Personal Narrative: The Legacy Of Judaism

To begin, this is my worldview and how I view the world. I do not believe in labels because it hinders a person from their full capability. I do believe in the understanding a person not just by their appearance but by who they are personally and behavior. Anyone can appear appealing and charismatic, but only a true follower of Christ has like a special glow about them, which is rare in my world. I have learned that it does not matter what denomination, ethnicity or upbringing a person comes from as long as they know The Gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus has done miraculous things in the past and in the present. Since I am on this Earth until I either die an earthly death or Jesus comes back, I try to live my life to the fullest.

I became a Christian in 1982 while in high school. I had never attended church prior to Easter 1982. I found something interesting in the whole of the service and decided to read a Bible. The Bible made some sense to me. I had a few questions about some of the stuff that had happened and was given Evidence that Demands a Verdict by Josh McDowell. Well that answered most of my questions. I was also given Mere Christianity which answered more questions. I felt convicted by the Holy Spirit and asked G-d to come into my life and forgive me of my sins.

Honestly, I didn’t think I would continue my Judaism much after my bar mitzvah. I went to a high school where I was the only one who was Jewish, and my Judaism was not embraced. I was introduced to the B’nai B’rith Youth Organization a Jewish organization that helps people find their Jewish identity and take part in leadership activities at the beginning of my junior year. By joining in my junior year there were already friendships created, and I was confused by the whole situation. The confusion would not last long because I was soon immersed in such an inclusive and accepting environment. Sure enough, due to my immediate ambition to make a difference in this organization, I was almost immediately elected to a chapter board position. From

Writing this Professional Project required some deep soul searching while deepening my spirituality to train the veterans of Tabernacle African Methodist Episcopal Church to become Disciples of Christ. Completing the nine training sessions will be beneficial for the congregation. A selection of a Steering Committee from the various boards within the church will assist me with the effectiveness of the Professional Project. Teaching the veterans about The Fruit of the Spirit will strengthen my spiritual walk with Christ as well. Each branch of the military has military core values and a comparison will be made with each Fruit of the Spirit during the training process. Presentations and workshops on The Fruit of the Spirit will undergird

Judaism is not being born into a Jewish home, but spending your life learning, teaching, and transmitting. The five books of the Torah teach the foundation to how the Jewish people evolved over years of prosperity. Following the books of Torah, and being a part of the Jewish faith requires several different rules, or commandments, to be followed. There are expectations to be met and a life time of traditions to be learned, for instance, the holidays and how to pray and recite prayers in a certain manner. These traditions can only be taught from doing and watching generations of loved ones partake in God’s will. For the past several months, I have experienced these traditions and teachings through the eyes of Orthodox Jews. An analysis of the

In late August 2015, I spoke with Corey over the phone about what needs to be done in order to facilitate a non-profit line of literature for the group. Calling him from my cellphone, I said to him halfway our phone call, “Corey, let it be assured that this idea of mine is a ‘kill two birds with one stone’ proposition, which has the potential to solve our group financing and publicity handicaps.” Then he responded to me by saying, “I honestly do think it is an interesting proposition and would like very much like to see what can be done to get Fire of the Spirit in a position where we can actually do just that. I want you to know that I really do value the hard work and determination which you bring to FOS. I really want to do whatever we can to make this new venture for Fire of the Spirit a reality but it is going to be a lot of work and I will need your help to make it possible.”

When it comes to my worldview, I feel pretty confident in what I know and what I stand for. I grew up in a Christian home, therefore I have been pretty consistent on what I believe in for my whole life. Some of the preceding questions really made me think though about what I really believe and how I am actually living. Although I know what my worldview is, it is not always easy to make sure that I am fully living it out.

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.

it was late, and my ears were still ringing from the scream-fest my mother decided to have with my dad.

One day back in the ‘80s. I’m at my desk working, and a little girl comes and climbs in my lap. Sweet, curious little girl. She’d asked a million questions about the phone I was answering, then looked at my pictures on my desk. I had pictures of my family in a frame, and in that frame I had a picture of Jesus. She pointed to those pictures, and asked who is that? I said, that’s my family. She said no, who is that man? I pointed to the picture of Jesus, and asked her are you talking about him? She said, “Yes”. I said that’s Jesus. Do you not know who he is, I asked? She answered, “No”. She asked if she could hold the picture. As she held it, she said “he looks like a nice man”.

I believe I am an example of leadership, scholarship, character, and service in my own life. Some of the activities I am in represent how I uphold the ideals throughout my day. With Golf Basketball and all the sports I am in, I uphold the leadership pillar as a guide my peers. In Aca-Deca and Quiz bowl, I demonstrate the pillar of scholarship. While volunteering my time at church events and the in friends program I exhibit the pillars of character and service.

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 have been a part of the Catholic religion since the day I was born. As a Catholic from birth, I believe in not only praying to God, but to many different saints and people in Heaven. There have been many times in my life and in my family’s lives where we needed to pray to a saint or a family member who has passed away. I do believe that hear my prayers and answer them. It plays a crucial role in the way I act, the decisions I make, and the people I hang out with. To begin with, it has changed the way I live my life, down to my view of the whole world, how I treat others, how I handle myself.

I live in a Christian home where both my parents are Christians and I have various family members who are also saved. Because I live in a Christian home, I've always gone to Church and Sunday school and grew up listing to the Bible. Thanks to my Christian background, I knew all about Jesus and that I needed to put my faith in Him. Yet, in spite of all that I knew of the Bible (which was very little) I wouldn't make the decision to follow Christ. At the time I thought getting saved was something I had to do when I was older. I didn't think I needed to get saved because I was young, I thought I could put it off until I was an adult.

Dear Diary, I will never forget the word Miami. My family and I went on vacation to Miami beach the car ride was 9 hours. Even doe I was tired from the trip I was really excited to see my family from chicago that had also come on vacation. I was wearing sweatpants a t shirt and my slippers which are super comfy. When I saw the kids and the teenagers i had a big smile on my face, after 5 minutes we started comparing each other to see who was the tallest of the group of kids I was which kind off made me the oldest I felt awesome. The really cool teenage girls which I love so much Mela and Katy had their nails done wearing the bikinis.after hanging out we all went out for lunch to n argentinian restaurant…so good. That afternoon
