Moral Rape - Thankful for Abortion, Religious Freedom, and Mr. Obama - Gregory Lewis
A tribute to Mr. Obama’s successful administration. He recently said that the economy was so devastated by the decisions of our last Republican President that it would take longer than one term to fix it. It would take longer than two terms, and probably longer than one president. Many... Submitted 15 hours 4 minutes ago. NEW!
A Friends' Cemetery - Jack H. Schick

NY Park in the Sky - Two Guys Make A Dream Come True, make the world a better place for New Yorkers - Jennifer Stewart
I love the American capacity to think and dream big and turn those dreams into magnificent realities. New York's Park in the Sky is such a perfect example of it. In 1847 the City of New York authorized railroad tracks down Manhattan’s West Side. It was a great idea, but it caused a lot... Submitted 4 days 16 hours ago.

Justifiable Arson? - Jack H. Schick
A couple of years ago I got really sick. I had a chest cold for a month and then, suddenly, my knee joints flared up. I’ve always been susceptible to getting gout (it’s amazing how the flare ups became so few and far between since I quit drinking beer). I was in tremendous pain and... Submitted 17 days 5 hours ago.
Police Pursuits, Jesus and the Cross and Action -
- Steve KovacsPolice officers like pursuits. At least young ones do. Pursuits have loads of action and you’re chasing a bad guy. After all, people become cops for action, getting the bad guy and to a lesser degree, helping people. When I was a young cop, I loved pursuits and had several that were...

Stabbing Trial Begins: Punishment for the Crime - Jack H. Schick
I haven’t committed a whole lot of crime in my life. I have to say that I did perpetrate the occasional shoplifting and a little Halloween vandalism when I was a kid. I got a ticket from a hard ass township cop for not coming to a complete stop once, and I had to go to court for burning... Submitted 17 days 21 hours ago.

Stalkers Pay the Price - Jack H. Schick

American Buddhism -

Joel Osteen Quotes For When You Face Challenges and Indecisions & Need Encouragement - Fran Larson
When I was a teen, I would read Norman Vincent Peale’s The Power Of Positive Thinking, over and over. It was a map of how to get through life positively and also promoted God as a positive entity.

A Flash of London I - Sara O'Rourke
It is the classic thing, and strangely poetic, I suppose, to begin these series of articles with a commuter journey into the capital. This, after all, marks the beginning of a long, London day.
