Stalwart

If you are a zealous fan of “When Calls the Heart,” you may have seen the hashtag #HickamsHearties and marveled about the man who plays this docile but stalwart character. Seriously, I didn’t even fully notice Hickam until this season. It was with great joy that I discovered the dashing man who breathes life into this small but integral character--Ben Rosenbaum.

The Wilderness “For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land” (Deuteronomy 15:11). Biblical scripture itself does not omit poverty from its pages. Messages of the vulnerable and poor are interwoven to express how pervasive their plight has been and will be in society. Religion assumes a righteous and perfect image outlined by preachers and painted by its followers.…

When an author tells a story, they use writing styles to bring out the theme and make the story alive. The writing styles Mark Twain uses are sentence structure, pace, vocabulary, figures of speech, dialogue, tone and paragraph structure. He uses these writing styles in the successful short stories “Luck” and “A Trial. Mark Twain, however did not use these writing styles specifically to support the theme. He used the writing styles the same way in each story regardless of the theme. Sentence…

The notion that God is dead has been disputed between proponents and opponents for centuries. One stalwart advocate of the belief that God is dead is Friedrich Nietzsche. Selections of Nietzsche’s Gay Science state, “God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for…
