How much more typical can a Saturday night be? Some freshmen hanging out at 11:30pm, walking to festival foods for drinks, energy drinks of course, and simply messing around. There was three of us, me included, and we were thinking about getting another comrade to join us for the time being. This friend only lived a couple streets down from where were we were at the time, so we decided to call him and ask him if he wanted to hang out. Of course he said yes. During the short time walking it was the usual, bad jokes, talking about random stuff, nothing out of the ordinary. When we get to our friends steet we are only about three houses down, then a black jeep passes us slowly, the people in the passenger and driver seat look at us. Staring at them back with confused faces, the jeep just speeds off. My friends and I brush it off as nothing, maybe they were just wondering what some teens were doing out so late. None of us thought it was a big deal, so we were just joking about it saying they were going to kidnap and sell us, the regular reaction to those types of things Now on the sidewalk in front of my friends house, I call him to let him know we are here. Just around the block, behind us on the back of the street we hear the sound of that jeep, its unmistakable. If a vehicle could have bronchitis, that's what it sounded like, terrible and roaring, the average ‘ hey look how cool I am in my loud car’ type. The jeep stops at the back of the street for a while, then starts
On the morning of June 17, 2016, I woke up with a smile on my face like it was Christmas morning. I launched myself out of bed to take a quick shower before I was to meet my friends to leave for Daytona Florida. We planned this trip months ahead of time when we found out there was a truck meet on the weekend of June 18th and 19th. The truck meet we went to was where anyone who owned a pickup truck could come down to Daytona Florida and drive on the beach to get to mingle and entertain one another for the weekend. We met at a local gas station in Morgantown Kentucky at eight that morning. There was eleven of us total going on the trip, my father, Robbie Henderson, my friend Seth Gaskey and his father, Jimmy Gaskey, my
It is a typical chilly February evening, as I approach St. John’s University Parish on University Avenue. The air smells peachy and the sun is setting behind the bare wintry trees. I open up the glossy wooden door and step inside the Newman Center, where the Mountaineer Catholics host their weekly Mountaineer Catholic Night. College students are lined up for a delicious meal of chicken and biscuits. I quickly managed to get in line behind Mountaineer Catholic President, Nicole Hegele. Nicole is a sophomore engineering student who is thoroughly involved in planning the events of Mountaineer Catholic Night. Her weekly goals consist of finding members of the parish to provide a meal to hungry college students and schedule a guest speaker. “It takes a lot of time and effort to be so involved, but I feel that all of the members of our club and
Christians have been celebrating the Lord’s Supper for almost two thousand years. In this paper I will refer to the Lord’s Supper as an ordinance of the church. “An ordinance is an outward rite prescribed by Christ to be performed by His Church.” There are quite a few varying interpretations among the different churches on how the Lord’s Supper is to be practiced. I Corinthians 11:23-34 provides Christians with the scriptural meaning and reasons for observing the Lord’s Supper, also known as communion. Many consider the Lord’s Supper of little or no value and some consider the ordinance as more of a ritual. In some modern churches, preaching the Word is emphasized the most and communion is only observed once a month or
As we made our way further south, crossing over in to Georgia, we were greeted by droves of cars parked along the sides of the roads. People were enjoying the simple pleasure of whitewater rafting. However, when you are the one pulling a 35 ft RV maneuvering through those hair pin turns, trying to avoid the cars on both sides of the road, it doesn't seem like a pleasure; at least for the moment. Then, in the middle of dodging the cars on the side of the road, a van stopped right in front of us. No kidding, the van stopped in the middle of the lane on a blind curve to let their little boy go to the bathroom. However, as you can well image, there are no bathrooms! Seriously, traffic came to a complete halt in the Chattahoochee River National Park. We had to shake our head and laugh at that one, thankful that no one got hurt! It is at times like this you have to laugh and say, traveling the backroads is also an adventure!
I was pretty excited to go considering that I had been working all day so I said,” Yes I’m totally down to go investigate that sketchy place.”Cole picks me up from my house at approximately 7:30 right before it begins to be dark. As we keep driving it gets darker and darker. My friend Cole being a beginner at driving decides to take a random road that I specifically told him not to.Five minutes of driving on this sketchy road I exclaim,” Hey we should probably
Last weekend me and my friends went to Hillsboro to play laser tag. We walked off campus and from the very moment we got near the car it was expected that the guys would get first pick as to where they sat, because of how society places gender based norms upon us naturally we did not think twice as to ho this could have been a bad thing. We pile in and the car roars alive, we begin down the road and eventually come to a stoplight the driver(male 1) expresses a desire to race the car parked next to us, he puts the car in park and slowly revs the engine with his feet. Signaling a type of international code that exclaims, “ I can drive faster than you, let me prove it”. The other car does not acknowledge the invitation of battle. Our driver

The gps says “ arrived “ and we are ready for the turn up. As we are looking for a place to park we come to conclusion that there are not any because there were so many cars. There are cars that are beaten up badly. Some cars have no hoods , some cars rear-view mirror are hanging as if someone just drove by and took it off. Finally I spot the perfect place to park and I hear a deep voice yell at me and say “ You might want to park on up the curbs some more because these people around here can’t drive .” I look up and see it was tall lady directing me and thought it was hilarious but I still took her advice. My girls and I hop out the car and head walking down to the event. There was extremly loud music that you could hear even if you were
The party bus was late and it seemed like we were waiting for countless hours. In the meantime, people were just talking and hanging out, but you could feel anxiety of when the party bus was actually coming because the time it would be here kept on changing. At last, the party bus finally came and was ready to go. Once the people came outside to get on the bus, it was a shoving match to see who would get on the bus because the riders have become impatient. It was like the scene you see at stores Black Friday morning, the only difference was that the bus you got to get signed in. There was one point where the Residence Advisor for the building we were in yelled at us and told us to get the party bus away from the front of her building. So after the bus moved and everyone was able to get on, there was a celebration onboard. The ride over the was actually pretty smooth, most people were dancing, other people were just talking with one another. It was good time but then it was though an eeriness came on the bus like a draft. Someone had said that the party we were going to got shut down, mind you we were already on the road for about two hours. We didn’t believe it so we kept going on our way to the venue. Once we got near it, there was no way to get in, the police had the whole road blocked
I’m driving down Route 4 west and I see a black BMW M3, my favorite kind of car, fly past me while I'm doing 60mph. I finally reach the Forest Ave. exit. I see my buddy Max one car ahead of me so I changed lanes and pulled next to him to say “ hi Max.” he responded with “ look I got my license!” Max followed me into the dunkin parking lot so
[00:00:00] God's love of song that spans both testaments and all time and it is this that in Christ Jesus we receive a love letter written in human flesh and blood from God from the God who created the vast cosmos from the beginning and continues to sustain the universe. Even now God is not was God is a God of creating of creation and recreation. And this is good news. This is the good news that our God has not stayed stagnant because not inactive is not uncaring. Now you see God the God of all people all of created in creation is still God and God offers us newness and possibilities not just do Overdick but but fresh clean new lives. [48.4]
I entered into the worship service, unaware of what to expect. I was not familiar with this church, it was a non-denominational church, but the pastor had his roots in the A.M.E. Zion Church and branched out to establish his own church. I walked into the sanctuary prepared to participate in the Sunday School. I found a seat and readied myself to engage in some meaningful discussion. After sitting for several minutes, I asked one of the gentlemen who was standing at the front of the church if they had already started and where was the lesson coming from. He looked at his watch and indicated that he didn’t know if we had time for Sunday School. A puzzled look came over my face and I couldn’t help but express my confusion as I looked at
For this assignment, I decided to go to Campus House to see a nondenominational Christian church service. I wanted to go here because as a Catholic, I always wondered how church service for general Christians varied from that of Catholics. The ceremony took place in a room that looked like a theater. There was a stage with mics and music stands that was surrounded by folding chairs. The walls were adorned with black and white pictures of people and places. The atmosphere felt more like a speakeasy type theater than a religious place. The beginning of the ceremony consisted of a debrief on upcoming events within the week. After the announcement, the preacher announced that they were going to talk about the story of Jonah through acting out
