The Gift of the Veil.
One day, my mother sent me over to get a package from Uncle Darnell. He lived on the other side of the apartment building we lived. When I got there, he was cutting a man’s hair. I got what I came for and left. As I was walking out the door, I heard the Lord saying, look up at the window. When I looked up, I saw a baby playing in the window, all I could see was his hands and head where he was pulling his up, I said to myself, I pray the baby is not trying to climb out of the window. I yelled up to the baby; I told him not to play in the window to go back; the baby lost his balance and flip over. As the baby was falling seem like it was in slow motion I was just standing there watching the baby fall once he hit

    Working on the Greek mask project was difficult because I wasn't sure how to begin and due to my lack of artistic talent. I was able to overcome my initial difficulties by looking at masks on Pinterest for inspiration. After, looking around I opted to go with the classic Greek "tragedy" mask and just add my own flare to it. The materials I used to create my mask were cardboard, paper, makeup, and leaves. To begin my creation I took a piece of cardboard and cut out the shape of a mask and two large eyes using a knife.…

A dear friend of mine recently experienced a conflict with another individual.…
