Although it has only been a couple of weeks since we lunched, it seems like a decade ago. I hope you have been well and whatever the decision was/is on the Acura will work out. During the past few weeks I cannot describe to you that I have accomplished anything substantial since I have seen you, but honestly I am okay with that. I have been listening to several pod casts that Amy directed me to that have been interesting, but I find it so much easier to listen to music than someone talking. I did listen to one Ted Talks on the Seven Deadly sins and laughed out loud when the speaker was describing that “Pride” was the worst of the sins because it blinds the individual and creates barriers to clear, forward thinking. I was so convinced that Darin was the best candidate that was interviewed. Hiring individuals who hide themselves is such a wicked process. …show more content…
Absorbing the outpouring of grief that has been shown for Prince since his death has been interesting, I doubt that he had any idea how many lives he touched and

To say my faith life has been completely revamped in the last year would be an understatement. I had views and ideas about faith that seem somewhat vile to me know with the experiences I’ve had. From just lectures to the retreats my spiritual side has gone from that of a holiday catholic to a Campus Ministry Student. From little things to big ethic topics I’ve changed in a multitude of ways, my Spiritual Autobiography looks like looks like someone else wrote it compared to any year before it. I think faith is one of the most important aspects of our life and it took me until last year to realize it.

We played a soccer game yesterday against Buhler, we beat them 5-1 our first win of the season. Unfortunately I got injured within like 5 minutes of the game, I sprained my ankle and it hurt really bad so I had to go out of the game for a little bit so the coach could wrap my ankle. After about 5 minutes of walking on it I started getting used to the pain. So the coach asked me if I was good to play, so I said yes. I ended up going back in with about 30 minutes left, so when I went back in coach put me as the striker which is the attacking position. Their team wasn’t so good so I ended up running a bunch because I’m fast and can produce chances. I got a couple of chances to score but didn’t get a goal, Juan Castillo got a goal and that basically ended the half. At half

My five Signature Themes are restorative, individualization, achiever, deliberative, and empathy. Although I'm a bit stubborn, I did not like the fact how a VERY long quiz tell me who I am but at the same time, It made me realize things about myself I never took into consideration. Every theme besides achiever seemed to be accurate. Im a little dubious on being an achiever because sometimes I'm lethargic and I dont live up to expectations. Out of the five Signature Themes, empathy and deliberative describes me the best. Being empathetic means that I have the ability to step into the shoes of another person, having the intention to understand their feelings and perspective. I can relate to their situation and help guide them through their
Brother Martins looked at me for a moment, and I could see in his eyes that he was going through the rehearsed words he likely pondered before our meeting. I waited some time in silence, and then he started pouring his feelings. He told me that he saw himself as a contemplative person, that many times he stopped, and thought profoundly about the reality around him. We discussed during that night his contemplative thoughts, and in the process, I saw much more than a public prosecutor that seemed determined to my eyes and not too much contemplative.
Religion never crept its way into my life like it has for others, i was never indoctrinated into the cult of religion not out of my own choice but because of the choice of my mother and father. Even though children have the freedom of choice to not believe in a deity it can be more difficult than putting a giraffe through the eye of a needle to not accept religion when your parents are so religious and they ram it down your throat until you can't breath anymore and promise the idea of you burning in hell as a threat even though pascal's wager is ridiculous and illogical but it still makes it so hard to not accept god not even out of fear of “god” but from the very real punishment of your parents.I however was given a choice and my parents never

I hope you had a good weekend. Just wanted to reach out to you and find out updates.
The date was September 11, 2001, and my son who was less than a year old and myself were heading into the city to go to the NYC Health Department. What started out as a very normal day didn't end up quite that way. I can still remember it as if it was yesterday, and the horrors that I saw left scars in my mind and has made me see the world a lot differently than I did on September 10th. There was now a fear of the unknown, a fear of strangers and of people who are different than me. However, as the years went on I've come to the realization that while there may be evil in the world, not everyone is evil and we're all humans with humanity. That humanity has led me to care for those who are less fortunate than I am. Those such as the refugees who are going through their own struggles and while I may think that my life may be rough at times, there are those who are going through a much more difficult time. I have a roof over my head, I have designer clothes in my closet and shoes on my feet. Food in abundance to eat and money to spend, and I take quite a lot
- When I was in grade 5, a dude competed with me in drawing guns and I was no doubt better than him. After that I realized drawing guns is much more fascinating than watching movies about superpowers. Then I started to be passionate about it.
"Freese. You ok?" Someone called out in slow motion. "Yeah" I shouted back. I wasn't ok. The room was spinning, I grabbed my face and laid on the ground. I got up; the room was still out of focus. I got to my feet and did the only thing you can do in a head trauma situation: try and walk it off. It turns out you cannot just "walk off" head injuries. Not only had my head slammed against my skull, causing the pressure in my head to rise, but life as I knew it was about to change forever.
My journey with God started in February of 1993, when I went to a ladies’ conference in Columbus, Texas. It was while the speaker was explaining that she knew there were some of us out in the audience, who felt guilty about something they had done in their past, and they did not feel that God could forgive them for it. But then she quoted from God’s word; “For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, not principalities, no things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Rom 8:38-39 NASB) The speaker continued on to say that all we need to do is
