The reason I choose a house in Norton Shores area is simply because it is a great neighborhood and is quiet, an excellent safe place to reside with your family. In the Norton Shores area there is an extremely low crime rate and in the Norton Shores public school district. the school system in the Norton Shores school district is safe and a place of higher leaning, for an even better reason, It's a place I would trust to send my own children if I were to ever plan on having any in the near future…

I guess I am not shocked at the fact that Mickey Mantle received preferential treatment over people who were probably on a waiting list before him or who had never touched a drop of alcohol in their life and needed a liver for other reasons. He was probably not the first and definitely not the last. I remember another very famous alcoholic, Larry Hagman who played J.R. on Dallas. There was a lot of backlash, after Larry announced he had cancer and 2 months later he was undergoing surgery…

This year my youth group at northside baptist church went on a ski trip, We went to winter place in West Virginia, We started the bus ride in rock hill south Carolina and the bus ride was about six to seven hours long, Once we arrived at the hotel we all got our bags and went into the lobby area and we dissected the planes and what we were going to do, We got our planners with the schedule and devotions, After that some of us played cards while the others went swimming. The next day we woke up…

In a world where most of us are rushing, we need to slow down and have a bit more compassion for one another. We’ve probably all been that person hustling so quickly to get to class or work that we’re sweating under our jacket, letting the fury build up in our chest as the people in front of us move so slowly. So slowly. It’s especially infuriating when we get stuck behind human statues on an escalator. Why the heck aren’t people – at the very least – slowly walking on the moving stairs? In…

Up until about 2 years ago, almost all of my perceptions stemmed from what I learned in the environment I was raised in. I did not have my own opinions or beliefs. And I certainly did not have my own way of looking at things. Everything I knew was taken from my everyday life in the incredibly conservative and religious household I grew up in. It was only at eighteen that I took a step back and evaluated my life. Coming to the realization that I didn’t really have any perceptions of my own was…

Narrative Did you ever wonder how it feels when you are young and travel from one country to another foreign country that you have never heard about? For me, it was a very life changing event to move to a Nation that I’ve never even heard of. It came so sudden, One day I was in Ninth Grade, doing class work, and the next moment I was told my Dad is getting deployed back to the United States because of his job in the U.S Army. Then I move to an U.S Army Base, where I’m surrounded by so many…

“Nothing is perfect. Life is messy. Relationships are complex. Outcomes are uncertain. People are irrational.” This quote was said by Hugh Mackay, the founder of an Australian quarterly research series, The Ipsos Mackay Report. Everyone has different feelings on what a healthy relationship looks like. Some believe you should never fight and always be happy with each other. Others believe in tough love, in order to make the most out of someone you have to push them to their limit. The reality,…

Home is “another country, a mother tongue, a relationship-- “It’s possible to live within the ambit of a person not a country”-- an organization or political party” (Gready). Exile, on the other hand, “is strangely compelling to think about but terrible to experience. It is the unhealable rift forced between a human being and a native place, between the self and its true home: its essential sadness can never be surmounted…” and is “a potent, even enriching” experience (Said). While in The…

It's a drag to try to date as a young adult living with mom or dad. It isn't much better if you have a roommate. Life is so much better if you have a space that is truly yours. But how do you make that happen? 1) Run The Numbers Start by finding an online mortgage calculator and playing with it a bit. See what kind of impact different percentages of down payments have on the mortgage payment. Look at homes of the type you aspire to own and get a feel for roughly how much they cost. This…

Harlequin was starting to feel dizzy. Everything was swirling together. He knew he was close to whatever wanted him. He kept walking, step by step, hearing the crunch of every leaf and branch each crushed. He was determined to help whoever needed it or find whatever needed finding. All of sudden he was forced to stop, he trudge on but it used up all of his strength, he ended up falling onto a root of the nearest tree. Harlequin’s mind was taken somewhere else, through someone else’s eyes. He…
