This is a story about a pastor who decided to skip church one Sunday morning to play golf. He told his assistant that he wasn't feeling well and drove to another city where no one knew him.

That's quite an interesting question, don't you think? Many ostomates go about their everyday life as if it's great. They go to work everyday and their co-workers have no clue about who this person really is. Once they get home the mask is taken off. Many are truly lonely and alone once they leave the work environment. They have no family or friends, but what they do have is a computer or similiar device as an outlet.

The real, enforceable signs have a tag on the back verifying they issued by to governing authority and violators will be ticketed, fined or punished in some other manner. So from now on, when we encounter a STOP sign and we’re exiting the Home Depot or the Acme lot we should pull over, get out of our vehicle, walk over to look at the back of that sign to see if there’s an official l...

This is a story about a country grandmother. She would go out on her porch daily, and thank God for another day. Her next door neighbor (Dave) didn't believe in God. He would shout over to her, "There's no such thing as God". One morning he heard her praying for God to provide her with groceries for the week. The following day, he snuck over and put groceries on her porch. When she came out, she said, "Thank you lord, you did it again!" Her neighbor, who had been watching for her reaction, began to laugh.

After my surgery (2015) while trolling on the computer, I lucked up on this site and started reading, dag there were many like myself. My thoughts were I found a home, initially I didn't post I kept reading. It was comforting to know I wasn't alone in this journey, The things that were happening to my body were happening to others.

Hey everyone...I just finished my last IV chemo treatment 2 days ago.  I have two weeks of pills to finish and then my chemo is over.  I should feel so excited right now.  But the only thing I can think about is "now what?"  What if the chemo didn't do it's job?  What if it comes back somewhere else?  I know better than this.  I am a Bible-believing Christian and I know that my very existance is completely in God's hands.  But for some reason, this is really in my head.  All I keep thinking abou...

I heard about three Pastors on a fishing trip. One of them said we never let our hair down. Lets tell each other the areas in which we struggle with the most.  The first one said I hate to admit this, but I have a problem with gambling. "I sneak out a lot at night to gamble."
