My schoolteacher daughter and I often had discussions about whether cursive is still relevant in our society today.  Being dominated by cellphones, iPads, and other electronic devices, our communication with each other now comes from the cold, emotionless, printed letters of keypads.  I concede that printed lettering is easier to read and Emails and texting can usually be done without much interruption in your workday. (multi-tasking)  Cursive Is Not New Cursive is not new. It is thought...

She came unexpectedly into my life. I was not ready to release my heart again, which is something held close and guarded as you would a small bird. Like most who have a few years of wear and tear on them, I have experienced a lot of heartbreaking loss and my heart finally shut down, no longer willing to open for any new relationships. For me, being raised not showing emotion or tears was a...

17-16 Years old So, Liz and I would be watching a movie together. The protagonist in the movie (a man) would stop at a disco on his way home from work.

I try to stay busy and seldom have very much "downtime". And, honestly, downtime is too soft of a word; it's more like a crash. Maybe that's my problem, I need more downtime in order to avoid a crash? On the other hand, current events and...

I Support Freedom I have fallen in love with the Ukrainian people. These beautiful people have tasted freedom and have committed to keeping their freedom until their last drop of blood. The Ukrainian people realize the same thing. If they lose they will forever live under the iron thumb of an angry Vladamir Putin. We have all gotten a good look at what that would look like. Mr. Putin will stop at nothing to destroy...

Happy teen boy and girl standing together Friendship and love concept If you are a Christian, you have a "Testimony" You may not be a legendary orator, writer, or evangelist but every Christian has a testimony. Generally speaking, each personal testimony is different, but all have one thing in common: we have become "born again." We are no longer the same person. The Pastors Daughter This is my personal testimony: I was saved at the...
