What is Helium

About me - Margaret Radisich Sleasman

I have many interests, love reading mystery books, anything about tigers, and grandkids (not particularly in that order). I wrote a Bible study and am pretty much unmoveable in my literal biblical view. I am attempting to write a couple mysteries one for

Religion & Spirituality > Religious Speculations & Criticisms Church: To go or not to go: 1 of 86
The question whether to go to church or not should be answered first with the question "Why do you go to church?" We already know that God tells us in His Word to assemble ourselves together and that we need to fellowship with others and to study the Word in order to grow. We also know that we don't have to go to a particular... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Heaven, Hell & Afterlife What happens when we die?: 3 of 193
"We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord." II Corinthians 5:8 "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done whether it be good or bad." II Corinthians 5:10 Those tw... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Bible Study Your favorite verse in the Bible, and what it means to you: 5 of 252
It is extremely hard to pick just one verse; I looked through all the articles and thought, "Oh that one," and then, "Oh, that has got to be the one." Most of the ones mentioned are favorites of mine; but giving more thought to the matter, Psalm 73:25 says it the best. "Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon e... More..
Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Family memories: 2 of 85
My family, on my mother's side, were all ADHD so there was no end to the confusion. People at that time just thought we were eccentric (or evil), since ADHD had not been diagnosed yet. I think if any of us had gone to a psychiatrist in those early days, we would have caused him to go crazy. Our family was like the "blonde jo... More..
Creative Writing > Short Stories Children's bedtime stories: 1 of 28
I am a black and silver German shepherd with a pedigree of champions. I came to my family when I was seven months old after growing up in a kennel. I really hated it there - all boxed in a kennel run, the owner hosed the kennel down (and me) every day - it made me very angry. My owner decided to visit a friend and she took... More..
Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Writing: 1 of 25
I love to write even when I have nothing to say, I just start typing and when something coherent comes up on the page, I am happy. People who have read my stuff have commented that they thought I was insane. This has to be a plus; for example, Stephen King, there is no doubt he is insane and look at the money he rakes in. I r...

Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues Does God know the future?: 1 of 21
God, the great I AM knows all, sees all, and is in control of all. To those that say if He knows someone is going to go to hell, He doesn't really love them nor do anything to change their ending - then He either cannot know their choice (ending) or he is a hateful God and is sending them to hell; you are sadly mistaken. God ... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Why we can't see God: 2 of 38
"And he (God) said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live." Exodus 33:20; "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and truth." John 4:24; "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God... More..
Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Growing old: 8 of 130
Driver's license at 66 I am really not old, or so I thought; life is creeping up on me pretty fast. You would think aches and pains would be hard enough to live with, but no, you have daily humiliation too. This is one of many. I went in to renew my driver's license yesterday. I joked that I was going to fuzz my hair to ... More..
Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: Remembering: 2 of 32
I have a couple of reflections that I really don't know where to put, there seems to be no title fitting for the ramblings of an old woman. Visiting back in the 50's and 60's was a lot different than it is now, back then we used to thrive on company; but now, we prefer to be alone with our computers, TVs, and music. When I ... More..
