Family Reunion

By Joseph J. Mazzella on April 23, 2018 / 3,300 views

Epiphanies often come to us at the strangest times and wisdom often awakens in us in the most unusual places. It was a late Friday afternoon and my family and I were at the grocery store. We usually shop on Saturdays but the early Spring weather forecast had predicted a Winter snowstorm. Thus, here we were grabbing groceries in time to beat the storm. Unfortunately everyone else in town had the same idea. The...

My grandma turned 90 last year. She sends an email to the family every night to let everyone know what she's up to. This was the end of her email tonight. "I was going to sort some papers and discard, well, I started reading some letters and clippings, and the afternoon was gone and I still didn't pitch much. Also, ended up being depressing as they were stuff with square dancing and to...

What It Took To Get To My Dream Job

By Mr Kyle on April 17, 2018 / 3,455 views

When I was three, I told my mom and dad I wanted to make cartoons. I drew some weird stuff like people in burning buildings and people getting trampled at rodeos, but they weren’t bad drawings and my parents were cool with it. When I was 11 I joined an AOL channel to make comics and met other kids that did the same, and we’d mostly all keep in touch for the rest of our...

A Broken BB Gun

By Joseph J. Mazzella on April 16, 2018 / 3,967 views

When I was a young boy my favorite toy was a BB gun. It was shaped like an old fashioned Winchester lever action rifle. When I had it in my hands I suddenly became all the heros of the Western movies that I watched. I was John Wayne riding to the rescue, fighting off train robbers along the empty train tracks that ran next to our yard. Occasionally I would shoot BB’s for target practice but most of the...

Banking And Finance (Blessings And Favour)

By Jodi-Ann E. M. Morgan on April 16, 2018 / 3,139 views

One morning at church, we were all given a blank cheque and asked to imagine that Jesus Himself had given it to us. Our pastor then asked us to fill out the cheque, putting whatever it is we want God to bring to fruition in our lives. I thought long and hard about this. After filling it out I said to myself, if only it were so easy. If only there was a bank down the street where I could just cash...

When my best friend was 18 years old she had her quadriplegic uncle living with her, she was his care giver and they were best friends. After a couple years he passed and it was and still is very hard on her. One day we were driving downtown near the Jesus house where a lot of homeless people hangout. We saw this guy and stopped to give him a couple bucks, as we drove off she told me that his eyes and voice...

Love means giving, giving and only giving without expectations like God's love, mother love, Sun's sunlight, fruits from tree, air to breath, water from sea. What we give them? Nothing, but still they give us. This is Love. Pure love. Love binds everybody together. In family everybody live together just because of love.

The Person Who Saved My Future

By System0fagame on April 13, 2018 / 3,938 views

After going homeless at the age of 19 just a few months ago with no friends or family that I could ask for help I just kinda gave up and I was going to go drown myself in the river. While sitting with a handful of other homeless folk in front of a casino parking lot a guy walked up and asked for a light and if he could sit with us since his friends kinda bailed on him and we had nothing better to do so we said...

I Knew It, I Knew It, I Knew It!

By D.J.E. Newman on April 12, 2018 / 3,540 views

About five years ago, my employer was holding a gala charity dinner in our cafeteria to fundraise for the local hospice. The call went out for volunteers and I jumped at the chance to work with an industrial dishwasher again as I did throughout High School. At 30 years old and several years into my accounting career, it had been too long since I'd gotten my hands dirty. My wife and I were expecting our...

It Just Makes Me Think

By Jay Abington on April 09, 2018 / 4,130 views

I was riding up to my friends about two hours from my place. About 30 minutes into the ride I am next to this truck on my left and I got this feeling someone was looking at me or something so I look over at the truck and there is this little girl about 8 or 9 years old watching me ride along side them. We made eye contact and she smiles and waved at me. Naturally I wave back and continued on. About...

A Hug I Will Never Forget

At a roadside spring where I got some of the best water I ever drank. I am dirt from head to toe. I had spent the last 3 hours of the morning on dirt roads in OR. I have 2 weeks of living gear and a shot gun strapped to my gold wing and a car pulls up. A woman and her 10 year old girl jump out and head for the fountain behind me. I notice that there is a boy about 8 year old in the car...

The Light In His Eyes

By Joseph J. Mazzella on April 09, 2018 / 3,559 views

After I graduated college I struggled to find work. I applied everywhere but no one was interested in hiring me. Finally I was able to find a job in a group home for mentally disabled adults. It wasn’t easy work. We were responsible for the feeding, dressing, hygiene, and safety of our clients. We had to keep them on a schedule, take them to their supported jobs, and help them to control their behaviors...

The Mouse And The Bulldozer

I get to work the other day and saw the coolest thing. Ben (mason tractor) was down at the bone yard with the TD 15 so I headed down to check in with him. Turns out he is all the way at the bottom ware we have a spot set aside to dump broken up concrete and stumps. The flat area I'm talking about is the size of a basketball court and when it gets covered with concrete chunks like it is now Ben...
