Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Raising boys: 3 of 48
As I write this article, wondering what do I know about raising boys, I glance over mine; a two (almost three) and four year old, respectively. They are a tangled ball of toddler arms and legs sprawled out across the living room floor, rolling this way and tumbling that. I don't know how these melees begin, or what ultimatel... More..
Health & Fitness > Diet Tips How to avoid diet pitfalls: 1 of 14
The health industry is rife with misinformation. Perhaps nowhere is this more evident than with nutrition.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Looking for hope: 2 of 12
Dear Lord as I bow my head to pray,I'm grateful You have dulled the painOf troubles I have borne today,In my life so frivolous-so vain.I have lost my way; my heart is spent.Not but slivers of hope remain;Hang in there, man, and stay hell bentIs my friends' repeated, dull refrain.They mean well, Lord, this I know is true.But I...

Parenting & Pregnancy > Parenthood Parenthood issues: How fatherhood changes a man: 3 of 17
I grew up in a household with four sisters and a brother who were largely raised by their father throughout their teenage years, our mother taken away much too early by cancer.

Religion & Spirituality > Religion & Spirituality (Other) The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: 5 of 26
Fear of God leads to humility before Him. Humility creates a teachable disposition, which fosters learning. Learning of God and about God, approached from this place of humility, yields wisdom. Fear-humility-teachability-wisdom. Thus it is written repeatedly: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Indeed, several pa... More..
Health & Fitness > Pilates & Yoga Bikram yoga explained: 2 of 9
It has been over 10 years since I last was able to touch my toes with my knees straight. When, as an elementary school student, my classmates and I were put through a battery of standardized fitness assessments, my flexibility was off the charts. Off in the wrong direction! I was strong as an ox, at least relatively so for a... More..

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: On poems: 45 of 192
WORDS ON A PAPERI marvel at those who've created a poem,With pen in hand they splash words on a paper,Bringing thoughts that once scattered, cleverly home,To reside in their pen marks as words on a paper.So wonderful, I think, a mind free to drift;While squiggles of ink become words on a paper.It's amazing, it seems, and my s...

Do pets make you healthier? According to an article published in the University of Missouri MU News Bureau, there is reason to believe so.

Parenting & Pregnancy > Parenthood Fatherhood: How being a dad makes you a better person: 6 of 20
A recently married friend asked me about fatherhood the other day. He always knew he would want to have kids some day, but at 28 and barely 6 months into his marriage, he was in no rush. However, his wife had been increasingly talking 'baby talk' at what he considered to be an alarming rate. She hasn't come right out and said... More..
