ABEL-CAN ANIMALS SUBSTITUTE HUMAN LOVE?
Well, there is someone for me now- I thought as I bought him home from the pet-shop, My boy had left me last week, Now I have him to kiss my cheek Ah! What a company! I took him in my lap, And showed him my house's little map, Which I had made for the rose now faded, Which was seen by the...

Premium Member What Hope
What hope if I alone must strive commandments to obey? Could all my self-constructed good withstand the Judgement Day? Supposing I could keep one day completely free from sin. Would that be good enough from God eternal life to win? If I protest my innocence before the accusing Word, would that persuade the Righteous Judge to leave my case unheard? Nothing that I articulate can contradict God’s Word; indelible...

Another teacher runs in. What are you doing? Teaching them a new song. Who are you? I am a substitute teacher who kept...

Premium Member The Substitute Teacher
Tension from every corner of the room. No one moved. The gunman and the substitute teacher locked eyes. She started laughing hysterically. Not understanding why, hating herself for it. Terrified because her traitorous body was laughing. She dared not look at the other children in the room. He showed her an expression she had never seen before or since. She had no...

Mean Old Substitute Teacher
The teacher we all had grown to love, Was nowhere to be found. In walked this hefty, old man, Who slammed his suitcase on the ground. He had a beard like Santa Claus, And was husky like him, too. In fact, as I recall…. There was a huge hole in his left shoe. He didn’t seem chipper or upbeat…. And he didn’t smile too...

The substitute teacher comes in all grins, giggles, and smiles. Her resume’ runs on for a thousand and six hundred miles. She is perky and ready, and thinks it is going to be fun. By noon she’s ready to call it quits we even saw one run. Her hair is all crisp and clean when she enters our school. She...
