I've read five of the six stories Ace has posted here on GA. I highly recommend all of the completed stories. Each is fast-paced and filled with passion, love, and a look at life from a different prospective. Ace has the talent to be a famous author one day. He is certainly an Ace in the hole.

Happy Birthday to a very sweet and caring person, Renee!

Tell me and I’ll forget. Show me, and I may not remember. Involve me, and I’ll understand.

When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice. - White Elk

You are good looking, because you are you and there's no one else in the whole wide world that's like you. We are all unique and thankfully so. The way we look on the outside is always changing, but the person I have spoken with in the pit shows me you are someone with compassion that cares about people, no matter what they look like or where they are from. That's a good person and that's you. Be proud of who you are.

After the author's mother died, he restarted college and slowly stopped posting. I have no other information or insight to the author's thinking. However, he himself posted both of his stories here as well BEFORE he stopped posting altogether.

Man has in the name of God brought Hell to earth for millions of people, but it was man. Many things in the Bible may be actual events or they may be parables, like Jesus of Nazareth used to teach. Which is which, I can't claim to know. Many of us have been demonized by the"Church". The very Church that is suppose to be the body of Christ, full of love and compassion for EVERYONE, non-judgemental, and protector of the weak. Yet that church has vociferated on the perceived sin of homosexuality while ignoring the fact that everyone single person sitting in every church are sinners. My own father once told he only hated three types of people, liars, thieves, and queers. I still haven't gotten completely over that sex talk. Science is apparently proving more and more everyday the validity of recorded events in the Bible. The very theory of the Big Bang, something from nothing, creation, is basically what Genesis recorded. I myself have no way to prove anything. I do have faith. I do love God. I do love all of you and I try very very hard not to judge, but I am human, I do fail. The difference between Christianity and most other religions, I can have forgiveness. We all can. Love you guys!

That is so sad you see it as a possible problem, but very believable by some actions and inaction. To me, and I am truly only speaking for myself, the century is irrelevant. When I look around the forests, the mountains, a simple small brook, I see all the small and large creatures and plants that inhabit them. I look up at night and see the billions and billions of stars that make up the visible universe, and my spirit crys out at the majesty of creation. Yes, creation. For no one can ever convince me that everything is all a fortuity occurrence. However, I also choose to respect everyone's beliefs, unlike some. I must question your statement concerning "most Europeans." Are you including Eastern Europeans? Furthermore, to me "living a life style influenced by Christianity" mean two things and two things only. Love the Creator of this amazing universe with all your heart and love your fellow man. Tell me kind sir, how is that hard to relate to with the world we live in today?

President Bartlet: Good. I like your show. I like how you call homosexuality an abomination. Dr. Jenna Jacobs: I don’t say homosexuality is an abomination, Mr. President. The Bible does. President Bartlet: Yes, it does. Leviticus. Dr. Jenna Jacobs: 18:22. President Bartlet: Chapter and verse. I wanted to ask you a couple of questions while I had you here. I’m interested in selling my youngest daughter into slavery as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. She’s a Georgetown sophomore, speaks fluent Italian, always cleared the table when it was her turn. What would a good price for her be? While thinking about that, can I ask another? My Chief of Staff Leo McGarry insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly says he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or is it okay to call the police? Here’s one that’s really important ’cause we’ve got a lot of sports fans in this town: Touching the skin of a dead pig makes one unclean. Leviticus 11:7. If they promise to wear gloves, can the Washington Redskins still play football? Can Notre Dame? Can West Point? Does the whole town really have to be together to stone my brother John for planting different crops side by side? Can I burn my mother in a small family gathering for wearing garments made from two different threads? What Bartlet says in this TV show, is indeed chapter and verse. Further, the point he is making is a very valid point. A point I too hold. For whatever reason, that was the law, but then the law was fulfilled. I once prayed for God to let me know if being gay, active or inactive, was a sin. A three word verse came to me as my answer. God is love. Peace Billy

AJ. I've always respected you and supported you where I could. I hope you find what you're looking for and may it bring a lifetime of happiness.

Lisa I promise to continue both stories. In fact, I'll combine them in the near future. Thank you so much for your continued support!

I too found it later on Nifty and still ran into a wall on Christmas. However, KD promises new chapters soon with the help of a new editor. If the new one is the one listed here on GA, he has a good one and the chapters should be even better, I so look forward to them!

I found a cute story today called "Paper Walls", by KD, a new author here at GA. The story was first post back in early fall, but it just caught my eye today. I read the first 11 posted chapters and I fell in love with it. It centers around a fifteen year old adopted football prodigy from Russia whose adopted dad is a coaching legend of Texas High Football, himself. KD does an awesome job of bringing his characters alive and leaves you wanting more. If fact, the chapters could be longer, but KD doesn't short change you in the content department. I don't do this too often, but I highly recommend this story to all.

I actually just started reading your story today, and I really like it. I can hardly wait for the next chapter, but I guess I must.

Welcome to GA. I'm a little behind all the comments, but I just started your story. Awesome beginning introducing who, I assume, are the three main characters. I look forward to reading the rest of the story.

Hey Benji! It's a humdinger of a spot I find myself in. Well, not as bad as Tony, but I have a feeling it'll all work itself out in the end, some how. I just wish I knew

The Field of Love Chapter 8 Hold On Hold on to what is good, Even if it’s a handful of earth. Hold on to what you believe, Even if it’s a tree that stands by itself. Hold on to what you must do, Even if it’s a long way from here. Hold on to your life, Even if it’s easier to let go. Hold on to my hand, Even if someday I’ll be gone away from you. As Sammy walked into the school the next morning, he felt something was amiss. He couldn’t quite put a finger on it, until he saw

Thanks for the welcome back! I missed the boys, too. I guess that's why I started again

Thanks

The Field of Love Chapter 7 The day was mostly overcast, but the sun would peek through every few minutes. It was a little warmer than normal because of the cloud cover and mildly humid from the moisture pulled up from the Gulf Coast by a stalled area of low pressure in the mid-west. No rain was predicted for the day, yet it was a possibility. Nevertheless, to Sammy, every day he had an opportunity to play baseball, was an awesome day. The team wasn’t exactly playing a real game; it was a

Thanks Dark for your kind words. As for fiction verses reality, perhaps that could be a question for another time. It's humbling to be mentioned in the same blog with Mark and Dayne. Both are out-standing authors, who have understandably amassed a large following. I highly recommend their writings.

Lisa, you might like this one. It'll be a more down to earth kinda of story where a man and boy become more like father and son even though there's no blood relationship. Where a man takes control of his own desires and makes the desires of the boy's most important. A boy not of this world, but is human nevertheless.

Thanks Richard

I've begun work on a new story, a Sci-Fi/Fantasy story. I won't begin posting until it's completed, beta read, and edited. Word of caution, it could take a while. In the mean time, I will continue to develop The Field of Love and at some point, merge it into Trials and Tribulations. I hope I don't disappoint. Billy

You can only have one Mother Patient, Kind, and True. No other friend in all the world will be the same to you. When other friends forsake you, to Mother you will return. As we look upon her picture, Sweet memories we recall. Of a face so full of sunshine and a smile for one and all. Sweet Jesus, take this message, to our dear Mother up above. Tell her how we miss her and give her all our love. We can shed tears that she is gone or we can smile because she has lived. We can close our eyes and pray that she'll come back or we can open our eyes and see all she left. Our hearts can be empty because we can't see her or we can be happy for tomorrow, because of yesterday. We can remember her only that she's gone or we can cherish her memory and let it live on. We can cry and close our minds, be empty, and turn our backs or we can do what she'd want. Smile Open our eyes Love And go on.
