Night Changes

By Grace on October 11, 2016 / 0 views

As a middle schooler, I was forced to go to a varsity football game as my brother plays on the team. A friend of mine was going so I thought I might as well go. As a girl who looks fairly good in other people's eyes (and horrible in my own), i was being crudely "complimented" by boys as i walked by them. My friend was doing nothing to stand up to them and I felt upset at the words they were using...

Eat Dessert First

By Joseph J. Mazzella on October 10, 2016 / 0 views

My wonderful daughter made me a red velvet birthday cake this year using her own special combination of creativity and love. It was huge and I cut myself the biggest piece. With the first bite I closed my eyes and smiled. It was so moist and sweet. The butter cream icing on top was delightfully thick. It had countless calories and it was so delicious without being necessarily nutritious. I didn’t mind,...

The Audition

By Ryan Schexnayder on October 10, 2016 / 1,939 views

Remember that promising actor from not so long ago? You would regularly sit in the theater and watch his plays unfold. He wasn't bad, but over the years his work had become very sloppy. His performances were now unpredictable. As attendance numbers dwindled, what was once a potentially good play was becoming a waste of your time and money. A movie ticket to be thrown away halfway in. Eventually, the entire...

The Message In Your Story

By Alfred Ijeh on October 10, 2016 / 1,442 views

Everyone has a history or a beginning, but the message in it makes you a different person. Everyone has a story about how life wasn't fair.

For leading a happy life one needs faith in God. Having faith in God means being tension free. It is difficult but not impossible. You need first to be friendly with God.

My birthday present came in the mail a little early this year and my children being the sweethearts they are let me go ahead and open it. It was a new record player to play my old records on. I set it up in my bedroom. It looked like a black briefcase but it had speakers built into the sides and when I opened it up there was a turntable ready to go. I went over to the record collection that I had kept since...

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up, it knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're the lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be...

How Old Are You?

I have another birthday coming up soon. With the card, cake, present and hugs will, of course, come the inevitable question, “How old are you?” I have gotten to the point now where I can honestly say, “I’m not sure.” This body of mine is going to be 50 years old.

There were a hundred hints of Autumn in the wind when I took my dogs outside this morning. The air was cooler and drier than it had been for months. The Queen Anne’s Lace and Black Eyed Susan’s seemed to be shivering in the September Sun. Our puppy, Fluffy was carrying around a freshly fallen leaf in his mouth. Overhead a flock of ducks seemed to be debating whether or not it was time to head...
