Pity There Are So Few Heroes Around -
 - Anja Merret (745)     Anja Merret   Every now and then when I want to feel inspired I visit ted.com.

War Is Natural - Peace Is An Accident -
Michael Kocis (836)  Michael Kocis  I can smell the disdain for that title already, it doesn't take much to hear the chants of peace and love coming from the passive group that think, no make that believe, that mankind does have the ability to live together in harmony.

Dear Mr. President -
Susan Thom (8,103)    Susan Thom This war in Iraq is a sin, needed for our safety or not, which I rather think not. I know of nothing that has been accomplished, and yet so many thousands are no longer with us, their wives, husbands, kids, or families.

The Edible Bible -
- E. Raymond Rock (2,265)   E. Raymond Rock Years ago, I thought of manufacturing and selling edible Bibles. The book would be condensed, including only the most frequently quoted scriptures, with pages made of a thin, wafer material similar to Catholic Holy Communion hosts.

J. Louise Larson (1,464)   J. Louise Larson There was a little a bit of Dallas history for sale on the Internet.

How Do You Catch Wild Pigs -
Michael Kocis (836) Michael Kocis I live in a medium size town in Northern Arizona and along with the typical deer, raccoon, skunk, chipmunk, squirrel, and coyote we have these wild pigs called javelina.

American Idol Presidential Vote -
- Michael Kocis (836) Michael Kocis It's really shaping up to be one terrible election year, now that we're down to the final four. On one side we have a guy that has enough money to possibly buy his way in, but he does "look presidential." Oh that's important. We really want the winner to look like a winner. Hey, it's what got JFK... ( added 212 days 23 hours ago.) |

Maybe I'll Start A Club -
J. Louise Larson (1,464) J. Louise Larson So I found this article online: not one black member in the Dallas Country Club. (See this article in the Dallas Morning News from a year ago Here .)

Free From the Past: Encouragement for the Soul (3) -
- Teresa Ortiz (5,740)  Teresa Ortiz Even though I know I have been forgiven and freed from my past, there are those times when the devil comes to whisper (more like shout) in my ear with a voice of condemnation that says, "Do you really think God would forgive you for all those things that you have done?" During these times... ( added 221 days 7 hours ago.) |

What Does “I Am A Christian” Mean? -
- E. Raymond Rock (2,265) E. Raymond Rock When we say that we are a Christian, or Buddhist, Jew, Muslim, or Hindu, what does that mean? When I was a faith-based Christian, it meant that I believed.

Out of the Darkness and Into the Light. -

Could Recent Shootings Have Been Prevented? -
- Mark Gregston (514)  Mark Gregston I believe that most young people who go on a shooting rampage in malls or schools, do so because of a combination of two things: hopelessness for their current situation and a sense of abandonment by others.

A Light To A Dying World -
Judi Lake (2,193) Judi Lake I don’t blame non-believers for being “turned off" by Christianity; not one bit.
