Calvin Coolidge

The support group is chosen by the client and can be family, friends, or entire communities. Supporters can be imaginary, too . . . think of the cartoon characters Calvin and Hobbes. Hobbes is recruited to deal with all kinds of problems that Calvin externalizes. The support group believes in the preferred story and helps to create this “new” reality for the client. An important process in narrative therapy is externalizing. In externalizing,…

The verse that I chose for my history of interpretation is Romans 9:6-16. This verse is significant in soteriology because it signifies that God is the only one that has the right to decide whom will be saved and whom will be damned. In other words, God saves individuals he thinks to deserve a place in his kingdom and perish people who do not deserve a place in heaven. This passage is also important because it teaches Christians about divine election, how individuals are predestined to salvation…

Since the beginning of the comic strip Calvin and Hobbles in 1985, I have been one of the great fans. The Calvin and Hobbles comic strip is about Calvin and Hobbes imaginative world. The book was first published in November 1985 and held a wide popularity until December 1995 when it was sent to the printing press. It has appeared in more than a decade and the readers have been delighted by its incorrigible twosome. Their adventures and conversations of the pair make the case one that is used…

I am enjoying the books and videos for the class. For my Session 2 topic, I chose to debate infant baptism. The topic was so interesting that I read three books. Before I knew it, I spent so much time reading that I left myself with only one day to write my paper. That was stressful, and I vowed never to do that again. Then I launched into the Session 3 readings on historical theology and once again, I became over-engrossed on the subject. I found myself, in this case surfing from website to…

In Psalm 149:3, the psalmist writes, “Let them praise His name with dancing and make music to Him with tambourine and harp.” This scripture verse encapsulates the overall sentiments of music found in the church and worship throughout history. Music, to both the historical and modern day church, is a vehicle used in worship to praise God and deepen the worship experience through corporate worship. Because of this, music in worship is viewed as a precious experience, a spiritual endeavour, and an…

Bradbury’s novel, Fahrenheit 451, portrays a society where all books are outlawed. If a book was found in someone’s house not only would the book be burned, but the house along with everything the person owned would be burned too. Montag knew this when he took the risk of hiding books, and in the end, that risk ended up costing him. Unfortunately, our society too is censoring books in which are considered “bad” by certain people. One of these books is A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle due…

The process of photosynthesis is composed of two phases: light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle. The first stage (light-dependent reactions) occurs in the thylakoid membrane, which absorbs light energy to create NADPH and a proton gradient used to power the synthesis of ATP. The latter occurs in the stroma, and results in carbon dioxide fixation. In this experiment, only the light-dependent reactions were studied. 2,6-dichlorophenol-indophenol (DCPIP) was used as an artificial…

Heroines In Literature A heroine is a women noted for courageous acts, she has special achievements, or personal qualities.

Madeleine L’Engle’s novel, “A Wrinkle in Time,” tells the story of Meg Murry, a young girl who is transported on an adventure through time and space. Meg is an awkward,…

Before the Great Awakening, Theodorus Jacobus Frelinghuysen, a German pastor’s son, born on November 6, 1692 in Lingen, Germany answered the call to theology. Shortly thereafter, whether answering a call from God, or at the urging of the Reverend Sicco Tjady, Frelinghuysen came to America, because the Dutch population needed ministers,/ along with his wife Eva Terhune, a farmer 's daughter; and five sons that all entered the ministry, and two daughters that married clergymen./ Frelinghuysen’s…
