The First Easter -
 - Michael Kocis (1,052)  
Michael Kocis
Many things have been written about Easter, from how the Easter bunny came to be to why we decorate chicken eggs, all the way up to the original meaning of this day, Jesus rising from the dead. Now, I'm not going to put down any of these customs celebrating this incredible day because honestly, I... ( added 1 year 241 days ago.) |
Queen of Hearts and (softball) Diamonds -

Sandra E. Graham
As my husband and I browsed through our local Walmart store this morning, my husband-an old-school type of guy-remarks about all the hoop-la surrounding Valentine's Day.

Avis Ward (11,455)  
Avis Ward
I am a single, unattached woman. I am not dating anyone, even casually. I had the same status and happy circumstances for my birthday in October, at Christmas and the New Year. I did celebrate those occasions however, with people I love and who love me.

David Tanguay
He made it very clear - he said "I have a dream"
That my little children may walk in freedom
Let their laughter and joy sparkle and gleam
As the Lord looks down from his heavenly kingdom
He said let all men be judged by the content
of their character

A New Year Prayer -
Judi Lake (1,870) 
Judi Lake
I sit quietly with my daughter sound asleep in my arms and stare out into the dark night. It is peaceful and quiet. Everyone, including me, is sick with the flu.

Does a New Year Mean a New You? -
Avis Ward (11,455)
Avis Ward
We look to the calendar from whence cometh our help. Why is that so? We look at January 1 st as the answer to our previous year's frustrations. I wonder why? Herbert Hoover said, "About the time we think we can make ends meet, somebody moves the ends."
The concern I have about New Year's... ( added 1 year 313 days ago.) |
Old Lame Signs -
- Jackie Papandrew (119) 
Jackie Papandrew
You know how, when you're a child, and you don't correctly hear the lyrics to a song or the words to some hackneyed cliche that adults are always throwing around? Like the phrase my parents often spouted at me when, in a noble effort to be helpful, I'd point out to them the moral failings and... ( added 1 year 317 days ago.) |

Susan Thom (12,047) 
Susan Thom
At this most special time, when we are especially reminded of our baby Jesus' birth, it may be a good time to think about how we honor him all throughout the year.

An Underground Catechism -
Judi Lake (1,870)
Judi Lake
The delightful, whimsical classic, “The Twelve Days of Christmas" is far more than just a repetitious melody with a list of bizarre gifts. The purpose of the song, to my surprise, was actually “an underground catechism" for persecuted Catholics in England.
The "Twelve Days of Christmas" are... ( added 1 year 326 days ago.) |
LBD Conspiracy -
- Jackie Papandrew (119)
Jackie Papandrew
It's funny how one's self-image tends to stay frozen in time. Your mind picks out a moment when you looked your best, sometimes a moment that occurred many moons (and many pounds) ago, and it goes through some kind of freezing process that crystallizes this warm memory into a mental ice cube tray...

Robert Melaccio, Sr.
Now many of you will say you have your traditions and keep them regularly. Yet, how really fortunate you are.

Christmas, Is It the Season For Sales, Profits and of Course Greed? -
- Robert Melaccio, Sr. (5,185)
Robert Melaccio, Sr.
Now that we have passed the Thanksgiving Holiday and entered this "Holy Season" one starts to think about just what is so Holy anymore about Christmas?

My wife won't allow me in the kitchen on Thanksgiving Day!

Jackie Papandrew
What do you get when you take a dozen family members of varying ages and degrees of regularity, put them in the woods in a cabin with one low-flow toilet and then stuff them to the gills with Thanksgiving bounty?

Robert Melaccio, Sr.
Yes, that's right, many of us are getting ready to feast this Thanksgiving day and give thanks to God for our blessings while those 35 million will be lucky if they can eat a meal in a soup kitchen or have one provided by a charity.
