Every Day Is Holy

By Joseph J. Mazzella on October 10, 2017 / 2,698 views

It was late September. I was driving through a heavy fog to a store to pick up a few things. When I got there I strolled through the store looking for what I needed. I grabbed a bag of dog food for my dogs, a pack of batteries for my son, and a bite of chocolate for myself. As I turned the corner to head for the checkout register, though, I saw something that stopped me in my tracks. A two foot tall skeleton...

You'll Need To Take Him

By Kay Heitsch on October 06, 2017 / 4,181 views

The phone rang, it was the school calling. "Would you please come and pick up Brandon? He seems to be sick." What could be wrong, I wondered? I drove right over to the school and picked him up. We drove home and he went upstairs to lie down. Brandon slept for a long time, but woke up very sick. It was now quite late and nothing was open; I wasn't sure what I should do. I called my husband Bill....

A Moment Of Clarity

By Joseph J. Mazzella on October 06, 2017 / 3,201 views

It was a long drive to the nursing home where my Grandmother was living, but at least twice a month I got into the car with my small children to make the trip to see her. We had already lost my Mom to cancer and I wanted them to be able to remember Nana. I wanted to be able to remember her as well, especially because she was beginning to forget me. Nana had Alzheimer’s disease. It was slowly...

Singing As We Roll Along

By Kay Heitsch on October 06, 2017 / 2,226 views

When I called the number, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I saw the ad in the phone book and it looked like something I would enjoy: "Non Medical In Home Care." The ad stated that I would be helping people, I assumed elderly, stay in their own homes. This sounded like the job for me. I love older people. I'd spent a lot of time volunteering in nursing homes. This ad said these...

At The Crossroads

By Joseph J. Mazzella on October 04, 2017 / 3,661 views

When I was a young father and Autumn would spread her colorful carpet across the hills and mountains of my home, I would often load my kids into the car and embark on a Fall foliage tour. We would take the back roads and look at the leaves shining in the sunlight. There would be glittering golds, blazing reds, and outrageous oranges, sometimes all on the same tree. We would drive and stop and look and be in...

Who Took The Lid Off?

Last week our little special needs grandson Noah owned up to something he had done. Noah had taken the lid off of the gerbil cage and the cat had gotten in. I'm happy to report the gerbils are fine. When Noah told me that he had taken the lid off the cage I was happy that he was taking responsibility for his actions. I told him how proud I was of him for owning up to what he had...

Father Is A Superman

Father is a superman, I believe this when my father left the world. How safe are we in the shadow of the father's Love. The love and affection that comes with your father can not be found anywhere else. Dad gives us all the happiness no matter how much trouble he sees himself. Dad doesn't fulfill desire or need of himself, but he fulfills all our desires and needs. “I cannot think of any need in...

My SO and I have been together for over 12 years, and married for more than half of that. We've gone the some rough times, but recently things have been so bad I'm honestly not sure if we're going good to make it. It's been awful. We were having a bad day already, and plans came up to meet SO's family for dinner. We were fighting in the car on the ride over, and continued arguing...

My First Review

By Joseph J. Mazzella on September 29, 2017 / 1,906 views

The first review I ever got for my writing happened in the middle of the night. I was a young adolescent going through the pains and trails of being a teenager. I knew too I had been a pain many times to both my Mom and my Dad. One day, however, I realized just how kind, loving, and supportive my parents had been to me during this time and in fact for my whole life. I was too shy to tell them how much I loved...

It was 4 a.m. Anybody in her place would have been in a deep sleep. But not her...she was waiting with anticipation for the news.Her wave of thoughts were interrupted by the shrill sound of the telephone. Her heart skipped a beat as she picked it up. All her anxieties and fears were put to an end as her father on the other end happily said," You have a baby sister!" She was on cloud nine all the way...

Have At It!

By Kay Heitsch on September 29, 2017 / 1,915 views

Over the years I've wanted God to change other people or change my circumstances so I could be happier. I hadn't ever thought about God changing me. Later in life, much to my surprise, I came to this understanding. Maybe I needed to change. Maybe God wanted to change me and my attitude more than He was interested in changing others and my circumstances to keep me happy. Once I...

Enjoying Every Day Chores

By Kay Heitsch on September 27, 2017 / 2,564 views

Yesterday at Planet Fitness John said something that got my attention. He said, "Kay, the way some people view work we see as another way to exercise." You know, that is exactly how I think. Whenever I shovel, mow, clean, or anything else that some people consider work I do view as exercise. I don't know when I started to think like this, but it has helped me enjoy my every day life...

Choose Happiness

By Sonia Kaur on September 23, 2017 / 3,078 views

What is your way to be happy? Have you ever asked this question to yourself? What answer did you get? I asked myself one day, then got the answer. There are many ways of staying happy with my own. First of all, I found happiness by helping others, regardless of how helpful it is. I like helping others, especially the poor children. I want to do something for poor children, seeing them I always think that they...

Obama retired at 55, Trump started at 70. Sydney is 3 hours ahead of Perth, but that doesn't make Perth slow. Someone graduated at the age of 22, but waited 5 years before securing a good job.

Miracles Happen Everyday!

By Kay Heitsch on September 20, 2017 / 3,157 views

"Never stop BELIEVING because MIRACLES happen everyday!" Has God ever asked you to do something you thought was ridicules? Around six months after our son Todd's death, our younger son Brandon (then almost three) began stuttering. You see, Brandon and I went for a walk each night, and about this time we saw a dead, decaying bird lying on the side of the road. Brandon...
