There are times in our livesWhen we wonder why,God didn't listen to us,Didn't He hear us cry?We asked Him for helpTo save our loved one.Our prayers must be unheard,There was an answer for none.But maybe the prayer He answeredBelonged to another,And he asked God,"Please Lord, I love her.""Don't put her throughAnother day,Of wo...

Health & Fitness > Childhood Disorders The pros and cons of medicating children with ADD or ADHD

2 of 17

Ah yes, the ever ongoing finger pointing war between the Ritaliners and the NonMedicators. Well, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. It is a book by Dr. Kevin Ross Emery called ADD: Managing the Gift (www.kevinrossemery.com). I think everyone should read it, as it sheds new light on an old subject. It truly considers ... More..

18 of 40

No, kindergarten should not be a full day. You could argue that they get the half day in pre-school to adjust.

There are many wonderful educational programs for children, and I know that my own have learned a lot from watching TV. They have even taught me things from what ... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Religion & Spirituality (Other) Should one's faith influence a citizen's vote?

There is no answer but yes. Don't you have to have "faith" in your candidate that they are going to be the best leader? Faith plays into all our decisions in life, either consciously or subconsciously. Even those who claim they have no faith, no belief in God or an Afterlife, have faith. They have the faith that nothing exist... More..

It was a bright fall day, and the leaves were changing color. Little chipmunk and her mother were scurrying along, looking for nuts to store for winter.
