord Trilogy in Chapter Two, Nine Months Will Tell, finds Angelica Thompson and Sheriff Kevin Connors expecting their first child. Her pregnancy comes as a surprise to her and Kevin because it is precisely nine months after their defeat of Ethan Knight in Chapter One of the Storm Lord Trilogy series.
The question now that arises for the two love-birds is whether the Storm Lord lost his life in their final battle in the first of the series or did he, somehow, miraculously survive the epic encounter.
The expecting mother lives with pain day in and day out. She experiences dreams that are, once again, so real, she can never get more than an hour or two each night of sleep. Cherubs appear in her dreams. Demons appear in her dreams. Death appears in her dreams!
It was in the last two weeks of her pregnancy she realized her child’s life was being threatened by outside forces. Has the Storm Lord returned to her dreams? Who did she and Kevin kill in their first encounter if it wasn’t the Storm Lord?
Unfortunately, their lives, far from being made perfect, become complicated.
Angelica continues to be a hostage from the Evil One and his enchantments and sorcery. Kevin continues, along with the shapeshifting sea captain, the one able to wield the massive blue flaming sword, preparing for when they meet again.
Because of the nightmares, which don’t seem to end, she never finds a moment to complete her second novel in the Storm Lord Trilogy series. Angel continues to discover more of the enchantments that hold her hostage. Why do all of the villagers in Black Rock Cove turn their backs on her when she comes to town? Why is it the FBI investigators continue to disappear overnight when in town to investigate the disappearance of so many children? Why are her nightmares getting stronger each day as she gets closer to having her first newborn? Why is her amulet beginning to glow again?
More noise came from the front porch. Angel reached down and rubbed her pockets on her warmups, looking for her pepper spray, but both were flat! “Jesus Christ! Where did I leave my spray? Kevin is always getting on me for not carrying it with me!”
Freddie Krueger, move over. There’s a new name in town! ETHAN KNIGHT.
… from Sidney St. James, a paranormal romance of epic proportions!

Episode 006: The Sixth and Final Novel in the Faith Chronicles by Sidney St. James - Seeing the Power of God!
After writing Genesisand Hallelujah, I became one of those people who asked, “Can anyone be a Christian and not believe in the Bible? Is it wrong to question any of the scriptures in the Bible?”
Some people believe questioning the Bible, the direction God is going, or even God himself, is blasphemy. Some think it is a sign of disbelief.
The mystery of why our main character in the novel has such cynicism is possible because he remembers nothing before his eighteenth birthday. The first book he read after learning to read and write was on Hinduism. His father didn’t know how such a book ended up in his library, but he took it and hid it from his son. Was it too late? Did what he read about Vishnu and Krishna absorb his entire thought process where he never recognized Jesus Christ as the one and only son of God? Who’s right, the father or his son?
What was this strange ability he had with being able to communicate with animals, one of God’s creations? Why can’t he remember anything in his life before his eighteenth birthday? Who is his cousin who comes strangely into his life on his twenty-first birthday? Who is the stranger who is hired to come and teach him about Jesus Christ and the Bible?
Let’s try to answer the question “Is it wrong for Christians to Question God?”
My personal feeling as an author writing this book found three questions one should never ask. One should not ask a question of the Lord because they think they know better than Him. One should never question God’s authority, a big No, No! We should never ask questions of God to try and stall our obedience to the Lord.
But, if we are questioning the scriptures in the Bible because we desperately want to know the answer because we are searching out and really want to know our Lord because we want to see the light in so much confusion, then that should be okay…
HAPPY LISTENING

Podcast Episode 005: The Making of Hallelujah – He is not Here; He Has Risen (Luke 24: 6) by Sidney St. James
If you're a slow and methodical worker when it comes to creating things, then you'll likely find great inspiration in "Hallelujah," episode five of the Sidney St. James Faith Chronicles Series. In "Hallelujah," James, the best-selling author of Faith,Seeing the Power of God, and I Am Woman,lets his creative nonfiction loose upon how creative writing works.
Hallelujah - He is not Here; He Has Risen (Luke 24: 6) is a creative historical nonfiction novel drawn from the New Testament. It is factually accurate and written with attention to literary style.
The life story told in this novel begins, primarily, with the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist. It was at this time John announced that Jesus was, in fact, the Son of God.
Secondly, Jesus finds his first three disciples. There were finally twelve disciples who accompanied Jesus until the end of his life on the earth. The ministry of Jesus is characterized by many extraordinary and miraculous happenings.
At his Sermon on the Mount, he delivered the Beatitudes, which were spiritual teachings of compassion, humility, and love.
He fed the hungry. He healed the sick. The more miracles he performed, the more people followed him and listened to his teachings.
The life of the Lord is most important to all Christians in each walk of life. Every Christian should know about the life of Jesus Christ and his spiritual leadership. He did so happen to have spent his entire life on earth.
Read the stories of Jesus:
Changing water into wine.
Catching a large number of fish.
Healing a leper.
Curing a paralyzed man.
Raising of Lazarus.
Healing a man with a withered hand.
Raising a widow’s son.
Calming the storm. Walking on water. Restoring a severed ear from a soldier.
And on and on and on…
And, on conclusion of the “New Testament” in Hallelujah, we will present our last episode No. 6, an exciting conclusion to the series, Seeing the Power of God… Does one have to believe in the Bible to be a Christian?
Stay tuned… HAPPY LISTENING.

GENESIS – Imagine Stepping Onto the Shore and Finding It’s Heaven is a creative historical nonfiction novel drawn from the Old Testament. It is factually accurate and written with attention to literary style. My extensive research led me into animated descriptions at my desk and emotional outpours to arrive at the truth through shaping the information, molding the narrative so that it reads like fiction. It makes the stories so easy to understand.
One of the methods Jesus used in communicating his messages in the Bible was through parables. What is a parable, you might ask? Well, it’s an earthly story with a heavenly meaning.
When Jesus started telling parables to the many people along his many paths, his disciples would ask him, “Why do you speak unto them in parables?”
I remember the Reverend Ada Caston Slaton Bonds standing up in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Pleasant Hill, Louisiana, or Old Bethany Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Coushatta and every Sunday speaking in parables. In other words, earthly stories with a heavenly meaning.
Jesus did the same thing so that his disciples would comprehend his teachings and that those who did not believe would be without any understanding. Those interested in understanding God’s truth of his message would know, while those not interested would remain without knowledge.
Stay tuned for Episode 5, Hallelujah - He is not Here; He Has Risen (Luke 24: 6) and Episode 6, the conclusion to the Faith Chronicles, Seeing the Power of God.

Reverend Mrs. Ada Caston Slaton Bonds is one of the most colorful ministers ever produced by the great Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Beyond a doubt, she overcame more difficulties and passed through more heartaches than any minister ever known to preach the 'Whosoever Will' gospel. Miss Ada, as all affectionately called her, possessed countless prodigies. By way of the corridors of her ministerial career, she helped shape the lives and mold the character of many young ministers, who, today, rise up and call her 'blessed.'
God sent her His Divine calling to preach. She then learned to preach. She carved out a place for herself among the clergy that was unique, without comparison. With bottomless emotion, genuine poise, and true dignity, Miss Ada became the First Lady of the Cloth in the Louisiana Presbytery and had the highest honor bestowed upon her: Mother of All Presbyteries.
FAITH – Seventy Times Seven is a creative historical nonfiction novel. It is factually accurate and written with attention to literary style. My extensive research led me into animated descriptions at my desk and emotional outpours to arrive at the truth through shaping the information, molding the narrative so that it reads like fiction.
Miss Ada set the standards high for being a minister in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. She was an anomaly for her time. Still today, we find the bar for preaching the word of God set high by Ada for all young men and women entering the ministry!
Watch for Episode 4, The Making ofGenesis - Stepping Onto the Shore and Finding It's Heaven!

FROM THE MEMOIRS OF DILUE ROSE HARRIS (The Runaway Scrape, the Great Runaway or the Sabine Shoot)
Creative nonfiction has become the most popular genre in our literary communities. Recent creative nonfiction titles on the best-seller lists include Laura Hillenbrand's Unbroken or Dave Egger's Zeitoun and, of course, Sidney St. James' The ROSE of Brays Bayou - God Bless Texas Women.
James discusses the early stages of writing this creative nonfiction novel and does so in writing scenes throughout the pages which represents the difference between showing and telling. Many books on memoirs will tell the reader about a subject or a place, but Sidney St. James, a teller of stories and writer of novels, shows the subject and place vividly and memorably... in action scenes.
In this podcast, The Making of The ROSE of Brays Bayou, James discusses the early stages of happenings that led to the writing of this novel. These happenings are a "True" account of actual ghosts from the Smithson family and others interrupting the contractors on multiple occasions. One such happening was a ghost, her name was "Annie" who wrote her name on the top of a paint can lid in front of the contractor while the room dropped twenty degrees... scout's honor.
Sidney St. James was given in 2005 a typewritten manuscript from William Kell who received it from a Harris family member. Kell, in turn, gave it to the author and his wife for their successful completion of restoration of the Smithson-Struss home in Eagle Lake, Texas where Dilue Rose Harris wrote her memoirs of that fearful time in Texas history, The Runaway Scrape.

As a three decade professional genealogist I wrote several family history books before continuing my career as a best selling author in creative nonfiction, fantasy, science fiction, detective mysteries and romance novels. The skills I learned in researching family histories and introducing them in my writing of many of 50+ novels was first used in my debut novel, Book 1 of the Faith Chronicles, Adversity - Keeping the Faith.
After many years of research in studying my own family history from Oldenburg, Germany to Frelsburg, Texas, beginning in the Texas A&M Reserve Reading Room at the library during my college days with endless strips of microfilm, Adversity had its beginning.
It is amazing how, as adults, we struggle during our childhood through the date-pocketed courses of history...bored, disenchanted, waiting only for the end of that cobwebbed test of endurance. In later years, we find that history is the most fascinating and stimulating of all areas of knowledge. We can ask ourselves, why this unfortunate paradox? Has "history" really changed? The answer is...No!”
However important dates, names, and places may be to an expert understanding of history, they are not history, but only the checkpoints and framework of history. This novel is about people, real people, blood and bones, loves and hates, strengths, passions, weaknesses, and belief in Jesus Christ, our Lord. History is joys and sorrows, failures and successes, heartbreaks and ecstasies. What is history? History is power, the exercise of power, and the vacuum of power.
Please join me and listening to the early foot-work that brought about the beginning of this novel.
Happy Listening!
