I have been disabled for 13 years now and I should be doing something with my time. I have been told many times that I should be writing. If so, now is the time.

Politics, News & Issues > Family Law Should US citizens accused of domestic abuse lose the right to bear arms?: 1 of 27
While it is true that some abusers use firearms on their victims, it is not true in all cases. As a victim of domestic abuse, I can truthfully say I was only threatened three times with a firearm. A true abuser will use anything they can get their hands on to beat their victim and some of their tactics are more terrifying tha... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Theories of Spirituality The lack of 'Balance' in spirituality: 1 of 22
We are wrongfully taught, at least in my opinion, that as Christians, we should all be doing the same thing at the same time in the same way. While Jesus taught the apostles God's truths, each apostle saw something a little differently than the other. This shows up by the difference in the Gospels. They are slight but they ar... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Where was God on 9/11?: 4 of 48
On 9/11, God was where He always is, sitting on His Throne, watching His creations. To God, this was not a shock as it was to us, as God knows our thoughts and has known us since before we were born.We think of the terrorists as the bad guys and we think of us as good people. We judge these thoughts by the things we see and c... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Family Law Should abortion for underage children require parental consent?: 6 of 52
The very question answers itself. These are CHILDREN we are talking about. While we all feel we can make up our own minds as to what we want to do, children do not have the mental capacity to think things through. They are growing, physically and mentally, and always feel they know more than their old fogy parents. They made ... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms Should hanging a noose in public be considered a hate crime?: 4 of 25
Having lived in the south for 6 years, hanging a noose is definitely a hate crime, if not a terroristic crime. Just because the civil war was fought years ago, with the south losing, does not mean that the war is over. The KKK sells donuts on intersections in Georgia Saturday mornings in full grab. How much more blatant can y... More..
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Family conflict: 21 of 101
Life on Pleasant Street was so serene. The younger children played in the woods and creek in the summer and rode down hill in the winter. The older kids would join the younger ones in the evenings in summer and play hide and seek after dark. The women would have coffee together some days and the men talked on the porch in the... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Soldiers & Veterans Why Americans should support the troops!: 18 of 79
Society changed so much during Vietnam. I grew up in a small town that had lost quite a few boys to WW11 and Korea and they weren't forgotten. It was with pride that we viewed the boys fresh out of high school going into the military, whether they were drafted or had enlisted. And when they came home on their first leave, it ... More..
Health & Fitness > Medical Ethics Is physician-assisted euthanasia a patient's right?: 10 of 38
As a Christian, I find this is a very tough issue. As a human being, the issue becomes less clouded. I think it was harder before I got older and became entangled in so much pain. It gets easier day by day.Having worked in nursing homes before the "great nursing home reform", it was a common happening to have the nurse pull t... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Self-Healing Reflections: Guilt: 7 of 22
I am talking with my son, wanting to know if he is being treated okay, does he need anything, is there anything I can do? He is on one side of a window talking through a phone to me on the other side. He is in jail with 3 felonies and 2 misdemeanors. I just found out he was there and had demanded the sheriff let me see him ev... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Religious Concepts (Other) Is the Christmas tree a religious symbol?: 14 of 43
Using of a Christmas tree is most probably a religious symbol because of the trees in the Garden of Eden. I feel that to most religious people, the tree represents the tree of life; the birth of Jesus as the Life. In the Garden Adam and Eve could eat of everything except the tree of good and evil. So now that they know Jesus ... More..
