The Book Of Psalm 23
In the book of Psalm there are several passages I have found to be encouraging, consequently, there is not just one I can call my favorite. The Psalm I have chosen to write about is Psalm 23. This was one of the very first verses I remember memorizing as a child in Sunday School. There were passages my Great Aunt and I would read together as she taught me about the Lord at a young age. She was like a mother to me when I was younger, reading through the book of Psalm reminded me of several of our adventures. This passage explains the confidence David had in the Lord to see him through any challenge life may bring him (Deffinbaugh, 2004). Psalm 23 has a certain comfort embedded within it, at a level that cannot be fully expressed in a written

    Song of Solomon

    Men’s repeated abandonment of women in Song of Solomon shows that the novel’s female characters suffer a double burden. Not only are women oppressed by racism, but they must also pay the price for men’s freedom. Guitar tells Milkman that black men are the unacknowledged workhorses of humanity, but the novel’s events imply that black women more correctly fit this description. The scenes that describe women’s abandonment show that in the novel, men bear responsibility only for themselves, but women are responsible for themselves, their families, and their communities. For instance, after suffering through slavery, Solomon flew home to Africa without warning anyone of his departure. But his wife, Ryna, who was also a slave, was forced to remain in Virginia to raise her twenty-one children alone. Also, after Guitar’s father is killed in a factory accident, Guitar’s grandmother has to raise him and his siblings. Although she is elderly and ill, she supports her children financially, intellectually, and emotionally.…

    Song of Solomon

    The novel Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison takes place in an unnamed city in Michigan between the years 1931 and 1963. The novel’s protagonist, Milkman Dead, lives with his father, Macon Dead II, his mother, Ruth, and his two sisters, Magdalene and First Corinthians. His father being somewhat obsessed with owning things and earning wealth, Milkman was raised more privileged than the typical African American teenager during this time. Despite the freedom and appeal that money tends to provide, Milkman increasingly feels more and more restricted by his family structure and society’s monotonous path.…

    Song of Solomon

    The epigraph of Toni Morrison’s novel Song of Solomon introduces the most important and central theme of the novel; flight. It reads “the fathers may soar/And the children may know their names”. The novel is focused on flight and how it affects those left behind; the driving force behind the story is an old tale about Milkman’s great grandfather Solomon flying back to Africa and leaving his wife Ryna behind with 20 children to tend to. Morrison links this tale across space and time to Milkman’s life three generations later. Milkman “flies” away to find out about his past and leaves behind his lover and cousin, Hagar. Throughout the novel, Morrison uses literal and figurative flight as a motif that can be interpreted as a vehicle for human escape; however, it also serves as the catalyst for emotional distress and feelings of abandonment. This abandonment is displayed almost exclusively by the men of the story and the abandoned are almost always the women.…

    I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth (Psalm 34:11). When I think about that passage it reminds me of my childhood. Growing up in the house of the Lord gave me an insight of how the afterlife would be when I parish from this earth. The way I was taught about the Bible gave me a better understanding of the goodness of the Lord. This has helped me in my life to be more giving to others and to cherish family.…

    King James Version Of Psalm 23

    Many people converted to Protestantism because they didn’t need the Church to tell them what to believe anymore. Over the years, as people have been able to read bible stories for themselves, some have become more favored than others. My favorite story from the King James Version of the bible, is Psalm 23 because it provides guidance, bravery, and hope. One reason why Psalm 23 from the King James Version of the bible is my favorite, is because it provides guidance. In this bible verse, it speaks of the Lord being a shepherd, meaning he is a keeper, leader, and caregiver of the people.…

    Bible

    Edmund Burke writes, “He well knows what snares are spread about his path, from personal animosity… and possibly from popular delusion. But he has put to hazard his ease, his security, his interest, his power, even… popularity… He is traduced and abused for his supposed motives. He will remember that obloquy is a necessary ingredient in the composition of all true glory: he will remember… that calumny and abuse are essential parts of triumph…” Burke’s quote specifically describes the role Atticus Finch plays in To Kill A Mockingbird. Atticus sets aside the community’s prejudice accusations and their effects on his family in order to save the life of an innocent black man, Tom Robinson. Atticus risks his personal and family security, power and popularity, is abused for his supposed motives, and knows that obloquy is required for true glory.…

    The Sermon On The Mount

    There are many places throughout the Bible where mountains play an important role. From the flood, Mount Ararat was the place that the arc settled on when the waters went down. Abraham was told to go up to the top of a mountain in the land of Moriah to sacrifice his son to The Lord. Christ was transfigured on, you guessed it, a mountaintop. In fact, one of the most prolific and well known sermons in the Bible, if not the most well known, is actually referred to as "The Sermon on the Mount".…

Since the study of behavioral genetics can potentially lead us down the road of genetic engineering it attracts a lot of controversy.…
