...A brand new start in life. That’s what I’m getting, just like Lily Owens in The Secret Life of Bees. From horrible days to the best. I was finally going to get the father figure I always wanted, but never had. I’m starting over. I was two-years old, clinging to my dad as he packed up his bags, and went to the airport to be deployed to Afghanistan. I would never see the same man come back, just an empty shell of the man. For the next three years we would just avoid each other. Until he got deployed again. I was seven-years old, my brother was only four. He came back 400 days later, in an even emptier shell than before. He went back to working nights. Which left just me and him for an hour after school. Trying to avoid him like I had done in the years before, but it became harder and harder as the days went on. From having a crumb on the counter, to leaving a paper that needed to be signed out on the table, anything would make him a rampant brute. This lasted for six and a half years. My mom finally said enough is enough, and divorced him. I have grown up a lot through all of this. From becoming more patient with my brother’s ADHD, to forgetting the little things. Granted I do still have little to no patients sometimes, but I’ve learned it’s easier to forget than to drag it out and cause a big...

...I’ve been making you and dad breakfast every week for the past seven years.” I opened the cap of the maple syrup bottle and began to pour the maple syrup onto the French toast. The syrup took its time to make its way down onto the hot surface of the bread. I could slowly feel the tension building up as their voices gradually grew louder and louder. I could feel the bread crumbs on the table shaking with alacrity as the intensity of the inner conflict of my sister’s growing gradually unnatural. It went from being a casual Sunday morning conversation between family members to a complete bedlam. Words were being thrown across the table at the speed of light. The comments shared amongst the family members were like bullets being fired from opposite ends of a battlefield. I could here my sister calling my parents “useless”. There was enough of maple syrup on the French toast. Yet, I was craving for more. I tipped the bottom of the syrup bottle higher as more maple syrup dripped down onto the bread. By now, the French toast was perfect; there was enough of the sweet...

...Video Games: The Socially Accepted Drug After yet another strenuous day on the job, I arrive home only to trudge my way up the stairs to my apartment. As I get closer to the front door the louder the thunderous gun shots become. I open the door and see exactly what I expected to see. My little brother full of joy and laughter, as he lay there sprawled out on the living room floor, hands wrapped firmly around his controller to his PlayStation 4. He lays there with soda cans and chip crumbs neatly scattered around him, while his little feet are flip flapping around with not a care in the world. This is nothing new to me. He has been like this ever since he was about eight years old. It has only got progressively worse over the years as he in now about to turn eighteen. I mean the poor kid nerds out and plays for so many hours on end that I worry his little finger tips are near the point of exhaustion and could fall off his hands at any given time. My main worry is that the instant gratification and joy that these video games give these kids is blurring out the reality of “We have to work to make a living”. He has successfully completed every Grand Theft Auto game ever made. Concurred every Call of Duty game with his friends and is happier than a clam in the sand. He is intelligent in the way that he could out smart any beginner on a game console. However I’m afraid if you asked him to change a dead light bulb, he would be stumped. Over the past 14 years video game have become...

...INTRODUCTION Cakes celebrate the ceremonies and milestones of our lives birthdays, weddings, and almost any other festive occasion and for good reason. No matter the variety layer cakes, sheet cakes, Bundt cakes, cheesecakes brought to the table at the end of the meal, a cake always elicits admiration.

...For their passion so drove them, that the ones that live for them, the ones that would die for them, were callously ignored and given up for as lambs are for the slaughter, without hesitation and without remorse. They are nothing more than an afterthought. As they toil ferociously, tirelessly and ardently, their love’s and lives depended on it. They, the forgotten, are but reflections of the day vows were spoken softly and with such vigor as could move mountains. They mean nothing now, as more pressing feelings and emotions are taking place. One, the need for wealth and riches overcomes her such that her very loins have reached the consistency of withered grapes on the vine, and the other, such deep regret, ruing the day she allowed his touch to consummate the arduous ordeal. Both Mme. Loisel and Mrs. Mallard had a secret passion, a deep desire, which although given unto them for a moment, was just as quickly shattered and whisked away, just as their marriages would never have allowed those passions to come to fruition anyhow. Setting Although both settings appear to have taken place in the 19th century, it is difficult to say exactly where the short story “Story of an Hour” actually takes place. Considering the location of Chopin’s home the story probably took place in New Orleans during her own time, the late 1800s, but it could have transpired anywhere in America. Mrs. Mallard went “away to her room alone” and faces an open window. There is a roomy armchair into...

...The Lord was in the still small voice - 1 Kings 19:12. In what other ways might we hear The Lord speaking? This overview considers the question set, possible ways to interpret it and the need to frame it within an Anglican course context that itself reflects rich, diverse practices of praising, listening to and hearing God. The title of this essay refers to Elijah’s two mountain top experiences on Carmel and Horeb that depict how God speaks in contrasting ways; through spectacular events and displays of power and through a whisper which both calms and rouses the heart. Moving quickly through the story in 1 Kings 19, we see Elijah who has stopped rain, challenge the false prophets of Baal and Asherath to reveal the true God in a fiery showdown on Mount Carmel. After he has ordered the death of the false prophets, Queen Jezebel threatens his life. Elijah, discouraged, flees into the wilderness heading for Mount Horeb (Sinai) a significant place of God’s voice and revelation to Moses, at a key moment in the history of Israel. Perhaps in journeying to Sinai, Elijah hoped for a fresh encounter and revelation of God. Unlike Moses’ experience, God does not partially unveil his countenance. Instead, Elijah hears a still small voice in his cave of refuge, with God asking him what he is doing there. We might imagine that after calling out to God and seeing him work through spectacular events that Elijah would be reassured of God’s infinite power and love. However he is human...

...crack! We shook together the bits and pieces, parts and samples, textures and tastes, humors and distillations that would move her compass needle north to cool us, south to warm and comfort us, east and west to travel round the endless world, glide her eyes to know us, mouth to sing us asleep by night, hands to touch us awake at dawn. Grandma, O dear and wondrous electric dream ... When storm lightnings rove the sky making circuitries amidst the clouds, her name flashes on my inner lid. Sometimes still I hear her ticking, humming above our beds in the gentle dark. She passes like a clock-ghost in the long halls of memory, like a hive of intellectual bees swarming after the Spirit of Summers Lost. Sometimes still I feel the smile I learned from her, printed on my cheek at three in the deep morn ... All right, all right! you cry, what was it like the day your damned and wondrous-dreadful-loving Grandma was born? It was the week the world ended ... Our mother was dead. One late afternoon a black car left Father and the three of us stranded on our own front drive staring at the grass, thinking: That's not our grass. There are the croquet mallets, balls, hoops, yes, just as they fell and lay three days ago when Dad stumbled out on the lawn, weeping with the news. There are the roller skates that belonged to a boy, me, who will never be that young again. And yes, there the tire- swing on the old oak, but Agatha afraid to swing. It would surely break. It would fall. And the house? Oh...

How can we know about Hell? “There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate, full of sores, and desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; and in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham...

...altogether incidentally, I am a mother. Not too long ago a male friend of mine appeared on the scene fresh from a recent divorce. He had one child, who is, of course, with his ex-wife. He is looking for another wife. As I thought about him while I was ironing one evening, it suddenly occurred to me that I, too, would like to have a wife. Why do I want a wife? I would like to go back to school so that I can become economically independent, support myself, and, if need be, support those dependent upon me. I want a wife who will work and send me to school. And while I am going to school I want a wife to take care of my children. I want a wife to keep track of the children’s doctor and dentist appointments. And to keep track of mine, too. I want a wife to make sure my children eat properly and are kept clean. I want a wife who will wash the children’s clothes and keep them mended. I want a wife who is a good nurturant attendant to my children, who arranges for their schooling, makes sure that they have an adequate social life with their peers, takes them to the park, the zoo, etc. I want a wife who takes care of the children when they are sick, a wife who arranges to be around when the children need special care, because, of course, I cannot miss classes at school. My wife must arrange to lose time at work and not lose the job. It may mean a small cut in my wife’s income from time to time, but I guess I can tolerate that. Needless to say, my wife will arrange and pay for the care...
