Devastating situations were occurring back to back in my life. Things had gotten so bad that I began questioning my faith in God. I was seriously at a crossroad. This slightly put a strain on our relationship‚ which led me to not be as close to God as I was previously. I had stopped going to church‚ I barely prayed at night‚ and when unfortunate circumstances kept appearing; that diminished my faith even more. I saw my life spiraling out of control and I honestly did not know what to do about it. Therefore

Islam: Empire of Faith The main subject and purpose of the movie was about the Islams and the Muslims‚ and Muhammad plus the Christians and Sulleyman. The good thing about the movie was that it was educational. I think that it could have been better‚ it was boring I had a hard time staying awake. If I was to rate it it would be a five out of ten because although it was educational it was also very boring. The only thing I had problems with was that his accent was more kind of British or Australian

Stand Your Ground Law One law I will forever remember is the “Stand Your Ground” law. This law has been around for some time now but many people including myself have only recently learned of this law‚ because of a very emotional case in Florida involving ‚George Zimmerman” murdering a 17 year old unarmed boy named “Trayvon Martin.” Stand your ground law was actually passed October 1‚ 2005. Ironically Florida was the first state to pass (Stand your ground law) and now Florida is the state

Abolish Stand Your Ground An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind said by famous peacemaker Mahatma Gandhi. This law has caused people to kill first instead of trying to avoid conflict. If we don’t change the logistics of this law then we won’t know which side of the law that we stand on. The law is supposed to solve problems‚ not create them. Laws should provide as much clarity as possible‚ not expand racism and discrimination. Laws should always bring about the practical results

Bryon McCoy 2/8/99 Less Than Zero Analysis Less Than Zero‚ written by Brett Easton Ellis‚ is almost as much about Blair as it is about Clay. Further more‚ the relationship of clay and Blair is the underlying theme that nits the fabric of this book together. As we look at the book we see several characters. Each of which is‚ to be blunt‚ screwed up. There are five characters that could be successfully argued as the main ones. There?s Trent‚ conniving and conceded who is a ?male model? and ?won?t
