If I were to sum up what I have learned from this course it would be focused on Faith and a new understanding of the Bible. Faith is not just part of religion but every aspect of our everyday lives‚ and is fascinatingly carried through the Bible from the beginning to the end. It began with the Creation‚ and continued throughout the Fall‚ Redemption‚ and Consummation of Christ. It is the foundation of the Christian perspective and what leads God’s people to salvation and good works. Our modern world

Aliah Rolland Mrs. Remington Creative Wrighting 5 December 2012 “The Thoughts” It was Christmas Day and I was dreading opening the gift from my Aunt Jenny.

Tom Fletcher – OTL611 Genesis Reading and Summary Statements The Creation Event: Genesis 1.1 – 2.24 This is a narrative of the Creation account. I note the obvious theme of “blessing” in 2.3 where “God blessed the seventh day…” I also see an indirect theme of blessing throughout the creation drama as The Lord God sees what he has created as “good” (1.4‚ 10. 12‚ 18‚ 21‚ 25‚ 31).

When reading or watching any form of literature we expect for there to be a happy ending. Many times we use literature to fill the voids in our lives. In “The Far and the Near” an old train engineer‚ who has seen deaths‚ has no family‚ and has performed a solitary and lifeless job for his entire life fills his void by awaiting two o’clock everyday so he can blow his whistle and wave to a mother and daughter. No matter how much a person has done in his life for himself or others‚ we know a happy
