Eternity

Unit #4 Discussion Post The main emphasis of Dr. Thoennes’ lecture is that “God is for you.” He explains that the various attributes of God all work together for our good, and that “Everything that is true of God…is working on your behalf.” This is an amazing truth, and one that is sometimes hard to believe. Dr. Thoennes notes that trials are to be expected in the Christian life, but this does not mean that God is not for us. He reminds his students that it is vital to remember the goodness…

It is amazing how a twenty-one year old student from Yale created something so powerful, it would impact lives for a lifetime. The author, Brent Ashabranner specifically used the words “Vision” and “Remember” in the title, which was an amazing choice of words for many reasons. The word vision came straight to Brent’s head because he knew Maya Ying Lin had a vision of what the park was going to look like while looking at the park. The way Maya Ying Lin created this memorial would affect well…

representative, representing the Angel's Land, alongside Angel's Land's Mayor. My ancestors arrived in Rome from Afghanistan. In the history of humanity, Afghanistan has been standing an unconquerable nation, and will stand an unconquerable nation until the eternity. Perhaps because the Afghans like the Italians and the Americans, never have and never will succumb to fear, regardless if fear echoing from a terrorist, a dictator, a ruler, or a prime minister. As of this moment, war is engaged on…

A utopia, by its very definition, is a world full of idealistic outcomes. Robert Nozick, through Utopia, decides to give the reader a machine that allows for this world to happen. He offers an escape for those who wish to escape the chains of reality, so they may fly on to enjoy a world without fear or desperation. They may experience what they enjoy doing, without the restraints or obstructions that the physical world imposes. The machine even offers solace to those worried about the “real”…

Sometimes the world is full of signals that individuals does not perceive. In point of fact, the “crimson hand” on Georgiana’s face is an entirely nature occurrence, and the narrator implies that the mark is there for a reason (Hawthorne 341). Aylmer’s wife has to be imperfect enough to remain an earthly being. After a while, Georgiana asks Aylmer if he has had a dream about the birthmark on her face, because she heard him cry out in his sleep “It is in her heart now; we must have it out!”…

It is not right for God to cast out Grendel family because of their connection to cain. The reason behind his actions are mainly because his ancestor was the first murder in the world and God was punishing Cain and his entire family after him. He felt that he was a different person and did not want to be treated like a monster just because of his family history. Grendel believed that he should not be punished because of what his ancestor did. He felt that he was a different person and did not…

rocks. Water and rocks shape our world by weathering and eroding the land, forming canyons, cliffs, and other landforms. The water cycle is a never-ending process in which water goes through various processes, evaporating and precipitating through eternity. First, water in a reservoir evaporates, changing state from a liquid to a gas, forming water vapor. Then, that water vapor condenses and forms clouds. Next, precipitation falls, being either rain, sleet, or snow. When the precipitation…

I waited, very shaky in the long line to go on Rockin’ Rollercoaster. It was a warm day where the sun was shining down and I was pacing back and forth the whole morning in the hotel room. I had terrible butterflies in my stomach. Waiting in line felt like forever, but in all reality not much time had past. I waited and waited. I felt like one of those cartoon characters who is standing around waiting for something awful to happen. I looked up at my dad sniffing and wiping the cold tears that…
