One More Time Daddy?

By Coach Muller on November 09, 2014 / 2,643 views

While at the park one day, a woman sat down next to a man on a bench near a playground. “That’s my son over there,” she said, pointing to a little boy in a red sweater who was gliding down the slide. “He’s a fine looking boy” the man said. “That’s my daughter on the bike in the white dress.” Then, looking at his watch, he called to his daughter. “What do you say we go, Melissa?” Melissa...

My Dad Always Cheers Me Up

By Erik on November 09, 2014 / 2,134 views

I had my first game of indoor soccer (ever) tonight, and needless to say, it went badly. My team was a "house team" and so we've never played together before. We played a team that pretty much stomped us. I didn't play up to my usual standard, and was pretty bummed. I had skipped a concert with some friends, and a movie night with some others, just for this game. So I was disappointed that I played like a chump....

The Power Of Prayer

By Dominique Torrete on November 06, 2014 / 6,581 views

MY TRUE TO LIFE EXPERIENCE: The Power of Prayer Year 1998, during my college day. It was a Sunday afternoon, we were in high spirit while waiting for the arrival of our weekly allowance ( it will come from the other island Sibuyan by ferry boat the only means of sending money) But to my surprise, what I had received is only a disappointment. I didn't have money at all. And, by all odds to make it through, my...

Never Believe That Anything But Success Is An Option

By Liz on November 05, 2014 / 6,166 views

My dad, brother and I dancing at a wedding this fall. Each one of us fought our own intense cancer battles in the past four years... and won! Each cancer was different and they said not related, but a fluke. Never believe that anything but success is an option...never!...

Eternity

By Joseph J. Mazzella on November 05, 2014 / 5,491 views

In the days following the first anniversary of my Dad's death, I couldn't help but feel sad. I still missed him so much. I would pass a beat up blue pick-up on the road and think it was him. I would walk over to his old house where my daughter now lived and still expect to see him sitting out on his front porch. I would see him in my dreams, looking young and strong again. I felt bad too because I regretted not...

Feeding The Homeless

By Jan on November 05, 2014 / 4,966 views

Feeding the homeless is a very rewarding experience! I started a monthly thing in Philadelphia. Each month, I spend $100 and buy a lot of non-perishable food such as spaghettios with pull-tab lids, granola bars, apple sauce cups, pudding cups, Slim-Jims, juice boxes etc. Basically, food that doesn't require heating, refrigeration, or a can-opener since homeless people don't have those things. Then I package the...

Change Is Good

By Sujiberry on November 04, 2014 / 6,920 views

Like what they say, “Nothing is permanent except change.” In life, career and other aspects of life, everything is changing. Every human being on the planet has experienced a lot of changes. I bet, you have experienced little and big changes in your life. Let’s talk about biological changes first. When you are an infant, your body organs are not fully developed. You have smaller heart, liver and head...

Do You Believe In Miracles?

By Sujiberry on November 03, 2014 / 6,055 views

What is a miracle? Do you believe in miracles? Do you think each of us has experienced a miracle? Since time immemorial, miracles happened. During the time of Moses, a lot of miracles were witnessed. The Red Sea was divided into two, Moses' staff was turned into a snake, and the seawater turned into blood. At the time of Jesus, His first miracle was His manifestation at the wedding in Cana. The groom went to Jesus...

Time Waits On No One

By Phyllis Ward on November 03, 2014 / 5,439 views

My Mom was, as she put it, just country people. Nothing special just us. She was always doing something, never did she just sit down and do nothing. If she did, she would have her Bible reading God's word. There were four of us kids and each one of us was special to her in different ways. We were raised the old fashion way, if you got caught doing something wrong ,you got punished. But she always told us all this...

Why Do Bad Things Happen?

By Coach Muller on November 02, 2014 / 7,772 views

There are times in some people's lives when it seems like they were "dealt a bad hand." Why is it that sometimes people face unforeseeable disease, pain and death? We sometimes ask... why do bad things happen to good people? Why is it that a horrible and deadly sickness can strike a person while others live long and healthy lives? Simply put... why do bad things happen? I recently read this following short...

What Makes Us Happy

By Red on October 31, 2014 / 6,770 views

I have been practicing the art of happiness long before doing this research. The thing that helped me the most at becoming a happier person being appreciative of what I have. This single technique transformed me into a completely different person. Being appreciative also helped me rid of "If I X, I will be happy" thoughts. It is very important to understand that we are capable of being happy in the now. What can...

I Know There Are A Lot Of Things I Don't Know...

By Jim Willett on October 29, 2014 / 3,386 views

Things about the universe, about our world, and about other people. Especially what others experience or how they feel. I have no idea what it's like to be from another country besides Canada, or another culture, skin color, gender, or sexual orientation. I've never been bullied, or faced discrimination, because of what I look like on the outside. So who am I--are any of us--to judge someone when we don't know...

What It's All About

By Joseph J. Mazzella on October 29, 2014 / 21,878 views

When I was in college I didn't attend many football games. I didn't go to many functions. I wasn't to be found at the bars or parties either. When I wasn't in class, my dorm room, or spending time with my friends there was usually only one place to find me: the library. I would spend hours there after class and on the weekends surrounded by books. I was fascinated by the amount of knowledge that was stored...

17 years ago this man decided to step up to marry my mom and adopt me! Now I'm in my senior year of college and owe so much of my success to his support and love. You can pick your nose, your friends, and your family....

Relay Race

As I was walking along the street recently I overheard a girl talikng on her phone. She was walking ahead of me and speaking quite loudly. It was a quiet street and there was only the two of us in sight, so even though I wasn't trying to eavesdrop on her conversation, it was difficult not to do so. What I gathered from her situation was that she was in desperate need of a not too large sum of money and she needed it...

Must. Reach. Pumpkin.

By Willow on October 27, 2014 / 5,777 views

Our family got together and made cat toys, because, and you probably can relate, they end up losing every new toy within a day. So here he is with a cute little pumpkin stuffed with well, stuffing, and catnip. Leo is the name of the crazy cat in the picture. He hasn't lost the new toys...yet....
