James is the best book in the Bible‚ in my opinion. I love James because it is themed around perseverance and encouragement. James 1:12 says‚ "Bless is the one who perseveres under trial because having stood the test that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.” James wrote this book to inspire Jewish believers to endure and live bold Christian lives. The book of James was written in the time span between 48 AD and 49 AD. James is all about just displaying

of the stories he was telling us a lie? “Her name was Agnes‚ and she died of breast cancer when I was fourteen” (73). “When I was sixteen‚ my grandmother told me a story about World War II” (76).

is one of my favorite holidays. It is a holiday that you celebrate with your friends and family. I love Thanksgiving for many reasons. One of the reasons I like it is because of the five day weekend. The five day weekend really helps because students need to rest and most students do not sleep enough which makes them unhealthy. I like how most teachers do not give homework over the break so students can rest and spend time with their family. I think people still like Thanksgiving even if they don’t

Why I love to play hockey When I was young‚ six or seven years of age‚ my mother gave me my first hockey stick(s)‚ a pair of Fisher-Price goalie sticks.

Charles Howarth’s piece “Technology is making us blind: the dangerous complacency of the iPhone era” argues that over time people have lost wariness of technology.

These two articles exemplify the progression of changing perceptions‚ from wary and almost fearful of technology to complacent about
