Faith is a committed heart. Come what may, the faithful person honors that commitment. Each act is an act of faith. Faith is absolute. Qualified faith is not faith at all, in my book, The Holy Bible. Faith does indeed run counter to Reason. Reason is a creation of mankind's minds. We come to know, though, after we have exhaus... More..

Sweet girl, I know of the yearnings,The hurt and the jealousy, too,That arrives, and harbors and lingers,When one you desire spurns you.In short, there is someone,Who needs you,Has desired youRight from the start.Please don't keep meLocked out of your heart. More..

It is my will to love you;Whatever path you take.To pray the Lord be with you,In every move you make.If you should come where I am,Or head another way,My prayer will still be for you.The same from day to day:"Lord, may she walk in sunshineAlways in her heart;Thy will be done in her life,The praying be my part."

Religion & Spirituality > Religious Speculations & Criticisms Pushing your religion on others: 3 of 70

Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Going to the library: 1 of 15
The library came to me. Miss Markwell drove into the one room school yard with a converted truck that was called a "Bookmobile". It was 1943. Bun hairdo, glasses, erect bearing and definitely in charge; she personified the Library to this first grader. "I will need help in unloading books", she intoned. Her glance fell... More..
Arts & Humanities > Thoughts on Writing Why writers write: 16 of 193
Writers write for varied, personal reasons. Speechwriters, copy writers, ghost writers, journal (diary) writers, sports writers: many are the writers, many are their motivations. Some of us write to explain. Some write to sell (promotional). Perhaps the largest part of us write for effect. If one reads an author's "body of wo... More..
