David and James began to walk towards David’s car. David looked at James and asked,” James is there anything else you need? “James just stood there staring into space. He stood there as if the weight of the whole world was on his shoulders. David placed his hand on James shoulders and they turned and exited the park. They began the long quiet walk to David’s Ford truck. They silently got into the truck and started the long drive towards Hano. David looked at James and attempted to make small talk with him. “So how large is Hano?” James looked him with a ghostly appearance. James looked at him, “It is a farming town, if Richard is correct, and it took a direct hit with that tornado, there will not be anything left. “ As James …show more content…
“ As David was pulling out, James tried to make the phone call once again, and there was a recording that stated that, “This call can’t be completed as dialed, please check the number and try your number once again.” James yelled in frustration, “Dam it stupid phone.” David began to ease his way onto the freeway, and they began their journey. Once again James pulled out his cell phone and dialed another number, his cousin, who lives on the east side of time. James said, “Hey it’s ringing.” Finally a voice came over the end. “Hello”, it said. James said,” Shelly is that you?” There was an amount of uncomfortable silence. Finally there was a faint voice on the other end, “James is that you?” James then said, “Yes Shelly it’s me. How bad is it there? “As James listened to what she said, tears began to weld up in his eyes. Finally he said, “I see, have you heard from Grandmother and Henry?” James said,” I understood,” and hung up. David looked at James and asked, “How bad is it?” James looked at David with tears in his eyes, and said,” Its gone the entire city took a direct hit and was destroyed. “David looked at him in disbelief. They quietly sat there as David continued the drive towards the destroyed city. Every few moments they were passed by emergency vehicles heading towards the city. In the distance they could see the black clouds ahead of them, what was
Throughout the history of the Bible, few words have had more controversy than the words, faith, works, and justification. James’ uses a powerful
The self entitled book written around 75 AD as the half-brother of Jesus himself, the book of Jude was written to correct false witnesses and teachings. Because of this, the book is only chapter. Heresay was a large problem at the time, given that correct information did not spread as easily as it does now. Jude talked frequently about true salvation Christ, as people had begun to distort and proclaim that they could get into heaven through just good deeds, but he addresses this in verses 24-25 saying "Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and

“yeah, yeah,’ smiled Abby. Abby was on her way. She was running a little late but it was okay Caleb would not care. Abby hopped into her black Mustang and headed for Caleb’s house. It was very stormy and hard to see much of the road. Abby drove very carefully. Caleb didn’t live more than fifteen miles away but to get to his house Abby still had to drive on the highway. After about fifteen minutes Marcus headed out in his mom’s car since Abby took the Mustang. The storm was getting worse now he then got a text. It was from Caleb and it said, “Are you guys coming?’ that scared Marcus. Abby should have almost been there. Marcus kept driving and was hoping Abby would make it. He looked down as he got another message but couldn’t open it until he passed the canyon. He drove past the canyon then looked at the text and it was from Caleb again. The text read, “Are you guys okay?’. This time Marcus replied, “Yes, Abby should be there any minute I will be there a little later.” It probably wasn’t the smartest idea for Marcus to be texting but he couldn’t help it he was way worried. Marcus was now driving really fast trying to get to Caleb’s. He would be able to see Abby along the road if she needed help or something. He drove and drove and couldn’t find her. Finally, he got to Caleb’s house. Abby still was not there. Marcus was freaking out. Caleb called him down. Then Marcus’ phone started ringing. “Hello” said Marcus. Caleb could hear Mrs.

Delving into the New Testament, many ideas come to mind: the apostles, the Church, and most importantly, the Galilean Rabbi names Jesus. During the first century CE, this rabbi’s teachings made an impact on the world so large, that today 2.5 billion individuals follow an off branch of Judaism. Currently, Christianity is the world’s largest religion, and therefore, the books that shaped its very foundation are viewed closely and thoroughly. Two such books, the Books of Mark and Matthew, both have played a significant role in shaping Christology through the ages. However, both books portrayal of the personage of Jesus differs, even though they follow generally the same general story, from the baptism of Jesus to the empty tomb. While Mark’s main
P.D James’ narrative logic in Children of Men shows a conflicted view of dictatorship in times of struggle and terrorist actions in response. James’ narrative logic seems to point to dictatorships being a necessary evil, but only acceptable to a point. The narrative does not seem to justify “terrorist” actions in response to a dictatorship, rather a lack of political apathy. James expresses these points through the use of characterization, perspective, and plot events.

Many people attribute modern psychology to psychologist such as Sigmund Freud, Ivan Pavlov, and B.F. Skinner. Though, they were a part of developing modern psychology, many forget to recognize important founders such as William James. According to King, Viney and Woody, James came from a family with a strict father, raised in tolerance. James and his father had many encounters because of their different views. They were a wealthy and cultured family. James attended Harvard, studying a broad spectrum of just about everything. He finally received his medical degree in 1869, but then became depressed and anxious about life. He was not fond of medicine and was then offered to teach a course in the Relations between Psychology and Physiology.
James was never good with words. His head always moved faster than his mouth. A conversation turned to short lived outrage by any ounce of discomfort. He lived with his grandmother on a small farm outside of his small town. His mother, dead from child birth, lives with them. He speaks to her and she often speaks back. James has few friends if any, though no one he trusts enough to apprise about his conversations with his mother.
V:1. Chapter continues the persecution of the early church. The chapter begins, “Now about that time.” This time refers to the famine described in verse 27 of chapter 11. This Herod is Herod Agrippa 1, the grandson of Herod the Great, who had all the baby boys in Bethlehem murdered in his attempt to kill the baby Jesus. Luke says Herod laid hands on some who belonged to the church in order to mistreat them. Why would Herod persecute the church? The people generally do not like the Herodian family. But, Herod has to maintain peace in his territory in order to achieve favor with Rome. On the other hand, he needs to win over the hearts of the Jewish people, so, he decides to persecute the Christians to convince them of his loyalty to the
The gospel writers of The Bible primarily portray Christianity as a universal religion and not a national religion. Still today, there exists a society that is thirsty for the goodness, mercy and truth that Jesus produces. The people of the early church faced many impossibilities and challenges that were not only overwhelming, but also unthinkable. The life-changing message of Christianity gave the early church hope that serving God was worthwhile. The message of Christ encouraged them to face their doubts and to put pressure on their faith, even if it meant losing their lives. There still exists today a society of people who are willing to give up their lives for the sake of the gospel of Christ. There are those who are willing to risk their lives in order to spread the gospel message. The early church was born as a result of the first century martyrs, in spite of emperors like Nero. They faced the challenge to allow transformation to take place regardless of the inevitable. Money and wealth no longer became important to them. However, serving God was the only thing that mattered to them and spreading the word about Jesus to allow it to change the lives of the people in their neighboring towns. Jews and Gentiles alike were delivered, and set

In an excerpt of “The Pupil” by Henry James, relationships are successfully intertwined and woven throughout the passage. With his excellent use of perspective and author’s tone, the connections between his cast are visually apparent to the readers. Moreover, James assigns each character –Pemberton, Morgan, and Mrs.Moreen- a personality that alludes to some sort of trouble or desire. All of them yearn for something, and through that they attempt to use and even profit from their contemporaries. These character traits combined with author’s point of view and general feel of the piece, collect to create a complex situation and
In William James " Lecture XX, Conclusions ", the author conveys that the nature of his universe is a spiritual place. The authors universe has many reference to God and religion. What makes his universe spiritual place? James discusses that the "visible world is part of a more spiritual universe from which it draws its chief significance". Which to me It means a place where people have the ability to practice religion if they choose to for happiness and a spiritual life. They are so many religion that a person may chose from and nice for people to have ability to practice a religion that fits their lifestyle and needs. However, it comes down to the individual person to choose what they feel is important and might not be religion, but something else they choose to believe
