vehicle that was a breakthrough for its time. In addition to passing through snow, the snowmobile was widely used in other terrain for carrying out specific tasks. Take for example the B7 and B12 models. Both were spacious enough to work similarly to school buses students use today due to their large passenger capacity of seven and twelve respectively, that could also be used on dirt roads when the snow melted(Press et al.). The previously mentioned models were also used by doctors for the…

The celebration of the pagan festivals, especially in spring and Christmas, are still being showcased. It is performed in church mainly and in school plays. There are other outdoor festivals being acclaimed, but not based on religious teachings. The vestiges of the theaters still exist as well.

Coal was lost 50% due to hydroelectric power, natural gas, and oil…

The New Deal agencies created by president Franklin D. Roosevelt during the 1930’s helped the United States bounce back from the chaos of the Great Depression. The three R’s, relief, recovery, and reform, were a way to categorize the agencies that saved people’s lives. The unemployment rate dropped dramatically as the economy flourished, and the greatest success of the New Deal was the security it gave to Americans. The Alphabet Agencies served many purposes, but they were all used to help…

because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit” (ESV). Honestly I didn’t have a solid idea about how I felt about Christianity going into middle school and early high school. I had been through a lot, and I felt as if God was just sitting there laughing at my pain. Unbeknownst to me that wasn’t it at all. When we are going through hard things we tend to blame God and feel like he doesn’t hear us. We feel…

The Patristic Era was a time of great growth in the early Christian movement. Experiencing period waves of persecution, the early Christians were not deterred from spreading the good news of the gospel message.
