The Life of a MSP Airport Fire-Fighter I woke up after, what felt like, 4 hours of sleep. I regretted not going to bed at a decent hour the night before, because as soon as my alarm went off, I instantly wanted to hit the snooze button.

As I headed North on 35W, I arrived at the fire station, in Minneapolis, around 7:45 AM.

This is a daunting question and I have had to think long and hard about how I can answer it with examples of some of my best work. Throughout my professional life as an interpreter/guide/educator, a “site” is typically defined as the location of a significant event and an “event” is defined as an important, organized occurrence involving several people. This left me to determine what makes any particular organized event significant. The answer was simple - the event furthers the mission of my

The Apostle Paul wrote thirteen epistles, also called letters, that can be found in the New Testament (Demarest, 2018, no pg.). There has been some debate that the epistles of Ephesians, First Timothy, Second Timothy, Titus, Colossians and Second Thessalonians were pseudonymously written in Paul’s name, but that he was not the actual author. There seems to be discrepancies about the attitude that Paul conveyed towards women in the church between the letters known to be written by him, and the ones

A Hellenistic Jew, St Paul is known worldwide as one of the earliest Christian missionaries, along with Saint Peter and James the Just. He was also known as Paul the Apostle, the Apostle Paul and the Paul of Tarsus. However, he preferred to call himself 'Apostle to the Gentiles'. Paul had a broad outlook and was perhaps endowed as the most brilliant person to carry Christianity to varied lands, such as Cyprus, Asia Minor (modern Turkey), mainland Greece, Crete and Rome.

He conducted many persecutions of the early Christians and was present when St. Stephen was martyred. St. Paul lived a very unholy life until something would change his life and rethink everything he thought he knew about Christian religion. One day when Saul was about to go and arrest some Christians for preaching the good news of God, he saw a great big light in the sky

Church was the concept of the immortality of the soul, which led to prayers and offerings made to the dead.

Catholicism was the seedbed for the survival of the orishas. The Catholic Church allowed ethnic associations
