Romance
Maria Zannini and Touch of Fire by Rochita Loenen-RuizI’ll have to admit that I was quite surprised to find myself engaged by Leda and Grey’s story. Set in a future where the technology we’re familiar with has given way to the rule of magic and the elementals, Touch of Fire broke the stereotyped image stamped on my brain from reading paperback romances back in highschool. - Published 2008-08-14

On Creating Memories by Johne (Phy) CookLinda and I were preparing to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary, by which I mean that she had showered and was dressed in some comfortable, casual sweats, and when I arrived home from work, I produced a single rose from behind my back, tadaa!
That doesn't sound like much, and if the evening stopped there, you'd be right.
But there's more to be said about creating memories, (including the crucial element of surprise), and you can read all about it here. - Published 2008-06-26

From Easter To Christmas 1998 by Robin Offerdahl On Maundy Thursday morning at 4:00 a.m., the alarm clock sounded, and I dragged myself out of bed to get ready for work. There would be no need to eat breakfast. My fellow officers and I would be doing that shortly after breaking from morning line up. Just a shower and a shave, followed by a quiet and relaxing cup of coffee. No point in turning on the news either. I would know soon enough what had occurred overnight in this nation’s seventh-largest city. - Published 2008-03-21

A New Year's Offering by Rochita Loenen-RuizThinking about this year, I had to think of the first story I told in a Dutch Sunday School. Included here is a retelling of the calling of Samuel, and as I reread this story, I have to think of how important it is to welcome the New Year with a heart that’s ready to listen for the voice of God.
I hope you enjoy the following retelling of Samuel in Temple.

Two Paths, Reprised by Johne (Phy) CookI'm a guy, a geek, and a gamer. I love gadgets (and, apparently, alliteration).
The appearance of a new technology (especially one as portable and powerful as this) would normally be a cause for celebration, but you know me well enough by now to know that it was exactly the opposite experience for me.
You've read the the poem about two trails diverging in the woods. This is the modern rendition. Instead of approaching two new trails, I've been down both trails, and love them dearly. The difference here is that, until now, these two trails have run parallel to each other. Now, for the first time, they have intersected, and I must choose between them.
Specifically, my decision this time was different because my choice involved not which trail to explore, but which trail to abandon.

Restoring Our Rocks by R. L. CoppleI used to pastor a little mission church on a hill. It sat in the midst of the Missouri Ozarks, a very wonderful place to experience nature. But one thing I learned, hills produce a lot of rocks! Next to the church building, a group of rocks always lay on the ground.
When I first moved in, I thought I would keep throwing them off into the forest to help clear the area. But no matter how many I picked up and threw away, there always seemed to be more the next time I looked. Rocks continued to pop up out of the ground. On one my of my last days at this parish, I looked at the group of rocks next to the church. After two years of tossing rocks, it looked the same as when I had arrived.
