Relationships & Family > Children & Divorce Should you stay for the sake of the kids?: 1 of 41

If I am sure of anything I am sure that staying together for the sake of the kids is a good thing, but it is not the best thing. . . . Stay for that reason, and your heart will certainly be wrung out like an old dishrag. Recently I wrote a piece that I kind of feel was a "woe is me" article. I was in one of my black moods, a...

Celebrations & Holidays > Celebrations & Holidays (Other) The symbols of Passover: 1 of 7

Every March or early April, Jewish homes observe certain symbols associated with the historic background of Passover. Take the matzo. The holy cracker. They look like your typical saltines.

Call it an Easter Sunday gift. If his soaring approval ratings weren't enough, the rescue of Captain Richard Phillips from kidnapping pirates made President Obama look like a genius.

Arts & Humanities > Philosophical Concepts Is this a perfect world: 10 of 48

George Bernard Shaw said, ''This is a world which our own folly keeps from being a paradise.' There are still natural disasters, floods, fires, mudslides, volcanic activity, earthquakes, tornadoes, tsunamis, etc. That's alot right there even if the races got along. So it seems redundant to say, no, this isn't a perfect world...
Creative Writing > Essays Essays: Religion: 6 of 28

For as long as I can remember, I have inwardly believed in that great faith once delivered to the saints. More times than I can remember, I've cursed our common father, Adam. It's hard to get through a day without turning on the news. Indeed, the wickedness in the earth is making my love wax cold. I suppose every Christian q...
