What is Helium

About me - Will Emaus

I work in the Premedia industry; people have been telling me I should be a writer as long as I can remember so I thought this might be an interesting place to try it out.

I'll probably just stick with the subjects I really care about for now...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Anything is possible: 13 of 165
I stood on a hill. Everything that I can't do entered my head... I know myself, I know my fears. I know that I've failed. Every day, I learn more about why. I realized, that if I solved me that I could do anything. The only limit is in my mind... More..
Computers & Technology > Internet Issues Why the Internet is killing print journalism: 2 of 23
I wouldn't argue that online publication is killing print publication, however online publication in some cases has become the primary tool to reach an audience with Print being a complimentary tool. We really haven't reached the day yet where that is true in the majority of publication work but we are certainly on the path w... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues The ultimate religious dilemma: God knowing all vs. free will: 3 of 26
There is no question that part of the mystery of God rests in the fact that scripture must be discerned in many cases rather than it being spelled out as a black and white fact. The subject of whether God knows all vs. man having free will you'd think would be fairly easy to discern but it sure doesn't seem to be, in fairness... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: A beautiful moment: 1 of 8
I stood on a hill, carrying a sled. The night sky was black. In the distance I could see lights. I saw a world. It was a city lit up. I'm just a little boy. Why do I care? Sled down your hill little boy. But instead I stare at the sky, the distant lights in the black sky. Something's missing. The lights are telling me somethi... More..
Politics, News & Issues > News Industry How the media is going out of control: 2 of 15
A silver balloon streaking across the Colorado sky. The media's dream. Certainly the plight of 6 year-old Falcon Heene riveted the world's attention on October 15th, and all of the news networks carried the drama of the balloon flight wire to wire as it happened for almost 2 hours. The drama occupied 7 of the 10 trending topi... More..
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Struggle: 3 of 19
Struggle has a way of defining you, in my case it was what I needed to grow up and make something out of myself. I should have had the talent to do anything I wanted; I had the smarts to pull all A's and win awards and spelling bees, I was athletic enough to compete with virtually anyone at any sport, but whether it was depre...

Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture Does God love some more than others?: 1 of 6
In 2006, I lived down the road from a bunch of Amish schoolchildren that were killed at the hands of a deranged gunman. I had moved from the area a couple of months before the incident but nonetheless it had a profound impact on me. I had moved to Lancaster Pa. for a job opportunity a few years earlier and when I took the job... More..
Jobs & Careers > Professionalism Workplace horror stories: 6 of 33
I used to work as a technical "specialist" quite a few years back and was part of a much larger manufacturing group. I had done the work necessary to get promoted into management and then some, but I was considered somewhat "indespensable" in what I was doing so I hadn't gotten an opportunity to move up the ladder. There was ... More..
Entertainment > Music (Other) Rock music festivals: 2 of 11
The American Rock Festival, Kalamazoo Michigan on May 27th, 1984 was a festival supposedly like any other. Of course, promoters had been trying to stage another Woodstock at various points since it happened; the best beyond the 60's era being Cal Jam I and II and the US Festival of '83 in California. The American Rock Festiva... More..
Relationships & Family > Gay & Lesbian Issues Should the United States legalize gay marriage?: 7 of 37
In all honesty, if I thought God was OK with gay marriage then it would be alright with me. I don't have a viewpoint on this subject that intends to judge, but in my honest opinion there are clear words in scripture regarding homosexuality that regards it as sin, and it is also clear that God intends for marriage to be betwee...
