Just Say Something

Yesterday on my way back home from Jeff's house I decided to stop at Basken Robins. As I walk up not really paying attention this woman comes blasting out past me obviously disturbed about something. I wasn't going to be long before I knew why. I walk in and behind me another woman followed. Sitting at a table were two...

In Spite of Everything - A Teaching of Overcoming Adversity

1,970 views | Posted by Jocelyn Bishop on April 26, 2018

"In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can't build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions...

A Few Minor Repairs

1,930 views | Posted by Joseph J. Mazzella on April 30, 2018

The frame of my 23 year old car had finally become so rusted that it was unsafe. Sadly, I decided it was time to trade it in for a less old one. I found myself then at a local used car lot looking at a 12 year old sedan. There was no way I could afford a new car, but this one seemed in fine shape. I made the deal and drove it...

Do Your Best

One of the reasons it was such a great summer was because of school.You see I had failed to pass the second grade and the chance to do the year over without any of my new friends knowing well as you can imagine that was a relief like no other. This brought back a memory that I had forgotten about till just now. After a...

You write your own story, it is up to you what others remember you by

In life, something that is very certain is that you write your own story. You are in charge of all the things you do and all the things others remember you by. This means that all of your actions will eventually write your story. It is important to know what you want your story to be, how you want you and others to perceive you...

I am a nurse and had an unexpected period today (I normally don't have them at all) and called my boyfriend to bring me some tampons and new underwear he instantly said okay, even after he had just brought me a Starbucks coffee on his way home from work (he worked last night), and ~15 min later I see him walking up the hallway in full...

I asked my bar guest what she was writing. Turns out she has 3 daughters and she writes 5 lines a day to each of them. These will be gifts when they get married one day. Mom of the...

A Growing Heart

1,590 views | Posted by Joseph J. Mazzella on May 7, 2018

I was selfish as a teenager. This I freely admit. I usually spent my time thinking about myself and taking care of my own needs. I let my older brother do most of the chores around the house until he left for college. I let my Mom and Dad worry about our bills and problems while I read books, played, and lost myself in my own imagination....

One day I was siting on my bike outside of a little store in Bute Falls and this car pulls up with three kids a guy about my age and this old man that had to be in his late 70s. The kids and the driver get out and go into the store, a minute later the old man gets out and comes over and starts up a conversation. We talk for a bit...

Sometimes It's Worth Doing

Yesterday I was told something I have to share with somebody. We were talking about the struggles of work and their ambitions she said that today she was reminded of why she does what she does. The young lady is a personal teacher to 3 separate autistic kids, 2 boys and a 13-year-old girl. The young teacher just started in this...

Back to the square one!

It is not far away from the city, but a little away like two and half hours journey from the main city. In fact, it is granted as a place, where people can constrain themselves by practice, from all the evil effects of anger, lust, jealous etc. In one word, we can say 'Self meditation Centre'. Truly, the institution is located in the...

Got busted for violating the 'no pets' clause in my lease. Now my sweet old landlord brings treats for him every day

1,205 views | Posted by A friend on May 8, 2018

This is at my rented studio/workspace. I figured that if I kept the dog quiet, I'd be able to bring him to work with me. That secret lasted about a day. When I dropped by the landlord's place to give her a "let's have a good relationship" gift, the first thing she said was "Did I hear a dog barking...

Family Reunion

Epiphanies often come to us at the strangest times and wisdom often awakens in us in the most unusual places. It was a late Friday afternoon and my family and I were at the grocery store. We usually shop on Saturdays but the early Spring weather forecast had predicted a Winter snowstorm. Thus, here we were grabbing groceries in time to beat...

Beach Surprise

I always take a birthday trip to Florida to see my sister and we usually do fun, special, usually adventurous things. But this year was different because while I was there I got bronchitis so we just did low-key stuff - which was fine by me. I was just glad to spend time with my sister. But, I noticed during dinner a...

My Story - Make a Difference

996 views | Posted by Pastor Woody on May 14, 2018

I would like to share a story with you. This is a simple story of how your faith and your belief can make a difference in someone else's life without you even knowing it. My story begins sadly as I lost someone I loved dearly to what I now call "The Beast." What I am referring to is suicide. The woman I loved was...

I was having fun with my 6 year old daughter when she was invited for a kiddie party hosted by my colleague, a nurse, to celebrate the 2nd birthday of her daughter. My 6 year old little girl enjoyed the games and the prizes she got. For more fun, she wanted to go to a mall since it was too early to go home. When we were there, we...

I'm a manager at a Taco Bell in a pretty apathetic city. People trying to scam, steal, shoot up in the bathroom, pan handlers, the whole 9 yards. And today in the Drive thru a guy comes through and orders about $10 worth of food and after his order is made my cashier comes up to me and says that this guy wants to pay for the person...

Mother's Day Surprise

It was the day before Mother's Day 2013. I was sitting in my usual spot spending alone time with the Lord. I looked up and noticed the little Mother's Day statue Todd had given me many years before. I had it on a shelf along with other memories of days gone by. It was hard to believe it had been 25 years ago that Todd had died in a...

You will be always loved

If you want to be loved then you have to kill your expectations because expectations are that one thing which prevent us to holding on to a relationship. Expect from your own self that what you can do and what you can give to your family, friends and to society. Without giving, you will get nothing. Make a habit of giving and...
