It Just Has To Exist

By SS Fan on August 21, 2017 / 3,073 views

"We're all so good at recognizing what's shitty about something (and how we fix it) (criticism). We are all so bad at making something, so just make something bad and then criticize it until its good." It's a strange side of human intelligence. Computers, most animals and even aliens in movies can see someone do something and copy it quite well. But for humans, it's quite...

My 14 year old daughter and I we were on the way home and she saw a elementary kid sitting under a tree in a shopping center. She said, 'It's too hot momma stop the car.' She then asked the boy 'Where are your parents?' The boy said, 'I don't know.' She said 'Can you call them?' He said 'I only have my dad's number.' She let him call his dad also not standing...

Who Do You Listen To?

By Princewill Iliya on August 17, 2017 / 2,529 views

More than perhaps anything else, who we listen to will determine the trajectory of our ministry. If we listen to godly, wise, smart people who have our best interest and that of the Kingdom at heart, it will leaven our lives and ministries. If we listen to the wrong people, we can expect a world of trouble. "Is best to just hear the negative voices only, but listen to positive voices...

They All Have A Story

By Rod Williams on August 16, 2017 / 4,202 views

I like boots. I have 14 pair, ranging from $1,600 handmade ostrich ropers with my initials on the side to a $49 pair of hiking boots. The funniest ones I have are a pair of old school western style pointy-toed boots. Most call them cockroach killers since the toe is so pointed I could kill a cockroach in a corner. As much as I’m on my feet, I want to be comfortable while staying a little fashionable, and...

Make A Difference

By Joseph J. Mazzella on August 15, 2017 / 3,513 views

I love the story of the starfish on the beach. I have read it many times in several different forms over the years but I am always struck by its simple truth. One form of it goes like this: A man was walking down the beach one day when he saw a young boy coming towards him. Every few feet or so the boy would stop, bend down, and pick up a starfish. Then with a huge effort he would toss it back into the ocean....

Angels In Disguise

By Gayathri M on August 14, 2017 / 3,636 views

People feel that there exists a world called heaven where God and angels exist. According to some,heaven is a place where everything is perfect and there is no chance of the word "worry" coming to our mind. But a close observation of our surroundings,might change this so called "perspective". There are many people who enter our life as angels in disguise. Their presence itself...

Sandpaper

By Rod Williams on August 14, 2017 / 4,614 views

I talk often about people being put in our lives for a reason, and there is always a lesson to be learned by or from them. Some of those people put in our lives are there to make us question why they are there. They are annoying, sarcastic, rude, hurtful, aggravating, and simply drive us crazy. I heard a minister describe them as sandpaper because, God uses them to form and shape us. Of course, some people...

Giving Life A Second Chance: Believing In Yourself And The Power Of Love

I often think about how I got to where I am today and how somehow everything that has happened, big or small in my lifetime have made me a better, happier, wiser and stronger person. Now this is coming from someone who's lost a parent, struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts among a boatload full of other things. If you've ever heard the saying, "you can learn and grow from...

From Hell To Harvard

By Norman Willis on August 08, 2017 / 6,922 views

My name is Norman K. Willis and my journey has been one filled with achievement, pain, and a positive attitude. I wrote my first book at 18, sold an app years later, and now I speak and teach for a living. I come from a single parent house hold, my grandparents aided in raising me until about eleven. My mother was stabbed when I was younger by my own father and he spent eleven years in jail because of it....

Parenting Done Right

By Kalynne Marie on August 08, 2017 / 4,232 views

I just witnessed a boy, maybe about 6 or 7, accidentally spill a Slushee everywhere in Target. I didn't get a photo but I'm including one of my son and I. I'm talking blue and red goop all over the floor, the table, everywhere. The boy looked up at who I assume was his father, and immediately apologized. Instead of getting angry, his father just said 'Hey, it happens. Let's go get napkins...

Life Is Like A Journey On A Train

By Unknown on August 07, 2017 / 40,559 views

Life is like a journey on a train with its stations, with changes of routes and with accidents! At birth we boarded the train and met our parents, and we believe they will always travel on our side. However, at some station our parents will step down from the train, leaving us on this journey alone. As time goes by, other people will board the train; and they will be significant i.e. our siblings, friends,...

Learning Is A Good Thing

By Rod Williams on August 04, 2017 / 4,262 views

Some of the best lessons I’ve learned were when I was on the ground looking up. Something put me on my butt, and it was up to me as to what to do with the event. I could stay on the ground and flounder in the emotion that put me there, or I could stand up, brush myself off, assess the situation, and learn from it. Here are a few of my favorite lessons. 1. There are things that happen in my...

Something More

By Joseph J. Mazzella on August 04, 2017 / 6,238 views

“Na-Nee!” The words jarred me from the book I was reading as I lay on my bed. I put the book down and looked up. My youngest son, Casey was smiling down on me. He was 24 years old but his severe Autism had left him with the mind of a very small child. His words were limited so every time he said something it was a joy to hear. He was pointing to the picture on my wall of my Italian Grandma’s...

Wow Attitude

By Kay Heitsch on August 03, 2017 / 7,835 views

When Ken walked out of his home last Friday he had no idea what this day would hold. Ken had worked at this job in the steel factory for 30 years; so walking out of the door had become something he, no doubt, took for granted. Ken started to work that morning in a part of the factory where no other people were working. All of a sudden the steel i beams began to shift. The next thing Ken knew 25,000...

"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours, it is an amazing journey, and you alone are responsible for the quality of...

2 Years Of Saying Yes To Life

By Derin Emre on August 01, 2017 / 2,339 views

For the last two years, we have been getting out of our comfort zones and encouraging others to do the same. What has started out as a summer project has blossomed into a full time job with a growing YouTube channel and a show on Snapchat. We have met the Prime Minister of Canada, thrown a massive party $0, modeled at one of the biggest men's fashion shows in the US, and kidnapped...
