Ephraim Fox was born in March 1822, in Knoxville, Kentucky near the end of the Cumberland Gap. His father, Nicholas, came to the Blue Grass state when he was seven years old, with his father Benjamin, the supposed son of William and Mary Fox, of the Virginia Fox's.In The Secrets of Benjamin Fox, much of the truth about the life of little-known colonial era pioneer Benjamin Fox is laid bare. Fallout from differences and alienation Benjamin's son Nicholas felt from his sister and step siblings, seem to have led him to leave Kentucky after Benjamin died, to settle in Missouri.The move toward the western edge of civilization made in 1843 was likely in preparation to strike out to Oregon. Nicholas, however, disappears from documents after 1844; assumed dead. His widow, Sara, had three half-grown sons and daughter still in their home, as well as two very young married daughters and her eldest son, Ephraim, who all lived on adjoining farms.Oregon fever spread through the established United States like a flash fire, a promise of land and a new beginning. It was likely a dream Nicholas Fox shared with his son Ephraim, who was unwilling to give it up when his father passed away. The Donation Land Act, passed and signed in December 1850 was the last push the eager young man needed to send he and his family walking out into an epic, unknown wilderness.Statistics indicate those who moved across the Oregon Trail were a great minority of the population of the Unites States, that ended abruptly at the Missouri River. Collectively the promise of land and a new beginning is seen as the greatest motivation for these people. While this may be true, there were so many more personal reasons people felt the risks were worth it, they cannot even be calculated. Ephraim Fox's motivation to move west had as much to do with what he was running toward, as it did with what he was running from.The Oregon Trail had been in use for a decade in 1852. While thousands had used it, few had improved its course. There were very few bridges or ferries across hundreds of streams spread across 2000 miles of trail whose way was marked mainly by the ruts of those who had come before them. The emigration of 1852 on the Oregon Trail dwarfed all previous and future years of migrations. In fact, it was due to the great number of pioneers of 1852 that the trail began to become tamed.Brother-in-law's, George and James Bunch were Ephraim's traveling partners. Whether intentional or not, the family soon found themselves at the leading edge of a string of wagons that stretched without end back to Missouri. When cholera began to kill those in the mass of humanity behind them, the way West became a death race.If ever there was an option to turn back, it was gone. Horseback riders confirmed rumors that wagons behind them were afflicted. It was clear as they traveled that cholera was being passed forward, getting closer.Ephraim Fox's experience coming West was anything but normal. It was not haphazardly planned, placing them in front of most pioneers that year. But when people began to die behind them, they had no choice but to push forward harder and faster.A compilation of pioneer journals, documents and relationships reconstruct the experiences Ephraim and his family shared along the isolated and dangerous trail of 1852.Ten thousand people walked across the continent in the summer of 1852. Ephraim Fox was among the first few hundred to make it there alive. This is his story.

This book was written to inform dental students, recent dental graduates, and practicing dentists about the complex processes needed to properly plan, design and build a dental facility. It probably is the most comprehensive book ever written on the subject, because it methodically describes all of the possible steps to create an exceptional dental office. There are three parts to this book: Designing and Building an Exceptional Dental Office, Designing and Building our Exceptional Dental Office, and Developing Your Dental Office.This book was written by a dentist together with an experienced dental office designer and construction coordinator, whose goal was to provide design knowledge to dentists, and to demonstrate cost-effective measures related to the construction process. The book also describes in detail twenty examples of unexpected dental construction obstacles with imaginative solutions, emphasizing to the reader the need for an experienced team of experts.In addition, this book gives dental office management recommendations for those dentists who want or need to effectively develop their practice after dental office construction. Using the proven recommendations discussed in this book, dentists will be better able to create, build and develop their own exceptional dental facilities.
Paul wrote, "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead..."My granddaughter is just now taking her first steps. She started out rolling to get where she wanted to go. Then she learned to crawl. Now she is beginning to walk. Soon she will be running to get what she wants. That is how we learn. We gradually move on from what we know into the unknown. Once we know that we move on again.This book is a description of my spiritual journey from being a young Catholic boy from Chicago through the teachings in the books of Carlos Castaneda as he described his apprenticeship to a sorcerer, seer and man of knowledge named Don Juan Matus. From there I attended a church which was better described as a school of Christian Mysticism and the study of the Kabbalah. In each case the requirements were Impeccability or perfection. Not only that but perfection even as god is perfect.But what I have come to understand is a case similar to that of the children of Israel. As Paul said, "For they being ignorant of God's righteousness and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God." God's righteousness was imputed to all mankind at the Cross. That is the Gospel, the good news, of Grace and Peace.I have found that, like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, Going home is just a matter of waking up. We were there all along.
This book is a guide on how to become fearless. This book shows you what you're doing and saying to bring about peace and what you're not.The word of God is full of scriptures that say, "do not fear", "do not be afraid", "don't be anxious", why? Because fear tolerated is faith contaminated. When you let fear in you contaminate your faith.In this journey, I walk you through each chapter as you read it. Fear will no longer have a hold on you because you just won't let things happen. You will learn what strategies you could incorporate into your daily lives, learn them, practice them, and implement them.You will learn to become fearless, full of joy no matter what is going on around you, because joy is a force to be reckoned with, scriptures say the Joy of the Lord is my strength. If you find yourself weak then you may have lost your joy, no worries we will get that back once you learn that the root cause is the way we think and what we say.Jesus said take in Matthew 6"34 "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." He was telling us not to worry about tomorrow, so to go a little further let me share the verse before which is one of my favorites Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Philippians 4:13 says "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" Luke 6:45 says "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks."Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God. So, think of what you're listening to because what you hear grows.In this book I give you many scriptures that our Lord tells us to do and like I told my kids delayed obedience is disobedience. I will show you that these worries don't have to dictate your life. You will also learn how to live a healthy life, without being fearful and full of anxiety. You will learn the difference between faith and fear.Once you learn the decision you make is your own, now you can undo the damage done and rejoice.1 Peter 5:7 says to "cast your cares upon the Lord for He cares for you" It's important to understand and realize that Jesus Loves you and He's not against you! He is the one that took your pain and heavy lifting, and you don't need to carry those worries, fears, anxieties. Jesus died on the cross for your sin and mine and he rose from the grave 3 days later. He who knew no sin became sin for us. John 3:16 says "For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believed in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.The enemy was laughing, dancing thinking he won, when Jesus was crucified, that we lost the battle, then the third day came, and Jesus rose from the grave the enemy realized he lost. Scriptures in 1 Corinthians 2:8 says, "Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory." wow look at verse 5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. Paul says clearly here in 1 Corinthians 15:15,16,17, O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.Jesus said it clearly in John 10:10 "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly".Let's get ready to learn on how to become fearless you have nothing to lose but fear itself!In His Grace,Lillian
