Travel
(by Gio Evan) Try to travel, otherwise you may become racist, and you may end up believing that your skin is the only one to be right, that your language is the most romantic and that you were the first to be the first. Travel, because if you don't travel then your thoughts won't be strengthened, won't get filled with … Continue reading Travel
A Different Christmas Poem
(by Jeff Giles) The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,Transforming the yard to a winter delight. The sparkling lights in the tree, I … Continue reading A Different Christmas Poem
Only One Life
(by C.T. Studd) Two little lines I heard one day, Traveling along life’s busy way;Bringing conviction to my heart, And from my mind would not depart;Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last. Only one life, yes only one, Soon will its fleeting hours be done;Then, in ‘that day’ … Continue reading Only One Life
Shoes in Church
(author unknown) I showered and shaved. I adjusted my tie.I got there and sat in a pew just in time.Bowing my head in prayer as I closed my eyes,I saw the shoe of the man next to me touching my own. I sighed.With plenty of room on either side, I thought, 'Why must our soles … Continue reading Shoes in Church

Why English is so Hard
(origin unknown) We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes, But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes. One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese, Yet the plural of moose should never be meece. You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice, Yet the plural … Continue reading Why English is so Hard
My Child Did Exist
(origin unknown) "I've lost a child," I hear myself say,and the person I'm talking to just walks away. Now, why did I tell them? I don't understand.It wasn't to get sympathy or to get a helping hand.

The Devil’s Playground
(by Shea L. Watts) You walk among the good, gaining their trust. You hypnotize them into believing you, Contaminating their minds with lies, Tempting their souls with an escape. Once they believe they cannot survive without you, An overpowering adrenaline takes over. A need, a desire, Then a metamorphosis occurs. In your deceit, they believe … Continue reading The Devil’s Playground
