Final Reflection Paper The end is in sight and has been a long time coming. It almost feels surreal, like it cannot possibly be real, and I am going to wake up any minute to find that I have only completed the associates program of my degree in Health Information Management (HIM) and still have another two years to go. The anticipation of finally being able to take all that I have learned and apply it in the real world is at times both frightening and exhilarating. My brain has been crammed so…

There were many different elements in The Canterbury Tales that made Chaucer choose the stories he wanted to tell in the book. Originally in the book, there were many characters that decided to go to Canterbury to pray at a grave to ask for forgiveness or say thanks in some sort of way. On the way to Canterbury, the host of the pilgrims came up with a way to make the time pass by faster. He proposed that the pilgrims tell stories on the way, and the person with the best story, would get a prize…

Forgiveness is a decision to not hold something against another person, despite what they have done to you” (Anonymous.1). Sin is an immoral act committed by a person against the divine law.…

Introduction One of the significant reasons why a corporation is put in place is largely to attain profits. If a corporation is not profitable then there is no reason for its existence. Corporations go far and beyond to make sure that this profit-making motive is satisfied. In most cases to attain as much profits as possible means that the corporations need to ignore some of their responsibilities. The impact they have on the society, environment and culture has raised concerns over the years.…

“When I discover who I am, I’ll be free.” (Ralph Ellison) Many people struggle to find their way in their lives.

Achebe writes about Nwoye’s identity shift when he converts religions. Because of this, he becomes an independent and strong man. Due to the introduction of Western ideas, Nwoye relinquishes his…

In studying the beginning section of Grudem's Systematic Theology, he discusses the four characteristics of Scripture and the doctrine of Revelation. The chapter on authority begins with asking the question "How do we know that the Bible is God's Word and which writings actually belong in the Bible?' This is an intriguing question, and I took the approach of asking an individual this question. Her response was, "I don't know, but I trust that what I am reading the Bible that the contents are…

establish a private express trust. First it comes as certainty of intention. Hence it is important to distinguish between whether the settlor intended a simple gift to donee. But here the intention of Andy is uncertain. In which the scenario expresses the term that “would” is a precatory word.

Pre-Meditated Karma- Similarly, a righteous man while performing oblations if contemplates over the helpless spirits and selflessly offers prayers for them then that is pre-meditated karma. Desired Karma- If any karma is done with a desire of acquiring a particular status or object then that is desired karma. But let us look at the vast scope of earning virtue every day, while performing our daily oblatory- offering for the forefathers one could also dedicate some of those oblations for the…

The biblical Virgin Mary’s story exists in a spiritual realm of understanding that accepts a dimensionality that cannot be quantified by science, but rather must be accepted by pure faith as it requires one to move outside of conventional reality to believe it.

Over the course of this class we have discussed the fivefold ministry and the different aspects of each ministry. I like to think of ministry like fingers- they all have separate tasks but together, one ultimate purpose. As written in Ephesians 4:12-13, the fivefold ministry’s purpose is “to prepare Gods people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole…
