Time horizon

The Dark Raven – (Jason Helmsman) We’d been patrolling San Diego for Some time our chapter was located in downtown. I felt there was a need for us if I didn’t I wouldn’t have wasted my time. I’d been interviewed on television and spoke to youth summer camps and grade school kids. I never revealed my true identity for any of these appearances and that did peek people’s curiosity a little, maybe. But no one ever really went out of their way to find out who we were. I suppose even though I…

ends and dips his wings in the orange sun rays and dares to claim the sky.” If I was to leave Oklahoma, there is one thing I am sure I will always miss: the vibrant sunset of a warm summer day by the lake. When I see the birds fly right over the horizon line, diving into the glimpse of beauty, in a moment that I’m always too slow to catch on camera, I stop and think. Think about every opportunity I have received. Think about every place that I have ever stepped foot. Think of everywhere I’ve…

"Space: The final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: To explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before." In “Star Trek V: The Final Frontier,” the Enterprise is taken over by Spock's deluded half-brother Sybok, who believes that the moment of enlightenment will come after crossing the so-called Great Barrier at the center of our Milky Way galaxy. The ship is closely pursued…

Northern Invasion was the time of my life. I haven’t stopped thinking about how awesome it was even though it was a couple months ago in May. There were forty bands over the course of two days and of course I tried to see as many as I could. I still can’t believe I actually saw some of my most favorite bands. Here are some stories about what it was like during four of those bands. One of the first bands of the day that I loved was Asking Alexandria. They were playing at the third stage which…

streams of orange and speckled with red. Well, that is what we are known for. Our hair sets us apart in this land; it defines our place in the realm. Our purpose is to make the decisions for the kingdom. We are med for this responsibility from the time our first soft tuft of hair is present. I am not certain how this came to pass, but copper hair signifies sagacity and who am I to question the authority of the realm? Actually, if anyone was in the position to question our dominance, it would be…

outweighs the mass of a white dwarf or neutron star, it is highly likely labeled a black hole. In the second commonly used method black holes are determined by the visibility of the star and its distance to the black hole. When stars enter the event horizon (also known as “The Schwarzschild Radius” in his honor.) of a black hole, mixtures of its gases will be extremely attracted to the black hole. These gases will start to form an “Accretion Disk” (formed by diffused material in orbital motion…

or the perfect job. A goal is something you want out of life, the mark you want to leave on the planet after your time has passed. My goals include to get my bachelor of science in nursing, so I can make a difference in the lives of others, as others have done for me. I plan to further my education in the art of sign language, and learn to speak fluent Spanish to help broaden my horizons and communicate with others throughout my career. I intend to continue to expand my knowledge of the musical…

away, winds that bring us back, all the best, it is the wind that surprises me as I walk alone. If by service comes joy, then happiness is closer than we think. Open the door of your house and look at, with attention, inward. It won't take you much time to find an opportunity to brighten your day. I came to fear that, now that she is gone, my love for her was not the same. And so it changed. It transformed itself and still does, it is constantly renewed and divided among those left, but it…

following purposes for my life could not be fulfilled. The next purpose for my life is my call to minister – my call to share the gospel with those I encounter. Similarly, this purpose is one for all mankind as well, and one that can be done at any time in life. Lastly, my divine design is my call to vocational ministry. This calling is unique, not more important, to certain members of the church. This is the call to shepherd God’s people. To lead, feed, and protect the people of God, in…

shop. I was thirteen years old and we had escaped into the alley beside the shop. Her mother was taking her time perusing the hats: hats with wide brims, big feathers, funny textures. My family was very successful; hats were an important commodity to the women of Vienna, even to those that typically upturned their noses at my family. The approaching war distanced itself further from me each time a woman bought a hat and exited the shop with her lips upturned in a satisfied smile. How could there…
