Isaiah

“Sooo, Stella, how was your date yesterday?” As usual, Kira lacks any subtlety when asking about anything. “It wasn’t a date.” “You know it would break Gracie’s heart to hear that.” “I’m sure she’d live, because it was never a date.” She sighs dramatically. “Always crushing optimism for everyone else.” “We were working on a project, which you know, since you’re in our group.” “Hmm, maybe so, but you’re getting defensive, which means you maybe wished it was more than just studying?” “Are…

The Interpretation of Old Testament Prophecy in the New Testament Ever since the beginning of Christianity, there has been the age-old debate between some Christian scholars concerning the interpretation of the Old Testament (OT) prophecy in the New Testament (NT), and whether or not such interpretation is valid. Perhaps, such disagreement might be the reason for the various sects of Christianity and why some of the Jewish faith still holds true to the OT belief system. Notwithstanding, one fact…

“You’re good, for a girl I mean.” My friend Isaiah exclaimed when I beat his friend Austin to the ball and scored. Last summer, I played soccer at camp with my friends. I dribbled and ran my hardest, and I could outplay almost every guy there. However, when Isaiah told me this, it hurt my feelings for a while. He seemed surprised that a girl could have such aggression and skill. Therefore, he had to include my gender in his compliment, even though I was good for a person of any gender at my age.…

In the fifth verse of the fifty third chapter of Isaiah, the author proclaims that... “[Jesus] was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds we are healed” (53 Isaiah 5). The protagonist of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Randall Murphy could easily have had the same thing said of him. Although he fell extraordinarily…

barrios and the zoot suits which all tie into the Mexican gang life. A lot of young Latinos join the gang because they grow up around it, it is what they see and are around every day in their lives. Just like in a video I watch about Gang Life, Isaiah Arroyo "Cholo" stated that he was around it his whole life. He saw them being respected and carried themselves as they were better than everyone. He said he wanted the respect that they had and be like them. The Mexican gang seems to portray that…

the process will then repeat. Medical personnel will assess the inmate each round but must first wait five minutes due to the scorching body temperature. The death penalty has been one of the most controversial topics in the entire criminal justice system. From the costs, religion, victim impact, inmate and staff psychological effects, botched executions, deterrence, all the way to those who have no opinion at all, the arguments have fallen into several different categories. With evidence to…

solving as well. The Lord has been supplying me the tools to help me to understand the ways to problem solving. The Bible reminds us that, “For I am the LORD your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you” (Isaiah 41:13,…

It was a glorious day for Browns fans as they witnessed something that hasn’t occurred since 2007, a victory in Baltimore. It was a rare sighting, but Cleveland pulled off the stunning upset in an overtime thriller. At first, it didn’t look to good for the Browns. After three and outs from both teams, the Ravens struck first. The defense was fooled by the fake hand off to Justin Forsett and Joe Flacco went unscathed to score from one yard out. On the next possession, Josh McCown orchestrated a…

America, as a country, has come a long way since it’s founding in 1776. Not only have we had astounding technological and medical advancements, we also have freedom, equality, and justice. These three points, which may not seem like much, is actually the groundwork for our entire country. Living in the United States is a privilege. By having the ability to choose our friends, our religion, and our education, we have chances that other countries do not. My vision is for future generations to be…

Similar to the case of Brian Banks, many innocent people feel compelled to accept a plea bargain rather than try to maintain their innocence. As stated in the textbook, plea bargaining is neither based on constitutional basis or statuary basis; however, it is typically mutually beneficial to the defendant and the state (Bohm & Haley, 2018). When cases like the Brian Banks wrongfully conviction occur, it is hard to try and reconcile the use of plea bargaining and justice. However, without plea…
