My favorite bible verse is John 14:17 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. To me this reminds me that Jesus is my savior and I have the gift of sacrament and eternal life. This gives me peace and hope. In a world of bad news and stressful events he tells us to not be afraid‚ that he will take care of us ultimately. He tells us he does not give like the world; we cannot “earn his gifts”

Women have been judged and told that they “couldn’t do” certain things for hundreds of years‚ especially female athletes. Whether it was for the “emotional level of a woman”‚ or just their supposed “inability to play”‚ they have been unappreciated for what they can do by sexist‚ misogynistic men like Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. He claims that‚ “you know‚ the girls‚ they are more unstable emotionally than us [men]”. I am glad that this idea of female athletes has faded over the years‚ and that women are finally

Let’s take a closer look at what it says: "38 “You have heard that it was said‚ ‘Eye for eye‚ and tooth for tooth.’ 39 But I tell you‚ do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right

I believe that everything began when God created it. God created the Heavens‚ Earth‚ and everything in it. There was nothing before creation. Genesis 1:1-31 and 2:1 give an account of the entire creation story and how the world came to be.

Sometimes it depends on the conception of the seeker or even needs. As any abstract value freedom seemed to be lost between truth and fantasy and still. When the term is treated as a relative

Dreams and What They Mean Psychologists seem to fall into two groups regarding dreams. The first group believes that dreams have no real purpose; while the second group believes they do have a purpose‚ although this group cannot reach a consensus on what the purpose might be. Sigmund Freud is probably the most famous of the dream theorists. He believed that dreams helped to preserve sleep by keeping individuals from waking as a result of physical urges such as needing to go to the bathroom
