Try A Little Harder -
 - Gregory Lewis (1,603)    
Gregory Lewis   
Although I haven't contributed to SearchWarp as frequently as I once did, in fact I write every day for other venues, namely, school.
Check the "Questions for You" page, where members are asking some pretty good questions. More than a few are clever. One question caught my attention this... ( added 27 days 8 hours ago.) |
Life Was Created For Us, Let's Not Use It Against Us -
Susan Thom (12,047)    
Susan Thom
We all have our complaints, we're not saints (or most of us.) Dwelling on all the problems we've accumulated definitely could put us in a bad mood. Stress levels heighten, and arguing, rudeness, and anger become a way of life. Fear is usually at the core. Fear of losing our job or our home, or... ( added 28 days 22 hours ago.) |
How May I Help You? -
Dianne Lehmann (5,182)  
Dianne Lehmann
If you walked out of your house one morning and saw a bird with a broken wing huddled in some nearby bushes, what would you do?
There is a book that was published some years ago titled, "The Book of Questions," by Gregory Stock, Ph.D. The above question is one of those in the book. The book... ( added 34 days 5 hours ago.) |

Meditation - What's the Point? -
- E. Raymond Rock (3,068) 
E. Raymond Rock
Sitting quietly, doing nothing, what a waste of valuable time, right? You could be on the computer or cell phone talking with friends, or doing something really productive or fun. Why sit quietly? In life, two things separate successful people from ordinary people: creativity and energy. People... ( added 36 days 5 hours ago.) |
A Place Where I Belong (Searchwarp.com) -
Susan Thom (12,047)
Susan Thom
I can honestly say that Searchwarp is a place I feel I belong. I found it while searching for online magazine sites, and that was in April, 2007. I have always wanted to be writer, or author, but never had the opportunity until I began on Searchwarp. I could write to my heart's content, then post... ( added 38 days 23 hours ago.) |
"I Don't Know Where I'm Going, But I Sure Know Where I've Been" -
Susan Thom (12,047)
Susan Thom
The future is wide open, and blind to the mind's eye. I can dream and plan and hope for things to happen the way I want. With a clean slate, anything is possible, but until the future becomes the present, I really don't know what's in store for me. Faith and Hope carry me through from one day to... ( added 43 days 1 hour ago.) |
What Is The Difference Between Depression And Clinical Depression -
Susan Thom (12,047)
Susan Thom
I have battled with both kinds of depression, and these are my opinions. Everyone is different, and should see a doctor if they are having any of the symptoms I will be mentioning. Have you ever gone to see a movie, and walked out of the theater crying? "Brian's Song" is one of those movies, or... ( added 133 days 1 hour ago.) |
Blind Devotion -
Dianne Lehmann (5,182)
Dianne Lehmann
A woman walks up to her local 99 cent store. She has been there at least a hundred times before. She pushes on the front door to enter the shop and the door does not open. In the past, it has always opened when she pushed on it. She pulls out her cell phone and checks the time. Yes, she is there... ( added 139 days 5 hours ago.) |
Who Do You Consider A Friend -
Susan Thom (12,047)
Susan Thom
We have many "acquaintances" throughout our lives, but there are very few people special enough to be a "true friend." The requirements are selfless and exhausting at times. Acquaintances receive the old, "I'm fine" when asked how we are? A true friend gets every detail until they feel they were... ( added 141 days 1 hour ago.) |
Do Our Pets Have A Soul -
Susan Thom (12,047)
Susan Thom
I brought home a little kitten for my three kids, sixteen years ago. Now Kitty, (we have a knack for originality) was not the "sweet, sit on your lap, roll over and let you pet her stomach" kind of cat. She was declawed, but didn't know it. Our little rescued cat was the "bat you every time you... ( added 152 days ago.) |
Nostalgia -
Sara O'Rourke (791)  
Sara O'Rourke
The person I am now, living and breathing today, is a light year away from the person I was a year ago. Having recently celebrated my nineteenth birthday, I have embraced the unknown and the excitement of the future, blind to the past. I feel it is of vital importance to continue in life and in...

Stuttering: My Friend Doesn't Stammer When She Sings; Why? -
Mogama (15,965) 
Mogama
One of the strange things I did for boyish adventure was learn to stutter. My dad couldn't stand hearing me stutter. I never told Dad this, but I admired my first cousin who was a stutterer; I wanted to stutter like Cousin Joe.
I almost told my father that perhaps I wanted to stammer in order... ( added 193 days 16 hours ago.) |
In The Far Reaches Of My Soul -
Susan Thom (12,047)
Susan Thom
Ever since I was a young girl, I had a sense inside of me, in the far reaches of my soul, that would speak to me and allow me to feel things other's did not. I could sense what type of mood someone was in just by feeling their negative or positive energy. I knew when my dad was home, and was... ( added 193 days 19 hours ago.) |
Ah, Mr. President, Come And Sit With Me For A While -
Susan Thom (12,047)
Susan Thom
I have always wanted kids, Mr. President, ever since I was a little girl. I would play with my dolls for hours, nurturing with every ounce of my being. My dream was to have kids, and love them, take care of them, guide them, and instill good morals and appropriate boundaries. I was able to do so... ( added 199 days 21 hours ago.) |
Inspire Yourself To Be Happy -
Susan Thom (12,047)
Susan Thom
The ability to be happy, and to savor what that feels like, inspires me to enjoy life. I love nature, and the cleanness of country air, and all the beautiful wildflowers that grow, how they got planted always remains a mystery. Little animals, paying attention to their biological senses and... ( added 208 days 15 hours ago.) |
When God Visits Our Mind, Do We listen -
Susan Thom (12,047)
Susan Thom
How often do we profess to want God to intervene in our lives, and gently guide us in the right direction? "Dear God, help me" is probably the most widely used phrase in History. We pray, we talk, we try kneeling, sitting, standing, lying down, any way we think we might grab our Father's... ( added 211 days 20 hours ago.) |
Our Darkest Hour May Be Our Future Foundation -
Susan Thom (12,047)
Susan Thom
I don't think anyone wants to go through the pain of heartache, disappointment, disillusionment, or the loss of a loved one. Situations hurt, people hurt, life hurts sometimes, and there are many dark hours that test our Faith and dishearten our souls. The heavy feeling of hopelessness is hard to...

Choosing Not to Be Mad -
Avis Ward (11,455) 
Avis Ward
I was training in Atlanta last week. Have you experienced the surge of adrenalin when you impart what you know to a receptive crowd? Or learned something new to help with your growth and development as a person? The ideas rush in like bees to a honeycomb. I am still pumped but the world is trying...

My Son Is Leaving For The Air Force -
Susan Thom (12,047)
Susan Thom
I happened to have my 21 year old son on the night before we were moving into our new home. No one could come to see us because they were all helping to move us in. We were alone, and we bonded. Our birthdates are 10 days apart, and we share many of the same character traits, both good and bad.... ( added 305 days 15 hours ago.) |
This Is No Accident -
Susan Thom (12,047)
Susan Thom
Did you ever wonder why you exist? What a Higher Power's plan is for you? Is there even a plan? Is there even a Higher Power? If we follow the plan, and do the right things, will be rewarded? If we don't choose to follow the plan, and commit wrong, will we be punished? If our intentions are... ( added 314 days 23 hours ago.) |
What Do I Know For Sure Anyway? -
- James P Krehbiel (1,141) 
James P Krehbiel
The older I get, the less I seem to know for sure. It's not that I lack wisdom, but life is not a clear-cut, fixed matter, but an ever-changing, fluid experience. Each moment is new and is filled with the wonder and mystery of the unknown. As a child, life appeared certain. I lived in a comfort... ( added 332 days 2 hours ago.) |
How Do You Keep Your Integrity In Tact -
Susan Thom (12,047)
Susan Thom
I believe the most important key to being comfortable with ourselves, is to be honest. This needs to start from within our own minds. It takes experience and maturity, but we all can get to a place where we know whether or not we are being honest with ourselves. When we are being truthful to our... ( added 344 days 7 hours ago.) |

Lord, I Have Been Weary -
Susan Thom (12,047)
Susan Thom
You may be tired of hearing me call your name Lord, for I have been doing so all of my life. Whether in times of great sadness, depression, anger, or excitement and happiness, I have come to you to ask for help or to thank You for Your gracious charity. If I had a dollar for every time I have... ( added 354 days 15 hours ago.) |
Where Is Our Common Sense -
Susan Thom (12,047)
Susan Thom
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. Rebels? Stubborn? Or just not aware of the simplicity... ( added 1 year ago.) |
Are You Comfortable Sitting With Yourself -
Susan Thom (12,047)
Susan Thom
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 animal with my blanket. I was well taken care of and... ( added 1 year 6 days ago.) |
