The Old Manse

Throughout Mark Shea’s 5 Myths about 7 Books, he discusses five suspicions held by Protestants as to why the “Apocryphal” books should be included within the Church’s Bible. To preface, this stance will be of dynamic inspiration, which claims that God adapts himself to the original audience of the text, allowing human writers to write according to their own experiences. Though this article there appears to be a hindsight bias as to the position of the deuterocanonical books and although Shea…

For my mini-ethnography, I decided to choose Harold A Henry Park, a park that is in the middle of Windsor Village and has been apart of that community for a while now. I picked this park because it has a great deal of meaning to me and is my neighborhood park. I grew up only a block away from this lovely park which is in the middle of a residential area. I use to walk to the park almost everyday and play soccer or in the jungle gym with all the other little kids who lived in the area, this park…

Lately I have been doing a lot of thinking, about life, and how someone might defined the overall quality, of his /her life. “ Quality of life”, is different to everyone, no two people will define it the same way nor will it be explained in the same manner. Since there are differences of opinion as to what “quality of life” actually is a working definition for this paper should be established. Therefore the definition I will be working with will be as follows it is a very complex…

Randy Pausch walks out on stage to deliver the “last lecture” smiling and joking, seemingly, without a care in the world. Little to the audience’s knowledge of the elephant in the room, he is dying. With only three to six months left of good health, Randy is dying of multiple tumors on his lever. Randy displays how people can react to death differently depending on where they are in life, their coping capabilities, and what they find their joy in. Another factor that comes into play is how…

will use these names as subheadings in your paper. Underneath your subheadings you will first have your verse in whatever version you prefer. Then it is recommended, but not mandatory, that you have the verse or verses in the original text. In the Old testament that would be Hebrew, and in the New Testament that would be Greek. After you have your verses you need to use commentaries, bible dictionaries, and Greek or Hebrew lexicons to explain what the passage is trying to tell its reader. You…

It has been identified that recurrent falling while leading to injuries has an enormous psychological implication to the aged members of our community. Many old people die of stress and this is motivated by all kinds of factors including fear of falling. There have been many incidences of deaths arising from falls and this piece of information only makes the elderly more reluctant to move about. As we have…

elderly”. The poems “Ageism” by Jan Oskar Hansen, “Equal Time For Newton And My Friend Lee” by Sydney Beck, and “Ageism” by Satish Verma all reflect the growing presence of ageism in the Post Modern time period and its impact on both the young and old populations in America. Prior to 1969, when Robert N. Butler fabricated the word “ageism” to be paired with discrimination against people based on their age,…

the problem that has arisen for the prayer. Characteristic in this articulation are hard and accusing questions (e.g., “Why?”) mediating complaints that something terribly wrong has occurred in the life of the suppliant.” Laments are common in the Old Testament but they are not common in the modern day church of the West. The modern day church forgets the necessity of lament over suffering and pain. The absence of lament in the church isolates suffering individuals and it also promotes…

I participated in this service learning programme at Carinya aged Care 220 Preston Point road Bicton WA. This organisation assists and cares for the elderly and those who cannot support themselves. I started my volunteering on the 31st of June and completed the twenty hours in the weeks that followed. When visiting Carinya, the majority of my time was spent assisting those in the dementia ward, however, I also was also able to spend some time in other areas of the nursing home, including the ……

With the advancement of medicine and technology, it is evident that there is a growing elderly population in the developed countries such as the United States. Perhaps, some casually phrase it as the “baby boomers getting older.” My experience as a nurse taught me that despite developments in modern medicine, there are challenges such as elderly independence and prevention of falls along with the combination of polypharmacy and multiple comorbidities posing as risks.
