My name is William Potter, but you can call me Bill. I worked as a financial planner for 25 years, and I’m currently semi-retired. Prior to that, I was a center manager for U.P.S. in the Rocky Mountain region, living in Denver, Colorado Springs, Breckenridge, and Casper Wyoming. I moved to Tucson, Az. 33 years ago to be closer to my family and to learn from the best how to play handball. I’ve raised two boys who are now 32 and 33 years old. I’m currently a single parent raising my 9-year-old daughter and 6-year-old son. When younger, pursuing my aspirations and goals were most important, but now I’m more interested in helping my children and others achieve their dreams. I do my best to keep the kids busy with activities, spending time …show more content…
Even though I changed things for the better, there was still a cloud over my head and it was difficult to find peace. At the Y.M.C.A. where I had been working out was an attendant who always had a Bible opened. I had always been curious about the Bible, even though I didn’t doubt it was authentic, it was boring to me and read like a history book. I lacked the Spirit to lead, guide, and direct me through the Scriptures. He invited me to his church, and prior to the service we went into the prayer room where many were praying and I accepted Jesus as my personal savior. All bondage was immediately removed and the peace of God was in my life from that specific moment on. It’s a wonderful experience because I can always draw strength from that moment of transformation to cast out any doubt of Jesus being the Messiah. I became a Christian at 17 years old at a Charismatic, Pentecostal church in Denver, Co. called Faith Bible Chapel. While attending Faith Bible College I was involved in ministering to the homeless at the Salvation Army and inmates at the county jail (I’m currently an ordained minister with the Arizona Department of Corrections). After a divorce, I backslid which led me to spend years wandering in the wilderness. Six years ago, I recommitted myself to God’s will and calling on my life. 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, “if My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves
Loving and worshiping God began to be more and more part of my daily thinking, motives, actions, and decisions.
In my life I have never had any political enforcement or strict religious influence. My parents were very lenient when it came too political preaching. I was taught to be a caring and respectful individual. My political understanding and beliefs have been molded from my early political memories and socialization experiences. As a young adult I have always strived to become knowledgeable about political ideals mainly because I was never really taught to believe in something specific. I eventually was drawn towards many different social and political perspectives, which is how I came to a logical conclusion of how I view the world politically

Bill H.R 3923 follows the “American Ideals” those in Congress have sworn to follow. Equality for anyone is an important value most Americans believe in and bill H.R 3923, promotes equality and humane care for anyone regardless of where they came from and legal status. The bill is has a probable chance of becoming law because although it does cost Americans money, the humane treatment of people is an important American ideal. Congress will be able to see reports and statements from those who have been treated as less during their stay in an immigration detention center. Since Congress is more diverse and has an impactful number of Democrats and a few Republicans that have open-minded views on immigration and funds to support them, bill H.R 3923 have more support and move forward into a law. It may have some setbacks like the majority of the congress being republican and with the U.S currently having an Anti-Immigrant republican president, however, the involvement of interest groups being pro-immigrants, may be the push the bill needs to be enacted. The belief of the bill HR 3923 been enacted comes from the political views of Congress and the impact interest groups/general public can make on the opinions of the Senate/ representatives. The public and interest groups have a great impact on the choice of representatives/senate

The Court Security Amendment Act 2017, Bill 17, introduced in the 41st legislature of the Manitoba Assembly sought to amend the previous act. It granted more rights to the sheriffs and guards of the court. This bill allowed the security officers to conduct searches for liquor, illegal drugs and weapons.

They were also granted the rights to deny entry to the courthouse based on a reasonable suspicion for two reasons. Firstly, the person denied entry has declined the security screening for the prohibited items including weapons. Secondly, if the person has been screened and does a

Recently I sat down with my pastor to discuss my future in ministry. I had some very heavy things weighing on my heart. After laying them out, I stated that “I often feel like I don’t have the needed self-confidence to do this ministry thing” and that “I think that I’m going to need a very supportive pastor in order to survive my first pastorate.” It was there that he stopped me cold and made if very clear that I could not and should not enter into ministry with that mindset. I could not expect my self-confidence to come from other people. I had to seek that from God. In the moments to come, through some very introspective conversation, I realized that I had been approaching the entire idea of ministry from the wrong direction. Without realizing it I had made it a “strong on the outside” thing. I had completely avoided the true spiritual formation that needed to be occurring on the inside.
My journey on to my Christian faith began when I was born so I basically didn’t feel. I had a choice not to be a Christian but I never asked why am I a Christian because I felt as though being a child of god was the right way to go I felt as though that god would always be here for not just me but with everyone that needed him. My journey to Christ probably would have to be in the miracles that he have brought me through and I have seen. A long time ago my uncle basically overdosed and the doctors said that he was brain dead and that we should just cut the cord. I will never forget the hospital room filled with the people from my church praying out loud. As I was sitting in there I could feel the spiritual energy. It felt like my skin was crawling with adrenaline. The doctors took us back there to see him and when I saw him I was honestly scared I didn’t think he was going make it but he made it my mother told me when she went back there she saw a angel over him and she said that his wings filled the room. After that day my uncle began to get better when he got home he didn’t have any memory of any sort he had to start completely over we had to help him step by step. And now today my

For much of the past decade, Gates allocated both his profit and attention to philanthropy. Evidence of his innovation, industry and curiosity can be seen at an early age.
