As we examine the heroes of the faith outlined for us in the Old Testament, we would be hard pressed to find a more faithful man that King David. After the death of King Saul, David became the King of the Hebrew people. David, who was meek and pious, steadfastly believed in the true God and tried to do His will. He had endured much persecution from Saul and other enemies but did not become bitter, did not lift his hand against Saul, as he was the Lord’s anointed, but placed all his hope in God, and the Lord delivered him from all his enemies.

“Joyas Voladoras,” written by Brian Doyle, is a thought provoking text. It focuses on hummingbird hearts, whale hearts, and human emotions. Brian Doyle is a writer that wrote books such as The Wet Engine: Exploring the Mad Miracle of the Heart, which “Joyas Voladoras” is a segment of. His son, Liam, was born with a missing chamber in his heart, which most likely prompted him to write this text. Most of his book is about the doctor that saved his son’s life. In the text, the underlying message he is sending us is that even if we, by nature, are limited to a short life, we should live to be the best we can be, live up to our full potential.

A conversation with the police whom Rios claimed told him they wanted the gangs to kill each other off made him seek answers to the prevalence of violence that plagues his community.

Luis Jimenez’s piece titled El Buen Pastor (The Good Shepherd) from the Winthrop Rockefeller Gallery represents the react against the seminal post-war American movement. The works of art were chosen by a Contemporary and Modern collection created during the past century. The commonality amongst the works of art that lead to them being displayed together was the abstract expressionism; all the paintings reacted against the seminal post-war American movement.

The piece’s present location is the Arkansas Arts Center, and its original location is the Lawrence Lithography Workshop in Saint Louis, Missouri. The piece is water color and crayon on paper, and it can only be seen from one side by looking up because it is hanging on the wall. The subject of the work of art by Jiménez is a young man tending his goats

David unfortunately learned his core beliefs at an early age. He walked in, after playing with friends, to see his only father dead on the floor. In that moment, David learned that life wasn’t fair, he was powerless, and most of all, he was not safe (Beck & Beck, 2011). Later down the road, the client realized the guilt and shame he had tucked inside him. The client realized that days before his father’s passing, he shouted “I wish you were dead.” According to the client, those were the last words he ever spoke to his father. Other core beliefs began to form and strengthen as he grew older, David’s attitude was to push forward through these obstacles as best as he could and these obstacles led him to anger and hurting others when they hurt him. A pattern of fighting, law breaking, and giving up followed him through much of his pre-teen years. By this

If these examples aren’t enough to convince someone of Thomas King’s mistakes, the comparison to male characters might just do it. An article posted to The Atlantic titled It 's Frustratingly Rare to Find a Novel About Women That 's Not About Love by Kelsey McKinney has a tag line that perfectly sums this point: “Literary girls don 't take road-trips to find themselves; they take trips to find men”. There is no better way to explain exactly what happens in King’s novel. Lionel goes on his journey of self discovery throughout the novel, deciding if he should go back to university, if he should quit working at Bill Bursum’s shop, etc. Charlie thinks back on his past with his father, and Eli relives his life from moving out of the reservation to coming back, and leaving a life behind. Though their stories may have some hints of love, and of women whom they wish to be with or perhaps wish to get away from, their journeys of self discovery are rooted internally for the most part. They are about how they feel, and who they have come to be, their identity as indigenous Canadians. Meanwhile, Latisha and Alberta are stuck recovering from past relationships with men. They are trying to navigate in a world built for men and establish their identities as independent women. Notice now, how one group’s identity has nothing to do with their gender, and notice how that is not the women.

In the novella “Down the Rabbit Hole” by Pablo Juan Villalobos, the story revolves around the concept of innocence. What makes this novella different from other literature that discuss innocence is that the main character Tochtli does not actual move from innocence to experience but rather stays innocent but as the audience reads on they figure out that tochtli has moved further and further away from pure innocence. In the beginning of the novella in the short notes ahead innocence is explained in the context of the novella as being incomprehension. This is a theme that is revealed throughout the entirety of the novella. The novella Down the rabbit hole sets the scene inside a palace of a later understood drug lord, who is the father of tochtli, the main character. Tochtli is only seven and therefor does not have an exact grip on what is happening around him. Juan pablo Villalobos however reveals information in such a way that the truth escapes the innocent mind of tochtli but screams out to the readers.

In general, self-forgiveness is identified by a common ability to exhibit self-respect in spite of the acceptance of wrong-doing (Hall, J., Fincham, D., 2005). I never considered the distinction between interpersonal forgiveness and intrapersonal forgiveness. While they share many similarities, there is even greater evidence of the differences between the two. One significant difference involves the consequences of withholding forgiveness from self. It is likely that intrapersonal unforgiveness can be much more detrimental than interpersonal. Hall & Fincham state “ Self-forgiveness often entails a resolution to change” (2005). It is this process of acceptance of one’s own imperfections and sinful nature that catapults a desire for self-improvement and growth. This is a critical component of healing the soul and beginning the journey to spiritual and mental health. Also enlightening was the declaration that one can experience pseudo self forgiveness by failing to acknowledge any wrong doing and convincing him/herself that they are without fault. Finally, I was struck by the notion that self-forgiveness will typically

Asking for forgiveness and forgiving to many is the hardest thing to do but we must remember in the book of Matthew (18:21-22) Peter said to the Lord: “Lord if another member of the church sins against me, how often should I forgive? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “Not seven times, but, I tell you, seventy-seven times.” In this paper, the chosen case study will give the reader a better understanding of what forgiveness is to Jesus. Forgiveness is a big part of the Bible and if Jesus forgives us of our sins we too must learn to be as forgiving as him.

Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra is the story of a Christian “knight,” don Quixote, and his trustworthy “squire,” Sancho Panza, and their adventures around Spain. “Thus, I travel about this wilderness and these unpopulated areas seeking adventures, and I’m committed to offering my arm and my person in any perilous adventure that comes my way to help the weak and needy.” (p. 97-98) Our story takes place in the seventeenth century in La Mancha, south-central Spain.
