We eat at West Side Cafe on Camp Bowie in Fort Worth quite a lot and last month sometime we took our new baby, Glory, in. Well, we just went there this afternoon and our waitress Kayla remembered us and asked where our baby was. Sadly, we had to tell her baby Glory passed away and is with God now. She felt so horrible for asking but she was so sweet. When it was time for us to pay our bill, Kayla...

Live For God

By Sonia Kaur on January 12, 2016 / 4,318 views

I have read in a book that what you can give to God when you take everything from him. If you want to live for God then learn to live gracefully, accept everything coming in your way with full faith, be thankful and live for others. Always remember one thing that whatever you need you are given. So always be thankful to God and accept everything without complaining because if you loose anything you...

Choices

By Sunny on January 11, 2016 / 4,988 views

Don't try to justify your choices. You don't owe anyone explanations and excuses when it comes to your life. If you like a dress, wear it. You don't have to explain that it's cute because it has pockets. If you want to get a tattoo of something then get it, you don't owe anyone its meaning. Make peace with yourself and don't ever let someone make you feel bad for being...

A Crazy Dream!

By Anjali Mohapatra on January 08, 2016 / 6,711 views

It was a dreadful night for me! I was shivering in my bed. Instantly, I pulled my blanket and covered myself from top to bottom. I saw a horrible dream...... 'A black, muscular, man was standing in front of me. As he grinned at me, it seemed as if a tube light was switched on in a dark room. I was terrified in his appearance. I mumbled, 'Who are you?' 'Yam Dev. I am the...

Crippled Bunny

By Rick Euker on January 07, 2016 / 2,821 views

Deep in the woods I saw my Lab dart over and sniff intently at something in the leaves. Not wanting him to disturb wildlife I called him back and went over to see what it was. He had found a small nest lined with rabbit fur and traces of blood. It appeared that coyotes had found a rabbit's nest and eaten it's young. Had I not been watching my dog closely I might have expected that he did this. Then I...

The Girl Who Ran

By April on January 06, 2016 / 5,490 views

"Why?" A puzzled look quickly came over my mom's face after hearing my plea to transfer schools going into senior year. This was an anticipated question yet my mind was blank. I frantically searched for any answer that sounded convincing enough: "Um, I just don't feel at home here." Her maternal gaze shot right through to the truth, and my lying skills were left feeling pathetically...

Her Name Was Amy

By Kelly McGuire on January 05, 2016 / 9,068 views

I went to the Chicago Bears game today. We spent $32 total on the train fares, $200 for our tickets, $7 for a hotdog, and $41 at Giordanos after the game. We paid that much money to come to spend a fun day in the city even though it was cold. I feel guilty. We have much more than what we need and we don't even have half of what most people have. The high today was 30 degrees, so naturally I...

The Farmer Who Prayed For Me

By Bluejay on January 04, 2016 / 5,550 views

Early this morning I was involved in a car accident. A fuel truck came into my lane and I swerved to miss it, by doing so my car slid off the road and down into a cow pasture. My car basically fell off a cliff and I tore down the gate and almost hit a cow. As I was getting out of the car (it was pouring rain) I lost my footing and slid into the fence which happened to be electric. It completely knocked the...

To The Girl On The Bus...

By Anon on January 04, 2016 / 4,733 views

Thank you. We see each other everyday, me on my way to work, you on your way home from college, and although we had never talked before, when I fell asleep, you woke me up for my stop, the same stop we both get, so I didn't sleep through till the end of the line. I was having a really bad day. I was sick and I hadn't gotten much sleep. You taking the time to stop at my seat, nudge me and smile at me...

Why Are People The Way They Are?

By Bertha Peka Betham on January 03, 2016 / 6,072 views

Today is the 2nd day of 2016, and this question has always been bugging me every passing year. Why are people the way they are? We are all humans, and we all have different feelings each day depending on what's going on in our lives. I saw these 2 gentlemen at a casino in Las Vegas going at each other over something that was not worth fighting over. I was in Las Vegas to celebrate the New Years. It's...

Respect

By Sonia Kaur on December 29, 2015 / 6,105 views

We want everybody to respect us, do we respect everyone around us??? Answer is a big NO! We don't respect whom we think better than us, we don't respect poor and old people, we don't respect whom we feel less better than us. So how can we earn respect? The easiest way to earn respect is by giving respect. Earning respect might be difficult but not impossible. Don't use bad language,...

Maybe A Detour?

By Sriya Sreeni on December 29, 2015 / 3,983 views

Aah well there can be times in life where all miracles that were meant for us seem pointless. We might feel everything around us as a mere scenario. We all have had times like that. At this point many questions can come to us , like about the incidents that were bittersweet. In the end we ll find out the reason of our temporary void existence . If a wind blows hard on a plant and it is the weak part...

Michelle's Story

By Christopher Meuse on December 29, 2015 / 5,295 views

A true story about the life of a father and his daughter as they journey through denial, lies and pain. A story about how the power of love keeps them strong through moments of weakness and fear. For many years I had a powerful relationship with what I thought was the healthy enjoyment of alcohol. I would find pleasure in the odd bottle of wine each week, thinking that it was a normal part of life....

Freedom: My Soul Mate

Freedom and I have been together 11 years this summer. She came in as a baby in 1998 with two broken wings. Her left wing doesn't open all the way even after surgery, it was broken in 4 places. She's my baby. When Freedom came in she could not stand and both wings were broken. She was emaciated and covered in lice. We made the decision to give her a chance at life, so I took her to the vets office....
