...If I know what love is, it is because of you – Herman Hesse Till I loved I never lived – enough (Emily Dickenson The most precious possession that ever comes to a man in this world is a woman’s heart – Josiah G. Holland Love me without fear / Trust me without questioning / Need me without demanding / want me without restrictions / Accept me without change / Desire me without inhibitions (prohibitions) – Dick Sutphen There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness – Nietzsche Don’t you think I was made for you? I feel like you had me ordered – and I was delivered to you – to be worn. I want you to wear me, like a watch – charm or a buttonhole bouquet. Zelda Fitzgerald Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other – Rainer Maria Rilke There is only one happiness in life, to love and to be loved – George Sands My love for you is a journey; starting at forever, and ending at never. You are nothing short of my everything – Ralph Block All that you are, all that I owe to you, justifies my love - Marquis de Lafayette You are to me a delicious torment – Ralph Waldo Emerson I tell you I love you every day for fear that tomorrow isn’t another There is this place in me where your finger prints still rest, your kisses still linger, and your whispers softly echo. It’s the place where a part of you will forever be a part of me. – Gretchen Kemp I never, till now, had a friend who could give me repose, all have disturbed...

...Scottsboro Boys The Scottsboro Boys is known as a minstrel show. A minstrel show consists of comic relief, a variety of acting, dancing and music by white people in blackface or black people in blackface. This particular show consisted of black people in blackface. However, minstrel shows portray black people as dim-witted, lazy, and careless. The nine Scottsboro boys were accused in Alabama for raping two white women on a train in the 1930s. The landmark of legal cases from this incident dealt with racism, the right to a fair trial, and miscarriage of justice. The cases included an angry murder crowd before the suspects were charged, an entrapment, a completely white jury, and rushed trials. Throughout these trials, the boys received very poor legal representation, and even though there was medical evidence to suggest that they had not committed the crime, eight of the boys were convicted. The youngest, Eugene was given a new trial because he was a juvenile. The other boys were held in Kirby Prison, having their case appealed twice to the United States Supreme Court. During the return of the case to the lower court, one of the girls, Ruby admitted to fabricating the rape accusations and explained that none of the Scottsboro boys touched her or her friend, Victoria. The jury still managed to find the defendants guilty. Another trial, with one black member within the jury, freed four more of the Scottsboro boys. Of those who remained in prison, one was shot by a prison guard...

It’s not toughness, vision, or industry smarts. It’s their emotional intelligence—a potent combination of self-management and relationship skills. Studies strongly suggest that emotional intelligence plays a far greater role than IQ in determining leaders’ effectiveness, and thus their organizations’ success. To increase your emotional intelligence, start by understanding the skills that define it. Then learn how to flexibly interchange those skills to meet the needs of shifting circumstances. Finally, use mood contagion (a powerful neurological process) to create positive chemical connections between your and your followers’ brains.

...Notes on Song of Solomon 2 0 1 4 E d i t i o n Dr. Thomas L. Constable Introduction TITLE In the Hebrew Bible the title of this book is "The Song of Songs." It comes from 1:1. The Septuagint and Vulgate translators adopted this title. The Latin word for song is canticum from which we get the word Canticles, another title for this book. Some English translations have kept the title "Song of Songs" (e.g., NIV, TNIV), but many have changed it to "Song of Solomon" based on 1:1 (e.g., NASB, AV, RSV, NKJV). WRITER AND DATE Many references to Solomon throughout the book confirm the claim of 1:1 that Solomon wrote this book (cf. 1:4-5, 12; 3:7, 9, 11; 6:12; 7:5; 8:11-12; 1 Kings 4:33). He reigned between 971 and 931 B.C. Richard Hess believed the writer is unknown and could have been anyone, even a woman, and that the female heroine viewed and described her lover as a king: as a Solomon.1 How could Solomon, who had 700 wives and 300 concubines (1 Kings 11:3), be the same faithful lover this book presents? He could be if he became polygamous after the events in this book took place. That seems a more likely explanation than that he was polygamous when these events occurred and just omitted reference to his other loves. Probably he wrote the book before he became polygamous. We do not know how old Solomon was when he married the second time. The history recorded in Kings and Chronicles is not in strict chronological order. The Shulammite was probably not Pharaoh's daughter in view...

I would also like to thank Ms. Jhazmyn Reyes, my English teacher, for making me do this study because of this experience doing a thesis, it would be a big help for me when I get to college and do another thesis a my requirement. Thank you, for the time you spend to teach me how I will do this step-by-step and for the patience and effort you have exerted every time I will ask questions. To my family, for supporting me in everything I do as long it is in favour of the Almighty God, for being my strength and inspiration, and for teaching me what is wrong from right. God blessed me with a good family so I can be a good person and be a responsible steward of God. ABSTRACT Most students’ performance is affected by family issues, peer pressure and the environment of their daily living. So I decided to have my topic “Fourth year students’ performance in relation to their family issues”. I choose the fourth year students as the respondents of my survey because I think their age is the right age when people have experienced hardships and hindrances that affects...

The Church's Mission and Ministry: A Recovery of Balance IV. Divine-Human Synergism in Ministry Footnotes Bibliography I. Introduction The Issue In Context The Church In this series of conferences begun last year, we are in process of reflecting on the direction and focus of the ministry and ministerial training in the Church of the Nazarene as our community of faith moves into the twenty-first century. We have attempted to approach our task from two complimentary perspectives, caricatured last year as the "field" of hands-on work and the "realm" of reflective inquiry (although I think there are serious problems inherent in such an artificial dichotomy of responsibilities). -1- From our initial attempts, it has become obvious that we face a multiplicity of issues in such an endeavor. The range and diversity of these issues arise partly from the variety of theological, historical, and practical concerns operating with each of us as individuals and partly from the assumptions and perspectives imported from particular arenas of ministry. One common element that keeps reappearing in various forms is the issue of the nature and mission of the Church. This issue is not unique to our enterprise in these conferences, as the new eleventh Article of Faith on...

Days of Heaven on Earth AUTHOR'S PREFACE Most men hesitate to speak of their own spiritual experiences. They are deterred by the fear of making "self" too prominent, or are ashamed to confess how much practical unbelief and half-hearted allegiance to their Lord exist in their lives. The writer of this book knows his own unworthiness; but he humbly believes that he also knows something of the worthiness of an All-sufficient Savior. The manner in which this knowledge came -- through an apparently trivial incident -- is itself remarkable. The immediate result was a joy which no bridling could restrain. But whenever this Victorious Life was spoken of, requests were made for "something in print." After much pressure from many directions, and with much hesitation on the part of the writer, he ventured to put...

...The Hunger Games: Action-film feminism is catching fire Lisa Schwarzbaum Burning up Jennifer Lawrence’s Katniss Everdeen is both strong and vulnerable – a new kind of action heroine who has powered The Hunger Games: Catching fire to a $158m US debut. (Lionsgate) Jennifer Lawrence’s Katniss Everdeen is a new type of female action film icon, and moviegoers should be very excited about that, writes Lisa Schwarzbaum. As Catching Fire ignites on movie screens around the world, this is what we know about the 21st Century heroine called Katniss Everdeen: she is strong but also soft. She is brave but she has doubts. She is a phenomenal fictional creation, yet is real enough that moviegoers can draw inspiration from her values, her resourcefulness, and her very human inner conflicts. And she is played by Jennifer Lawrence, who appears not only to be handling her current duties as Hollywood’s finest model of well-adjusted millennial female stardom but doing so with charm. Everdeen and Lawrence: golden girls both. Personified in Lawrence’s lithe movements and cool, focused gaze, Katniss is a brave, resourceful and independent-minded fighter; but she is also a troubled and vulnerably guilt-ridden human being. Nina Jacobson, the producer of the Hunger Games film franchise, puts it this way: “She is a singular heroine in that the burden of survival weighs on her. She has a ton of survivor’s guilt. And she keeps surviving.” Girl on fire It is strange that behaving like a well-adjusted...
