My Life: The True Testimony

all capital punishment cases don’t have DNA evidence, in fact many do not. It is terrifying to contemplate that whether a person lives or dies can be determined based on eyewitness testimony. The innocence Project researchers report that 73% of 239 convictions reversed because of DNA, were based on eyewitness testimony. The only effective way of using the death penalty is to ensure the certainty of guilt amongst the inmates on death row; which is inherently unrealistic or impossible. The injustice

and overall love for life and God. The message flashed across my screen in black and white, two colors that did not suit his exuberant personality in the least. “Daniel Crabbtree fell off a ladder, hit his head, and shattered his skull, yesterday. The doctors declared him brain dead this morning. The youth group will be holding a wake in his memory from five to seven, after church, tomorrow.” my phone enlightened me. The piece of plastic slid from my hands, while I traversed my new-found knowledge

LDS church by my grandparents. My dad always taught me that the LDS church was not true. He would tell me things like “all mormons are going to hell” and he would tell me it was a church based on lies. At such a young age this was very confusing for me, but I have always been a daddy’s girl so of course at one point I started to wonder if my dad was right. I wasn't able to be baptized at 8 because my dad would not allow it. When I was in 4th grade my mom, my sister, and I moved out of my grandparents

only for the smaller decisions/actions in life, like being certain about how to do question five on that math test. But for the larger decisions/actions, the ones that really matter, everyone should entertain their certainty with some doubt. I like to think that using that measure of doubt to rationalize my opinions and decisions stops me from saying or doing anything without knowledge of the potential consequences. For example, I was hanging out with my friends, and we started gossiping. Sooner

know, this is my last Sunday here with you for the next two years. I leave for the MTC on October 4th and will be serving in the California Ventura Mission. I am grateful for the opportunity I have to serve the Lord in this calling. I thank all of you who have taught me, and helped me to grow and prepare for my mission. It is a blessing to have learned from you. Thinking back on the day that I received my call in the mail, I don't remember exactly what I said as I held the envelope in my trembling hands

worship of the Lord, instructions on how to live a moral life, and for guidance. Most people are naturally curious about why the Bible was written and who it was written by. People wonder if we can trust the words of the Bible since God didn’t actually put pen to paper and write the book. The Bible was written by authors who were inspired to write by God. One question that a lot of people ask is how do we know the Bible whether or not the Bible is true and from God. What does it mean to say that the Bible

There is another argument against miracles, which has less to do with empirics and more to do with philosophy, namely the claim that miracles are impossible. No matter what I have accounted for above and no matter what we experience in life, there is no need to believe in miracles since they cannot happen, according to this view. It became popular during the so-called “enlightenment” in the 18th century minority world, and its main proponents were pantheists like Voltaire and deists like Thomas Jefferson

In my lifetime, I haven't read too many books, but there is a book, an old book, I've known for years filled with poetry, history, proverbs, letters, songs, testimonies, prophecies, and ways of living. A book shaped my character, crafted my mentality, and molded my lifestyle. And I still read it to this day. That treasure I hold so dear is called the Holy Bible. The Holy Bible is a collection of 66 books from ancient and modern texts written about Jewish history. The entire bible has been translated

strive to achieve my goals, becoming me sufficient qualified. By virtue of, in my pathway through at LASC I have received awards for my endeavors from both LASC and CalWORKs. I graduated with honors. I was highly recommended by Mr. Jonhel Barron, LASC Outreach and Recruitment, to join the program millennium momentum, so I was personally called by Mr. Jason L. Seward, Founder and CEO Millennium Momentum Foundation. I give the best of me and I'm able to jump any obstacle that gets in my way. I know that

for “defending n*ggers.” Later, when Scout questioned Atticus about this, he said that he was “simply defending a Negro—his name’s Tom Robinson” and that he was defending him “for a number of reasons… the main one is, if I didn’t I couldn’t hold up my head in town” (Lee, 100). The nobility of Atticus Finch is highlighted in this statement. To begin, he is shown to recognize a Negro as a
