    Everyone has different values in life that work for them. When I think of the values that were held in the past, I think of the “Love Comes Softly” series by Janette Oke that was made also into a movie. The series is based on values of Christ, family, love, respect, and honesty. I would have to say that these would be the values I live by on a daily basis. Each value plays a different role in life you can have one without the other, but when put together I feel it is a powerful combination. Christ

    A Dream Come True “Emma!” I woke up to my mom calling to me. “Yes,” I answered as I climbed out of my very messy, unmade bed and made small efforts to clean it up. “C’mon, we have to go!” my mom told me. “What? Where?” I asked, and then I remembered that today was the day we were going to Grandma’s house for the summer.

    What Dreams May Come Vincent Ward’s “What Dreams May Come” breathed brilliant life into the tragic story of a family pulled apart by death and the journey one man makes through heaven and even hell to save his soul mate, based from the book, What Dreams May Come by Richard Matheson. This movie is boldly beautiful and a rollercoaster of feelings that brings you to the emotional edge but sadly doesn’t quite get us all the way over. In the beginning of the movies, events occur rather quickly. Chris

    conflict resolution. When it comes to conflict resolution I would like to think that I fit a few categories rather than just one in particular. I mean, I soon will be teaching communications, so I would hope I am somewhat versatile at least. I know for certain that I don’t avoid conflict, and I can be extremely head strong and vocal. In my life, it has proven to be both a blessing and a curse. My concern with my inability to avoid a situation is that I might come off too strong. I have been
