 - Fran Larson (23,243)     
Fran Larson   
When I commute from Zephyrhills to Dade City on 301, I always notice a very tall, graceful, beautiful flag.

Do Not Judge Me!! -
M Buford (185) 
Believe it or not, this is not a sermon. It is just a thought. I heard that phrase, Do Not Judge Me', five times this weekend. I was just wondering is that the new catch phrase? I was doing my normal routine when I heard the phrase. I heard it three times when I was doing my running around... ( added 12 days 19 hours ago.) |

Jeff Brown
All too often in today's sights, sounds, words, and images (movies, television, music, magazines, and the internet) lust is promoted as love, but what is this lust? How do we define lust?

A Different Way to Live -
- E. Raymond Rock (3,087)
E. Raymond Rock

These Yankees and Their Dollars -- Raising a Child or Destroying a Village? -
Yangki Christine Akiteng (131,862)   
Yangki Christine Akiteng
Before you get all excited under the armpits, I do not have any negative feelings towards Yankees. It's just that I have always wanted to use the word "Yankees" in an article but never had the opportunity. And since the American dollar is still the "world currency" (no idea for how much longer)...

Yangki Christine Akiteng
Watching the Oprah Show, The Taboo Topic: What Social Class Are You Now? you'd think that being "degraded" from middle social class to lower social class is the worst thing that can possibly happen to someone.

Women Demand Equality - One Step Too Far. -
- Leah (12,659)  
Leah
When women call for a right to equality
they are relinquishing their right to be different. Women and Men are
biologically different, they have different needs and no law will ever make
women equal to men as it will always remain the case that women have babies,
women are mothers and women... ( added 1 year 85 days ago.) |

Don’t Let Your Children Grow Up to be Hippies! -

E. Raymond Rock
They knew how to chord a guitar, how to live together, how to relax, and how to live on a shoestring (and off Mom and Dad mostly!)

Jeff Brown
Prayer, what is it? Part of the problem lies in communicating what it is. And a key problem in communicating is being thorough. But why arent we able to overcome this problem, at least frequently?

Some say that moms are the most important people in the world, after all; where would we be without moms? And dads too. We wouldn't be at all!!

E. Raymond Rock
Nobody really trusts Wall Street anymore. It seems that a few smart people make out, but most of us just end up being suckers.
