It was a freezing snowy winter break, the snow was white and soft on the cold hard ground and my brother (Josh), my cousin (Andrew), and I were at my grandma’s house. We had just finished a game of Clue, which was a board game I was good at. Usually Josh or I would win. We decided to go sledding back on the big hill in the bean field. I got on my snow equipment quickly and was waiting on Josh and Andrew. I was almost sweating, having the full snow suit on inside. After what seemed like forever they

and I'm speechless as I sit in front of this amazing sight. Nothing bothers me as I slowly look around the beach. A feeling of calmness wraps around me like a warm blanket. I am at peace with myself. All I can hear is the sounds of the waves crashing against the shore, and some seagulls, flying overhead squawking. The cool wind blows softly through my hair sending chills down my spine. It is all so calm and pure. The fishy smell is not so comforting; the smell tingles my nose; as I breathe

Firefox I almost went with it as the browser of choice. Then came the resource hog issues and the slow browsing experience, and, sometimes, the crashes. Firefox would always crash. I would be browsing for thirty minutes or so and it would keep crashing. There was Opera, a browser nearly as speedy as Chrome, with a handy "Turbo" option which speeds up browsing, but with none of the snooping issues I felt with Chrome, or the CPU hungriness associated with Firefox. It had little gadgets like tabs

I think about how prevelent cheating has become now these days. It is actually so disheartening to know and hear about how people are able to look into his or her significant other eyes, say, “I love you” and not be faithful. It actually hurt my heart to read that Myrna Ten Bensel thought people were supposed to be married forever and have a happy ending, but then came to the realization that was not what God had in store for her. “‘He came home one evening, the evening of my son’s swimming banquet
