About me - Natasha L. Kohlhoff Polak

My name is Natasha (Kohlhoff) Polak, and I have been writing ever since I was a child and loved books. I suppose it was my destiny to become a writer-what with having an unusual maiden name, and now a married name. To me, writing is what makes the world go

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Secrets: 21 of 136
Whispered thoughts trapped inside, Locked within a troubled mind. Lurking, prodding, taunting me- Why can't they just let me be? I don't want to share what I know, And if you ask me, I'll just say no. But yet my words are at the tip of my tongue- I don't know how much longer I can play dumb. Secrets! Why the secrets that I h... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Bible Study Bible: Word of God or work of the devil?: 19 of 115
The Bible as the word of God? Of course! To think otherwise is devilish in itself. There is no way that Satan could write the Bible and speak of good things that are pure when he is the chief of sin. Anyone swayed into thinking Satan is the author of the Bible does not know theology, and they've not read the Bible and unders... More..
Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Cat behavior: 21 of 125
Our cat thinks he's high and mighty - not a plain old cat, that's for sure. From the day my husband brought him home as a kitten, his lively spirit emerged. As a stray barn cat, we thought for sure he'd be a loner. Boy, were we in for a surprise! Because Mickey is anything but that - not only does he run to the door whenever... More..
Creative Writing > Novel Excerpts Novel excerpts: Fate: 3 of 17
Jocelyn dug through her cosmetics bag, searching for her lip balm, as she sat in her car outside the grocery store on a Sunday afternoon. It was three years later, and she had moved around St. Louis, from one side of the city to the other, from apartment to apartment. She liked the city, just not necessarily the areas she ch... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Speculations & Criticisms An anti-christian epidemic: 3 of 17
Just recently I heard on the radio that there is a rise in anti-Christian movements. Hearing that made me quite sad, because what our world needs right now is God. So much of what keeps happening all around us is due to our lack of following Biblical principles and withhold neighborly love. Sad to say, but there are even man... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Self-Awareness & Realization Finding your life's purpose: 20 of 110
Finding your life's purpose can be done by reading The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. Seriously. It is a gem when it comes to how to live for Jesus in everything that you do here on Earth. I received the book 5 years ago, and have read it 3 times so far. Not back-to-back, but during seasons in my life where I have been ... More..
Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: Engagement: 2 of 11
When my boyfriend of seven years proposed, it was nothing like out of a movie. It was nothing romantic. We weren't even out on a date! Our engagement and everything surrounding it was totally out of the ordinary, starting a week earlier... We ate dinner, and he said to me "Tomorrow I have to go downtown, but it has nothing t...

Religion & Spirituality > Comparative Religion Is there one, true religion that is better than all the others?: 29 of 159
If there were one true religion, the only place it would be is Heaven! Because there has never been a time in history when everyone could co-exist happily and be one faith. First, there were our predecessors Adam and Eve and their offspring. After the dispersement of languages to all the people at Babel, that is really when ... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Spiritual Life Resisting the tendency toward revenge: 5 of 27
Taking revenge is a natural tendency, as a form of defense when wronged. In the spiritual realm however, what we find natural to feel is usually not how God wants us to feel. "'Vengeance is Mine' saith the Lord" is a quote from scripture that stands out in my mind. Whenever we are dealt harshly, accused of something we didn'... More..
Autos > Cars First car memories: 11 of 58
Ahhh, my first car. The one I received after graduating high school would be it! I got to pick it out at the dealership, and boy was I excited! There it stood, the 1998 Chevy Cavalier sedan in hunter green. Oh, how I loved that car! At the time, it met my needs. All I needed it for was to drive to work and to the store. It t... More..
