Old Faithful Geyser

saying, definitely one to live by! Overall the Bible should have some authority on everyone, as it sure does on me. The 10 commandments is another example of what one should follow. It really depends on where you search for answers in the Bible. The Old Testament is hard to assimilate when it comes to finding authoritative life lessons that could help in life. The New Testament is another story. The New Testament is closer to our era, therefore some of the passages in the New Testament can…

THE LAW OF LIBERTY Introduction The Law of Liberty is initially mentioned in James 1:25, “But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continue therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.” At this point, James is referring to the Gospel, even though it is termed a law, it is not, firmly speaking; a law is authorized and obligated. But, here it is an affirmation of uprightness and deliverance by Jesus Christ, a proposal…

People have to go through various stages in life from birth until they reach an old age. In past years most people have been changing their ideology to the word "old age". Elderly experience changes in some aspects of their lives for instance elderly start presenting physical changes because of the decline in the normal functioning of the body such as vision, poor mobility, hearing, and memory. Their socio-economic status also affects the individual’s way of life due to change of a salary or…

Self-neglect isn’t the syndrome many twenty somethings learn about after they’ve stayed up too late, too many nights in a row or when they’ve consumed too much alcohol in one sitting, or even when they ate all that food at McDonalds at three in the morning. In fact, most people self-neglect in one way or another, whether they smoke cigarettes, eat unhealthy foods, text while driving, fail to visit the doctor regularly, drive while under the influence, along with many other behaviors one may…

In this passage, possibly the most important nature of Jesus, particularly in his relationship with the Law, is revealed: He is come to bring new order, while maintaining the old. He was the force of a change, and at the same time the protector of the tradition. As stated multiple times, the Law was here to stay, regardless of what Jesus do. The Law was not going to change, but the people were. Upon Jesus’ crucifixion, Jews…

book “The Bible Jesus Read.” It felt as though I was sitting across form the writer just soaking in all he had to say. After reading commentaries and Bible dictionaries, this book gave a fresh perspective on the Old Testament. Yancey was not interested in the nitty gritty details of the Old Testament like date and author of books, but rather focusing on the point and the big picture. For example, in the preface of the book, Yancey quotes Oswald Chambers saying: “the Psalms teach you how to…

This last weekend, I had the opportunity to interview my brother, who is under 25, and my mother, who is over 25: my brother is 20 years old and my mother is 48 years old. I asked them four simple questions on the Old Testament and they each gave me their own opinions. Each question addressed a different aspect of the Old Testament: creation, historical stories, scriptures’ relevance to today, and the Ten Commandments. The first question I asked each of my interviewees was, “Do you think the…

Health Care Need With an influx of older patients due to the baby boomer generation, I can predict that there will be a increase in the amount of patient care we will have to deliver to a vastly aging population. Not only that, but due to increased medical technology and advances in medicine, people are living longer and surviving injuries at better outcomes and rates. What does this mean for us? We are the next wave of nurses that are going to be employed at facilities that are going to care…

Stereotype as a societal norm should be discouraged in our society, because it is a social menace. Although the phenomenon is insidious, the effects of stereotype to the well-being of the affected people or group are enormous, which can include poor health outcome, inadequate and delayed treatment for health issues. In the worst case scenario could result to death (Levy, Ashman,& Slade, 2009). This paper will define the concept of stereotype as a societal construct against the older adults. It…

A sense of place is particularly important in Appalachian literature. Place, or home, is where someone belongs. It is the attachment, emotions, and memories associated with a specific area. Oftentimes, it is where one feels most comfortable. For many of the characters in Appalachian literature a sense of place stems from different areas, whether it be the actual land or the people surrounding them. However, for most of them, a sense of place is a driving force behind their decisions and actions.…
