Dont Get Caught In Your Own Mind Although hard a times, we need to prepare ourselves for whatever life brings to our souls. In order to do that, we usually need to experience something that will need to be healed. Since each new experience is different, and there may be... ( added 364 days 21 hours ago.)

Where Is Our Common Sense I think common sense is one of the most basic instincts we are born with. Even as babies, it made sense that if we touched the cat, it was going to scratch us again, so we stopped touching the cat! And then, there were some of us who did.... ( added 1 year ago.)

Are You Comfortable Sitting With Yourself I guess as the first child, I was used to being by myself for the first 22 months of life. Alone in my crib, in my playpen, in the swing. Being the curious type, I was probably quite content playing with my toys or snuggling up to a stuffed... ( added 1 year 6 days ago.)

Will A Black President Be Harmed In This Day And Age If History is made, and the United states Of America nominates it's first black President, how much will he be in harm's way? There is still racial prejudice, still crazy people who don't consider human life something worth preserving, and the... ( added 1 year 7 days ago.)

From Within Our Souls, Or From The Highest Point, God Still Reigns To many of us, God is an entity that reigns Supreme in the Heavens, and keeps His eye on all that goes on. This may be true, but He is also in our heart and soul, and should forever be in our mind. We all come from different backgrounds, some were... ( added 1 year 9 days ago.)

If I Could Write God A Letter Dear God, I am so sorry for all the selfish and greedy ways your sons and daughters have chosen to adopt in their quest for the American dream. There are many who spread your word, but there are just as many who don't or won't listen. It... ( added 1 year 13 days ago.)

Why Must War Be An Option Who was it that couldn't figure out that talking with someone man to man, eye to eye, just may bring about some positive and agreeable changes? I understand that if these changes did not occur, and our land was at risk, we would have to fight.... ( added 1 year 15 days ago.)

What I Do When Lightning Strikes Me Life is filled with ups, downs, ins, outs, near and fars. Hopefully, as we grow up, we have a pretty normal upbringing. No household is perfect, but ideally, we learn about respect, discipline, honesty and spirituality. These manifest into our... ( added 1 year 17 days ago.)

Umbrellas Don't Stop The Rain, A Hardened Heart Won't Stop The Pain When it rains, we can protect ourselves to a point, either by rain gear or an umbrella, but we can't stop the source; the rain. When we try to harden our hearts to the pain of life and relationships, we are not stopping the source of that pain. We... ( added 1 year 19 days ago.)

More And More "Families" Are Not Connected Biologically I never know whether God makes things happen, or allows them to, and waits to see what we'll do with the circumstances we find ourselves involved in. With a ratio of 1 out of 2 marriages ending in divorce, these times are very different than years... ( added 1 year 22 days ago.)

Intervention Is A Tool To Take Seriously Denial is a natural state of mind it seems, since I've known so many people who are in it, myself, at one time, included. Dad drinks too much but he's my hero, he knows what he's doing. Denial. Mom hides bottles of vodka around the house, but so... ( added 1 year 23 days ago.)

I'd Like Three Men For President Let's just think a little bit outside the norm for a minute, and wonder what it would be like to have three men in office at the same time. Each has different views, different politics, different religions, but they must all agree before something... ( added 1 year 24 days ago.)

Let Honesty Shine Through Blame is such a destructive decision making process. The decision to deny that you said or did, or didn't do something is to make the decision to lie. Fear is usually behind any lie. Those who don't have a thick skin can't handle the reprimands... ( added 1 year 25 days ago.)

Will You Value The Answer To Your Prayers I think there are some of us who believe that if we pray hard enough, and long enough, our prayers will be answered. When our lives don't move in the direction we prayed for, we are confused and doubtful. We don't realize that God truly is in... ( added 1 year 27 days ago.)

I Hope God Has Something Up His Sleeve I am so disappointed, not just with the candidates getting ready to run our country, therefore, the mandates by which my family and I must live, but the bickering among people as to who's opinion is right. Right or wrong, it is our privilege to... ( added 1 year 28 days ago.)

Should We Take Pride, Or Give Up I have lived in New Jersey all my life, and have been to places of beauty. Lewis Morris Park is serene and secluded.

What I Have Developed From My Parents My mother was a warm, caring, compassionate woman with a wicked temper, born of frustration, if her four kids continually drove her nuts, which was at least twice a day, and probably more. She was relieved, I'm sure, when all her little babies now... ( added 1 year 31 days ago.)

How Do You Take That "Leap" Of Faith One of the definitions of "leap", is the word hurdle. This implies a barrier, obstacle, hindrance or difficulty. Isn't it when we are up against one of these, that we turn towards our Faith to sustain us, guide us, and comfort us as well? I... ( added 1 year 33 days ago.)

How Do You Reinvent Yourself For those who feel there is nothing wrong with the way they are, and they don't need to reinvent or change a thing, this might not be the article for you.

Reduce To The Bare Essentials Maybe if each household was made to reduce everything they own to just the bare essentials, and donate the rest to the same charity everyone else did, our World would share the haves with the have nots.

Open Today's Gift, And Leave The Rest Behind Our day begins in our minds. Our first thoughts will usually govern our day. If we know this, why then wouldn't we make sure we think of positive, uplifting things when we first wake up. Yes, we are groggy, still tired, in a fog, but to remember...

Toxic Waste Can Seep Into Relationships We can all surmise that the toxic waste, handled with careful precision, and extreme safety, obviously must not be good for us. It's not good to breathe in, through our pores, or our noses and can only do us harm. Toxic waste will melt every cell... ( added 1 year 40 days ago.)

Is Your Life Half Over, Or Half Alive At fifty two, I doubt I will live to be one hundred and four, which leaves me in the category of my life being half over.

We Are All A Shining Star In God’s Eyes Since pre birth, I believe God had a plan for each and every one of us.

How I Stay Away From A Drink I have loved drinking since I was 14 or 15. We were like many other households in the late 60's, early seventies; the kids were given tastes of beer, wine, and even a mixed drink here or there. Whatever the adults were having at whatever... ( added 1 year 43 days ago.)
