The Pilgrimage

Have you ever been on a road trip? If so, you probably have traveled with some interesting people. Those people might have been your friends, family, or maybe even a complete stranger! Regardless of who you traveled with or where you were traveling to, there is usually someone or some people that are a ton more fun to travel with. Or those people are just people you want with you because they make you more comfortable or help you out better than anyone else ever could. Going on a long journey can be tough, but with Rachael Ray, Lebron James, and Tom Brady, my pilgrimage would be ideal. Rachael Ray is a phenomenal cook, therefore she would be the first person I picked to take on my pilgrimage. I mean if you just take a minute

I think that Lebron would bring a sense of humor and leadership to the group. Lebron James has proven over and over again that he can lead teams to championships. He is a phenomenal leader and makes the people around him better, he is what you would call a lifter. He is somebody that you definitely want on your team. To go along with his leadership qualities, Lebron is quite the character. When you see Lebron on TV he is always joking around with other teammates or just having fun with them, and that is just how people around the league talk about him. So I think that he would be great to have on a long journey because he would lighten the mood in the group while maintaining his leadership …show more content…
I think that Tom would be a great companion on a long journey. Tom, just like Lebron, has phenomenal leadership qualities. Tom Brady has won four lombardi trophies and might win a fifth this year. Tom is an excellent leader, he could have led the mighty army of three-hundred spartans into the persian army. I’m telling you, Brady is the real deal. Unlike Lebron, Tom is more of serious person. You won’t see him laughing and smiling most of the time. He will be all business all the time, and I really admire that about him. He has an unshakable confidence that rubs off on the subjects around him and it makes everybody feel like they’re going to win. He makes people winners, and that is the definition of a great leader. I really think that Lebron would compliment Tom perfectly. I think they could almost “Co-Captain” the expedition, and it would all work out perfectly.
To conclude, I definitely think that the three people mentioned above would be the perfect candidates to take on a pilgrimage with me. They are all loyal people who will do what is best for the group no matter what. Which is something that is almost mandatory in a situation like this. You want people in the group that will sacrifice and always see the bigger picture. People who will look outside the box to better the

    Righteous B and His Ministry of Dirty Vagabonds There are many people who have made an impact when it comes to Youth Ministry. Pope John Paul II comes to mind when thinking about leaders in youth outreach, but I always think of someone who works on a much smaller scale. Someone who affected my life personally when it came to my religion. I always think of the Catholic youth minister and rapper Bob Lesnefsky aka Righteous B. With his wife, and a large number of young missionaries Righteous B spreads Gods word across the country.

    What he did through basically both of his careers in the Nba and in the ABA is win. He is only one of the very few players in the history of basketball to say that he gave all he had each and every game. His efforts to prevail and never give up made him a great basketball player and a great man. This type of grittiness is what I want to apply to my own style of play. He has inspired me to become a person who will never give up.…

    Everyone has a hero, either it's their mom, dad, family member, or whoever it maybe. A hero to me is someone who drives you to do better and that can be anyone. Beowulf was the anglo- saxon’s hero because he was believed to be the man and the most powerful during his reign, my hero isn’t even a powerful fighter but he as strong and considered a king and that is Lebron James. To me he is a leader, very reliable, and will be unforgettable, and Beowulf and Lebron has a lot of similar traits During the Anglo-saxon period Beowulf was the king of the Geats. “I shall fulfill that purpose,prove myself with a proud deed or meet my death here in the mead-hall."…

    My belief, however, is that Michael Jordan is the greatest to play the game. I somewhat agree with Lebron being the best current day player, but he is nowhere near being considered the best ever over Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan should be considered the greatest player of all time because of the way he enhanced his teammates play, his stats/accomplishments can compare to any player, and he had very positive impact on the game.…

    Although they go into the Finals with a supposed 25 percent chance to win, no LeBron James-led team is an underdog. This is not the NBA Finals matchup of last year where James put the injury-riddled Cavs on his back and carried them throughout the series against the Warriors. Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love are healthy and playing some of their best basketball as of late, both averaging double-digit points this postseason. Instead of relying on their individual stars to go 1-on-5, Cleveland is playing together as one unit. James and the Cavs ranked fifth in defensive rebounding efficiency this season and should look to come into the series with an emphasis on rebounding the basketball.…

    On August 26, 2005, I gave my life to Christ, and it was the start of a whole new chapter of my journey. I still remember that night vividly in my head. The feelings of excitement, joy, and love were very tangible in my heart. My mom and dad were both sitting beside me on my bed while I was told the importance of this decision and how my life would never be the same. Even at 5 years old, I was aware of my decision to follow Jesus and accept him into my heart.…
