The Butt

not finishing, but I just thought she was telling me all that just to get me to clean. So as usual I told her that I would help. However, instead of helping, I went and played my video games. A couple hours later, Mammaw told me to get up of my lazy butt and get…

Cleopatra was the kind of woman to watch the news. She followed traditions and was the last pharaoh of ancient Egypt before it became another part of the Roman Empire (BBC). As a ruler, she would watch her actions take effect, protecting her son from any challenges to succession by banishing, killing, and estranging her other family members. From a cultural standpoint, she was ethnically Greek, yet managed to build credibility among the Egyptians by learning their language. In the comical…

(Sewall 224) This statement is the icing on top of the cake because of how Pharisaical he was being. On one hand he was alluding that the skin color of slaves is a deterrent of the respect they deserve as human beings. But then he tries to cover his butt by adding each of these ‘Ethiopians’ are to be treated with respect. To increase this ridiculousness Sewall adds Matthew 5:43-44 and John 13:34 to his paradoxical argument. Matthew 5:43-44 states “You have heard that it was said ‘Love your…

I interviewed Taylor Gamblin about his high school experienced. Taylor is 25 years old and has been out of high school for 6 years. He went to Henderson High School. I ask asked him questions about his high school experience. For example, I asked him what he wishes he had done in high school, did anything in high school inspire him to be where he is today, if so what, what is his most memorable high school experience, did he have any embarrassing moments from high school, what was the most…

This is a huge reminder for me not to depend on the world’s ideas or even my personal talent to communicate the Gospel; but rather, allow the Spirit to work through me. Also, there is a temptation within churches; and even the church I lead, to get “butts in seats” through fancy tactics rather than having people filled with the…

The snow day It was a cold winter's morning, I can see the white fluffy snow that was falling last night. And me my brother and sister were ready to go sledding.(There's a park behind my house so that's where we usually go.) While we were outside getting the sleds from the garage. Mom was doing the dishes and dad was watching a basketball game. We were all bundled up in warm clothes and hats/gloves. We go over to the park and start sledding we raced to see who could go down and up first, we…

driver to fill the head of the screw up completely to take up all the space”. It makes sense but at the same time I’m sure if I don’t have one I would still use what I have to make sure the job gets done. Stripping a head of a screw is a pain in the butt and adds hours to a job that could have been completed in minutes.…

Littering has become an issue in my community over the last several years. About 5 years ago, an alteraine recreational vehicle club was developed by my home and with it came an increase in traffic thus, an increase in littering. During windy days, litter can be seen blowing along the roadways and into yards along the roadway. Everyone has heard the slogan “Keep America Beautiful”, but I never really thought about what that meant until now, when I see the changes in my own community. Litter…

Some movies that have been at our house we quote for years and use witty lines whenever needed wherever a sarcastic comment may be appropriate to use in our conversations. As a young,boy my parents pushed and strived to make sure that I watched age appropriate movies that were well made. I…
