It was totally unexpected and it became one of the most destructive earthquakes ever to hit Japan. Thousands of men, women, little boys and little girls were killed. Thousands more were injured. Japan was not prepared for such a disaster. There was a shortage of medical supplies; they needed food, clothing and building materials.
And America, with a heart as big as her land, came to their rescue. Within hours ships loaded with medical supplies, food, clothing and shelter materials were on their way to Japan.
A few days later, the President of the United States received a telegram from Japan. It simply stated: “America, we will not forget”. Nevertheless, only a few short years later, on December 7, 1941, Japan had forgotten and they, the very ones who had promised they would never forget the kindness shown them, killed our soldiers by the hundreds at Pearl Harbor.
The Israelites promised “All that the Lord has spoken, we will do” (Exodus 19:8). God had freed them from the bondage of the Pharaoh in Egypt. By the hands of Moses and Aaron God led them out of Egypt and away from the slave masters. God had richly blessed the Children of Israel; nonetheless, they forgot Him.
Moses climbed upon Mount Sinai and remained there in the presence of God for forty-days. It was during that time that the Israelites demanded of Aaron: “Come make us gods that shall go before us; as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of
I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.” But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?” And God said, “I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain.” Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?” God said to Moses, “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.’” God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’ “This is my name forever, the name you shall call me from generation to generation. “Go, assemble the elders of Israel and say to

On December 7, 1941 Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii right before 8 am. The officers working that day had just woken up, having breakfast, and not expecting a thing.

All across the West, relocation notices were posted on April 30, 1942. All people of Japanese ancestry – including those with only 1/16th Japanese blood – were given one week to settle their affairs. Farmers desperately looked to neighbors to help take care of their crops, but like many Japanese-American business owners, they faced financial ruin. Families lost everything, forced to sell off homes, shops, furnishings, even the clothes they couldn’t carry with them, to buyers happy to snap them up for next to
Incidents In the Life of a Slave Girl By: Madelyn Klumb “Slavery is terrible for men; but it is far more terrible for women.” (Jacobs, p. 66) Slavery was never easy for both men or women.

The death penalty is known to many as being a capital punishment, where people on death row are sent by the state to be executed for committing a grave crime. In many way the death penalty is a very controversial topic simply because many consider it to be a cruel and unusual punishment inflicted on those who committed a severe crime. While many support the death penalty others seem to think that putting down criminals does no good because it teaches others nothing about bettering themselves and their lives. We are all human being who are not perfect what so ever, so that means we all make mistakes that we later look back to, regretting and it seem unfair in some cases to end someone’s life when they can take that experience and learn from
