6 Thinking Hats Personal Narrative

“GOD’S NOT DEAD HE’S SURELY ALIVE!”, I sing along with my church. I go to Mission Community Church where we say, “Do justice. Love mercy. Walk humbly,” based off of Micah 6:8 in the Bible. I have been at Mission for 2.5 years. The current Pastor, Joel Thomas, is not teaching straight from the Bible and is not clear on his teachings. He also focuses too much on grace. My family is contemplating whether or not to stay at Mission.

Rock point has services on Saturday afternoons and on Sunday mornings which give my family several different options to choose from. Rock Point also has a High School Ministry on Sundays at 6 PM, which is convenient because this church is close to my home and I would be able to go. Another positive aspect about this church is that they have a variety of missions. Some of the local missions consist of fire station meals, helping the homeless, and serving at senior centers. Rock Point also does many Global missions such as traveling to Basconcobe, Mexico and Malawi, Africa to teach the Word of the Bible and to help others connect to Jesus. Rock Point is committed to live out their motto “real people, real life” by developing a place where people are welcome while creating a friendly atmosphere. Rock Point has a purpose to guide people in a deep relationship with Jesus and to let people hear the message of Jesus and His Gospel. My family is looking for a church that does these exact things because we want to draw closer to Jesus and better understand the Word of the Bible. Rock Point, by far, is the ideal church for my family because it meets our expectations of what type of church we would like to

    “Shes coming back right?” a baffled 7 year old asks in response to the appalling news of her mother’s death. A vibrant imagination is accompanied by a crushing pain of reality that trails behind it ; I discovered this when I heard the words “no” . 10 years later, that conversation lingers in my head and holds not a cacophonous nor euphonious sound, but instead holds the neutral tone of reality, an alarm . As routine , at 6a.m., I hear a melodious alarm followed by the pitter-patter of my aunt who is getting ready for work.…

    While it is uncomfortable to acknowledge that some of us have an unearned advantage in life thanks to things that we have no control over; such as gender, race, skin color, sexual orientation, accent and even wealth, it is important to discuss to better ourselves. As much as we, as individuals can continue to acknowledge and recognize our privilege it is practically impossible to discard or refrain from benefiting from the advantageous perks of the privileges. 0However, as we are able to see this invisible advantage many deny we can use our privilege to help and speak out and against the societal constructs.

    When I assert “I am white” it means that I have never had to question who I am as a person based on my race. I have never had to question the way I was treated just based upon the color of my skin. This calls to the social construction of race. I hardly ever have to question my race because I am white. Those of other races often fight internal battles where they question, “Is the reason I was just treated this way attributed to my race?”…
