... Rags to riches, triumphant, what could be better? However, ominously, Cinderella, has a darker side. How do I tell Blair about Cinderella’s fatal flaws? For, despite, the picture perfect image, and despite the advancing years, Cinderella, is still as codependent as ever. In fact, the sin of Cinderella is her ongoing, untreated codependency. Where has Cinderella been this past decade? Why has she been in denial while the rest of America worked on its’ inner child, adult child and dysfunctional family issues? It’s clear she’s missed John Bradshaw’s series, "The Family." Obviously, she hasn’t boned up on codependency, let alone, women who love too ...

... about service projects, which need to be done and are great, but never God. I really wanted to grow spiritually and know more about God. I was not receiving that knowledge at that church. I met some really great people last year who went to Redeemer's. I was invited to one of their youth group meetings, and I was amazed that thirty high-school kids were there. We talked in-depth about Jesus and chapters of the Bible. I really enjoyed it. I talked to my parents about switching churches. They knew that Redeemer's was right for me, but at the same time, they wanted me to stay with my old church. I tried to do both for a while, but my old church kept wanting me t ...

... into the ceiling. The stairs gave off a feeling that a person has to have privileges to walk them. When we finally reached our seats, the seat belt signs turned on. I quickly hopped into the window seat and buckled my seatbelt. Soon the soothing voice of a flight attendant was giving instructions over the intercom on emergency procedures. I began to hear the whining of the engines, and with a clunk, we began moving. As the plane began to roll backwards, the captain announced on the intercom how long the trip would be. When the plane finally reached the runway, the engines started to scream as more power was wanted. Rolling down the runway all that I saw wa ...

... it and continued fishing. Then as i was getting bored and drowsey I heard a yelp and the old man shot up. He had a bite! As he was fighting it he started talking and telling me how to catch a REAL fish not the guppy in my bucket. As he talked and talked the fish got closer and closer and he netted it up and took a look. The fish was about half the size of mine but it was a carp not a catfish. I gave a little laugh and continued and he tried to explain...."well you see boy, a carp is a hell of alot harder to hook than a catfish. Carp don't just eat everything they see, they're very selective. So if I were you I wouldn't laugh to hard just yet". I wasn ...

... already waiting for her. They said at the same time "There's a pop quiz in math today!" "How do you know?, said Cathy. " We heard Mr. Biller talking about it to another teacher." "I'm going to fail!"exclaimed Cathy. Cathy hated math, probably because she had it first hour. Cathy was having a bad day, she got 1 out of 50 right on the math test. From then on it was downhill all day. Until science her science teacher was going crazy about the explosion of Earth. She found out that there was a nuclear war between the United States and Russia.

... for fifteen minutes. This was not only easy because I could estimate one quarter of the way around the timer, but also because it has little lines and numbers that stick out. Physically I got through my workout as usual but emotionally I did not. Within the first ten minutes of having the glasses on I felt sad. I already missed seeing my surroundings with unimpaired vision. There is nothing to interesting to look at in our exercise room but I actually missed reading the same old posters that I read over and over almost unconsciously. One poster says, “Stone Cold 3:16,” with a picture of Steve Austin in a wrestling rink, and the other is a brunette in a skimpy ...

... listening to this I thought that he was trying to take away some of my freedom. I didn’t understand that he was trying to protect me from the many dangers of driving in bad weather. Then one day there came an especially bad morning. It had been very foggy the previous night, and by the morning the fog had greatly thickened. Before leaving for work my dad reminded me to ask my mom to take me to school. I thought, “I’ve been driving for a few months, I can handle it.” So I proceeded to drive to school. The fog was so thick that I could not see more than a few feet ahead of me. Out of no where I saw a little dog appear in front of my car. There was no way I could a ...

His eyesight is most likely poor, and it seems that he is very exceptional, but tries to make up for his faults. He obviously prefers to perform simple tasks in exciting, unusual ways, likes a good discussion, and is not afraid to rev ...

... horror with the rest of my family and friends. We had no idea what had happened. The next morning I really don't remember very clearly, but what I did was reading the news paper and coming across an article about a house burning down not to far from mine. I really didn't know what exactly to think at that time until it all clicked upstairs. The noise the night before had been the house burning down and the natural gas line exploding. Later in the article it said that our block of houses wouldn't have any natural gas heating until the line was repaired. The first thing I did was run to the kitchen, finding my Mother and Father there fixing breakfast. I started t ...
