Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Life's paradox: 1 of 39
LIFE'S PARADOX It seems to me the saddest thing, like we're caught in some disjointed mystery, when I take a serious look at what is going on 'round me. Oh! The times we live in... What we're writing for posterity! It seems to me, it's not at all the way it ought to be. These paradoxes of our lives, I view with near righteou... More..

HAVING FAITH TO FOLLOW THROUGH Rays of Faith Joe, Mary and the kids, all four of them and the dog had planned a Saturday of fun in the great outdoors. Saturday morning when they woke up the sky was gray and threatening. Rain was sure to dampen their plans for a fun filled day. 'Well', Mary said to Joe, 'what do you want to d... More..

HEY GOD, I GOT A QUESTION Dear God, Almighty Heavenly Father, You said that I should talk to you about whatever is on my mind. Well, I'm feeling kind of out of sorts and angry. What happened, what went wrong at Columbine? Why didn't You save those children? Why didn't You intervene? God, they were just kids and they had so m... More..

BLACK BEARS AND BLUEBERRIES Being married and with children and both of us working full time jobs as well didn't leave a whole lot of "real" together time for us. It happened several years ago that I was blueberrying and just happened to make the acquaintance of a black bear. Well, we didn't really take all that much time to... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Autumn: 8 of 195
GEMS OF AUTUMN Crisp and fresh, these autumn days, though the nights grow frosty cold but there's wonder in this harvest time as the autumn weeks unfold in a display of radiant colors, mauve, crimson and gold, and the pumpkins in the fields are dressed in their carnelian gowns. Apple orchard boughs bend low with rubies in th... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Bible Study If Noah's ark is found, does that validate the Bible?: 1 of 21
SO WHAT ABOUT NOAH'S ARK? Here is how I see it: Here is one more explanation of the Great Flood. If suddenly someone actually does find Noah's Ark, would it change your view of God? Would you believe? Would finding Noah's Ark confirm the Bible to be the truth, God's Holy word in your mind? Probably not, there are too many qu... More..
Education > Education (Other) Do you really need an education to succeed in life?: 5 of 100
Do you really need an education to succeed in life? Of course you do. Now that I have stated that, I'm going to retract it a little bit. You do not need to have a Masters Degree or a PhD to be successful. The definition of one's success in life should not be measured by the size of their bank account, the manufacturer's labe... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Valentine's Day: 5 of 97
VALENTINES DAY THOUGHTS I'll not call you my valentine. You're much more dear to me than a lovely, sweet, endearing card on February the fourteenth to express how much I love you for I love you all the year and I hope I show you often not just when Valentine's Day is here because I'll love you for a lifetime... I will always... More..
Home & Garden > Home & Garden (Other) Why 'Home is where the heart is': 1 of 17
I live in a tiny but comfortable studio apartment with a nice southeast exposure that overlooks a beautiful river and waterfall. It isn't the best neighborhood, but then it isn't the worse neighborhood either. When I first moved in here, it was just shelter, a place to come to so I could be out of the elements, a place to ea... More..
Food & Drink > Fruits & Vegetables Tomatoes: 1 of 16
When you think of the tomato, what first comes to mind, the bright red addition to your leafy green salad, spaghetti sauce, pizza, ketchup, a bowl of soup? How about tomato pie or tomato soup cake? How about roasted and stuffed with rice, ground beef and herbs topped with a slice of melted cheddar cheese? Maybe what comes to... More..
