The Integrity Scale - Scribbles By Ro
http://scribblesbyro.com/integrity-scale
8230;all things considered. Sean then told me that the other kids didn’t want Roberts to go, and that the mother who had volunteered to take them on this outing suggested they tell him a little fib. After he went home they could proceed with their plans. He begged, rationalizing that if it was the mother’s idea it wasn’t so wrong and that this was his chance. If Robert didn’t find out about it, he wasn’t being hurt. How would he know? Sean, I began, You know in your heart of hearts that lying to that boy...

8230;all things considered. I’m not sure, but when the period ended Canada had tied the game and ultimately won, 3-2 in overtime. I could certainly understand the crushing thunder of defeat in the hearts of the U.S. players, but I was sincerely embarrassed by their behavior, especially during the medal ceremony. Their disdain prevented them from even the most slight grace and dignity, all but one turning their faces away from the woman attempting to hang their silver medals upon them. Playing not to lose?

8230;all things considered. First published in the anthology, Miracle of Sons (Penguin Putnam, 2003). You know what makes me really sad, Mom? My stomach dropped as I was instantly sent into a deep sea of fear, frozen in the moment as the possibilities ran warp speed through my mind. Was the statement that I had dreaded for two years now about to hit home; how his little heart longed to be back in the same house with his father, together, the three of us? That he worried about his dad being lonely? And th...

8230;all things considered. Lay Down Your God-Guns; America Won. I appreciate that my long-time and dear friend, Tim, shared a piece from Time Magazine today on Facebook, as I’ve struggled to understand the intense demagoguery and proclaimed victim-hood of the Christian Right for nearly a decade now, especially on the issue of gay rights and my rights as a woman. Voting Republican and other failed culture war strategies are not going to save us now. Interesting that Dresher uses this term ‘orthodoxy’ fre...

8230;all things considered. My Affair With The Semicolon. My affair with the semicolon; sanctioned at last! OK, so you’re asking yourself, “Who gets giddy about such a thing? Along with our own voice and word style, every writer has their preference of structure. Some prefer the short, more direct sentence approach, and others, like me, write in a similar fashion to how we speak; an often long river of thought that attempts to explain and clarify, or even propose, if you will.

8230;all things considered. A Boy In Men’s Boots. As told to me by my dad; John E. Roberts, USS LANG 1942-1944. DP Moon was his name, a commodore of six to eight destroyers. He was a rather large man of six foot plus; a handsome man with a soft-spoken nature, but one in which full command was clearly his. Engaged in something far beyond my comprehension, like others, I mounted my courage with that of D.P. Moon. Men the likes of D.P. Moon (who was later promoted to Admiral and died in the battle o...Click...
