I wanted to reach out the team today and go over the requirements for Secured Transactions and to be sure that all team members of the business are aware of what it is and how to create one.

While the Secured Transactions help both parties, we should be very cautious in entering any agreements that are not secured or have not been fully perfected and understand the risk associated.

In his book God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything, Christopher Hitchens dissects and criticizes the various claims of religions and the tragic events that have been caused by various religions. The title of the book sums up the arguments of Hitchens in this book in the fact that he makes many arguments of why “religion poisons everything.” The majority of the chapters in this book discuss why he believes religion to be a manmade notion that has led to more trouble than anything else in the world. Most of his focus is on the three Abrahamic religions of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism but he does fit in criticism of other religions as well. The topics he chooses to discuss range from the sketchy origins of Mormonism to the

There are variations within this also: Some say that this Personal God is one human being that is always there for everyone, others believe that He is a different being for each person.

Throughout the semester I have developed an understanding for the spiritual disciplines; silence, solitude, and Sabbath; which has taught me how to live an intention Christ-centered life. The disciplines have not only helped my personal daily life, but they have also helped me better understand Christ himself. I can, without a doubt, say that I know that God gave us the gifts of spiritual disciplines to help guide us in the crazy culture we live in. I have gained a new appreciation for the maker of our world as He has gone out of His way to love on us, and all He asks us in return to practice disciplines and grow closer to him. The disciplines have have taught me that seeking God is about more than just saying a prayer before bed. Instead, it is practicing the disciplines and seeing His faithfulness through the actions. My practice of silence has taught me that the world is a loud place full of so many distractions. This specific practice has helped me seek God, in a deep way, by committing to listening to him in silence rather than wondering why I could never here him in the midst of the crowds. My practice of solitude has become a sort of Bible study time for me. A time to be alone and remember all the good our King has done and will continue to do for us. My practice of Sabbath has helped me start of each week with a positive outlook. Surprisingly it has also given me a deeper understanding of academics as well as it forces me to get my homework done before my day of

The existence of God has long been a topic of debate. It is the ultimate topic of discussion, as everyone seems to have an opinion on it. I will look at the traditional arguments for the existence of God, the ones that have stood the test of time, and find out how convincing the arguments really are by looking at each one in turn, analysing the logic behind each argument, and finally looking at its criticisms and the responses to the criticisms.

Throughout a majority of history up to this present date, we have come to rely on science as a means of explanation behind the reasoning behind many things: mathematics, chemistry, physics, and biology. When regarding the subject of a greater entity or supreme being, the quote “Where science ends, religion begins” can be used to explain that there are things in which science cannot possibly hold the answer to, and the only reasonable explanation behind these things point to a greater being. Acquiring this newfound knowledge has altered my viewpoint on God, going on to strengthen my faith and belief in God now that I had been presented with scientific proof that God must have existed. There have been times throughout my life where curiosity had overcome me and I found myself asking whether or not God had actually existed, and now that I have been presented proof that he exists, all of my doubts have been washed away. There are three major areas in our universe that science cannot provide an explanation for, and can only be proven to be possible if a greater being had come into play. These topics included: the beginning of the universe, the design of the universe, and the complexity of our DNA.

"Haha, really random, I haven't seen you in so long, what made you think about me?"

Even though I could remember talking to God as a kid, when I was an adult and thought about talking to God, what came to my mind was: "Who are you to think that you can talk to God?" But the truth is, who am I not to? Who are YOU not to? When we think, "Who am I to talk to God?" we deny ourselves our Oneness with our Source. So even though the thought might arise, "who am I to think that I can talk to God?" it is just a thought. It 's just something that arises when you entertain the thought of connecting with Source.

The bible was written as an account of what many viewed that God had accomplished so his actions and words could be passed on for generations. Some believe it is a literary account and some believe it is a historical account. The word of God in the bible comes in many forms and is left up to interpretation by the reader. Some believe that the word of God should be the only word and should be strictly followed. Some believe that the words are meant as a guideline to help us through life. Whatever your belief is you can always seem to find the meaning behind your belief through the word of God in the Bible.

“Heavenly Father, I have been feeling overwhelmed and anxious lately; I feel like I have so much to do and not enough time or resources to get them done. I am facing situations that make me feel small and incapable. Today Lord, I humbly come to you and lay all my anxieties at your feet because I know you care for me. I claim that promise and hold it close to my heart. Father, I know that I cannot change anything in my life by being stressed and worried. So today I proclaim your peace that cannot be found in the world over my life. You Lord are the Prince of Peace and I call on the name of Jesus to cast out every spirit of anxiety, fear, and worry in my life. Your word says that you would keep in perfect peace if my mind is stayed on you and I trust in you. The next time I find myself getting overwhelmed by the stress of this world, I ask for the strength of your spirit to help me stay focused on you. I thank you Father because I know that your peace that surpasses all understanding will guard my heart and mind. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen.” About a month ago, this is the prayer that I found myself repeating over and over again each night. I have, and probably always will be a perfectionist and a chronic worrier. I stay constantly stressed out about any and everything. I don’t just worry about things in my own life, I even worry about things in my friend’s and family’s lives that they don’t even worry about themselves. I know that I put too much pressure on myself to have
