Chosen people

learned about how the Jews were the “chosen” people of God. They were a special group of people who lived in a very exclusive and close-knit community and learning about Kashrut has just restated the same idea. Eating is something that one does every day every week. Whenever they are eating food Jewish people are reminded by the Kashrut that they are the chosen people of God (My Jewish Learning “Kashrut 101”). Being Jewish makes one enter an exclusive group of people. Eating out at a non-jewish…

Ariel Yaakov, in the book, Evangelizing the Chosen People: Missions to the Jews in America, 1880-2000, does an excellent job of capturing the emotional component of the struggle between those resistant to Jewish evangelism and those who are perpetuating Jewish evangelism. The Jewish fear of losing identity, being annihilated or assimilated continues to move me, not from a place of pity, but from an understanding that this innate reaction reveals an internal reverence and acknowledgement that…

Anything that comes in can’t get out unless the chosen one finds another locked door down this hallway and unlocks it,” said the door. Jimmy and Jamie went off in search of the other locked door. They went a long way down checking both sides of the hallway searching for the right door. Before they new…

“Haunted Courthouses” By: John G. Browning With the Halloween season approaching, perhaps we should add “courthouse” to the pantheon of traditional scary places. No, not because courthouses can induce bad memories for those who didn’t prevail in their quest for justice.

It was a beautiful day without a cloud in sight. However, people of small suburban town where hidden inside the large assembly hall. The town was quiet except for the buzzing of the electricity cables hanging above the small but empty sidewalks. Pete Steere had arrived early to make sure he would get a good view of the ever so famous brown leather book. The hall was filling up quickly and he heard the whispers and whimpers of the people arriving and taking seat. On the stage laid a large column…

mom and dad it’s me Wounmee, I know it has been a while, but I just wanted to write to you about how my time here in New England. I moved here because I didn’t like the Protestant church is back home. When I was in England I heard about a group of people who called themselves the Puritans. They were a group who also believed that the Protestant Church was not complete and was corrupt just like the Catholics. The Puritans wanted to clean up the church and society, and believed that they could…

Identity Reflects Significant Traits One of the most common questions that people ask when they meet you for the first time is about your identity. Identity sometimes can be misleading because the personality itself does not necessarily reflect who you are. In fact, identity is more than a name, religion, race, or ethnicity; it is something that tells you who you are and to where you belong. When it comes to identify myself as a Muslim in the middle of a homogeneous group that is entirely…

involves socialising wether its playing with friends or with unfamiliar people on servers which makes it more interesting. I tend to play multiplayer a lot more than single player which shows I'd prefer to play with people than alone but even single player can get you through boredom. I'd say what's keeping my passion for Minecraft would be the massive community keeping Minecraft strong and constantly adding new features so people don't lose interest. What has motivated you to…
