In the song “Rape Me” by Nirvana, many people assume the song is about a woman being raped, but with subtle clues embedded in the lyrics, “Rape Me” could also have a deeper meaning. Released in December 1993, Nirvana’s Rape Me was written by Kurt Cobain on an acoustic guitar shortly after his album Nevermind was released.…

set by such an idea when broken could represent the gap from the unknown of the impossible, to the new known possible. After the celebration wrapped up for the night, we came together once again to speak of the meaning of the fire walk, and the meaning is different to everyone.

That in itself is enough for me if given the opportunity to change what I had chosen that night to say I would have changed…

and always keep on praying. The Greek meaning of Spirit was the same as in verse 17. It means to have the “Immaterial part of the inner person that can respond to God; God the Holy Spirit.” The Greek definition makes the audience think praying in the Spirit is connecting to God in prayer through the strength of the Holy Spirit. The Greek meaning for the word occasion helps gives more insight on when/how to pray. The Greek word for occasion is “kairos” meaning time, the right time,…

There is a very famous quote, that I don’t remember who wrote it, that said “Home is where the heart is”, but is that true. I think that is kind of true, but every human being has a different meaning for home, like everyone has a different one for life, we all have had our difference experiences and went through different things.
