1. “I no longer thought God was the creeks rising from the wood floor. I knew God was found in prayer, not in the sudden closing of the hallways door just as you stepped from the bathroom. But when I was a boy with squares of black space instead of baby teeth when the door closed with a sigh, I thought, that God. God made that happen.” (Page 2)

Boethius concluded from his characterization of an eternal god that God is like a bird flying over a man walking down the path, the bird can see where the man has been, where he is and where he is about to go all at once. This is a power that God is able to use due to him being outside of time, he can see everyone’s past present and future simultaneously. His knowledge is total however not causal.

Ironically, in my current position as a Payroll Specialist, I encounter change almost every day. Payroll processing always involves change and updates, which requires the staff to use whatever effective tools available to ensure that changes are continuously moving the team toward new innovations and implementations. Sometimes there is resistance, but for the most part, once the task are identified and the staff fully understand their roles, we begin with a conversation and work around the issues or concerns. There are instances when plans fail, or the outcome is not what we expected, but we come together as a team and analyze what went wrong and how come up with ideas as how we can we make the process better going forward.

Kevin Young’s “I am Trying to Break Your Heart” examines the dark and chaotic nature of trying to heal from emotional damage. Addressing a lover, the speaker uses twisted and macabre diction to describe the dark feelings that brew within him.

But through referencing the 2002 song “I am Trying to Break Your Heart” by Jeff Tweedy, Young clarifies his intent. The poem is meant to illustrate the chaotic and destructive nature of healing from emotional damage, showing how a love lost can leave an individual scarred and vengeful.

Everyone has a different opinion about every law, whether they believe it’s a triumph or a tragedy. We make laws because we believe that it will do one thing, help people. Even though every law has its ups and downs, to me Title IX is still a triumph. Every person deserves the equal protection in an educational environment.

This matters because although we cannot see God, he is there. It may seem as though God is far away when he sitting on his throne, but as Augustine states, “it is not a matter of spatial distance.” WE cannot see or feel the distance, although it is there, and while we are not physically standing with Him, God is holding us in His hands.

"For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that

Vast, all-knowing, creator, so much more. How do you define your God? The Father is so much more than human kind can grasp, therefor, being nearly impossible to fully define without using opinion and imagination. The knowledge of God is the largest piece of shared information among humans throughout time and space. I will explore my personal thoughts of God, humanity and Jesus, as well as reflect on Christian worldview.
