Ditch

A long, deep, foreboding ditch ran along the side of the field, blocking anything from running onto the street. There was little time to figure out a solution, as their pursuers were only a few feet behind. In a split-second decision, the eldest traveler hoisted the other in the air, and flung the writhing body across the ditch. The body hit the ground with a thud before getting up and running down the street in search of safety. The eldest barely made it past the ditch, hitting the side with a…

A ditch, deep enough to hide the the base of the walls and protect them from enemy cannons, surrounded the entire fortress. A small trench filled with water and with a wooden palisade in the inner side ran along the bottom of the ditch. Reinhard knew that it had a technical name which he had read and forgotten when he was being trained as an officer, but he remembered that it was designed to slowdown the advance of enemy soldiers which were trying to reach the base of the walls. Anyway that…

My dad, brother and I went out and found a pheasant so we were on the opposite side of the ditch. I was determined to get this one.

I looked up to my left and saw a guard rail with a river behind it, the car was heading towards it. My sister took control of the wheel and steered us the best she could towards the ditch. It was all green everywhere as the rear of the car hit the ditch first and spun us around, sending the front hitting the ditch as well. We spun around one more time, completing two 360’s. It might have been the wrong thought, but I was thinking about the airbags deploying at top speed, knocking us in the face…

When it comes to Jesus Christ many Christian thinkers and authors use story, metaphor, or parables to express their Christology. Gregory of Nyssa and Julian of Norwich are two examples. Their writings contain an illustration to illustrate the work of Jesus. For Gregory it is fishing and for Julian it is a story of the Lord and Servant. This essay unpacks these exemplifications thus uncovering the authors’ individual beliefs about the saving action of God for humanity through the work of…

Being Allowed for Off Campus Lunch Do you think cafeteria food is appetizing? Because I don’t. We deserve more food choices. This issue is relevant because schools nowadays serve food that don’t match a kid’s cravings. Since the new mall is opening up in the next upcoming months, we should really consider letting students go across the school and purchasing lunch there. I personally don’t like eating school food for its lack of taste and almost no choice of what to eat. You get what’s served to…
