What do you listen to when you turn on the radio? Is it country, is it rap, or is it rock? If you are one of those people that choose rock, then let's talk. There are so many legendary rock bands. There is Metallica, AC/DC, Aerosmith, and Black Sabbath that's just to me a few. There are also a few that have followed in their footsteps, like Avenged Sevenfold’s Synester Gates amazing guitar solos. Bring me the Horizon’s Jordan Fish playing piano, and Asking Alexandria’s Denis Stoff screaming in a…

old-time favorites who still mess with my mind are Cream and Pink Floyd. Watching Eric Clapton perform gave him an indelible mark in my music psyche that goes back a few decades. Then I can't finish this thought without mentioning Led Zeppelin, The Moody Blues and Black…

We came together with my father’s family, the Pogwizd’s, at (put the name of land here when you remember). (Name of land again) was like our little home away from home with it smelled of pine trees. Behind that lurked smoke from a distant bonfire up behind the house with freshly caught salmon grilling over the nearby flames. Cherries, huckleberries, and blackcaps coated the roads and hiking paths near the lake and everything vibrated with the buzz of hummingbirds and bees. My father brought his…

from a disorder can be applied to most people in the world? There are multiple disorders which people inaccurately diagnose someone as having because of the preconceived notions they have regarding that particular disease. Someone sees someone being moody one day and happy the next and he or she automatically says “Oh that person is bipolar”.

Should schools give in to the demand of later school days? Is it really for the benefit of the students, or benefits of their health? The answer is most students who “struggle” to get up want to put off school for as long as possible, or because they really want to stay up and reach that high score they’ve been yearning. While starting schools later in the day can provide the ability of not being late, it can cause many more problems, to the schedule you’ve been used to, than you think. Later…

Moody is dead. Don’t believe a word of it. I will be more alive than I am now. I will be in the presence of my Lord. Just before he died, during one of those brief moments of consciousness, he said, “I see the heavens open and the earth receding. I see the…

OVERVIEW: Huntington's disease (HD) is an inherited disorder that causes degeneration of brain cells, called neurons, in motor control regions of the brain, as well as other areas (NINDS, 2016). Huntington’s disease is caused by a mutation in the gene for a protein called huntingtin. The defect causes the cytosine, adenine, and guanine (CAG) building blocks of DNA to repeat many more times than is normal (NINDS, 2016). Huntington’s disease is a progressive brain disorder that causes…

In 2015, a group of New Testament scholars, Ben C. Blackwell, John K. Goodrich, and Jason Maston compiled a published book that presents the historical context of Romans through the literature that was present at the time of the composition of the Roman epistle, namely, the Second Temple Judaism era. Plenty of Bible scholars, such as John Piper, study the Bible by only using canonical Bible. Dr. Blackwell, Dr. Goodrich, and Dr. Maston, on the other hand, provided non-canonical literature to…

Kathryn Bigelow’s 1991 crime film ‘Point Break’ is a film that cleverly addresses the issues with toxic masculinity, new age masculinity and the effects these values land men in, when they allow themselves to be oppressed by the societal expectations that are attached to being a man. Whilst similarly questioning the values of what it means to be a woman. The opening sequence has a theme of running water which is frequently revisited within the film. When we first see Jonny, who is portrayed…
