Love Made Perfect

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt once said in a speech to the American people during one of the darkest days in the country's history — "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." We are living in some dark days in America and the world right now. Where are the bold, forthright, calming and optimistic voices of reason to address the current issues that concern...

It Starts With A Baptism Record

By Theresa on September 23, 2016 / 0 views

I bought my grandparents house. In the garage was a security box that had my grandfather's baptism record from 1905 from San Cristobal a province of Zamora, Spain. There was a marriage certificate from 1961 my grandparents redid their wedding vows in the same church. My grandfather passed away in 1977. So we decided to go to Spain this year with my mom and see the towns where my grandparents were from and...

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving...

Autumn Memories

By Joseph J. Mazzella on September 20, 2016 / 0 views

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...

A Simple Wave

By Noelani Hatton on September 19, 2016 / 0 views

My three-year-old daughter jumped out of her car seat as fast as she could to wave to a local police officer before we headed into Target this evening. Little did we know how her simple wave and smile changed someone's day. Officer C. Powell of the Seattle Police Dept.'s Southwest Precinct left her this special present on our windshield. Officer Powell, you made my...

If You Say You Can't, You Won't

By Goldei on September 19, 2016 / 0 views

If you say or even think you can't do something, then you won't. It's that simple. And this is the saddest truth there is in the process of being successful. There are so many hurdles you will face in your journey to wherever it is that you're going, there's no getting around it. There will be plenty of circumstances and people and limits that you will face insisting that you...

Dear Me...

By Leganost on September 19, 2016 / 0 views

Dear Me, Right now you're probably sitting alone wondering how life go to be this way. You're probably wondering how you got here. Well I may not know the answers to those questions, but I do know that you went through too much to feel sorry now. You may have had a rough time in school and you may have hated life more often than not, but guess what? You're here now. All that stuff that...

Time changes, weather changes, circumstances change, age and body changes every year, fashion changes, moreover people change, life is impossible without change. When the human exist in the world he was like a monkey but today he is not because of change. Change is...

Just Do It!

By Kay Heitsch on September 16, 2016 / 3,239 views

When I read today's quote, "Don't let your doubts sabotage your actions. Just do it!" I thought about a true story I wrote years ago. What happened by 'taking action' and 'just doing it' changed my thinking from that day until now. One morning I was sitting on the couch doing my daily Bible study. Out of no where I had a thought to go to the corn stand at the...

A Former Navy SEAL On Never Quitting

By Andy Stumpf on September 15, 2016 / 5,504 views

Everyone wants to be a Frogman on Friday. One of my favorite quotes from the Teams, because it applies to everyone and every goal. To use SEAL training as an example, 80-85 percent don't see the third day of hell week, let alone the last day of training. It takes a lot of work to even show up for day one, but it doesn't take much to end it. All you have to do is say "I quit", ring the bell in...

Your Remedy Is Within You

By Imam Ali on September 13, 2016 / 3,815 views

Your remedy is within you, but you do not sense it. Your sickness is from you, but you do not perceive it. You presume you are a small entity, but within you is enfolded the entire Universe. You are indeed the Evident Book, by whose alphabet the Hidden becomes Manifest. Therefore you have no need to look beyond yourself. What you seek is within you, if only you...

Anyway Smile

By C M Reddy on September 12, 2016 / 4,844 views

You have stormy day and sunny day, anyway you smile at both. You have days of impoverishment and abundance, anyway you smile at both. You have days of disappointment and encouragement, anyway you smile at both. You have days of failures and success, anyway you smile at both. You have days of criticism and appreciation, anyway you smile at both. You have...

All Tied Up In The Kitchen

By Mindi on September 12, 2016 / 78,151 views

Three months ago I experienced a horrific ordeal that I hope has left me a better person. I'm 32, mother of two girls 7 and 9. My husband and our kids are a loving family, we live in a beautiful upscale community and are happy, contented. I've always felt blessed and maybe a little spoiled. I'm intelligent, very attractive, physically fit, competent but I've always assumed everything would...

Give It Your Best

By Joseph J. Mazzella on September 12, 2016 / 0 views

I have been trying to fix up my old house this Summer. The work I was able to hire people to help me with looks pretty good. The work I tried to do myself, not so much. The tiles aren’t lined up right. The caulk is messy. The screws are crooked. The nails are bent. One of the door knobs is broken. And the dogs are sliding into the walls every time they run across the new rugs because I didn’t...

Speak Life With Words Of Love

By Glory Fu on September 09, 2016 / 0 views

I have been blessed with many good people around. One of them is my husband, Joshua. A few years ago, I was forced to quit my teaching job due to poor health. Staying at home, I felt down and useless. Joshua sensed my confidence faded little by little. One summer afternoon, he went home carrying a small-sized school white board, sweetly said to me, “You can do it again. You are a good teacher. Remember...

There Is Hope Still

By Marcos Phillips on September 09, 2016 / 0 views

The day my wife Cindy died was the darkest day of my life. She died from a very aggressive breast cancer. I lost my faith, and I was angry at God for taking her from me. It's been 12 years since she passed away, everyday has been a struggle. I'ld like to say that things got easier, of course they didn't, that wasn't God's plan for me. I still don't know what that could be and I'm...

The Dilemma

By Rick on September 07, 2016 / 0 views

To lie or not to lie. Telling the truth sucks compared to the benefits of lies. We learn this as mere babes. "The dog ate the cookie. Not me, Mom," kinda stuff. And it gets far more serious later in life. But we all have to make the choice. Every day the dilemma presents itself. For some it seems there is no dilemma at all. Lying gets easier. Some become masters. Others struggle each day to do what...
