Since I can remember, I have had numerous people guide me and help me become the person I am today. Their guidance has shown me different values and morals that I still live by. I was always told to value the family and friends I have. They have all left lasting impressions on me as I grew. I also live by my faith and let God show me the way. Most importantly, I was taught to never give up on my dreams and constantly fight for what I want and live my life. I live by what I think is right and…

Since the beginning of time, there has always been a belief in something of a higher power. These mighty giants have been pillars of strength and wisdom for their people although in unusual ways. While they are similar in some aspects, they have many differences that set them apart. In the stories of Gilgamesh and the Hebrew Bible, the divine gods and God are egotistical and altruistic respectively. The organization and involvement of this power has been a topic of discussions for centuries.…

“Of Man in the Stream of Time” is written by Rachel Carson. In this essay, Carson discusses the importance for man to take responsibility over nature. Also, Carson focuses on “man’s attitude toward nature” (Carson 311). Scripture and worldly evidence provide proof that nature can survive on its own without the help of mankind. Genesis 1:27 says, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over…

Another similarity between the two goddesses is that they are both daughters of gods. Both deities were daughters of Titans. Even though their parents were gods, it does not imply that they did not possess the chthonic attributes. Many of the heavenly deities such as Zeus and Hermes have such attributes (Guiley 42). However, humans did not fear them as much as they did the underground gods. In the case of Circe, her father was the god of the sun, Helios (Kristensen 65). This god also had the…

Platt addresses the thought of how we can take back our faith from the American vision and how our lives will be radically changed when we view death as a reward. In the beginning of this book Platt brings up how our churches are making a nice middle class American Jesus. By this he means we made a materialistic Jesus who does not call us to give away anything or expect us. A Jesus who is okay with us being comfortable, balanced, avoiding danger and okay with us doing devotionals on our time,…

"In The Beginning", God is describing as this all-knowing and powerful deity that created the Earth within 7 days, making us from dust and ribs, and is the reason anything is even here. Other versions of creation like "How The Earth Was Made" try to make their god a little most realistic with Maheo, a god having unlimited…

In many ways Egyptians and Mesopotamian’s had a lot of similarities, they both believed in polytheism and were blessed with rich soils. However, the differences in geography made one territory unified and the other segregated. As well as, Egyptians were more protected from evasions while Mesopotamian’s were susceptible to attract. Both Egyptian and Mesopotamia’s geography effected their histories and religions in very similar ways, while the differences in them made each society distinctive.…

like the gods and how melodramatic they could become in such short periods of time. He looked at them as simpler creatures, especially in mind’s capacity, compared to a god like himself. Even though he believed in a separation between mortals and deities, he found that he oddly enjoyed walking through them and studying their actions. One day, he found himself wandering through the woods where he soon became lost. After hours of endless wandering, he stumbled upon a meadow. It was heavily adorned…

Throughout the process of learning about my top four Sacred Pathways, I have learned a lot about myself individually such as, my pathways are caregiver, contemplative, enthusiast, and naturalist. I could have told myself these things; if anyone knows me then they already know that I am all these things every single day. There is no doubt in my mind that I am not already a caregiver and a naturalist and an enthusiast, however, I had never noticed how big of a contemplative I was until I read…
