highly religious painting that draws emphasis to the holy trinity (the symbol for christianity) that includes the father, the son, and the holy spirit. In the painting the father is seen at the very top. It looks as if he is looking directly at the observer of the painting which can be interpreted as his prestige and importance over all. The holy spirit is symbolized with a white dove that can be seen right below the father's head. The son is hanging on the cross which is the main emphasis of…
any way. In reading a certain paragraph in chapter 2, I must say I have a different perspective about nuns, I realize that I was quick to make an assumption based on a person religions rather than seeing that person for whom they are. It is important to consider here that even the person who is completely committed to a certain worldview, at times, may fall short of living in a way that exemplifies the values to which he or she truly holds. (Chapter 2). All humans are to be treated with…

powerful and important. I feel this is one of the most major connections we can have to God so that when you become a missionary and begin to teach his children we can have the spirit to be with us, because even though the missionaries are the ones out there teaching they aren't teaching alone, but rather being guided by the spirit, making up for all…
The feel First United Methodist was very church feeling. When you first walked in you immediately wanted to stand up straighter and make sure you looked your best. The people there were very homely and smiled and greeted you with open arms. This made me feel at home right away, unlike I thought it was going to be. When worship began it was like nothing I had expected to hear or see. The music that was played consisted of old hymns and some modern worship. But it was nothing compared to the high…
The Mission, directed by Roland Joffé, shows some of the challenges which the early Church faced. The Church at the time was seen as large world power but at the same time it struggled to maintain power and also its beliefs. The Churches conflict was displayed in Cardinal Altamirano’s decision to end the missions and allow slavery to continue in order to keep power(Joffé). The need for power conflicts with the idea spreading God’s word to the missions. Then Gabriel and Mendoza different…

As humans, we are often falsely and quickly adored by our outer beauty and appearance and this idea of beauty is constantly being somewhat demanded. We expose ourselves to this particular kind of madness, chasing after this idea of beauty. People crave so endlessly to be seen as beautiful to be elevated to a pedestal to be adorned. As David Horner stated in his book, “Mind Your Faith,” a worldview is defined as “the set of beliefs, attitudes and values that shapes the way we see the world and…
told differently. Yahweh made man from soil and breathed into him the breath of life. Yahweh also plants garden in Eden. Yahweh is more personified and close. Adam is also giving the task to name the animals, but none are suitable as a mate. Genesis 2:21-22 states “Then he took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh”. Yahweh builds a rib from the man into a woman and Bone from my bone flesh from my flesh. There is also more interaction with mankind with God’s other creations. The…
The mass of green rushed towards my face in a fast blur. Spikes of pain racked my body as I fought against the dark spots filling my vision. A blur of jerseys passed in front of my eyes. A maroon one grabbed me and pulled me to my feet. I opened my eyes and it hit me. It was all over. Four years of sweat and pain. Early mornings filled with searing lungs and aching legs. Early bedtimes and healthy foods in attempts to enhance performance. All of it over. Saturday, October 29, 2016. My team and…
