Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Beyond love: 1 of 31
Cry of souls I know the cry of your soul, for it is mine. I can hear it in the distant sound of your heart beat, in the sounds of the sweet earth, in the misty rain that falls, in the crashing of the ocean or the sweet silence of snowfall, I can feel you; I can sense your presence just as surely as I know you can ...

Frozen We've been on this path before, said these very words before; Years have passed, and still we are in the same spot. Are we afraid to move, or is there something we enjoy about being frozen? I think of how we used to be; I think of all that we could be. Still, I am unmoving and so are you. Life is funny with its ... More..

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: September 11, 2001 and beyond: 3 of 54
On September 11, 2001 men and women in Charlotte woke up, got dressed, got the kids off to school and went to work. On that morning, lives were turned upside down in a matter of moments. We watched the unfolding news as the planes crashed into the twin towers in NYC. We watched the collapse as people were either buried in the... More..
Relationships & Family > Marriage & Divorce (Other) Is not having sex with your spouse a crime: 2 of 31

Love is about selfless giving, and sometimes that love is expressed sexually. Withholding sex in a marital relationship is just a... More..

Love, so strong... yet so fragile, dances to a rhythm of its choosing in a world filled with shadows, fueled by a distant sun. We rise and fall with each inner stirring; W... More..
Relationships & Family > Dating Psychology Juggling men: How to feel guilt-free when dating multiple men: 2 of 28
The phrase "juggling men" is a phrase that is often used. Still, it leaves a bad taste in one's mouth. It brings to mind a woman who cannot make up her mind, a woman who is never satisfied, a woman who is "loose".Dating more than one man does not have to mean any of those things. Every man that a woman meets is unique and has... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture Can you be a Christian, and support Roe vs. Wade?: 1 of 14
Supporting Roe v. Wade has nothing to do with being a Christian. Being a Christian simply means that you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. You are saved by faith, not by works. Jesus Christ died on the cross for all of your sins. He died for the mother who chooses to abort her baby just as He died for the mo... More..
