The Muse Luke Whittier had a problem. Well, more than one, if truth be told. He had recently came to realize that he had no direction.

There can be no doubt in my mind that there is attraction at a mere glance. You can spend two minutes looking at someone and decide that you want to give things a shot with them.

I fail to see how Christians can "reclaim" something that didn't belong to them in the first place? Christians did not invent the holiday and name it a holy day. In reality, Christmas has existed in one form or another for over 4,000 years, which is much longer than Christianity has existed. If anyone has a claim to the day,...

The choice of living together before marriage seems to be getting more popular by the year, yet the results of all polls seems to be divided as to whether it's a good idea.

There are many laws that govern the protection of all whale species. Some are very specific and designed only to protect whales and other marine mammals.
