Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Dying cities and towns: 1 of 5

Taps To My Town It was in the 1980's that my hometown of Wellsville, Ohio drew its last breath and died. It was painful to see this once vibrant, outgoing, and one time city reduced to a mere shell. The color had gone out of her face and she was dark and pail as if a cancer had surged through every part of her. She was reduc...
Politics, News & Issues > International Politics (Other) The decline of the US as a world power: 8 of 38

I am deeply saddened when I look at this great nation. She is still great, but a pale comparison to what she once was. America was once a sanctuary, a place of many freedoms enjoyed by its citizens.

Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture If God loves us, why is there so much pain in the world?: 25 of 59

Witnessing Jesus Style How did Jesus get so many people to follow him, but we can't get many of our friends and family to come to one service. What secret did He have that we somehow cannot seem to grasp. I think the answer is right there in the word, but we as His people chose to do it our own way. When we look at what Jesu...
Politics, News & Issues > Politics, News & Issues (Other) Should the US government decide what preachers can say from the pulpit: 15 of 21

We, as a nation, are putting ourselves in a compromising position. We are allowing the government to take away one of our basic rights that this nation was built upon. That is the right of religious freedom, all in the name of separation of church and state. It is no longer common or acceptable for an individual to demonstra...
