"Look.. it's cheap, and it's 5.9% alcohol," he say shutting the cooler door. Several steps, and a few crusty one dollar bills later, and we'... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Bible Study The story of the Tower of Babel: 3 of 9
The story of the Tower of Babel is one of the first to have God simply confuse the speech of mankind instead of wiping it out. When we read this we wonder why?

Quite honestly there is no description that would best fit God's presence, because God is everything.

God is that feeling in your legs and the chill down you... More..

The floor was nice and cold, just like he was James thought to himself. Everything he'd done was in preparation for this moment. A crippling reality. Insanity. Some of the blackest thoughts he'd ever had. All over now. He didn't want love. Love was this thing that existed in movies only. It wasn't a woman. Women, like love, ... More..
Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: Soldier tales: 31 of 88
When most hear the word soldier they automatically think of a man or woman who serves in the military. Growing up on the East Side, the term soldier meant something different, but still the same... By the end of the Sixties, peace and love had been taken over by violence and drugs. The entire landscape was every man for hims... More..

Politics, News & Issues > US Politics (Other) Defending the position of the United States in the world: 9 of 25
I'll start this by stating I support the troops, but not the President. I don't know how many times I've gotten into serious debates over the President's continued stance on Iraq.. and yes, it has a lot to do with me.

Not enough to break it though, damn things cost too much. Sitting up on the side of the bed he looks back at the other side, empty and unslept on, and turns on the television. "Morn... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues If God is so powerful, why does evil exist: 26 of 71
Most seem to believe in "free will," which might be the reason evil exists. You see, when you take power, or think you take power, from God.. God reminds you who IS in power with horrors and atrocities that your mind could never fathom. So why does evil exist then? Because it has to. Realizing this sounds like a philosophica... More..
