But Somehow

By Megan –To Corrie Ten Boom and the Jewesses of the Holocaust Beaten, bruised, battered. Treated worse than dead cattle. But somehow, she lost not the battle. Scarred beyond recognition.

The Trouble with Dogs

Once, there lived two neighbors, Sam and Jim, who lived right next door to each other.  Neither knew much about the other, so they just kept to their own business–at least before the Petsmart down the street had a sale on puppies.  Sam lived alone, and he decided that he should get a puppy.  What [...]

There Will Be Joy in the Morning

By Jonathon The barns are drying up; The rains refuse to come; Though the situation looks glum, God will fill my cup. There is no food for the pup, Not even a crumb. Though we’re kicked out to the slum, God will lift me up Though I feel I am losing this fight, Though I [...]
