“A Spirit Reborn” is a well-known article published by the New York Times and written by William Safire. This New York Times columnist has written everything from novels and newspaper articles, mainly focusing on current events and political views, even presidential speeches. His titles have ranged from TV and radio producer, a publicist, a speechwriter, along with others. As a result he has been given many opportunities to discuss a wide range of topics, earning him prizes and even being quoted in a campaign ad for Ronald Reagan. Since the New York Times Newspaper is open to the public, it can be assumed the targeted audience for this article is U.S. Citizens troubled by the terrorist attacks that took place on September, 11 2001.

In the past ten years, the nonstop discussion and stress has been over the question of homosexuality. Are homosexuals to be excluded from the community of faith? Article writers, Richard B. Hays and Walter Wink explain their perspective and answer the ongoing talk.

“The Spirit Catches You” by Anne Fadiman inspired two theoretical perspectives to be analyzed through a social worker’s lens, the psychodynamic perspective and the social constructionist perspective. Each viewpoint is significant when exploring the experiences Lia Lee, her family, and those members of the community whom became stakeholders faced when dealing with Lia’s fatal illness. Analyzing the psychodynamic perspective on a micro level and the social constructionist perspective on a macro level, provides a better understanding for working with clients that endure the complex cultural dilemmas faced in this story. Therefore, examining these perspectives can assist with developing one’s own interventions and evaluate the ones used.

Throughtout the later chapters of When The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down, Fadiman describes how the Homong play a large role in the population of Merced, but are not considered in the city’s day to day life. This brings to light the strong ties of their own community of the Homong. During this time of the book Lia has become more stable from when she had her major sezirue but the brain damage from her grand mal becomes more apparent. Lia’s father, Nao Kao, continuously uses the Homong medicine just as he has in the past which shows that he wants her health to return to a somewhat normal state. In his view he sees a contradicting image that occurs between the Western medicine preformed by the medical doctors versus the Homong traditional medicine practices.

‘Same Other Bodies’ involves Harper who is dead and is in the form of a ghost waiting for reincarnation from purgatory. Harper is found by Adam, another ghost who has been in purgatory a while, who explains reincarnation and how reincarnation is not all that great. The genre of Same Other Bodies is spiritual as it explores a spirits’ journey from life to death.

The Holy Spirit of God is the active force or power in one’s life, which most certainly includes spiritual formation (Pettit, 2008, p. 46). When Jesus was speaking with his disciples he made it clear – by using the analogy of a vine and branches – that apart from him they could do nothing (John 15:5). Only if one is connected to Christ will they have the ability to bear fruit and the way Jesus empowers those connected to him is through the Holy Spirt that that father will send in his name (John 14:26). The fact is that the triune God dwells in the Christian in and through the Holy Spirit. One sees this when they place multiple passages together to gain a full understanding of this concept. For example, Jesus made it clear that he and the father would come and make their home with the disciple (John 14:23). In 1 Corinthians 6:19 Paul reminds the Corinthians that their bodies are the very temple of God because the Holy Spirit dwells in them which is similar to what Jesus said would happen when he sent the Holy Spirit after his resurrection and ascension (John 14:17, 16:7).

Spirituality and religion hold different values and truths depending on your personal beliefs. Being religious is a belief or practice that contains certain values one should follow. When looking deeper into religion you can find spirituality which is the part of religion that effects our spirit and soul, it is not tangible. “The Sacred within” is spirituality and pertains to God dwelling inside of our heart and soul. When looking at “the sacred within” there are certain senses that we can tap into so, we may obtain that sort of spirituality. Through solitude, silence, imagination, and nature, we can have a better sense of spirituality.

Throughout the graphic novel “Level up” characteristics of the Human Spirit is shown in Dennis is very apparent. I believe that the quote “In an average game of Ghosts, I have everything, But why was I not happy?” shows Dennis’s development and his projections of the human spirit/ Dennis thought about this after his previous patient thanked him for saving his life. This shows that Dennis questioning his internal conflict between passion and While I was reading the book, I felt frustrated for Dennis’s decisions. He made many choice purely based on his rash decisions or peer pressures. But this quote shows that Dennis is dynamic, because Dennis is no longer using destiny or passion as an excuse to his decision. He is now looking everything at

Summary of Method –  I chose to research The Four Spiritual Laws the “Intellectual” method, this method is a way to help bring the Good News to the un-believers. Paul used this method when he spoke to the people in Athens, when he spoke he was telling them how to have a relationship with Jesus Christ. We can and should use the “Intellectual” method it can help you start a conversation. One way you can start a conversation with a non-believer is by asking have they heard about The Four Spiritual Laws.

and wealthier social orders improving at abstaining from, controlling, or minimizing such issues. Then again, maybe varying levels of therapeutic care in various social orders may make some of these issues littler in a few districts and more affirmed in others. It would be fairly amazing, be that as it may, on the off chance that one and a similar variable was observed to be firmly connected with better and more awful results for all of such issue regions. But it now gives the idea that there really is one variable that is all the more exceedingly connected with poor social results by and large than is whatever other single element that has been analysed. That one key variable ends up being the measure of salary imbalance existing among the individuals from a social gathering, i.e.

Anne Bradstreet’s poem “The Flesh and the Spirit” shows us the duality of man that her audience was having to deal with at the spiritual level. While this poem was written back in 1643 it still shows us as Christians what we have come from and how easy it would be to go back to a life of the “flesh”. This poem also goes about giving us details about what we should be striving for and what we have to look forward to if we strive toward the real or ultimate goals or rather possessions.
