they are real until some time has passed. In our gospel today we hear these words: "We have found the Messiah‚" Andrew told Peter after spending the better part of a day with Jesus. Wouldn’t it be great to know exactly how that conversation went? "What did Andrew see in Jesus; hear in Jesus; experience in Jesus; perceive in Jesus that would cause him to come to such a conclusion‚ to have such a perception? "We have found the Messiah." We simply cannot know‚ but what we do know is just this: Andrew spent

After reading “Jesus’ Two Natures: God and Man” by Matt Slick‚ I now have a better and more clear understanding of the relationship of Jesus’ human and divine nature.

describe the protagonist Teresa from the “Kayak” in two words I would say she is calm and helpful. The reason why I believe Teresa is helpful is because she went to such far lengths to help a stranger (Jamie). Teresa made sure that she could do everything in her power to save Jamie even if that put her own life in danger: “One‚ two‚ three‚ heave I grunt‚ as I break the air pocket and lift the sail a couple of inches. It is enough to let Jamie out” (1 ). Jamie is very lucky that Teresa was there to save
