This I Believe: Love what you do
By Linda Johnson, Contributing writer on Mar 09, 2010 10:16:38I believe in loving your job. Recently, I was volunteering at the House of Mercy Christmas store wrapping gifts for the neighborhood children. As I work, I usually ask the children their name and what grade they are in. That often leads to a conversation about what they like best about school. One young man responded, “I really like school and work hard at it because my dad and mom say that I must do well in school so I can get a job I really like when I grow up.” I responded that I am a nurse and I teach nursing and I love my job too.
Lessons through break up
By Victoria Gricks, Staff writer on Mar 09, 2010 10:16:19Even though it happened a few months ago, I remember everything perfectly.
I was working out at the gym, trying to calm down from arguing with my then-current boyfriend. I tried to ignore my phone so that I could cool off for a bit, but that plan never worked because we just kept talking. Eventually, after about 30 minutes of sending bickering texts back and forth, it elevated to the point of no return – he broke up with me.

By Devin Ruic, Staff Writer on Mar 09, 2010 10:10:20Day after day, we here about President Obama’s crusade to fix the health care system in the U.S. This is a subject I’ve written about before, and I’ve criticized the ideas put forth by the Democratic-controlled Congress and the President as being poorly planned, bloated, inefficient and any number of other negative things. So, according to Rasmussen reports, I would be listed as an individual that is “Strongly Opposed” to the proposed health care reform.

Don't ask and don't tell: Homosexuals in the U.S. military
By Devin Ruic, Staff writer on Feb 10, 2010 08:01:01Devin RuicI entirely, wholeheartedly, unequivocally agree with President Barack Obama, and I think I just heard a few people’s heads explode from my apartment.
Sorry to disappoint – but a 2008 Washington Post poll found that 66 percent of so-called conservatives agree with me, too. This makes it tremendously easy to agree with our president’s endorsement of the repeal of the 1993 Clinton-era policy of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” also known as the inferred prohibition against homosexuals in the American military.
