Why believe in God? For my adult Catholic trying to lead the Christ-life‚ it is useful to recall the reasons for believing. It is helpful to review why we know that God is exists. Is there a God? Is there a God above and beyond us all? Above our life and death‚ above our joys and sorrows‚ above our world and space program? For thinking people‚ this is really the important question. Is there a God? People have been asking this questions for as long as people have been thinking‚ but now so much

I do not believe in ghosts When I was little I lived in a house that was haunted. Wait don’t go! I know‚ I know‚ this subject is tired. The thing is I don’t even believe in ghosts. At least that is what I tell myself now‚ but back then I’m telling you that house was haunted. We moved there when I was in first grade and the first time I saw it‚ I started crying. Something about the house just seemed wrong. It was “pretty”‚ but it gave me a really ugly feeling. All sorts of weird‚ creepy‚ and inexplicable

I believe that people should take pride in what they do‚ even if it is scorned or misunderstood by the public at large. I have been a professional skateboarder for 24 years. For much of that time‚ the activity that paid my rent and gave me my greatest joy was tagged with many labels‚ most of which were ugly. It was a kids’ fad‚ a waste of time‚ a dangerous pursuit‚ a crime. When I was about 17‚ three years after I turned pro‚ my high school "careers" teacher scolded me in front of the entire

run for their enjoyment‚ but I do. It releases some of my frustration when I run. I am 2‚250 steps away from the finish line when I begin. I can run all year long. I can run in the winter‚ the spring‚ the fall‚ and the summer. I believe in cross country. Cross country is the best sport ever. I am on the Lake Denoon cross country team and I have had a lot of races over the past three years. When it is time to sign up I try to convince all of my friends to join so I can race with them.

Adichie’s speech gave me a new view of stereotypes and how they affect everyone in some way or another. I was already aware of stereotypes negative effects on people but I never thought about it in depth from an international point of view. Having this brought to my attention I plan to think of people differently and remember that they have more than a single story in the future. Before watching her speech I always figured the reason why people continue believing stereotypes because it is all they know and

amount of times I had seen the man I could count on my fingers. This had taught me a very valuable lesson‚ to be as close with my elders as I can because they aren’t getting any younger. This opened up my eyes to a vast amount of information coming from those who had seen it all. I accredit much of my success to my family members who have provided much inspiration. The event which had influenced me the most had to be almost losing my only blood brother. He is my best friend and I am thankful every

The America I Believe In Rick Perry once said…” I believe in America I believe in her purpose and her promise I believe her best days have not yet been lived I believe her greatest deeds are reserved for the generations to come.” Our country is a melting pot of many different colors and we are all the same but yet all so different. We all have one similarity though; we all love our country. Why I believe in these things is because our country is great. Although we have fallen a few greatness pegs

Growing up‚ I’ve learned to believe in second chances. Throughout my lifetime‚ I have noticed that every person makes mistakes at various points in their lifetime. As humans‚ we tend to hold grudges‚ but what we really need to try is to forgive and forget. Giving people second chances is a great thing to do; but what you do with your second chance is your decision. People can use the second chance to their advantage or they can use it to harm the people they have once hurt. I too have made mistakes in

I BELIEVE...... WORDS CAN HAVE POWER I believe words‚ whether spoken or written can have power. They can bring happiness and joy‚ pain and sorrow‚ lift a person up‚ drag a person down‚ pierce a heart like a dagger. Words can also give hope to someone who thought they were dying. On another level‚ there is the power that words take on when you speak them. Just the action of taking your thoughts and putting them out into the universe makes them real and powerful. One should always be very

I believe that with faith anything is possible. As a child I grew up in a Christian house hold. In the bible‚ Hebrews 11:1 states that “Faith is the substance of all things hoped for the evidence of things unseen.” Faith also teaches me to trust others‚ but more importantly myself. When I have faith and I trust myself you know that I can do anything that you put my mind to. Having faith has made me the person I am today. I know that with strong faith I can accomplish all my goals in life. It makes
