.... and conscienceless; the perfect scientist. He painstakingly climbed onto the two foot platform in front of the podium, making a little grunt that accidentally found its way into the microphone. "Hello? Can you guys hear me in the back?" He gurgled in his natural grotesque voice. With the acknowledgment of the audience, he sipped the glass of ice water which stood on the podium and cleared his throat. "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am here to inform you of a discovery that my team of genetic scientist and I have discovered." The more he said the more I wanted to hear. I wanted to shout to make him blurt it out, but it was impossible to speed him up, attention was the ....

.... winter chill hits my face like a lighting bolt. My red hair, which usually illuminates my blue-green eyes, is tied back under a white Hard Rock Café hat from London. The brim of my hat hides my lightly colored angel kisses, which are scattered across my baby doll cheeks. I am a big bulky Eskimo waiting to fish. Dressed in gloves and a blue Adidas wind suit with more layers than you can count underneath I wonder why I am here. Usually at this point I am wishing I were in bed A few others my age are there as well. I am not the only one that some people call crazy. After an hour of drills, sprints, running, and laughing everyone races back to their cars to try t ....

.... it was. I was so afraid of it and there was no way that I was going to control that monster-sized material. The bicycle remained in my backyard as a decoration for a month because I refused to ride it. Honestly, I was scared to try it. After a month, my dad gave me a lecture to teach me what being a man was all about. I was finally determined to try it. My dad was proud of me and I felt very manly. He and I went to the park to see what we could do there. The park was empty when we arrived. I had no dought that my dad told everybody not to be there because we had to use it. I felt badly for other people, but I was proud to have such an onnipotent p ....

.... the sun didn't shine any brighter. And I had doubts. But I must say that a wonderful transformation has taken place! There is a noted change in my demeanor from the embittered woman that I had been before. I see the world through different eyes. Through my quest, I have learned that religion cannot fill the void in my heart. It takes a person to fill that void and that person is Jesus Christ. Salvation is not found in religion, but in a relationship with Him. Jesus said, "Ï am the way and the truth and the life no one comes to the Father except through me"(John 14:6). Now my life has meaning and purpose. My walk with Christ has been very fulfilling. It has not ....

.... my mother, and John, it was time for us to leave my family members who were like parents to me and my best friend Joey to come here to Virginia. Dad had gone to Virginia about 2 months before my Mom, John and I because he had to begin work right away and we didn’t have a place to stay in Virginia yet. In September of 1987 I began kindergarten at Waterloo Elementary school. On October 1st my Mom had a doctors appointment in York because my second baby brother was on his way. I went with my Mom because my Dad had to work and wouldn’t be able to take care of me for the weekend, but little did my Mom know that she was going to have to stay in York for the whole month ....

.... rate. Moveable type printing presses, Indoor chamber pots, new dyes to make everything around very pretty. This is a very enjoyable time for me. JADIE: Yes, Yes, how true. Especially the pretty things. Our dresses are brightly colored and extremely detailed, as that was the movement in fashion of our time. These things are very expensive and only royalty such as ourselves can afford such a luxury. LAUREN: Say, do you know what's for dinner tonight? JADIE: Silly girl! Its what we have every night in the castle Ingvey, Everything! A feast of huge proportions. Bread, cheese, meat, fish, vegetables… all made fresh by the peasants this morning. Yes, what a glorious ....

.... and unsuspecting handyman. They are usually a great deal more involved than what you may have bargained for. Around September in 1995, my wife was watching Bob on television. He was installing a new set of kitchen cabinets in an old house. Well, she decided that I needed to do the same thing because it was a very simple and non time consuming project. She said that Bob did it in thirty minutes and so could I. She took me to "Home Depot" in Orange Park and picked out her new kitchen cabinets. I was a little unsure about this kitchen cabinet thing, but the salesman assured us that the entire project would be a "turn key" installation. The salesman asked me if I ....

.... would know where to dig trenches. The trenches allowed 100 cannons to be close to the British but still be under protection. Soldiers were moved to the area and issued shovels and picks. It was truly a patriotic moment to see General Washington break the first ground at the Siege of Yorktown. We had sent a small band of men to the western side of us to fire on the British. Our plan worked and all the British inside were soon firing on them while we dug our trenches. When dawn came around they saw their mistake and started firing on us but no harm was done. It took nine days to dig all of the trenches. Finally on October 15th we were prepared to start the siege. As th ....
