  • His Eyes – Krista Guillen

    As I fell I could only hear my screams. The birds that I heard when we first came, the crickets singing their melody all drowned out by the deafening sound leaving my lips. Though the fall should’ve lasted a few seconds I experienced it as minutes, hours, days. Questioning my judgment, questioning his intentions, questioning…

  • Unicorn in the Garden – Edward L. Woodyard

    A Fable by Edward L. Woodyard Inspired by I Corinthians 13 A happy man walked alone through a large garden one starry night. A unicorn appeared and approached him. “Why are you happy?” the unicorn asked. “I’m in love,” said the man. “Why do you wander in the garden?” “I’m trying to find the meaning…

  • Art is Everywhere!

    Of all the places we go and things we see, we are inspired by the magnificent pieces of art that have been created around the world. When we see these art pieces, the thing that comes to my mind is all the different forms art can take. Art doesn’t have to be limited to paintings…

  • What Are The Options?

    When you think of the word travel, one typically thinks of the marvelous places they want to visit. Do you ever think of transportation though? What do you envision yourself traveling in when you do think of traveling? Do you want to try a new transportation experience? I have never traveled by boat; I have…

    When it comes to your significant other, how far would you go to woo them? Can you think of the great lengths that you or someone you know did for someone else?

  • Don’t Forget To Pack Sunscreen!

    Did you know the original meaning of the word desert was an abandoned place? It’s not as abandoned as you think. The desert is a whole world filled with lots of sand (about 20% of deserts are covered in sand), thriving plants, and plenty of animals. You may not think of this as your ideal…

  • And….. Blast Off!

     Have you ever thought about traveling to outer space? Not to say that Star Wars and Star Trek weren’t enough to set our space odyssey into hyper-blast, but what if there was a whole other dimension out there waiting to be discovered?  Space has always been a fascination of mine. I remember going outside on…

  • Ready, Set, Fantasize!

    What happens when you need to take a reality break? It’s easy to get caught up in another world!  I’m a huge bookworm, and for me, there is nothing better than to escape the demands of the real world by jumping into another. When you read a really good book, it’s as though you are…
