The boy is in Love
Once upon a time, in a quaint little town nestled between rolling hills and a meandering river, there lived a young boy named Oliver. He was an ordinary boy in most respects, with tousled brown hair and a smile that could light up even the gloomiest of days. But there was something extraordinary about Oliver, something that set him apart from his peers—he was in love.

Overcoming Spiritual Laziness:
1: Commit to Discipline To overcome spiritual laziness, make a deliberate choice to act on your spiritual desires. The Bible reminds us in James 1:22 (NIV): "Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says." Discipline is the key; commit to regular prayer, reading Scripture, and engaging in acts of service. As you do so consistently, it becomes easier over time to stay spiritually active and connected.

Driving: Dread or Freedom?
Driving is one of those things that can be a joy and or a nightmare, at times, to so many people. When i first learned to drive, i was excited and scared at the same time as i imagine most people are. You always have the nervous parent and the capable parent and who ends up driving you can have a significant affect on how you turn out as a driver, as many studies show.

Who is Paul Stewart?
Hey. So, this is my entry for Kayleigh Fraser's unofficial Get To Know Me Challenge for September. I feel like during my time publishing on Vocal I have given of myself quite a lot. Whether I am writing fiction, non-fiction, poetry, satire, horror or in the comments, there is always quite a lot of Paul Stewart in there. So people know about my accidental poet status, my love of music and film maybe, my family, my animals, my depression and anxiety and trying not to shy away from the fact that I am an incredibly flawed individual.

I'm Realizing I May Have Never Really Grown Up. Top Story - September 2023.
Fair warning, I am not an interesting person by any means. I usually struggle to come up with fun facts about myself whenever I'm introducing myself to a new group of people. But, I thought this was a fun prompt and hope it will help me with having some fun facts in my back pocket for the future.

This is the Prayer & Confession
Today, September 3rd, 2023, was a day of change in our home. I watched my adult son borrow my old truck to move more of his things to his first home, which will be entirely his own. Suddenly, the lyrics of Harry Chapin's song "Cats and the Cradle and the Silver Spoon" came to mind.

the priest: explanation and analysis
I just finished a story called 'the priest'. It's probably the most personal piece of fiction I've ever written. Regardless of who reads it, I wanted to explain the story a little bit and how it relates to me. I've never done this-- never analyzed a piece of my own fiction, and it feels silly, but it also feels kind of important? Like talking about myself might deepen any readers' understanding of it. Like writing this will get some things off my chest.
