Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: My son: 2 of 145
I held my little boy today and looked him in the eyes;I noticed how he's changing soand leaps from size to size.His little conversations are more detailed than before;The many questions that he has I pray I won't ignore.Tomorrow isn't very far...yet I know in a day;He's growing more and more until he's grown and moved away.So...

Religion & Spirituality > Christianity (Other) Is the Bible a necessary part of a relationship with God: 1 of 48
Is the Bible a necessary part of a relationship with God? I believe it is very necessary but there are critical details that must be ironed out in such a blanket statement. In saying that the Bible is a necessary part of a person's relationship with God, it would have to be noted that if a Christian were abandoned on a desert... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Spiritual Life Is suicide an unforgiveable sin?: 4 of 68
I am not quite sure why people assume suicide is unforgivable; I have heard it mentioned that the individual committed murder of himself without asking forgiveness. Personally, this observation is quite heartless at best. When an individual has lived their life trying to manage mental illness, unbearable tragedy, or deep depr... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Religion & Spirituality (Other) The entrance requirements for getting into Heaven: 2 of 34

Once upon a time, according to Old Testament scripture, there were not only requirements but strict and very stringent guidelines by which a man could cleanse his soul and be forgiven for his inherited sinful nature and thus accepted by God. The price always involved the shedding of blood. The perfect spotless sacrifice, a sp... More..
Arts & Humanities > Thoughts on Writing The benefits of journaling: 10 of 148
Journaling is a more technical term for what we use to call writing in our diary. It depicts who you are, what you think and feel, and without a doubt it can become a score of conversations with God for the one who pens. When a person decides to begin journaling, they have begun a path of self balance or checks and balances, ... More..
Celebrations & Holidays > Celebrations & Holidays (Other) Your most meaningful family traditions: 26 of 348

As a child growing up I have to admit the only traditions we had were generic at best. Fortunately for me, God gave me a husband who, as the baby of eight children, could have created a dictionary for wonderful family traditions. My favorite has always been the birthday week. We are a family of five. My husband and I have thr... More..
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Automobile accidents: 3 of 34
Automobile accidents are the tragic entertainment of the highway. Everyone wants to know what happened, why, and who it happened to. Most of us are guilty of the term "rubber necking" when we pass by an accident on the road; whether overtly curious or covertly gazing and soaking in as much as the brief drive by will allow.Oft...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Life's paths: 35 of 284

Crossroads seem to come and go, lending ways i had not seen.Although my mind may have a plan,this place of choice leaves me speechless.Unaimed at anything but Christ.Goals once set become a bend not quite planned out.A change of pace or a pause all together.But when these almighty crossroads find me,my ever searching,always s...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Drowning in a pool of my own loneliness: 6 of 42
Slowly sinking, losing air; but no one hears my drowning prayer. So I grasp the float device, Was that joke on me? Are you being nice? Trying to float, but I'm losing strength, sinking alone, loved ones at arms length. How do you tell them without shedding blame, Your lonely and broken, without sounding lame? . Drowning in lo...

Parenting & Pregnancy > Child Discipline Strategies Is time-out an effective discipline strategy for children?: 4 of 28

As a parent of three sons, I believe I have learned a little regarding discipline and the working strategies of well meaning parents. We desperately want our yes to be yes and our no to be no, however, when we say no to our 3 year old and then he does it any way without consequence, there is no deterrent to him doing it again...
