NOT THE END

          I saw so much that day. What a horrific sight to see; what a terrible cry to hear. In all the shouting, “Crucify Him,” I watched as He walked down the road, carrying that huge cross. It must have been so heavy. When He collapsed to the ground, I heard the most horrific cry. A saw a woman run up to Him only to be stopped by the men who she was originally standing with. It was His mother…

The Man Behind a Legacy

Milton Hershey - The Great American Chocolatier

Hershey Born on September 13, 2022, Milton S. Hershey was an iconic figure in our Pennsylvanian history. Many know him as the great chocolatier who…

The Facade of Social Media

The Facade of Social Media

You see a beautiful sight in nature, and the first thing you think of doing is posting a pic to Instagram. Something great happens in your life or vice versa, and you have the urge to tweet the details. This is something everyone does, and it is a struggle to unplug and not post it.

Social media is a great way for people to stay connected and to stay up to date on what is happening around the…

A Love So Pure

A Love So Pure

A poem dedicated to all mothers.

  Where all love begins.

She gave us our roots,

And made us our wings;

So dreams we can pursue.

  All who we are;

All what we know –

We owe all to her,

For she watched us grow.

  Unconditional love –

The most powerful kind,

Bestowed from the above,

The hardest to find.

  God gave us mothers,

To care for us here.

There could be no other,

Whose love is so clear.

Our Living Hope

“Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, He cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over Him.” ~Romans 6:8-9

I was there that day. I saw Him die. I was a terrible thing to see, but people gathered to see. Some were sad, but many rejoiced. They were glad to see His death. The same people only a few days…

When Summer Ends What happens when summer ends? The nights become cooler, and the leaves change color. Refreshing rain and cool breezes chill the air.

The Cost for Independance

The Cost for Independance

“Don’t fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here.” ~Captain John Parker

Captain Parker was a farmer and an American soldier and was the one who said these famous words. This was on April 19th, 1775, when several hundred British troops went on a mission to seize a Patriot armory. They marched into Lexington and found 77 armed minutemen, who were warned by the famous…

The Gift of Spring

The Gift of Spring

What can you feel? What can you hear? What happens when we take a moment to slow down? What is it that we will see?

It’s that time of year when the air begins to warm up. It’s when you start seeing the buttercups adorning your yard and hearing the birds chirping their favorite tune. Spring is the season of rebirth and renewal; it represents new beginnings. New green grass is coming up from the…

Money, Money, Money

Money, money, money. It is one of the things this world revolves around, and it’s what classifies a person as rich or poor. This is also one of the main reasons why couples fight. I have found it is always the same thing – spending and saving habits. While one has learned the responsibility of saving, the other spends foolishly. This is unfortunately very common in today’s world; however, it is…

One Year Since I can’t believe it has been approximately one year since I started my blog. To be completely honest, I was a little nervous about putting my work online for the world to see, but it has been nothing but a great experience.

Precious Lives

Life is one of the most precious things we have in this world. Unfortunately, people don’t always regard it as precious. For some, life means nothing. This is a sad thing to realize, because God holds life in the highest regard for everyone in this world. Thankfully, most people can stand up for their lives and can speak out, but what about those who have no voice? What about those who some…

The Greatest Gift My favorite holiday is – without a doubt – Christmas. I love everything about it. I love what it celebrates and how it makes our traditions and memories so special.

What about Thanksgiving? Don’t blink, or you may miss it. Many people don’t even think about it until the week before.
