My sister delivered her baby at 26 weeks, facing a long road ahead of them. Our

In 1994, a girl group named TLC released a song named Waterfalls. The song served as a warning, establishing a new character in each verse, and then having them jump into some pretty serious situations, all of which ended in disaster. The song’s message, is then summed up in the first line of the chorus, which reads, “Don’t go chasing waterfalls,” a metaphor that means not to get ahead of yourself and start something just because it looks appealing, as the man in the second verse did when he decided

A composer can create images dependant on the form of the language of texts to shape a responders understanding of the ideas and themes prompted by people and their experiences. The German film, ‘Run Lola Run’ written and directed by Tom Tykwer, focuses on the experiences of the protagonist Lola to explore the themes of the inevitable force of time, and the issue of freewill verses determinism.

Introduction D. A. Carson is research professor and teaches New Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and has written nearly fifty books on an extensive range of topics.

“Mother Tongue” by Amy Tan is an example of powerful family love that helps to overcome obstacles. According to Reinhold Niebuhr, “family life is too intimate to be preserved by the spirit of justice. It can be sustained by a spirit of love which goes beyond justice.” Therefore, a family is a large organism that needs to be nourished and maintained. “Mother Tongue” is a sentimental and emotional story about a great writer Amy Tan and her lovely mother who struggles from imperfect knowledge of the

Session VIII was about the Fruit of the Spirit, Gentleness. The objectives of this session were to examine ways to be gentle through the evaluation of humankind’s action, understand the gentleness of God’s Spirit, and the treatment of others with gentleness.
