She is making a sarcasm here as she jokes about the weakness of the women. “No more my husband, to your pleasures gum The sweets of your recovered freedom know, go court the brittle friendship of the great,” (69-70). She is talking straight about her husband and his affair with another woman, she joking again and using the tone of sarcasm, she was speaking based on a real station so it is more affecting. “Let me be damned by the censorious prude stupidly dull, or spiritually lewd)” (63-64).

In Soren Kierkegaard’s The Present Age: On The Death of Rebellion, he argues that this generation, now probably considered to be the last 200 years or so in this context, is one of “understanding and reflection, without passion.” He defines passion as a demonstrative willingness to take action in advocacy or living life in such a way that is beyond aimlessness or spectatorship.

Without giving too much away, Martins ends up uncovering the circumstances surrounding his childhood chum’s death may be more complex than what’s visible on the surface. The mystery genre -- for both literature and film -- often plays on the idea that the evidence available may not always have the meaning it appears to…

While Jesus walked the earth he became a living epistle for those who desired more spiritual direction. He spent countless hours mentoring and teaching his disciples the ways of God. The disciples had an up close and personal look of what it took to be able to hear from the spirit of God. Jesus…

they preached. Thus, of Paul and Barnabas at Iconium, it is said: “Long time abode they, speaking boldly in the Lord, who gave testimony unto the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands” (Acts 14:3). And Paul in the Epistle to the Hebrews, writes (2:3-4: “How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them who heard; God also bearing witness to it with signs and wonders and…
