Possessions

Kardashian’s meltdown over a pair of earrings is a perfect example of materialism.

after their departure from Egypt God again spoke to Moses at Mount Sinai and said “Therefore, if you hearken to my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my special possession, dearer to me than all other people, though all the earth is mine” (77). What does God mean when he said “special possession”? I think the very word “possession” denotes something only God can really have.

The best label to describe the Middle Ages is the Age of Faith . This is because the church tried to make the world more peaceful, men gave up their possessions for god, and people gave a lot of money in order to build huge churches. The church tried to bring peace to the people. The only reason they thought they could do this was because they knew they had power. The church knew that people were so devoted to the church that they would do anything that the people of the church say. According to

My thinking is that for the most part the Tenth Amendment has out lived its usefulness. I am all in favor of local communities having a say in what their community looks like in regards to keeping certain business out of their community, such as liquor stores and the sex industry in its various forms. What I am not in favor of, and this will comprise many more than one issues - but I will keep it to one as instructed - is the penalties for and the differences in the criminal code.

Ever since getting a credit card, online shopping has become a bit of an unhealthy habit of mine. For hours, I could browse Amazon and Ebay, craving for an amazing, life-changing deal. Despite this initial desire to obtain new material objects like clothing and vinyl records, often the luster of the purchase and affection towards the items wears off quickly over time, creating another void for the online purchasing cycle to fill again.

can buy a gun. The second amendment gives us the right to bear arms not just in the state of Georgia but it gives us the right everywhere. Georgia also has a law about the possession of people with guns who was involved in a crime, minors with the possession of handguns, and possession of dangerous weapons and the possession of a firearm under the influence in the state.

the tale of a poor, young couple struggling to find the perfect Christmas gifts for each other using their very limited means. They each manage to get what they think is the perfect gift for the other, but only accomplish this by selling a prized possession which effectively makes the new gifts impractical. This bittersweet narrative, “The Gift of the Magi” by O. Henry, illustrates the moral idea that a person, motivated by nothing but love for another, can possess a willingness to give in a self-denying

There are three requirements for a lease- the estate must be of a duration permitted for a leasehold estate, there must be exclusive possession by the lessee and the grant must have correct formalities.
