It is easier to be any thing else but a man
Once again old men and women, so old that they use canes when they walk, will be sitting in the city squares. And the streets will again be full of boys and girls playing.(Zechariah 8:4-5)

When the baby, not the boy, not the man, Jesus was born, so many baby boys were killed in an effort to destroy him. Herod saw that the wise men had fooled him, and he was very angry. So he gave an order to kill all the baby boys in Bethlehem and the whole area around Bethlehem. Herod had learned from the wise men the time the baby was born. It was now two years from that time. So he said to kill all the boys who were two years old and younger. (Matthew 2:16) The noise of the wailing and crying for the dead was so loud that it could be heard in a nearby district.This is what the Lord …show more content…
Jesus grew up to be a man and He is the man our children must model, because for some it is easier to be anything than the warped, hollow distorted shell of the man his mother says left them. It is easier to be Jesus

It will be known as the faithful city, and the hill of the Lord Almighty will be called the sacred hill. 4 Once again old men and women, so old that they use canes when they walk, will be sitting in the city squares. 5 And the streets will again be full of boys and girls playing.
6 ?This may seem impossible to those of the nation who are now left, but it's not impossible for me. 7 I will rescue my people from the lands where they have been taken, 8 and will bring them back from east and west to live in Jerusalem. They will be my people, and I will be their God, ruling over them faithfully and justly.

In 2014, I attended the Hero's journey summer program in hope to discover myself and to become a better man. My father who has attended the program many of times introduced me to the foundation and thought I should give it a try under the Young Men’s program with 8 other teens from around the world. Nervous but also excited about discovering who I truly was and what brotherhood really meant I found myself becoming the best of friends with these guys for 7 days. During the trip I learned that in relationships it is not only about how much you have in common, but that you trust each other and can work together as one. I could not tell you those guys last name or their favorite video game but I can tell you that I knew they had my back no matter what.

What images come to mind as you reflect on your childhood? Playgrounds, blackboards, and soccer balls may be among the warmest of memories. Yet for many mermaids swim their thoughts, princesses get swept of their feet, and lions roar to their loyal place in the animal kingdom. There is no doubt that today’s entertainment has most of its touch using classical influences. Walt Disney has produced animated films that have captured the heart and imagination of audiences of all ages around the world through the magic of storytelling and imagery. Many of us appreciate the imagination and magic that Disney puts into its animations with out knowing they are based off of classical and traditional storylines

This is a topic that affects millions of people around the world and not only in America. Media bias is how journalists and news companies select and use information within mass media to promote a certain belief or to acquire monetary gains.

Our human nature that help us to solve problems and guarantees our survival makes us take a decision on whether something is beneficial for us or not. That is why we have believes. Humans are naturally biased toward certain believes, but when it comes to news that a are communicated to people they should presented in a factual way.

“The journey of the hero is about the courage to seek the depths; the image of creative rebirth; the eternal cycle of change within us; the uncanny discovery that the seeker is the mystery which the seeker seeks to know. The hero journey is a symbol that binds, in the original sense of the word, two distant ideas, and the spiritual quest of the ancients with the modern search for identity always the one, shape-shifting yet marvelously constant story that we find.” This journey will go with Duk-thul/Dirty skin.

Robert Baden-Powell, respected veteran of many wars, General for the British Army, founder of the scouting movement, and international spy? This question commonly surfaces when referring the Baden-Powell’s book, My Adventures as a Spy, in which he writes what is sometimes believed to be first-hand accounts of his actions involving international espionage for the British military during the time period from 1890 to 1893. He recalls many tasks assigned to him including the collection of data on foreign military emplacements throughout the Mediterranean counties and the French colony of Algeria. Issues begin to arise when you start digging in deeper and comparing his own personal diary to the accounts portrayed in My Adventures as a Spy. Many readers feel as though he glorified his involvement in international espionage prior to the start of World War One, during the 1890s. Were his accounts authentic, or were they simply just a work of adventurous fiction?
