Test Drive Your Faith

By Jodi-Ann E.M. Morgan on September 26, 2013 / 6,062 views

Have you ever done something that afterwards you were so embarrassed that you couldn’t begin to comprehend how you even thought of doing it? I have... several times... more than I’d like to admit. The most recent case in my string of what I term life’s faux pas had me thinking. Actually, it had me feeling worthless. Now and again I would feel rivulets of tears streaming down my cheeks. One day, while...

Try To Imagine A Life Without Timekeeping

By Chris on September 25, 2013 / 7,239 views

You probably can't. You know the month, the year, the day of the week. There is a clock on your wall and on the dashboard of your car. You have a schedule, a calendar, a time for dinner or a movie. Yet all around you timekeeping is ignored. Birds are not late. A dog does not check his watch. Deer do not fret over passing birthdays. Man alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And because of this, man...

A random act of kindness at McDonalds. I went to buy a coffee at the drive-thru and the guy ahead of me paid for it and left this with the cashier to give to me....

Soul Shine

By Joseph J. Mazzella on September 23, 2013 / 6,357 views

If you have ever driven in the mountains on a cool, Autumn morning then you know what FOG is. I was rounding a curve today and drove right into a sea of this fog. I quickly slowed down and turned on my low beam headlights. Seeing the road ahead was now a struggle. The heavens above were gone and I felt like I had been transported into a shadow world. Everywhere I looked there was only a dismal grayness. Even the...

My Adopted Son Made This For Me

By John on September 18, 2013 / 5,378 views

As a single male and unable to have children, I just completed an adoption of a 12 year-old. This is what he made for me. If your a single male/female and want to adopt, just take the plunge! Youll change someones life, and youll change your own too. Get started now, my process took almost a year. As long as you can pass the background, have stable employment, and can pass the home study, and have lots of love to...

Subway

By The Coolest Kiddy Kat on September 17, 2013 / 2,638 views

Some lady went into Subway to order a sandwich. She didnt look like she was the best off. She had five small children with her, none of which even had shoes. She only wanted a $5.00 12-inch sandwich to split between herself and the children. Seeing that that was all she could afford, my dad stepped in. He told her, and all of the kids to get whatever the wanted along with chips, and drinks. She got teary eyed and...

YES

By Joseph J. Mazzella on September 17, 2013 / 2,813 views

I find that the older I get the pickier I get about what I read. I just don't want to waste hours and hours of my life reading something that isn't going to enlighten, inspire, or entertain me. I can still remember the last time I walked into a book store at a mall. I glanced down the self-help section and was amazed at the number of books there. There were books to help you lose weight. There were books to help you...

The Day I Stopped Saying "Hurry Up"

By Rachel Macy Stafford on September 16, 2013 / 8,021 views

When you're living a distracted life, every minute must be accounted for. You feel like you must be checking something off the list, staring at a screen, or rushing off to the next destination. And no matter how many ways you divide your time and attention, no matter how many duties you try and multi-task, there's never enough time in a day to ever catch up. That was my life for two frantic years. My thoughts and...

Running Into His Arms

By Joseph J. Mazzella on September 12, 2013 / 8,508 views

This life is so full of beautiful moments. All you have to do is open your eyes and your heart to see them. I saw one just the other day. The local elementary school had just let out and I found myself behind a school bus as I was driving home. The bus stopped by a house sitting on top of a hill. A little girl no more than 7 years old hopped down the bus steps and started running up the driveway toward the house....

Embrace Life's Most Frustrating Moments

By Connie Criscitello on September 11, 2013 / 8,340 views

Last week I locked my keys in my car not once, but twice! The second time it stressed me out so much, I actually started crying, thinking no one has luck this bad. Later that day I became curious about whether or not someone can actually have more bad luck than someone else, and did a little research on the subject. I learned 3 things from the brief research I did: 1. Everyone has these daily annoyances and no...

A Perfect End Of A Perfect Day

By Lily on September 10, 2013 / 1,927 views

Today was a really good day for me because I passed all of my tests at school (I'm sixteen). Also, I got to spend time with my lovely boyfriend, and today he kissed me and it was perfect. Sorry to squeal like a teenage girl (which I am), but I just thought it was a great story, especially because it was my very first kiss. He's so wonderful....

A Giver Of Hope

By Dana on September 10, 2013 / 5,304 views

Tonight as I was walking into the hospital to start my shift, a young man stopped and asked me to give a flower to a patient. When I asked where she was he stated, "just any patient and keep one for yourself for being a giver of hope for your patients". It is nice to know that there are people out there with selfless hearts....

Those People Who Walked Out Are A-holes. I Hope This Helps

By Chris on September 09, 2013 / 4,907 views

Last night, I went out to dinner with my wife for our one year anniversary. It was an excellent dinner and afterwards, we thought we would go have a drink before getting home. We sat at the bar and I ordered a drink while continuing our celebration. The bartender looked very stressed and I overheard her talking to her manager about a table that had apparently walked out without paying her. I could tell it was...

And I Thought I Was Helping Her

By Blu3Dream on September 08, 2013 / 2,100 views

Not being on a field trip since middle school, I decided to go to a San Francisco museum exhibit for a Saturday extra credit opportunity. I took BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) from Berkeley to SF. I never used the San Francisco's public bus system so I didn't know what to expect except so I stocked up on quarters. While waiting for the bus, I was holding on to about $2.50 in quarters and fiddling with them in my...

McDonalds Smiles

By Saavedrac on September 04, 2013 / 8,928 views

Today my husband decided he wanted to have McDonald's. So I packed up my 10 year old daughter and decided to go through the drive thru and take it home. Right behind me in the drive thru was an older women who wasn't smiling and seemed flustered. So I pull out a piece of paper and write a note. On this note it said "Everyone deserves to smile". I pull forward pay for our meals with my debit card, pull out extra...
