We lost the ability to be still, our capacity for idleness. They have lost the ability to be alone, their capacity for solitude. (The end of solitude, pg.4)

Upon our arrival we were met by Jerry Thompson, he stated to us that someone had stolen some hand tools and atv wheel and tires from his shop behind his residence. After speaking with Mr. Thompson Sgt. South and I went out to the outside of the shop under a covered parking area and found a yellow in color Can-Am atv on a motorcycle jack without the wheel and tires. After this Mr. Thompson showed us inside of the shop where a tall rolling tool box was and informed us that various hand tools such as socket sets, ratchets and electric impact drivers were taken from. Mr. Thompson also informed us that in the office area inside the shop was a change jar with approximately $20.00 in change was missing and a 30 pack of bud light was missing out of the refrigerator in the office area.

There are certain things that are in the control of the humans, at the same time there are several things, which are not under the human’s control. Thus, to persist a happy life, the humans are required to put an end their desire such that the satisfaction of

Here my thoughts stop and will not go any farther. All that meets me, all that floods over me are but feelings--greed of life, love of home, yearning for the blood, intoxication of deliverance." "aside. We will be superfluous even to ourselves, we will grow older, a few will adapt themselves, some others will merely submit, and most will be bewildered;--the years will pass by and in the end we shall fall into

Upon my arrival I spoke to Chris Holt, who stated that he had heard a truck door close and went outside to see what the noise was. Chris stated that when he walked outside he observed a County Road sign 4897 lying on his front porch. Chris then observed a white Chevrolet pickup possibly a 4wd with two kids in the back of the truck throwing two more County Road signs and a tripod to a transit into his yard. Chris tried to follow the pickup to get a possible tag number but was unable due to the high rate of speed the vehicle was traveling down the roadway. I advised Chris that I was going

With our company move it has come to my attention that Kitco and its employees will no longer be able to help make and serve the food for the annual Thanksgiving meal at the St. Benedict homeless shelter. It is with great sorrow that I must tell you this, for our company has come to enjoy our service for you and the homeless shelter.

We have received your kind gift on the 14th of this month. We were glad to hear from you and especially that God had saved the life of your husband, in the Battle of Vicksburg. I am always thankful for the preservation of my relatives. Specially during deadly conflict, where many, very brave men lost their lives. It is God’s mercy that my son and 3 grandsons were spared, and without even a slight wound on any of them.

This world was made for man, and man for the world as it is.”(Doc. 2)

As I began to mature, my desire to help others grew potent due to the new experiences that occurred in my life. I began to work at Discount Drug Mart during my sophomore year of high school, which introduced me to an abundance of diverse people. My store is located in inner Cleveland, in a neighborhood that is not the worst, but is certainly not the best. Being a cashier, I quickly discovered that well over 75% of the customers had an Ohio Direction Food Card, while perhaps roughly 25% of customers had a Women, Infants and Children Card. I realized that people of all races, cultures, and ages used both of these cards. I have worked at Drug Mart for about two and a half years now, resulting in me being on a friendly basis with a majority of the customers. From the old men who tell me about the time they served

My time spent at Community Harvest included a Thursday and a Friday where my first day spent there included packing bags full of food for senior citizens who would come to pick up their groceries throughout the day. Furthermore, each bag contained the same groceries which made this task fairly simple in comparison to my second day there. One my second day, I assisted those who were shopping for their groceries. Furthermore, I filled out forms which indicated how many pounds of food each person could take. My role was to keep track of 7-10 different shoppers at times while instructing them to what items they could take and how many pounds of those items. Senior citizens as well as those who are in an unfortunate situation benefitted from my actions due to the fact that I filled their bags with groceries and helped instruct people on what groceries they were allowed to

I was honored to partner with two local non-profits in our community to include The San Antonio Food Bank and Children’s Hunger Fund. My primary roles were to work collectively with other volunteers to fight hunger by delivering nutritious food to individuals and families in need. I helped package food and checked items for freshness. To ensure food was fresh I closely inventoried food for expiration dates, spoiled items and opened packages. Once food was inventoried, I then assisted with packaging items into boxes for delivery to those in need. I volunteered at the San Antonio Food Bank from May/19/2016 to Dec/1/2016 and the Children’s Hunger Fund for the month of April/2016.

The passage gives the analogy of carrying a spoon of oil around a castle. If we are tasked with not allowing any oil to drop from the spoon, we may become too focused and find ourselves ignoring the beauty and wonders surrounding the castle. However, when we become to focused on he wonders around the castle, we drop the oil from the spoon, defeating the purpose of carrying the spoon. We can apply this teaching to the world when we focus on our life goals. If we try to fulfill our desires while we appreciate what the world has too offer, we will feel joy and happiness. When we become infatuated with our goals and desires we tend to push aside wonders and reasons to be happy that the world has already given us, and vice versa. When we push aside the world’s wonder we may become discouraged when achieving our goals, because it may take too long to find happiness. Little reasons to be happy may encourage us to persist our pursuit to achieve goals and discover true happiness

“If someone lives a virtuous and morally worthy life, then no matter how advantages or disadvantages come to him (excluding those that are his fault), he will lack nothing needed for true happiness” (Balaam 25).
