one’s life God’s way look the same for everyone? Does it look the same for one person now and different for that same person five years from now? I do not believe there is a cookie cutter method for managing one’s life God’s way. Thankfully, God did not create us to be robots, but created us to make decisions. We choose whether or not to live our lives according to His Word. For those of us who choose to follow Him, our paths are not all the same. There may be principles that apply to one person

Describe In the United States today, the issue of life and death always tends to be one of the most heated and debated topics. Abortion tends to be the main topic of concern, but there is another issue that has been around for far longer, which is Physician-Assisted Suicide (PAS). PAS is where the physician helps a person kill himself or herself by prescribing a lethal dose of one or more medications. During PAS, a physician hands over the medication to take, but does not administer it. PAS should

Life can change in a blink of an eye. The ones you call your friends can turn on you. And going from one person’s ex to their murderer is all surreal. That’s what happened to 17-year-old Adnan Syed when he was convicted of murdering his ex-girlfriend Hae Min Lee. In 1999, just weeks after Lee’s body was found at a local park, Syed was sentenced to life in prison plus an additional thirty years on the charge of first-degree murder. The conviction all came down to the testimony of one eyewitness

It’s astonishing how one diagnosis can completely alter the life of a family. One day you’re looking to move into the fancy houses along the coast, and the next you’re forced to consider if you would be able to afford the same home with one income. When I was three years old my mom was diagnosed with uterine cancer. I was too young to know what was happening, but at the age of seven, when my mom was diagnosed for the second time, I began to notice a change in my family’s daily life. I was told not to

One of the most prominent perspectives on meaning in life is that of Frankl (1959, 1984). He describes meaning in life as having found a reason for living and a feeling or experience that one’s life is of significance. In Frankl’s view, meaning in life refers to a sense of being committed to, and fulfilling, a higher purpose in life. This purposefulness provides one with a reason for living (the term purpose is often used as a synonym for meaning). It makes life more than just a survival quest, but

commitment to education marks Dr. Safi’s life and works – and his father’s yearning to see his son succeed in life. Although he raised his son’s enthusiasm for education and taught him that school is important for success in life, he could not afford him to send his son to high school in Kabul, capital of Afghanistan due to their poverty. Dr. Safi recalls this episode in his memoir One Life: An Afghan Remembers (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 2012). One Life crosses between an inspirational

After reading Scott Korb's Life in One Year, many things were clear about the life of the Palestine people back in the first-century. Subjects like religion, where people lived, who they married, what their families were like, lives of the women, and how they survived in such times were discussed each in their own chapter through out this book. Reading this book was almost like having a backstage pass to the truth about how life was in the first-century in Palestine, seeing all the good and all the

Will ones surrounding affect his/her life? In an excerpt from the novel Contending Forces by Pauline Hopkins, she states that the surroundings of one do affect one’s life through her fabulous sentence: “And, after all, our surroundings influence our lives and characters as much as fate, destiny or any supernatural agency.” Portraying a similar meaning, in the novel The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien, he reveals how the Vietnam War in 1955 has impacted his life physically and virtually. Similarly

spiritual life. Similarly to The Mission of God’s People, obedience was portrayed as important. This is a recurring theme throughout “One Life”, that suggest reasons to live for God in accordance with his teachings. Chapter by chapter there are key concepts, like the parables, sex, vocation and commitment listed, to promote to the reader our mission on earth. This book is written in a way that sparked my interest and related topics on many present-day scenarios. What to consider if reading One Life is that

Everyday life is shaped by one force: music. Everyone listens to music every single day of their lives and, whether they realize it or not, it shapes their lives. Music affects people’s moods and interactions. People interested in different genres will also act differently because various genres have separate effects on people’s minds. Each genre has its own personality that it is generally related to, however not everyone who enjoys a specific genre is the stereotypical audience, such as a normally
