Analysis Of The Song 'It Never Rains In Southern California'
The song tells about the misadventures of a budding singer who wanted his "American Dream" fulfilled by starting from scratch in California. The phrase "It never rains in Southern California" is an allusion to the supposed fact that California was the land of opportunities and a sure-shot for every newbie in the music business. Sadly, things turn out disastrously for the protagonist, and the line "it pours.." refers to the fact that in the end, life in California treated him harshly.
In such condition, victims may think of giving up on themselves or committing suicide, but if they encourage themselves and believe that God can turn a situation around for good, no matter how difficult and challenging it might seem, their hopes and dreams can

    Mississippi Damned Movie Analysis

    Everyone in the world can testify to their trials and tribulations but they are exactly what morphs and shapes us into who we are. The weak succumb to the poison and destroy themselves, but the strong understand eventually that where you come from and what you have been through does not define you. It is an individual choice you make to lay down and die or stand up and make something of yourself. Kari Patterson understood that. Since she was a little girl, she represented hope for a better tomorrow. Continuous negative events in her life was like putting black food coloring in hydrogen peroxide.

    Coun 506 Journal Review

    In this paper I will review the article “Interventions that Apply Scripture in Psychotherapy.” (Garzon 2005). Overall counseling can be very tricky, especially when the client is religious. This will require the counselor to use multiple resources, such as the Bible, when coming up with a treatment plan. The word of God is superior when it comes to healing. “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12 (NIV)…

The movie begins with the main character, movie star Don Lockwood, escaping from a wild mob of fans and jumping into a random car where he meets Kathy Selden. Falling in love with independent Kathy Selden, Don Lockwood faces the problem of finding her again after the escapade of jumping into her car. Even when Don finds Kathy again, Lina Lamont, the glamorous actress alongside Don Lockwood in all the movies, becomes a problem. Lina observes Don’s love for Kathy, and wanting Don for herself tries in every possible way to tear the two apart.

    A thorough assessment may determine the need for the healing power of prayer. McMinn (2011) emphasizes the importance of prayer in and out of a counseling session and the benefits of assisting a client to improve their relationship with God. “The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective” (James 5:16). Prayer can be effective for the client to strengthen their relationship with God. Prayer can lead to a sense of self-identity and prepare a broken client to create a closer, healing relationship with God (McMinn, 2011).…

    Sometimes we think that our plans must lead down a better road, or that God must not love us enough to protect us from this pain we feel, but God actually uses the painful experiences to further develop our character. Vivian Thomas could have given up when it became too discouraging, but instead he persevered and became an inspiration to many people. During times that are hard, God teaches us more about life, ourselves, and most importantly, about Him. Sometimes it is even necessary to go through a difficult time before we are able to realize the ways in which we need to grow and…

    The book then unfolds on demonstrating a strong understanding of the individual’s feelings and emotions. He empathizes that counselors should be aware of themselves before counseling others on any situation. Since Dr. Wright uses biblical passages as examples in ministering others, he recommends that ministers use Jesus as an example on treating a crisis or trauma victim. He teaches to ministers that once the advice is given, it cannot be taken back. The individual is going through a traumatic event and if the words aren’t chosen correctly, it could have a drastic impact on their life. Counseling those in need require one to provide the individual with unconditional love and hope. Showing…

    Man's Search For Meaning Analysis

    If God is all powerful and all good, then why is there evil in the world? Why did the holocaust happen if God cares for his people? Why are women treated unequally if we are all made in God's image? Why do some still starve to death because of their inability to buy food? Why does racism exist? Viktor Frankl in Man's Search for Meaning offers an answer to those struggling with these questions. Frankl explains that all else can be taken away from a Holocaust victim except his ability to respond positively in a situation (87). Though his career, fortune, and family might be ripped from his hands, he can still turn suffering and hardship into something beautiful and meaningful. Victor explains "Even though lack of sleep, insufficient food and various mental stresses may suggest that the inmates were bound to act in certain ways...it becomes clear that the sort of person a prisoner became was the result of an inner decision" (87). Those experiencing hardship around the world today can still choose to respond positively and create a life worth living and fighting for. In fact, suffering helps one to grow. Frankl says, "The way in which a man accepts his fate and all the suffering it entails, the way in which he takes up his cross, gives him ample opportunity-even under the most difficult circumstances-to add a deeper meaning to his life"(88). Suffering allows one to add this "deeper meaning to his life". If they choose to, one can become stronger and deeper through their hardship. Frankl quotes Fyodor Dostoevski saying, "There is only one thing that I dread: not to be worthy of my sufferings" (87). How one responds to inequality and disparity in the world, determines if he/she is worthy of suffering. One might choose to respond morally and with a goodness inherent to the human condition, or act grievously. Those struggling with inequality can find meaning in their…

    Essay On Evangelistic Ministry

    The Evangelistic ministry design, will take the unchurched back to the beginning of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelations, and allow God to take on the battle of any given concern of lostness, hurt, or the pain of life, at any stage. The unchurched of the community then expects the miracles that only God is capable of, through faith, to heal and address added concerns.33 Bible-based counselors of the evangelist ministry will teach adults who find themselves in a situation where life has become unbearable and in some cases overwhelming, well-studied coping methods. Unfortunately, the Christian who seeks counseling, encounters the how, who, what, and why God is, has been challenged. In relation to Floyd Barackman’s findings the mindset of humankind suffers greatly when decisions and lifestyles are lived without God. Barackman states, “God is reliable and the qualities of His nature are…
