Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: Death of a friend

3 of 62

We buried my grandfather in August of 2004. He died the "natural" way. We all call that "old and fragile."- The way we want to see everyone go. At my grandfather's funeral my nephew, Tim, sat next to my father and put his arm around him. He was nine years old. Looking at the generation gap between my dad and his grandson, I ... More..

Health & Fitness > Anxiety & Panic Disorders Struggles for those living with anxiety disorders

1 of 8

Four doctors, an ER visit, a CAT scan, and still mysteries. I have no medical insurance. That's another story. However, none of the doctors, or the ER doctor ever drew any blood. I was placed on antibiotics and told I had a sinus infection. Two weeks later, the pressure was still there. I went to the ER because the clinic I ... More..

Parenting & Pregnancy > Parenting Methods Harry Potter and the devil's influence

1 of 7

As a Christian Mother, I was torn between this for a little while. I love Harry Potter, and I attend church with people who are on both ends of the spectrum. Many stray away from it because it has witchcraft and sorcery. Many love it because it is full of fantasy and suspense. I haven't devoted a lot of time to reading the b... More..

Religion & Spirituality > New Age Concepts Do prayers work

9 of 25

I recently experienced a "dip" in my spiritual life. I prayed and prayed for a personal revival in my spiritual life and devotions, but felt nothing. One day, I was looking at an e-mail that someone sent me, and I got a personal reminder of the biggest revival in my life. It was a picture of Hurricane Francis taken from oute... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture You may be the only Bible some people will ever read

11 of 28

Listening to my favorite Christian radio station, I heard the DJ tell a story that brings into light this subject. He was at some event, promoting the radio station, when a man ran up to him and said, "You guys (referring to the station) are my Bible." He proceeded to tell that he was illiterate, and that listening to the ra... More..

A tiny, down feather escaped from my son's suede comforter and danced for me today. I had just finished dancing with my youngest daughter to Edward Grieg, and laid her on the couch for a nap. I sat at her feet and rubbed her legs, marveling at how greatly blessed I am to be a mother; when something happened. A little glimpse... More..

Parenting & Pregnancy > Feeding & Breastfeeding Should women be allowed to breastfeed in public areas?

47 of 105

As a mother of three, I had different breastfeeding experiences with each one. My first one was difficult, because I had her one week before I graduated high school. I was an honor graduate, with a full scholarship waiting on me. I tried to breastfeed, but had so many loose ends, like graduation, and honor assemblies to atte... More..

November 21, 1998. My parents, my six month old daughter, my eight year old niece, and I loaded up in the van to go on a three day long vacation in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I had hesitated to go. It would have been my first weekend without my husband. I really didn't want to leave, but I decided to make the most of it. As alw... More..

Entertainment > TV Genres & Trends Where have all the good sitcoms gone

Family time is hard to come by. With the hustle of homework and extra-curricular activities for the kids, and work, and other obstacles in daily lives, there's not usually a way to spend wholesome family time together. Game nights are good. Going on family walks together can be good, when the kids don't consider it a chore. ... More..

Relationships & Family > Siblings Who regrets having a twin sister

4 of 4

I think that my twin sister regrets having me for a twin. We are fraternal, and we look nothing alike. Growing up, she always seemed to have resentment for me. I could never say or do anything to please her. So, I gave up on trying to please her. In high school, we had Chemistry together. As luck would have it, we sat at the... More..
