... wondering exactly what they
should expect.
I did not want to go to the top of the mountain. It would take a
long time, and we wanted to go shopping and head back to our cabin before
it got too late. I walked into the woods and soon I was beside a lake
totally enveloped in fog. I was facing a rock wall. The blue dots on the
wall indicated that the trail went straight up. Wonderful memories rushed
into my head from from other rock climbing adventures. I have always loved
the rush I get from heights. I love the feeling I get when I have
accomplished something that has challenged me, the feeling ...

... differences
and even presented cards to the children nobody liked. That one day of love
seemed to unify the worst of foes through love and forgiveness. I could hardly
wait for that day to come.
As the night before Valentines Day had rolled around, anticipation had
escalated to an all time peak. Nevertheless, it was all set aside as my parents
once again started to fight. My brother and I were sent to the car in the garage

and I could still hear angry voices dueling back and forth. My brother was a
senior in high scho ...

... some really great people last year who went to Redeemer's. I
was invited to one of their youth group meetings, and I was amazed that
thirty high-school kids were there. We talked in-depth about Jesus and

switching churches. They knew that Redeemer's was right for me, but at the
same time, they wanted me to stay with my old church. I tried to do both
for a while, but my old church kept wanting me to commit myself to them. I
found myself wanting to be a part of Redeemer's and commit myself to them.
My parents now fully understand, ...

household items will be done by these machines much more quickly and efficiently
and with less pollution. Almost all of the current manual labor jobs,
especially in the United States, will become obsolete and robots will do all of
the work for us. The advantages of using robots and computers include no pay,
no time off, and no complaints or questions asked. Also, nearly every job in
the future will require extensive knowledge and skills of computers and anyone
without them will be completely lost.
At the pace that doctors and m ...

... and driving on the wrong side of the road. I was taking hairpin turns thirty kilometers over the speed limit.
"I'm in England!" Jack would yell as he poked his head out of the sunroof.
Though I could barely hear him above the blaring music.
I felt care and worry free. We were headed for the first party of the school year, and rather quickly at that. I was so preoccupied with the road and talking to my passengers that I didn't notice the blue and red lights flashing in my rear view mirror. I kept driving until I casually glanced to my left to check my blind spot and spotted a police car containing ...

I awoke early Saturday morning August 17, my wedding day, or was it? I really wasn't a nervous bride. I finished packing my luggage for the honeymoon. I went to get my hair styled and do some last minute touches. All set at least that's what I thought.
My wedding was scheduled to start at 4:00 P.M. My mother, sister, and I arrived at the church. It was almost four o'clock. I was at the church waiting to walk down the aisle with my dad. Suddenly, someone came in and told me that the groom wasn't here. All the wedding party was h ...

Community service is detrimental to college students. I was
talking on the phone with my cousin, Waldo, who lives in Rhode Island. We
got to t ...

for a moment. "Coulda been the Champ. Didn' get a chance. Said I don' got
the killer instinct. I know I got it. Jus' need a chance." His audience
nodded appreciatively and exchanged understanding glances. Billy shuffled
to a stop and shook his big head as a huge grin split his battered face.
