Relationships & Family > Cheating Spouses & Affairs Adultery: Affairs are a "forgivable sin": 2 of 77

Adultery is forgivable but that does not mean all people are able to forgive it. To suggest one should forgive adultery is beyond reason as much as someone actually committing the act. I believe all adultery should be forgiven, but I do not also believe forgiving adultery means that marriage should always continue. Some peop...
Politics, News & Issues > People in the News Should Senator Larry Craig (R-ID) have resigned?: 2 of 24

Public officials who violate the public trust and bring shame on themselves, as well as the country they represent, should have the guts to step down from representing us. Disgraced Republican President Richard Nixon had the guts to step down after the Watergate scandal and spared our country even more shame. Republican Spea...
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Hate: 3 of 24

As a child, I was protected from most of the world by my parents. All was well and I was happy with my life as I had experienced it. I received a very rude awakening when I entered public school. I was somehow perceived as very different from the rest of the children. I was very skinny and wore different styles of clothes fr...
Relationships & Family > Love & Relationships Essays: Infatuation: 1 of 8

Infatuation is an often misunderstood emotional reaction to a typically physical attraction. Notice I did not say emotion. I believe love is an emotion and infatuation is a chemical reaction in the brain to certain stimuli that pleases and confuses the brain on a few levels but falls far short of the depth of the most beauti...
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Rainbows: 1 of 8

Of all the natural phenomena I have ever observed, the rainbow is one of my favorites. Rainbows are not audible, so they often go undetected. A person must be somewhat observant and actually taking in their surroundings to notice a rainbow. Rainbows probably are considered so special because a person is highly in tune with t...
Sports & Recreation > Baseball Players Building baseball's all-time greatest team: 3 of 23

The all time best starting lineup in baseball would have to have Nolan Ryan as the starting pitcher. He has power with routine fastballs over 100 mph. Control is no problem as he has over 5000 strikeouts in his career. He has the ability to keep the batter guessing or just overpower him, as he has 7 no hitters to his credit....
Religion & Spirituality > Ghosts & Paranormal Phenomena Seeing ghosts: 5 of 37

As a college student, I would often hear people talk about ghost experiences but usually chalked it up to them being a bit loony or even having a serious mental disorder. I did continue to read about the famous haunted areas in North Carolina and even discussed with other college students about visiting these sites some nigh...
Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: My unusual hobby: 1 of 7

My Unusual Hobby - Crisis in the Bee Yard (value of records) Beekeeping is a wonderful, if unusual, hobby I thoroughly enjoy. I had a most interesting experience in my bee yard today that I do not want to repeat. Those records we should be keeping along with a real life application of my college logic course (if this then th...
Food & Drink > Food & Drink (Other) Thoughts on food and beverages: 6 of 41

I grew up in the southern Appalachian mountains of Western North Carolina. Natives of this area, though in the south, have a very unique accent, dialect and preference for foods. When I grew up, my mother considered breakfast the most important meal of the day. She always said, "if you are going to work or learn you need a g...
Politics, News & Issues > US Leaders Was Bush right to commute "Scooter" Libby's jail sentence?: 1 of 6

Whether or not President Bush was right or wrong in commuting Mr. Libby's Sentence is actually a complicated question, more so than one may at first think. I would hope that if I ever am found guilty of a crime, the judge would go easy on me as a first offender. That is commonly practiced and expected given our legal system ...
