Mountains Beyond Mountains

Holy Spirit descended in the body and God speaks saying that Jesus is his son. Then at the Transfiguration of Jesus he takes Peter, John, and James to witness on the mountain as he and the two men, Moses and Elijah, who appeared in glorious splendor, are talking together. It is stated by Peter in Luke 20 and later on the mountain by God himself. And a voice came from the cloud: ‘this is my son, my chosen one: listen to him.’ (Luke 9:35). Prayer has a unique role for the believers it is talked…

In the book, Miles was notorious for this. When speaking about education, he said it was “To prepare mountain youth to take their place in the modern world” (Giardina 60). In this one statement, he belittled his own kind for being uneducated, slow, and underdeveloped. Not only did he hurt them with his words, he also worked with the business going against…

There's this feeling that I get when I go to someplace new. My blood starts pumping faster as adrenaline fuels my excitement. Anticipation seeps into me as I think about the places I’ll go and people I’ll meet. That’s why I yearn to travel, for the excitement I feel every single time. Don’t get me wrong, I love my small hometown in Iowa, but let’s be honest, it can get a bit dull. Whenever the opportunity to travel is offered, I jump on it because, “We travel not to escape life, but for life not…

Colonial relationship with their British homeland began to deteriorate rather quickly after the seven years war. This war was one of the largest wars of the time and changed the geopolitical state of the world. The world would not be rocked the same until the Napoleonic wars several decades later. Many of the colonists views towards their home country changed such as its role in governing, protecting and taxing the colonies however many policies stayed the same such as colonial assemblies and…

in the Ozark Mountains with his family. At a young age, Billy developed an awful “disease” as he called it. What is the “disease” of puppy love? He longed to be able to have not just one, but two coon hounds. Although, Billy’s family could simply not afford two good coon hounds, as they just did not have that type of money. With determination and hard-work, Billy is eventually able to save up enough money for two pups to call his own–Old Dan and…

Feliz and Riverside. As usual, I listened to my music and walked half a mile to the entrance of the park. What I like about Griffith Park is its shady hiking trails and roads. Since most of its roads and trails are right next to acute slops of the mountain, it provides shade to many joggers and walkers during the summer months. On top of that, the trees provide the much needed breeze when it gets hot. Though I must admit, most of the flora was brown and with the drought that is in Southern…

From both human contributions and natural sources, our planet is constantly changing. New scientific discoveries with the potential to save lives are occurring, new technology is making it increasingly common to have communications with people and groups across previously uncrossable boundaries, and humans are constantly breaking records and norms to challenge what we believe is possible. The world is not an inherently bad place, but we have our problems. While we are accomplishing all of…

The book of Psalms, like the other “wisdom books” of the Bible, contains “songs,” that are attributed to King David. King David was likely not the author of these ancient hymns, but the Psalms still retain a thematic connection between David and his god, regardless of authorship. Psalm 11 is not only a clear reflection of the spiritual connection between monarch and deity, but also serves as a condemnation of the wicked. The author describes how he refutes those that may dare to gainsay his…

range of clients :a man who had a chest tube due to a motorcycle accident, a man who had a partial nephrectomy, several patients that had knee replacements, one patient with a hip replacement as well as a young man who had broken his pelvis in a mountain bike accident. I had the opportunity to spend a day in the OR with a client and follow her into the PAR and assist with monitoring her vital signs. Skills that I was able to do this rotation were: IV push medications, putting in and taking…
