A Vision Of Steve's Bike

By Mary Nella McLaughlin on June 12, 2014 / 9,005 views

After meeting a man outside of a church one day, we set up regular times to study the Bible together. He seemed like he needed a friend. He always sat alone outside before the service smoking, and sat by himself in the church. His clothes were clean, but he had a certain look to him that might have scared a few off. His beard almost reached his belt buckle and his hair was swept back in a long ponytail. In...

Julie

By Joseph J. Mazzella on June 12, 2014 / 2,778 views

The day we brought Julie home I knew that we were in for quite a ride. She was more than just a dog. She was a Pekinese-Poodle with personality to spare. Always the smallest dog in the house, she didn't let that stop her from trying to run the show. She made me laugh the way she would stroll up to the dog food bowl and bark away a dog ten times her size. She never once begged, but she wasn't afraid to ask for...

LOVEbird

By Jodi-Ann E.M. Morgan on June 08, 2014 / 5,512 views

During the last couple of weeks I have read two tear-jerking stories regarding birds. I have always loved looking at birds that can take flight, do so to the parts of the world I suppose I could only dream of. If there is one thing I wish I could do, it is to fly. Big or small I look at these animals as magnificent creatures. Unfortunately, even these lovely animals at times cannot escape the harsh weathers of life....

Angels On Earth

By Kat on June 07, 2014 / 10,042 views

Do you ever get that feeling that you saw an angel? My story starts with a lady named Mary. She would come into my place of work and she was very sweet. I must admit I didn't know her well and I had only exchanged a few words with her in the past. One day she opened up to me about how her mother had passed and how much she missed her. She also shared with me that her brother had committed suicide and she was worried...

The day we rescued our dog he knew we saved his life. He was so thankful and happy. When getting a pet please consider saving a life by going to the animal shelters....

Four Ice Cream Cones

By Mary Nella McLaughlin on June 05, 2014 / 4,558 views

16 year old Marrissa and I went out for ice cream after the service. We had just heard a challenging message on meals that count. A meal that counts is when you invite someone to eat with you that you don’t know or have as a guest someone who needs a meal and friendship. We were mulling this over as we drove to 31 Flavors. We passed a young man standing by himself in front of the door. Marrissa nudged me,...

Interesting Travels

By Joseph J. Mazzella on June 05, 2014 / 1,972 views

The curvy, rugged roads here in the mountains of my home can make for some very interesting travels at times. In the last few weeks I have had my nostrils stung when the smell of a squashed skunk got sucked through the open windows of my car. I have screeched to a stop to let a group of whitetail deer cross the road. I have swerved to miss a wandering dog who was paying more attention to his nose than his eyes. I...

WHAT NEXT? SING

By LINDA BOYLAN on June 05, 2014 / 5,117 views

Her frame is small but her voice is BIG. I love to open my window to listen as her words come up and over and spill into my kitchen. It’s not so much as the words she sings as it is the passion that I’m drawn to. Ten years old with lots to say but she forms her words into a song. Original tunes and lyrics flow from her with ease as I recall a little girl who used to do the exact same thing; me. Our flat...

The Perfect Guy

By Drew on June 04, 2014 / 8,861 views

I was struggling with a long distance relationship for quite some time, with no more feelings from my side, practically I was in the process of ending it, when I met this boy, yes you might wonder why I said boy because when I first saw him in the living room of my sister’s house, he seemed like a 16 year old boy, with a very cute baby face, his 16 years turned out to be 27(I was 28)… it was a set up date,...

4 Years Ago I Was Told By Doctors That I'd Probably Never Move Anything Below My Shoulders Again

By Paul on June 02, 2014 / 7,942 views

I suffered a C5 incomplete SCI from a football hit October 2009. My neck was broken, my spinal cord bruised, compressed and bleeding. I was paralyzed from the shoulders down. I was rushed into emergency surgery to stabilize the spinal cord. After a few weeks I was classified by a team of neurosurgeons, neurologists and physiatrists as C5/6 sensory incomplete (I could kind of feel when someone touched my legs),...

An Old Man's Smile

By Sunshine on June 02, 2014 / 15,792 views

It was another rainy day, it had stopped raining but the ground was still wet, with this remarkable smell of freshness, I was in the car with my friend, and ahead of us was this old pathetic looking old man, with a cane in his hand as it seemed he was having hard time standing up or barely doing any effort-, I have always had a weakness to old people; they break my heart, especially the ones begging on the streets,...

Rebirth After Traumatic Heartbreak

By Dalia on May 31, 2014 / 6,708 views

To say that I got burnt, would be an understatement. After many heartbreaks, I meet the man who I considered to be the love of my life and best friend. I truly believed all the heartbreaks in the past had happened to lead me to him. We get engaged and I’m on cloud nine. A wedding date was set, dress paid for, venue booked, etc. Nine months into our engagement and five months before we were scheduled to get married...

My Birthday Gift

I grew up with a father who was always away from home, always at his work, never had time for us because he was always working hard to get us the best life he could, he is the most generous and caring person you can ever meet, but simply we couldn’t feel it much since he was away.... years passed by and dad got older and he got sick, he started forgetting things, forgetting incidents, places, people... its been...

A Dish Of Ice Cream

By Lisa P. on May 29, 2014 / 11,356 views

In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10 year old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him. "How much is an ice cream sundae?" "50 cents," replied the waitress. The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied a number of coins in it. "How much is a dish of plain ice cream?" he inquired. Some people were now waiting...

I Made A New Friend

By Dave on May 29, 2014 / 2,029 views

Today I had a moment where I actually enjoyed working in retail. I work at a certain big blue electronics retailer, in the video games department. A little girl came in with her grandmother and asked me if we had any copies of Pokemon Conquest. That morning when I was getting ready to open, I had only seen one copy. I told her I thought we had one left, and took her over to where it was. It was still...
