In the chapter “Stockings”, one object that functions as a symbol is the pantyhose Henry Dobbins carries. “He liked putting his nose into the nylon and breathing in the scent of his girlfriend's body; he liked the memories the memories this inspired.” (page 111). This shows that Dobbins object has an emotional and intimate value to him. Also he believed carrying around the pantyhose worked as a good luck charm. “They kept him safe. They gave him access to a spiritual world, where things were…

is where I really saw a difference in culture. As the pastor lead a prayer from the stage, a majority of the people in the room began standing up and crying out to God in their own words where they were sitting in the congregation. Now growing up in a United Methodist Church background, and marrying a Southern Baptist I knew this was not common for either of those particular denominations. So for this style of worship in prayer, had to be somewhat tied to the Korean culture and traditions. It…

I remember the squeaky sound my new, white Mary-Jane shoes made as I walked down the aisle toward the altar. The sleeves of my first communion dress itched my shoulders as I anticipated eating the “body of Christ” bread for the first time. This ceremony, my first holy communion, was the last of my religious activities until high school. My father was a traditional Catholic while my mother was more open and spiritual. After my communion I realized I resonated more with my mother’s beliefs than my…

chance to defend himself. And it would be tough for him to represent a man he believes is guilty. It is easier to just remain ignorant, and treat every client fairly. Even if his clients are guilty, it does not mean that they do not deserve a second chance. My uncle has taught me that every man, women, and child on this earth deserves the same level of fairness and justice. The final character trait that makes me into the person I am, is spirituality. Spirituality has always been an important…

Prayer is a vital spiritual discipline in the life of every follower of Christ and must be treated as such. Not only did Jesus demonstrate the importance of prayer through his life, but the bible blatantly commands followers of Christ to pray. Therefore, it is vital that children’s ministry make every effort to help instill this value in children, that they would make prayer a priority. However, due to the limited impact a church has on a child’s life, it is necessary for children’s ministry to…

Monasticism was the desire to forsake the world and the ever growing secularization of the church, and it brought a whole new understanding of the practice of prayer. “In the mid-fourth century, Basil drew up a set of monastic rules for regulating the daily life of urban monastic groups. He noted eight daily occasions for prayer: early in the morning, at the third hour, at the sixth, at the ninth, when the day’s work is ended, at nightfall, midnight, and before the dawn.” The monastic…
