Creativity or Competition?
byTherese Ayla Kravetz Coming in first was everything as a kid. On Easter, my little brother and I got a head start for the Easter egg hunt. We took off out the back door a full two minutes before our taller, faster brothers got a start. Heart pounding, I was desperate to find some eggs before my brothers breathed down on me. Creativity was lower on the survival scale than competition,unless you were creative in sports.If a spark of creativity came through a well-timed volley in tennis or...

Caesar dreamed that he was sitting with the senate, moments before the attempt on his life. He sat next to Brutus, listening in on his conversation with Cassius. “When is Cimber going to give us his signal,” Brutus asked, eyes narrowed to thin slits.
“Patience, Brutus, our man will come through for us,” Cassius replied.
“He better, otherwise all of Rome is doomed to the will of a megalomaniac.”
Cassius smiled, “Cimber knows that, which is why...

The Pythia finally spoke, “You have failed, Witch of Arc. The Princeps lives. The prophecy, the prophecy! A purple gown set afire. Comets scar the sacred alter. Danger is everywhere, danger for you too, witch,” the high priestess began chanting in the strange language once more.
Joan hated being called a witch, even though she knew that the priestess didn’t meant it in the same way that the English did, “What needs to be done?”
The pr...

When Caesar woke up from his medically induced slumber, his head was hazy but the pain in his body wasn’t as severe. He managed to sit up to see that the room was quiet; the other two people were asleep and there weren’t any nurses or doctors present.
Near one of the beds, a pile of clothes sat unattended. Slowly, Caesar rose to his feet. Weak and off-balance, he took a moment to steady himself. When settled, however, he found that his fac...

Conversations with a Christian
The following is the entire conversation that I had with Vernita Simmons. We hold very different religious beliefs. It was quite interesting!
Vernita, this is a surprising interview, to say the least. We're onopposite sides of the religious spectrum. Your book, Capturing theSpirit of God's Word with Vernita, is a thoughtful exposition of embracing God's work. My book, Operation Cosmic Teapot, is a satirical look at how God is ultimately powerless in this world. How do yourespond to people lik...

The breeze rustled through Joan of Arc’s short dark hair as she looked up the long slope towards the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. She knew it as The Origin. The building had stood there long before the Greeks discovered it in the 7th century BCE. Fire and earthquakes threatened to demolish the building but to no avail. Only thousands of years had caused a few pieces of the structure to fall. Yet, its power remains.
Joan hated coming to...

Conversations with a Christian Part 2
Do you feel, forgiveness should be mandatory regardless of the how horrible the maltreatment imposed on you by others? Would the world be better off if we all sought vengeance?
To answer your first, question, what would it take me to gain faith, I think the answer is simple enough: solid evidence. Or rather, I don’t think that I could have faith, per se, but rather I require something more firm. Like a visit from the big guy. Otherwise, to me, he is a cosmic teapot, which should be explained....
