Aisle

Have you ever walked into a local grocery store, meandered through an aisle and thought, "Wow, I see this brand everywhere?" It's there at birthday parties, your grandma’s house, in the hand of that really rude neighborhood who plays drums all night and maybe in your own pantry. Imagine how much money and gratification its creator amasses. When did it become so popular? Or rather, how? A Classic Case In the early 1900s, Crisco was chemically crafted by candle maker William Procter and his…

In America, McDonald's has become the face of obesity, unhealthy living, and evil; however, to my family, McDonald's has not been a comfort food, but a comforting food. When we were alone and hungry in a foreign land, McDonald's was our faithful friend. When we landed at Shanghai Pudong International Airport, Shanghai, China, we were exhausted from the tedious 14-hour flight; all my family wanted was sustenance and sleep. Arriving to our new, empty apartment, we sadly found neither. All eight…

Reflections On A Would–Be Twenty-Fifth Anniversary The summer heat, oppressive and stifling shadowed our every move as we made our way into the church. What was I thinking getting married in mid-July? Beads of sweat gathering along my hairline merged, trickled down the sides of my face, dripping onto my neck. A recently acquired sinus infection, combined with the adrenaline surging through me, resulted in throbbing cheekbones and a short fuse … please, lets get this thing started! My sister…

have a slight headache. I went to Safeway as I needed to shop for some groceries. There are two entrances in the front of the building. The whole store is filled with aisles, making it very easy to navigate around the store. Access is not limited at all, you get the impression that you are supposed to explore inch of every aisles, lest you miss something important. I entered the left most entrance of Safeway after grabbing a cart outside of the entrance where I was able to see a Starbucks. I…

late for school. I hopped on my bike and pedaled down the street in my crocs and pajamas as fast as I could weaving in and out of the traffic. I finally arrived at famous footwear just as they were opening. The manager let me in and i browsed the aisles frantically because school started in 30 minutes. Now I only brought…

Going to an average convenience store is a weekly activity for many Americans. As we pass the cleaning aisle, the medication for headaches, and occasionally the mischievous peek at the beauty aisle, many of us aren’t thinking of how these products were produced, we’re busy thinking about how much we can spend without a family member or your bank getting mad at you. However, the thought of how these products come to be should perhaps be on more people’s minds. Every day on the news stories of…

My Writing Style Lacks Spontaneity The given assignment for today’s paper is for me to break down and attempt to describe the thoughts I put into my particular writing process. Additionally I have been tasked to include within the essay any additional thoughts and / or opinions I have about both the effectiveness of my writing as well as possible ways I may be able to improve upon it. Now while some would find this a simple task and have no problems simply sitting down, hammering away at the…

When I think of worship I think of lifting your hands high to the Heavens and singing with gusto out of reverence and love for the Lord and all that he has done. Whether I am in my car or at home, I make sure that I worship regularly. There are also other ways to worship as well besides singing (Psalm 100:1-2) and praise and thanksgiving (Ephesians 5:20). They include: dancing such as when King David was offering sacrifices to God when the Ark of the Covenant was brought to Jerusalem. 1 Samuel…

Reluctantly, he agrees, but he would leave as soon as the prayers begun. Sticking to his word, Louie barges down the aisle, but a voice stops him. He remembers his horrendous time trapped on a raft in the ocean, and recalls his own words to God, “If you save me, I will serve you forever”. Immediately, Louie dedicated his life to God. I consider this one of the best moments…
