I Will Survive

Over the Summer, I stayed with my best friend in Missouri. We had an exciting time on their boat. I learned how to play skip-bo, which can be very competitive. It was the first time I’d been so far from home without my parents. Spending time on the boat, playing cards and getting over my malady, in the hot Missouri sun, was one of the best times of my life. We went on the boat whenever it didn’t rain. One day, we decided to go tubing. Overall, it was great until the inner tube exploded, and…

On October 27, 312, Constantine prepared for battle against Maxentius at the Milvian Bridge, an important route over the Tiber River into Rome. According to tradition, Constantine looked up into the sky to see a blazing cross of light with an inscription that read, “in hoc signo vinces” (in this sign you shall conquer). Although Constantine was not a Christian, the sign of the cross—a prominent Christian symbol—led him to believe this to be a sign from the Christian god, and he ordered his…

I knew immediately that I wanted to give up social media for three days from the moment I read the details of the assignment. It was an easy choice for me because, it is something that I engage in every day. I am on my apps and my cell phone constantly. Perhaps even more than the average person should be. Checking my cell phone as I awake is a part of my morning ritual, and it happens subconsciously. I wake up in the morning and grab my phone to check Instagram and Facebook like it is the…

My purpose of my research paper is to show how the rise of christianity played a role in the fall of Rome. When christianity first arose the government leaders and emperor thought of it as a threat. They believed that believing in one god (Jesus) and not the emperor would result in disloyalty to the emperor. And because of this threat of christianity the government would punish the people who believed in it. By execution or other harsh punishments. The government made all christians convert back…

Ben Bosma’s reputation as a renaissance man is substantiated by a simple Google search of his name. While this doesn’t necessarily surprise me in the least, what does surprise me is the number of achievements that Ben has been able to amass throughout his life that was revealed by the search. It was determined that Ben had an illustrious career as a United States Air Force pilot. He graduated from the Air Force Academy in 1975 with degrees in aeronautical, astronomical, and mechanical…

In the first few centuries A.D. Christians were rounded up and killed for their beliefs. When Constantine became the Roman Emperor in 306 A.D. things changed. The church became very powerful in the Roman Empire. In 476 A.D. Rome fell and Christianity was one of the many factors that caused it to fall. Christianity had several effects on the Roman Empire. There were religious, cultural, economic, and political issues in the Empire that were caused by the rise of Christianity. Some people say…

from the British Isles The Things I Do For Quality Children's Entertainment I love The Lorax. Humbly, I will assert that it is the best Dr. Seuss book to grace God's green earth. I mean, humming fish! Barbaloots! Total ruin of the environment at the hands of capitalist overlords! What's not to like? Obviously, I jumped at the opportunity to see a live production of The Lorax at the Old Vic Theater in London this past week. So what if it was a children's production? I would show up, get some…
