I bet at least once in everyone’s life their parents have told them not to talk to strangers, or not to trust people you don’t know. I followed these rules very well, except for last spring break when I went to Mexico. For some reason, I was open to meeting anyone and everyone on that resort. It was probably because I was with some of my best friends that I knew for over four years, so I was comfortable. I went down there with a group of about thirty people and stayed at a resort called the Great Parnassus. This resort looked like a huge skyscraper with a hollowed out inside, which was where all the restaurants and amenities were. The back side of the resort was connected to the beach where one could swim or relax by the ocean. In between the beach and the back of the resort were a couple of swimming pools, bars, and a buffet. It was an average resort, but what really made it special was the people. For some unknown reason, we blindly trusted the local Mexicans and some of the other tourists we met at the resort which ended up doing us more bad than good. Ever since that trip I haven’t been able to trust a stranger in another country. On the first night, we went out to the karaoke bar where we met the first group of interesting people on our trip. The bar was relatively small, probably a little smaller than the size of a tennis court with a couple pool tables and dining tables on one side, a dance floor on the other, and the bar ran along the back wall. We met a couple of
A saying i've kept to myself is to get back up when knocked down. This saying doesn’t just stand for getting up when literally knocked down but can keep a deeper meaning than what it says as for example being knocked down by a difficult obstacle to overcome and getting up to find a way to get past it and achieving it. Some people may not see this as something important but they don’t think about how getting up after knocked down can be something that can or would have been like a positive outcome into their life and how they are given two choices when knocked down which is to stay down or get back up and continue going forward.
As we close out the 43rd game of the season, the Phillies drop to 15-28. As the pitching woes continue, it's tough to look on the bright side. It's understandable for the fans to be anxious, but it's all apart of the rebuild. I'm here to tell you to R-E-L-A-X. The team is still incredibly young and in the process of getting back to October. Maikel Franco is struggling a bit at the plate. Picking up the slack in the lineup is Tommy Joseph, who has been on absolute tear through the month of May. Cesar Hernandez has cooled off a bit but still playing some good ball. What can't I say about Aaron Altherr? He's everything you can ask for right now and then some. One thing you can look forward to is one of the most exciting
What if you were destined to save your town, would you be heroic enough? What is a hero? Campbell’s Heroic Journey, The Hobbit, and story/ film explains. My idea of a hero is being a person who sacrifices themselves for others, and doesn't think people are less worthy than themselves. The Heroic Journey describes that anyone can be a hero, examples of that would be The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, which is a story about a group of men go on a death defying journey to save the town. The other story is How to Train Your Dragon is similar with other supernatural events. Such as dragons and bugs. Despite having similar heroes, The Hobbit had a stronger Heroic Journey because there were more obstacles.
I flew back to Manhattan right faultlessly after the university convocation, not even showing my face or clearing up my identity with Madison.
How I am like Odesseus is that I dont like to give up i like to try and do what i said i will do. Even though it took him 20 year he got to is wife after everything had happen. Me and him are really simular in will power and not wanting to give up what we want to do no matter what happens. Like now i am trying to lose weight which i have to be more healther. To prevent me from getting heart disease or being diabetic like the rest of my family. Even through heart break and depression and imsomnia i still power though the day.
In the morning, we go to Smiley's a restaurant near the hotel. They had pretty good food, but the attitude of our waitress did not feel "Smiley." We then find the water park inside our hotel, and
Our story begins as I am picked up from GMB. Keep in mind that in order to be hired by them you need to be in physical shape and no disabilities of any kind. So you're basically their toy. For example an assassination of someone very important.You are used to do their dirty work and in return you get nothing. Alright so as soon as I step out of my house i'm rushed by men in black suits. I am already well aware that it was GMB coming at me so as I am a highly trained for situation like this I fought back hoping I would make it out alive but as i'm thinking this I get hit in the back of the head and i'm out.
The Golden Age (also known as the Heroic Age, the Empowered Age, or the Caped Age) is a period in human history following the emergence of the world’s first empowered individual, Preceptor, on March 3, 2022, and the social and political changes that the existence of him and his ilk brought about. The term was drawn from classical Greek mythology, denoting an idyllic era of peace.
So, I sat down with my boss, who I have a great deal of respect for, and shared my struggles with deleting more than 80 percentage of my music. She looks at me intensively with her arms crossed. As I tell her the backstory that has led me here, I admited I know Holy Spirit is leading me in this direction. And, I was led to Acts 19:19. After reading Acts 19:19, enough said right? But, I'm still struggling with it. I know what I need to do, and I will do it, E-VEN-TUAL-LYYY. BUT! BUT! BUT!
I grimaced as the fresh sound of thundering rain was captured by my sensitive ears. I slightly turned my head towards the small window on my right and watched the coal black clouds weep their tears onto our world. I lightly chuckled, realizing how I depressing I sounded. I guess I have never really associated rain with anything happy. How could I? Rain is literally like a never ending cycle of tears crashing down from the vast sky. Suddenly, the ear bursting rumble of thunder brought me back from my endless thoughts, and I immediately sighed before I went back to doing pointless more graphs for math homework.
After creating humans God wanted to partner with them to work creating a perfect world. But yet, humanity as a whole rejected this partnership and turned away from God. God then set apart a smaller nation, Israel to form a partnership or a covenant with him. God makes promises to them, in return the Israelites have to live up to God's standards and accept the terms of the covenant. Besides being holy God asks the Israelites to be ambassadors representing God not only through holiness abut by also sharing the true God with the other nations who did not now. There are four main covenants God has made with the Israelites, and each can be found in the first four books or the Torah. He made one with Noah, Abraham, Israel as a whole
I’ve seen window seat passengers with their window shades pulled down during flight or take-off or landing – maybe cause of acrophobia or they value the opportunity of an uninterrupted sleep – when usually, they must remain open for situational awareness purposes in case of an emergency, but most importantly because “you’re sitting in a chair in the sky. You’re like a Greek myth right now,” as Louis C.K would put it.
Just beautiful. Simply to be awaken by a somewhat weird dream that leads you to a Bible verse. In my quest to understand it, I read the Book of the Bible that came into my spirit, which led me to several footnotes references and to one of the most beautiful Psalms written.
As I started this forum question I went on the internet and googled “Jesus”. Many of the same pictures appeared and this is where I questioned the idea of what Jesus really did look like. Everyone has their own beliefs on who Jesus is and what he did but overall for the most part to many he seems to look like the picture above. I believe that this picture of Jesus is accurate only because this is the picture that I grew up looking at. As a young girl the images of Jesus were always pictures of him looking like this. Many could disagree with me and state that he could possibly look different and I completely understand why they question what he looks like. If I was not raised by parents who taught me that this is what Jesus looks like, then
I believe the Christian traditions I most closely identify with would be the Reformed tradition as this was the denomination I was raised in. My parents were both members of the Reformed Church, but I never joined and looking back at the time when I could have I’m glad I didn’t. I have enjoy being able to explore the different teachings and questions that faith brings up over the last few years without feeling obligated to stand for the Reformed beliefs. This does not mean that I don’t hold those as true though. I never took a Confirmation or Catechism class which taught me doctrine, but when evaluating the main stances, the Reformed tradition holds I agree with them, to an extent. Human depravity, God’s sovereignty, and salvation by grace
