Relationships & Family > Male / Female Communication Styles How to be vulnerable: 3 of 53

I wish I could say that vulnerability is easy. But, that would be lying. Speaking from the perspective of a male, I can assure you that vulnerability was not an encouraged thing in childhood. In fact, I was encouraged to behave quite to the opposite. That being an attitude of "suck it up" and "men don't show weakness" the ma...
Relationships & Family > Communication (Other) When to tell and when to keep secrets: 2 of 13

When it comes to things to tell and things to keep secret, I can definitely say I have had my share of both in my life. But there are a couple that "take the cake" for me. But before I get to that, let me explain something first. Due to the nature of the stories and to the respecting of privacy, I am not including names in t...
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture What it means to be created in God's image: 3 of 15

I wish to start this article by saying that I don't know it all or claim to have a "lock on the truth". All this is is simply my views, interpretations, and beliefs on the subject. Nothing more, nothing less. That being said, here we go. To be created in God's image has been a topic many have pondered about. What did God mea...

Jobs & Careers > Jobs & Careers (Other) Does a college degree really pay off: 3 of 10

Well there is no cut and dry simple answer to this really. You see, it depends on the job as to how much the college degree matters. I have friends who are on both sides of this issue. On one hand take the story of my good friend ,A.(I will not be mentioning actual names or initials to protect privacy.) He never did any coll...
Style & Beauty > Clothing Tips & Advice For men: How to pick the perfect pair of jeans: 4 of 12

The reality is that jeans, like many things we purchase, say something about who you are, or how you want to be perceived. With that in mind, let's consider these factors: * Does price matter to you? How and why? * Does brand name make a difference to you? How and why? * Does the way the jeans fit you make a difference? How ...
Autos > Fuel Economy Are high fuel prices necessary?: 5 of 14

Necessary...what an interesting word in relation to the prices we pay. Is it necessary to charge a price for fuel? Yes. Is it necessary to pay the price we are paying? No. But, I am not of the mindset of many who would jump on the band wagon of blaming the oil companies for all the fuel price problems. I am friends with a ma...
Religion & Spirituality > Speculations & Criticisms Christian eschatology: Will the upcoming US presidential election signify any end time events?: 7 of 17

Is apocalypse looming at the door? Is all this talk about 2012 being the end of the world right? Will the elections in the US later this year seal our fate? All of it sounds like a bunch of hyper-spiritualism to many of the world, but is it possible that we are approaching the end? Is it even imminent as some are saying? Wil...
Relationships & Family > Male / Female Communication Styles How negativity affects your relationship: 23 of 46

Being negative can be a great thing, if your a battery, or magnet. This certainly does not ring true though when speaking about negativity in a relationship. We have heard it said that stick and stones may break our bones, but words will never hurt us. However, that saying may not be accurate at all. In recent years there ha...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Religion of spirituality: 14 of 20

A Father's Cry I know you, You are mine, But you hide from me, Why? Is it your pride? Is it your fear? All I ask is for an open ear. Running frantically in desperate search of life, Searching to fill a love and completion only I can give, If only you would listen, If only you would take the time, Let me show you what I have ...
