Modern Christianity
Now a day too many people are loosing their focus in life. We have
heard that people are committing suicide everyday around in our
community. In many of these occasions, religion has played a big role
in saving many of these victims from the overwhelming pressures of our
society. Religion has acted as a shelter that provides a peaceful
environment and hope for guidance for these lost victims. Among that,
becoming a Christian is what many have sought for. Two years ago, an
eighteen years old high school friend of mine who is a typical American
teenager lived in a perfect family of four had tried to commit suicide.
It was astonishing when I found that he almost killed himself after he
broke up with his girlfriend of six years. He simply thought that it
was the end of the world when this had happened to him. He thought that
his life would be no longer important and meaningful to this world.
Luckily, at the very last moment of killing himself, his friend saved
him. It happens that his friend knocked on the door of the bathroom at
the right moment while he was trying to cut through his own wrist.
After talking with this friend, who happened to be a Christian, he told
him that there was a lot more in life that he should hold on to. He was
then convinced that he could find what he had lost and would be able to
realize how valuable a life is by becoming part of the big family,
Christian, that is. He then became a born-again Christian ! in the
following weekend. My friend although knew absolutely nothing about
Christianity and he had never even read Bible, finally joined the big
family.
Another friend of mine who happened to be a really mature guy, living
in his early 30^s had realized that he was diagnosed with prostate
cancer and was being told that he would not live longer than 2 years.
Before he got this disease, he used to be really energetic and hopeful
for everything that he did. After realizing how much time he could have
left in life, his personality made a huge swift to the opposite. He
began to have no hopes in his life because he thought that he could die
in any seconds. At that point of his life, he had totally lost his
focus of himself and what is about to happen later on in his life. One
day at the hospital, during a schedule psychological therapy those
cancer patients were urged to take.

Modern versions of the Gatling gun, such as the .30 cal. Dillon Aero mini gun and the 30mm GAU-8 on the Air Force’s A-10 Warthog, are still in common use in the military today.

To become the first to hold a position is a tremendous accomplishment; However, it is also something that may come with extra criticism and possibly scorn. Sandra Day O’Connor was the first woman to become a Supreme Court Justice. She was a remarkable person, born on March 26, 1930 in Texas. She began her education by attending Stanford and majoring in economics, then recognizing her interest in law, she returned to Stanford, and completed law school in two years as opposed to the standard three, finally graduating in 1952. After struggling to find work, O’Connor served as a civilian lawyer in the Quartermaster’s Corps in Germany, with her husband John Jay O’Connor. For six years following this, she worked as a stay at home mom raising her three sons, Scott, Brian and Jay. In 1969 she went back to work in politics, after being appointed to a vacant senate seat by Governor Jack Williams; Sandra was very successful, and was re-elected for this position twice. The year 1981, however, is when O’Connor earned what is likely to be considered her greatest achievement: she was appointed by Ronald Reagan to become the first ever woman Supreme Court Justice (biography.com 2012).
Through the close study of two of the aspects shown in the diagram, their contributions allow Christianity to be considered a living religious tradition. The significant contributions of Pope John XXIII, during both his papal and Pre-papal life have had everlasting effects on not only Catholicism, but Christianity as a whole and lead to the sense of Christianity being a living religious tradition. His works include two Papal encyclicals, Mater et Magistra and Pacem in Terris, along with his work being Apostolic Delegate of Greece and Turkey. Moreover, The significant practice of Baptism has further contributed to Christian being considered a living religious tradition as it accounts for the premise of most Christian beliefs to be initiated, especially in terms of salvation and affirming the beliefs in the trinity and following the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Popular in the united states, the rhythmic music known as rap can be traced back generations to it’s ethnic origins. Centuries before hip hop music existed, the Tribes of West Africa were delivering stories rhythmically, over drums and sparse instrumentation. Connections between tribal story telling virtuals and rap music have been acknowledged by many modern day "tribes", spoken word artists, mainstream news sources, and academics. In the 21st century, rappers rap about their lives and how the place they grew up in was very hard and that is why many people think like rap music so much, because there are many connections rapper can relate to.

Small arms technology has been used in some capacity since the thirteenth century. It has helped to change the face of the world and of warfare. They are so engrained in our culture it is odd to think of a world without them. However, it is important to remember that firearms were not always as efficient as they are now. This allows us to take what are essentially tools of warfare and appreciate them for the marvelous feat of engineering that they are.
