“Logic And Emotion” by Judy Robinson

Logic and Emotions Making decisions is complicated, and you must use logic and emotions to make the best decision. Emotions control 80 percent of your choices, while logic counts for only 20 percent. This flawed process has been around forever. The Bible Tells us that God and Jesus were angered by what people did on earth. It stated that emotions and feelings could warp our senses of right and wrong or change them so innocent people get hurt. Strong emotions were also in the Bible. The story of Cain and Abel where Cain's jealousy over God's ...

“Too Many Cooks Spoil the Broth” by Judy Robinson

Submitted to Contest #162

Too Many Cooks Spoil the Broth!   As Judy watched the news, with all the wildfires and record heat waves, the saying "too many cooks spoil the broth" seemed to apply.

Some are natural due to variations in the solar cycle.        Since the 1800s, human activities have been the leading cause of climate change. Fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas generate greenhouse emissions. These emissions act like a blanket wrapped aroun...

Submitted to Contest #159

While walking in the Amazon Rainforest, a biodiverse landscape with intact forests, clean water, and air, whose ebbing qualities of a healthy world are vital for our economies. I was intrigued that plants and animals barter in symbiotic relationships. Symbiotic relationships are helpful measures of an ecosystem's health. For example, large tracts of coral reefs are severely damaged or dead because of recent increases in ocean temperature due to climate change. The temperature increase induces coral to expel the algae that live within them. W...

Swings and Roundabouts. Watching the nightly news, Susie decided the country had gone  through "swings and roundabouts." The colonists fought the subsequent wars to gain their freedom from the British. After the French and Indian War for seven years, Great Britain made significant territorial gains in the colonies. Still, disputes over future frontier policy and paying for the War's expenses led to great discontent and the Boston Massacre. Britain tried to enforce the Stamp and Townshend Acts taxes on the colonists. The colonists p...

Submitted to Contest #120

Judith Robinson Back In the Day          Back in my day, things were a lot less complicated. We lived in a small town where when the sun came up, we rolled out of bed in our pajamas and ran downstairs. I can still smell the beautiful lilacs and peonies blooming in the yard. We started our day of playing, with our gang, and dog, who ran with us where ever we went. In those days dogs were allowed to roam free and if someone was bitten people accepted the blame. We played until sundown when the s...
