"Only Fate Is Written" is a compendium of 32 short stories by CB Barrie which challenge precepts, belief and expectation.

These stories, parables and anecdotes are either counter-intuitive or logically inconsistent and, in that respect, thought provoking. Some are humorous, yet insightful. Some ask an unanswerable question, others will converge to an unforeseen…

When I was growing up, my hometown of Sparta, Illinois, had two very prominent industries. They were coal mining and printing. Both provided a good standard of living for its workers.



One, though, had the distinction of being the innovator and the single largest producer of its product in the world. That belonged to our printing industry. It was known to the world as World Color Press. We simply referred to it as the “Comic Book Factory”.

The quintessence of Christian living and lifestyle,

is becoming more like Christ through everyday trials;

Flaunting documentation of accomplishments compiled,

will not impress The Almighty or even make Him smile.

Are you hungering or thirsting for His Righteousness?

Or is it some vain imaginary or visionary theorization

to demonstrate a haughtiness of spiritual intellect?

Just because you’re a part of Jehovah’s holy nation,

doesn’t mean that you…

The foster care system in this country is clearly flawed.

Any reform…

And why it's sometimes okay to break them. http://jrlindermuth.blogspot.com/

Over the years I have always used writing to resolve my innermost feelings, and in the eighties, after having shared some of my writings with a friend, I was encouraged to publish a book. Titling it was difficult until another friend said, “It’s very much a woman’s book, Peggy,” so thus the title. - See more at:…

“Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It’s not something you learn in school. But if you haven’t learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven’t learned anything.” Do you know who said this? Take a wild guess. It’s Muhammad Ali. Yes, the boxer who floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee.

Ali is right you know. Friendship is not something you are taught, but somehow it just comes naturally. Friendship is actually a form of love where two people mutually…

So, when does sexual attraction stop and relationship begins? Is it possible for a relationship to last without sexual attraction?

In my humble opinion, sexual attraction does not stop when your relationship with someone turns into love. It just doesn’t stop once the other one begins since it is not the basis for the other one to exist. Sexual chemistry is actually extremely important in a relationship. Sure, love may hold a relationship together, but sexual chemistry keeps it alive.…

Since time immemorial, humans have been haunted by this question: Do ghosts exist?

The belief in ghosts is present in most cultures around the world. In European folklore, they are the souls of the dead who come back to haunt or harm the living. In Chinese traditions, ghosts of ancestors are believed to be able to communicate with the living through a medium.

Ghosts are called by many names and are thought to manifest themselves in various forms, yet they all have one defining…

When the United States of America and the United Kingdom fought during the War of 1812, a large number of enslaved Africans (well over 4,000) managed to escape American slavery and find eventual freedom. Slaves from places such as the Georgia and the Chesapeake Bay coastal regions of Maryland and Virginia escaped on Royal Navy ships that were part of the blockade along the American coast. These freed slaves became known as the Black Refugees. - See more at:…
