Dear …...‚ As you likely know I recently got back from an amazing trip to the Dominican Republic! This trip opened up my eyes in many different ways such as just simply seeing the different cultures‚ seeing just how happy they are with how little they have and how much they trust in God to provide what they need! This trip also confirmed for me that mission work is definitely where God wants me in my future. With that being said I would like to take a minute and tell you about a opportunity I have

Socrates himself is very concerned with the ideal combination of justice between oneself and one ’s city or society. It is the basis of a good deal of The Republic. His quest for the perfect description of self and society leads him to many arguments and finally to his conclusion that the self and the city should be governed quite similarly‚ by a hierarchy of systematic components.

After reading Destiny of The Republic by Candice Millard I’ve concluded it is a well written book about the life of James Garfield which ties Charles Guiteau‚ Alexander Graham Bell‚ and Dr. Joseph Lister together in Garfield’s assassination and failed recovery. Although lengthy‚ Millard does well in her rhetorical skills of personifying the characters in the novel as real as they can be by using her sources and research. Millard explains Garfield’s young life as a canal worker like his father‚ to

“In the republic of mediocrity‚ genius is dangerous” this has been quoted by Robert green Ingersoll. I think mediocrity means average intelligence that resents and envies its betters. It’s like the Japanese saying: A nail that stands up gets hammered down. If you’re different‚ especially in a better way‚ you will likely not be appreciated by others (at least until the superiority of your ideas has been demonstrated so that even the unimaginative can understand their merit). Further‚ people scorn
