Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Pain: 14 of 348

Pain isn't the hurt that you've endured, It's the tears that you cry after. Pain isn't the child who's known no words, It's the child who's known no laughter.

Creative Writing > Essays Essays: Christian: 1 of 6

What is a Christian? If I were to go to church every day, would that make me a Christian? A quote that I once heard gives me the answer to that question: "Just because you are in a garage, that does not make you a car. Just because you are in a church, that does not make you a Christian." So, cross that one out. If I were to...
Religion & Spirituality > Christianity (Other) Testimonies: Putting my trust in Jesus: 8 of 27

Trust is a tricky thing. When you think you know everything about it, something happens that convinces you that you just don't. I used to trust everyone and everything, but suddenly all my trust turned to dust and floated out my window through the cracks in the shutters. I've lost trust in anyone who speaks, and I haven't to...

Once upon a time, men and women alike refused to believe children's stories... most were too afraid to. Then, one day, those "children's stories" came to life.
