Improved Essays
This week has been a week of confinement first staying in so not to catch any colds or virus's going around to prepare for surgery and now due to the ice and weather conditions to stay in to keep from taking a chance of falling and injuring my incision....not to mention the soreness...whew! But I have to be honest in these times that we are sometimes slowed down and staying inside i look to these times as opportunities for MORE quiet time with our Lord...MORE bible reading and MORE study time...so I sometimes stow away for hours and wait for what God has for me in these times. One of my studies this week during confinement...lol...I found myself in the book of John 15:1-8
I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my

    Never to be Unstuck, Always to be Eaten Away at “Midway along the journey of our life / I woke up find myself in a dark wood, for I had wandered off from the straight path / How hard it is to tell what it was like, / this wood of wilderness, savage, and stubborn / (the thought of it brings back all my old fears) / a bitter place! Death could scarce be bitter” (1.1-6) In these very first lines of Inferno from the Divine Comedy by Dante, there is a foreshadowing of another dark wood to come ahead.…

    Truth is oftentimes glazed over or obscured by the sweet words of the manipulator, and the journey to discover it is painful when it challenges one’s mindset or morals. To those who have faith in truth, however, new information can be a savior shining a light onto the path of righteousness. In the play The Crucible, written by Arthur Miller, the eloquent lies of a single girl by the name of Abigail leads to full-blown witch trials where Reverend Hale is brought in to examine the markings of those tainted by the Devil. During his time spent in the ominous village of Salem, the lies exposed to him begin to upset his lifelong beliefs in the Bible and God.

    Thomas states that the tree will not set its frost-burnt leafage free. I think the tree moans in eldritch glee because it is aware that it is holding on to its leaves which is pleasing; however, the tree knows that it is weird to still have leaves during winter, so it fearfully moans. I would ask her to explain the last two lines of the sonnet because I found them difficult to decipher.…

    The Philosophy of Christian Education Philosophy and Education Philosophy is an academic discipline that exercises reason and logic in an attempt to understand reality and answer fundamental questions about knowledge, life, morality and human nature. 1 Philosophy may be viewed as a roadblock or as a tool in learning what our human purpose is. In Colossians 2:8, NIV, Paul states, “See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.” Teachers who have the correct understanding of philosophy can help students distinguish incorrect conclusions from those which can allow them access to a life of truth and fulfillment, in other…

    For this Body Biography I will be doing Oberon, The King of Fairies. As symbols for him I chose to use the Indian boy, a potion/liquor, and a storm. The reason behind going with the Indian boy is to show how demanding he is and how he’ll do anything for what he wants. I chose the potion/liquor because it represents his power, but also once again shows how he likes being in control of situations. The storm defines his stubbornness and inability to become content with what he has.…

    In William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, the moral corruption that occurs between family members causes animosity that results in their downfall, and eventually their ultimate demise. More specifically, the tainted view of an individual in a family may result in the downfall of the other family members involved. Evidence of tainted view of a family member causing undue harm can be found in the relationship between Hamlet and Claudius, Hamlet and Gertrude, and Hamlet and Old King Hamlet. The relationship between Hamlet and Claudius is problematic, largely due to the fact that they both wish death upon the other.…

    (Isaiah 28:9). We must grow into spiritual maturity by eating the meat of God’s Word and leaving the milk behind. In fact, in many churches, you not only get the milk bottle, but in many cases, it is sour milk. Many Christians and even preachers are exposed to those who know better, as we see them drinking the milk, teaching the milk, and choking on the meat when it comes to “precept must be upon precept.” Our reasoning for this is that if they did apply all the scriptures in the entire Bible to their doctrines and daily lives, it may just expose something they do not want exposed.…
