Go Slowly

By Joseph J. Mazzella on March 25, 2019 / 4,107 views

I tend to go slowly when I drive in the mountains of my home. I am never in much of a hurry. The forest scenery is beautiful no matter what the season. And it is easier to miss the potholes which spring up like dandelions this time of the year. This morning I was driving even slower than usual because an early March snow had turned the roads slick and slippery. Going up a mountain road I had slowed down to...

Judge Not, Lest Ye Be Dead Wrong!

By Rick on March 18, 2019 / 5,953 views

My wife and I parked at a trailhead the same time as a young man with a distorted gate. He was covered in tattoos. I assumed he was on drugs, so we tried to distance ourselves from him. But he struggled hard to catch up and wanted to talk some. We slowed down. He said he was recovering from a bad time in his life. And yes, we found he did lots of drugs! We politely left him in the dust, heading up river. An...

The Brave Heart!

By Anjali Mohapatra on March 18, 2019 / 5,585 views

As the train picked up it's speed, the passengers slowly settled down on their seats. I reserved the lower berth, so that I could enjoy the beauty of out side from the moving train. I don't know why I always preferred to get the window seat. An elderly lady occupied the front seat of mine. I looked at her. She must be in her eighties, I guessed. At one point, we met our eyes. She smiled at me. With...

Self Help

By Nicholas MacIneskar on March 18, 2019 / 4,204 views

OK, here's the deal. I've just been run over by a car – been in an accident. Except they say you can't use the word 'accident' because it implies blame. But what the hell, I have been in an accident and, oh boy, am I blaming someone. I didn't get a good look, of course. It happened too quickly. A step off the sidewalk, a rush of wind, something blue and metallic coming...

Thanks Kai

By Joseph J. Mazzella on March 18, 2019 / 3,736 views

The first time I saw Kai she was sitting in my front yard, hugging my dog, Harley. She and her husband Sean had just moved into a tiny home down the hill from us. I think she was drawn to Harley's friendly personality just as he was drawn to hers. From the second I talked to her I knew Kai would be a cherished friend. Her smile and good cheer made me feel better just being around her. Her high voice was...

Signing For A Deaf Man

I work at bar in the evenings, and I'm also fluent in sign language. Tonight a deaf man sat alone in my section, so I chatted with him in sign. The table next to him noticed and asked me how long I've been signing, etc. then I found this on their table. I will be paying this...

Angels Came To My Rescue

By Bruce Van Natta on March 14, 2019 / 3,984 views

My name is Bruce Van Natta, and I love to work on trucks. I'm a self-employed diesel mechanic; also a Christian family man living out my power truck dreams and providing for my wife and four children. I never gave a second thought to the danger of working on engines that weigh thousands of pounds, until November 16, 2006. I was working on a Peterbilt logging truck about an hour from...

A Wagon Will Do

By Rick on March 12, 2019 / 3,982 views

For weeks I worked repairing the outside of a run down home and kept noticing the same man riding an old bike pulling a make shift cart, often filled with cans and junk. Eventually his bike broke, and for days I saw him struggling to walk the bike and loaded cart up and down the road. I asked if I could help by fixing his bike (it was beyond repair). I noticed he had some sort...

The Cockroach Theory For Happiness

By Sundar Pichai on March 11, 2019 / 6,517 views

By Sundar Pichai on March 11, 2019 / 6,517 views

At a restaurant, a cockroach suddenly flew from somewhere and sat on a lady. She started screaming out of fear. With a panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach. Her reaction was contagious, as everyone in her group also got panicky. The lady finally managed to push the cockroach...

Begin Again

By Joseph J. Mazzella on March 11, 2019 / 5,279 views

Ring! Ring! Ring! It was early in the morning and I knew who was calling as I dejectedly reached for the telephone. I was a new substitute teacher struggling to earn enough to support my young family. Each morning I waited for a call that would take me to a different classroom that day. The last three of them had all been determined to test the teacher and see just how much bad behavior they could get away...

I got a flat tire in an unfamiliar area, these men stopped and offered to help. They ended up doing all the work and wouldn't accept money when I offered! Bonus: my lil man in the car keeping me safe from...

She Believed And Received!

By A Vessel on March 06, 2019 / 3,756 views

She had faith! This amazing story happened for about 30 years ago. A friend of mine had broken one of her big toes, and had been to a physician to get a x-ray of it. He wanted to treat it with gypsum, but she said no! cause she was certain that the Lord would heal her broken toe! The same day, on the evening, we were some women together to pray, and she also were there with her aching...

My Stepdad

By Rick on March 05, 2019 / 4,136 views

When I was 16 (I'm now in my thirties) my now stepfather had been dating my mother for about a week, my mother and I had a massive row and she ended up kicking my the house (looking back I deserved it) my stepfather who I didn't know had been in hospital having lost three pints of blood due to a perforated hernia, discharged himself from hospital when he found this out. He drove the streets...

Cheer Moms Rule

By A Friend on March 05, 2019 / 2,892 views

My husband coaches an all star cheer team. Today I found out that one of the girls hasn’t been to practice or competitions because her father was arrested and her fees weren’t getting paid. I offered to help the girl out while talking with the gym owner. Another parent over heard the conversation and paid the rest of the girls fees for the season, including travel fees! My faith in humanity is...

Just Because No One Believes In You Doesn't Mean You Can't Believe In Yourself

By A Friend on March 04, 2019 / 3,838 views

It took me way too long to learn this. I realise I was just surrounded by toxic people, of course their objective was to cut me down. Jealousy is a b*tch. Only after I removed myself from all that and started healing and slowly started getting actual support did I start seeing that holy sh*t, I was just fed so many lies by people to cut me down so I wouldn't ever achieve anything. I...

Finding Yourself Is Actually Returning To Yourself

By Emily McDowell on March 04, 2019 / 3,372 views

"Finding yourself" is not really how it works. You aren't a ten-dollar bill in last winter's coat pocket. You are also not lost. Your true self is right there, buried under cultural conditioning, other people's opinions, and inaccurate conclusions you drew as a kid that became your beliefs about who you are. "Finding yourself" is actually returning to...

My Testimony

By A Pilgrim on March 02, 2019 / 2,639 views

"Today is the day of salvation!" I got this Divine information, while participating in a service as a young woman of age, when I still was in the adversary's cage. The preacher called us forward, to repent and receive the Lord, but I sat there as a coward, didn't dare to get on board! Suddenly, these words he did share, "There's a young woman here,...
