About me - Angel Rae

My real name is not Angel Rae. But, my real job involves managing the orders for my family's comic book and sports collectibles company. Before settling into a more kid-centered life, I was a freelance journalist, working for the Sun-Sentinel newspaper in

My first exposure to Christian activism came when I was just three years old. My mother pushed me around in a stroller, while she protested the opening of an adult book store. It was my first time holding onto one of those wooden-handled protest signs. And, although I did not understand what cause we had declared war on, I di... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Party Politics & Ideology Choosing a political party
6 of 38

We've got two parties in this country:Republicans - represented by lock-jawed, pit bulls who can't or won't take the time to differentiate friend from foe before viciously attacking. They seem incapable of budging an inch on any matters directly effecting security, big business, or their bellies.Democrats - represented by a c... More..

Creative Writing > Humor Humor: A day at the beach

The BeachI went to the beach today.That place has a strange effect on people.For instance, ordinarily I pass when someone asks to char my flesh. But this afternoon, I offered my body up freely. I even paid $10 to park. I find that arguments for "needing a little color" are more sensible the closer I get to salt water. I don't... More..

Celebrations & Holidays > Birthdays Great birthday party themes for boys
4 of 13

Growing up with Barbie on the birthday plates, it was hard to imagine planning a boyish bash. But, shortly after my son arrived in March of 2001, I began to embrace the "frogs and snails and puppy dog tails" associated with the new, little man in my life. And, over the years, I have found that although parties for boys tend t... More..

It is a 30 minute drive from my current residence to my parent's house.And, as I drove to their house last week, I suddenly noticed all the people trying to speak with their cars: via bumper stickers, vanity plates, stuffed animals waving through back windows, etc. And, I started to think about why we use our cars to advertis...

Celebrations & Holidays > Gifts for Women Best baby gifts for new mothers

What babies lack in size, they make up for in expense.More like outfitting an army than an eight-pounder, infants require new parents to furnish a pint-sized world within their home.From the beds they sleep in to the utensils they eat with, children need things "kid-sized." And, the price tags are anything but.Not to fear. Th... More..

Some debts cannot be paid back.They are so monumentally overwhelming that a bankruptcy must occur.I think the race account is such a debt.Over hundreds of years, the cost of hate and injustice has racked up so exponentially, that it is hard to put into words an exact figure.And, I believe the United States and its citizens ha...

Religion & Spirituality > Christianity (Other) Is the world today out of control
28 of 37

Christians are creatures of panic.Maybe it started with a fire and brimstone children's church leader, who shared way too many stories of kids who had come before you, rejected God's prompting, and subsequently died in a fiery motorcycle crash later that afternoon. Perhaps it was a sex talk, like mine, which assured that Jesu... More..

My mother is affectionately known by family and friends as The Queen of the Junk Shops.From California to Florida, she has traveled the country in search of just the right knick-knacks, bric-a-brac and curios to flesh out her dust bunnies. Oops, I meant her collection. But the last "one that got away" from my favorite bargain... More..
