After completing the self assessment tool for self care‚ it was clear that I am lacking in many areas. With the aid of the assessment tool I was able to recognize that my strengths are in my emotional self care and professional self care.

“Metaphors We Live By” As Lakoff and Johnson suggest in their article Metaphors We Live By‚ “Metaphors not only make our thoughts more vivid and interesting‚ but they actually structure our perceptions and understanding”. What I find most interesting throughout the duration of this article is that Metaphors We Live By gives us a source of examples that demonstrate our use of various metaphors used in everyday language and thoughts. One of the topics that I thought was interesting was when the

In the first chapter of Your Mind Matters‚ John Stott talks about how we as Christians are not using our minds properly. He says‚ “They have the zeal for God but it is not enlightened.” What this means to me is that we have the desire to get to know God but we lack the knowledge of what they actually believe.

After reading the novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley I realized that this is no ordinary story. It predicts a future overpowered by technology and government and where the people have no true freedom of choice. This book made me think about whether the utopia depicted in the novel would be a perfect place to live or a terrible place to live. It is hard to distinguish where the line is drawn between making life simpler and losing the meaning of life. Although some may look upon this type of life
