Yes, we are products of our environment, but only to a certain point. Although we are undoubtedly affected by our environment, especially our childhood environment, we are also a product of our own beliefs and choices.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Christmas: 17 of 231
The Manger The angels came down on Christmas morn,Proclaiming good news- a Savior's born! Born a child and yet a King "Glory to God!" the angels sing.Born in a stall, so damp and cold,Born to fulfill the prophecies old. Born for His own; His life to lay down. A manger's his cradle; His cross is our crown. More..

A frog took a nap on a lily padAnd when he awoke he was really quite mad.Spring had sprung and he wanted to mateOh no! All the froggie girls had picked out hot dates.Who knew how to sing and knew how to croakAnd unlike our hero were really not broke.But he caught many flies and wiped his sad eyes.He decided right then that he...

Entertainment > Movie Genres Best musicals of all time: 3 of 35
1. Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat. This Andrew Lloyd Webber musical retells the Bible story of Joseph. I love the songs because they are lively, funny, or touching and help you see the human side of the story. You see Joseph being just a little too proud of his wonderful coat in one song and bragging about his wonderful... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Churches & Organizations Christian evangelists: Helpful or hurtful: 2 of 22
Do you help or hinder people in their search for God? Sensitivity is called for. A non-Christian group that is not very sensitive to people is Jehovah's Witnesses. They often come knocking at your door on Saturday mornings and push you to take their literature. I know they are sincere, but I don't appreciate their trying to e... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Spirituality (Other) How to tell if you're being spiritually abused: 2 of 20
A pastor is to be a shepherd to his flock, treating them with compassion as Jesus, the Good Shepherd did. Jesus died for His sheep to give them eternal life. A pastor who leaves you more broken, not less, after you have talked with them is not showing the true nature of Jesus. If the pastor or church leadership is demanding a... More..

School is always such a big part of a child's life! Here are some of my favorite early school memories, from grade 7 working back to grade 3. In grade 7, we knew that our Christian school, CNCS, was going to close down after that year. That year was bittersweet. We all 7 liked our teacher and our classmates in grade 7-8. We ... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Meditation & Prayer Devotionals: Fully resting in God: 1 of 7
Ever try sleeping on a hard mattress that won't let you rest? Trying to find rest by working hard to please God is just as frustrating and pointless. Learn to rest on the everlasting arms that were nailed to the Cross for His pleasure and our redemption.Worry is a sure sign that we are not resting in God. Someone has said: If... More..
Food & Drink > Drinks (Other) What is your favorite beverage?: 9 of 62
I will start my favorite beverage list by mentioning the ones I am most grateful for when sick. Liquid comfort is essential when one is not feeling good and needs to stay hydrated. When I am sick, I find nothing makes me feel better than ginger ale for stomach upset and hot honey lemon tea for colds. While I am not normally a... More..
Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: Your earliest memory: 51 of 310
I have always enjoyed singing. Perhaps this is partly because my earliest clear memory is of my mother singing me hymns, choruses and children's songs to me when I was a preschooler. She sings soprano, and we had great times singing together. She would sing "Heavenly Sunshine", "I've Got the Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy Down in my Hear... More..
