The Best Years of Our Lives

Super markets across the U.S will serve more than 400 million pounds of food each year. But In reality only a third of that amount will make it to a stomach. With the retailer’s assumption and picky consumers that are demanding large displays of unblemished and fresh produce and the consumer assumption of food as a constant renewable waste, many grocery stores are forced to toss out mountains of perfectly edible foods. The U.S has made efforts to cut down on food waste. The consumer food chain…

Patriotism Means To Me: Patriotism is standing up for your country, government, leaders, and your family. The truest definition of patriotism is seeing people giving up their time, energy, homes, and loved ones to fight for our country. For example, my Pappy served from the year 1968 until 1970 on the U.S.S. Ranger CVA-61. Whenever another ship came alongside theirs, they had someone riding on a full-size fiberglass horse, while they played the William Tell Overture, and that person was also…

therefore and make disciples of all the nations.” (NKJV) It is not just presenting the Gospel in word only but living out the Gospel indeed. We need to be light bearers to our neighbors and show them the way of the one true God. Rock the Block is one of the best outreaches we do at our church. I have been involved with it for several years. From Christmas, Easter, and the Back to School Bash it is always one of the many highlights to say I proudly stand up for Christ. We…

basic freedoms that we have come to expect. They live in fear of the government. People who speak out against the party are sent to labor camps where many are tortured or even killed. Knowledge of the outside world is restricted. They are poor and starving but believe they live in the best country on Earth. North Korea is the modern example of the totalitarian government that Orwell warned against. Luckily for us, people living in the U.S do not live in the constant state of fear that such a…

survey was done by Aon Hewitt with more than 7000 employees discovered that disengaged employee cost the company on an average of $10,000 a year. These are disturbing numbers. That is why I have always been an advocate of making the employees your best asset. Not sure why to this day employers don’t get this fact that when you make your employee your best asset you get more than what you asked for in productivity and it has been proven time after time. The one part I think management…

depth of what I feel for you? When I try, I am lost for words. I don't think I express my appreciation to you often enough for having given me so many happy years, so I've decided to write this letter, an anniversary card just doesn't say enough. It was five years ago tonight that you first asked me to be your girlfriend. As I reflect on our time together, my mind is flooded with happy and unforgettable memories. The very first day that I met you, I knew that there was something very special…

were to ask me which family other than mine that I knew best I would say the Woodards. The Woodards are our family friends whom with I spend countless hours with. Last year, both of our families decided to go on a vacation in the Caymans together for Fall Break. Caroline, who is in sophomore year of high school, is one of my best friends. Over the past year we had grown apart because we do not have a lot of time to hang out in the school year. Homework, studying and trips always seem to get in…

In our lives, there are a lot of parts that we don’t know and there are a lot of questions that we don’t know the answers to. Maybe we aren’t in the best place in our lives and we don’t know where we will be next year, let alone the very next day. It’s a natural human instinct to want to know, to be curious, and to try to fill in the blanks. When there is suspense, there are two common instincts: fear and hope. In any given situation, when we look to the future we can either dread, or look…

down. My father was in his bedroom, located a few doors down. What was Hell for me was silence for others. For them this was the usual occurance that played over day by day. I remember this memory like it was yesterday, though they happened almost 7 years ago. “If you don’t want me, then I’ll just run away!”, those were the comforting words that I repeated. They were the words I weeped, I breathed, and the words I dreamed. “We are wont to imagine rare and delectable places in some remote and…

for all of us ‘Friendship’, is the relationship between people. Many people say that they can’t live without friends. Ofcourse, as all other living things, we need our kind to live. But its a controversial topic that we need or we just like to communicate and to socialize. Nowadays, friendship is seperated to some subdivions such as; real friends, long friendships and ofcourse BFF’s which means ‘best friend forever’. These subdivions are for the people who say friend to everyone they see. The…
