From the time we are born, life hangs in the balance. From that moment on, it becomes a game of chance. Sometimes we win, other times, we lose. There are so many games from which to choose. We don't know how long we have to play. We don't know how much we have to pay. From first breath, the game begins. We don't know our losses or our wins. We learn the rules as we go along. We learn what's right and also what's wrong. We shuffle the cards; we throw the dice. If someone cheats, we pay the price. Bluffing can sometimes win the...

She solved the keeping cold things cold dilemma by filling an infant size inflatable pool with ice and nestling the dip...

Dave ran the final leg of the relay and after 6.2 miles crossed the finish line to cheering as the announcer provided background on the team's unusual name, “Livin' L...
God's Precious Half Acre On a knoll west of town, the angels stand guard As a few rest in peace, in a lonely graveyard Two miles west of Odessa, and south a half mile Lies this desolate cemetary, by itself - in exile Cordoned off by a fence, wire darkened with rust Along an old gravel road, whirlwinds kick up the dust Abandoned, deserted, like a young orphan child Unwanted, neglected - vegetation grows wild But - this small humble plot, with natural disguise Has a very rare...
