In Our Time

I read the post Like Sheep (May 26th, 2016), from Our Daily Bread on July 25, 2016. This devotion begins with a story told by a man, who had to take the sheep to pasture in the morning and evening. The sheep were unruly and would wonder off, he found them to be frustrating. He says he “…so I quite understand when Isaiah says, ‘We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us turned to our own way’ (53:6).” He goes on listing a few ways we wonder and I thought how do I wonder. Like his example…

to do makes employees busy. They have not the time to do what they want, take care of their family and this is not good. All these aspects to having too much work to do and be busy lead us to ask the following question: is it good to be too busy or not busy enough? First of all, I will show that the fact of being busy is beneficial and after I will demonstrate that have a lot of things to do is not good. Being busy is becoming normal in our society. People combine importance and…

which we can relate to having a significant event that has helped us identify ourselves as experts, within our community. In my case, my community of practice involves my number one hobby which is playing the violin. This takes place in a mariachi group here in the community of San Bernardino. Not to mention, this community of practice has been expertise within my community for a long period of time. I’ve been part of it since it established in February 2009. This mariachi group is involved with…

discuss common issues and the aspects of a typical family, it suddenly became much more easier to relate to each other and work together. For example, at the time of our first assignment, where we had to determine what roles we would play in our family, Nadia, Tyler, and myself found it was very odd to consider the fact that Jeremiah and Shelby were our parents and find what level of respect…

looked for anything to occupy my time whether that be a swingset or a bunch of rocks to skip. I eventually found another small patch of sand around the size of a door. I sat down on the sand and put my feet in the cold water and just looked out into the river as I realized no one had phone service and that we could be on the island for a long while. I got up after about 5 minutes and pulled out my phone which was a sliding phone at the time and I checked the time, it was around two in the…

People have a tendency to focus on matters of the contemporary world. Especially in a college/university setting, students allocate a great deal of their time towards their academics; they plan particularly for the present and the near future. Making preparations for the late future, specifically for something as far away as retirement, is something many people neglect, despite its importance. It does beg the question: how far does one plan for the future? The issues regarding to the…

much? Scientists and even our everyday, ordinary person is coming up with new technology and inventions. Is technology a poison and a hazard to the youth of our society; or is it the bridge to a new way of life that can make things such as research, teaching, learning, etc., easier than it ever has been before? The technology…

existential questions are extremely difficult to answer individually, T.S Elliot successfully conveys his thoughts of these life questions through the quote “We shall not cease from exploration…and the end of our exploring will be to arrive where we started…and know the place for the first time”. Continue to ponder these questions while I present to you the following discussion. Distinctively visual is the use of a variety of visual devices often used in an artful manner that encourages the…

than trying to ignore them. It also explains that there comes a time in our lives when certain things become inevitable whether it be good-byes like in Miles’ case or times to move on from the past. At the time of his statement, Miles was saying his good-byes to his mother and father before moving away to Culver Creek High School. This quote connects to my life because while growing up, I have learned that by pretending problems in our…

life and keep going? Are you motivated enough to keep moving forward, keep pushing even when times seems back-breaking and all hopes might be lost? Motivation is a serious subject. People that want to be successful in achieving their goals know that a great part of their chances for triumph main reason is their ability to get and stay motivated consistently. No matter what goals we set or how detailed our plans might be, if we can’t find the motivation to take massive and consistent action,…
