“Here it is guys.” Jason said, after he had examined the site. “Alright, who has the tent?” The other three flash worrisome looks at each other, then back to Jason, “You never told us...” Ethan began, but was cut off. “Hah, just kidding. You should’ve seen the looks on your faces, absolutely priceless. It’s right here. Gimme a hand, will you?” The four work together and unpack and begin setting up the tent, when the sun threatens to set. “Uh oh. Hey guys, sun’s setting. We’d better get a fire
Painting, Astronomer by Candlelight Surprisingly small compared to other works, “Astronomer by Candlelight” by Gerrit Dou could be easily overlooked by a casual stroller. However, as I approached it to have a closer look, other paintings quickly lost interest for me. The closer I got, the more detail appeared; the scene came alive with the play of light and dark. The astronomer, eternally still, pulsed with life, pondering over his books. Within a foot of the painting I began to feel as
The Beast One overclouded and mysterious night, I find myself looking into the far distance into the unknown. What's over there? What will I find if I enter this dark place? I just see myself in a blank space of wonder. Is this just part of a dream I once had? I guess I'll never know. Feeling all these indecisive feelings to whether or not I should go forward I just imagine “What if”. What if I encounter something that I'll regret? What if I see something that I want to
days came closer for me to go and the more excited yet hesitant I was about leaving for this camp. Although the shopping for new clothes and labeling my name on everything was fun to do I had no idea what it would actually be like to go to camp. Everyday I would ask myself, will I be the only non-Jewish kid there? How are the kids over there? Are they accepting? Caring? What will we be doing at camp? The more we got ready for the day to come the faster the year went by which meant the closer camp was
As I reflect on spiritual disciplines it is easy for me to look at them and weed out the ones that I do not think apply to me and the ones that I am drawn towards. But as I press into God and ask him what he sees fit and what I need more of, the picture begins to looks different than what I thought I saw before. Since I am so obviously human, I would rather see my life through a different more accurate lens than one that is tainted and imperfect like those of my human eyes. When I look at my life
well, despite the inevitable and healthy rivalry that can sometimes occur. In fact, just before the service I overheard a furious sisterly argument about who was going to be first to dance with the best man. Understandable, I thought - until I got closer and heard them saying, 'You!', 'no, you!' I've known Frank for the best part of 20 years now and of course there are plenty of things I could tell you about what we got up to in our younger days. Unfortunately, I did consult my solicitor and he
settle the accident in a calm and mannerly way. “ You become more friendly with all of them, and you realize that you are much more connected to them, particularly to the driver, than possible in perhaps any other way.” (Paragraph 4, Sentence 7) The closer the driver and the victim became, the more friendly it got and t...

increasing my glorification of it every week and the more I come alive with its contents. Every worry of mine disappears during the show, so that the thrill of uncovering a devastating mystery whisks away every worry of mine, each episode getting me closer to the truth. The show is the perfect amount of mystery and drama to me. Where else could I find a show that involves mystery and deception, yet it also blends in the drama of a popular soap opera of the relatable life of four teenage girls in high
In life, there are many crimes people can commit, but one of the worst ones is child molestation. It is seen as one of the worst crimes even to murders and psychopaths in prisons. World Childhood Foundation has created an unsettling image to show the public what these monsters see and what a gruesome crime it is. Childhood is meant to fun and full of encouragement, but when a child is molested it scares them for life. World Childhood Foundation helps children who are at risk or already in an abusive
Thus is the case with Moth Smoke by Mohsin Hamid, a novel about a banker in Lahore, Pakistan who falls in love with his best friend’s wife, and plummets into a difficult lifestyle. The novel centers on the image of a moth flying around a flame; the closer it gets to what it desires, the more it is burned. Through the juxtaposition of the moth and Darashikoh Shezad, or Daru, as he is referred to, the reader is able to truly understand the situation that Daru has put himself in; the life he desperately
O’Connor was a devout catholic. All of her stories focused on morals, ethics, and religion. Most of her characters were southern protestants who were forced to undergo change as a result of painful and violent situations, by doing so this brought them closer to God. Her work is said to be classified as gothic, meaning it is characterized as gloomy, grotesque, mysterious, and violent. In A Good Man is Hard to Find, she uses many literary devices like irony, foreshadowing, and tone to convey her message
A Closer Look at Tackling In rugby when you do not have the ball you have to defend. To do this you stop the opposition by tackling the person with the ball. Tackling is a very important skill in rugby whatever position you are playing and it is one of my strengths. Not only is it the skill of tackling that I am good at but the decision to choose the type of tackle. There are many forms of tackling and they are needed in different circumstances. For example when you are tackling someone
Growing Closer to God I have many ideas about god and who he means to me, but there is no other image that strikes me more positively than God being the one who has created the earth and all its inhabitants, and through all this blunder took the time to create me and allow me to have life and experience all that there is to experience in this world. God to me the awesome father figure who watches over us all to make sure that we are all under his wing and follow in the ways of his son, Jesus

Relationships between siblings can be very confusing and filled with emotional obstacles. Sharing the same blood type and genetic material does not ensure a lasting and loving relationship. However, with the right amount of sensitivity, and a whole lot of humor, these relationships can grow to be the most important in one’s life. For example, my sister and I had a relationship similar to the landscape of the Rocky Mountains: peaks so high that one would believe us to be best of friends and valleys
A Closer Look at Life at Camelot GRAPH Mounted Knight with the Arms of Jean de Daillon. Tapestry, southern Netherlands, Tournai, about 1483. Moutacute House, Yeovil (Somerset); The National Trust. Today when asked about tapestries, most will imagine glorious wall decorations, with fantastic scenes and vibrant colors hanging on museum walls. In the Middle Ages however, tapestries were not only used as wall hangings, but because of their warm and durable fabric, as covers for beds tables,
Pemphigus Vulgaris: A Closer Look Pemphigus vulgaris is a serious but rare autoimmune disorder of the epithelial cells and mucosal lining of the skin. The first cases were recorded by McBride in 1771 and by Whichman in 1979. McBride was to describe the first to casualties as being caused by “bloody ichor” and “putrid ulcers”. (Jordon, 2013) However, Whichman was the one who would originally name the disease as pemphigus. The word “pemphigus” is of Greek origin which means blister or bubble. (Jordon
Acts 2:42-47 is a direct model for the Christian Church today. These verses are a clear example of faith in action. The Holy Spirit’s effect on the early church and apostles brought teaching, fellowship, the breaking of bread and prayer into fruition. The real-life love shown shouts to the 21st century church’s need to refocus on these basic tenants. This passage is a summary of the life of the early church. The four contexts in which the modern-church can draw knowledge to incorporate these heart-felt
