Region: MarylandSo many times, religious people are seen in a very negative way. Although religious people often have good intentions, these same people are often judgmental toward others and restrictive in their views. My being a Christian doesn’t give me firsthand knowledge on the difference between being religious and being a Christian. However, I am writing from experience.

Region: MarylandWhen Anna Nicole Smith died, I remember thinking it was a tragedy. Although she had never found much success in her various film pursuits, she had been a perennial starlet of note on the Hollywood scene and, more importantly, was a young woman with her whole life in front of her, fallen before her time. Any such death should be considered unfortunate, and this was no different. What I didn’t understand at the ... more

Region: MarylandI have lived twenty-one blessed years. The Lord has truly been good to me even though I do not deserve it. I feel that he has blessed every one in America as well. How?, Some would ask. My reply... life. He has given us life that we do not deserve. We in turn have turned away and scorned what is sacred and true. We have been a society that wants nothing to do with God ... more
