...meaningful lifestyle that leaves them with no regrets when they finally finish the race that is life. When Josh Holland, the youth pastor at my church, Arrow Heights Baptist Church, proclaimed that the youth group would be going on a mission trip to Charleston, South Carolina, I knew it was a chance to impact the lives of the people who needed help getting through rough spots in their lives or who simply needed a reminder of where happiness and lightheartedness could be encountered. At the time, I was thirteen, and I found the idea of traveling halfway across the country with some of my best friends to do one of my favorite...

...The Self Paper Trace Riley PSYCH/555 November 26, 2012 Gary McCullough, Ph.D. The Self Paper The concept of self is a multi-dimensional construct that refers to an individual’s self-perspective of how one represents his or her self. Self-concept develops from an individual’s viewpoint in relation to characteristics, such as racial identity or gender roles. For example, if a young boy develops in a family who favors baseball, the likelihood of the son playing baseball is strong because he may acquire the same likeliness for baseball as his peers. There are multiple factors that contribute to self concept and how it develops. Emotions play a significant role in how self-esteem develops and how self and behavior affects individual self-presentation. The purpose of this paper is to examine the concept of self, how self-concept develops, the relationship between self and emotion and how self and behavior affect self-presentation. Samuel Butler believed that a man’s work and his talent’s is simply a portrait of themselves. One may ask “Does self concept develop from individual behavior or the characteristics one may represent?” Self Concept A person develops self concept from a glossary in which he or she has lived. For instance, as mentioned above, the young son of a baseball player may distinguish a personality of a baseball fan or athlete because of his upbringing. Characteristics define an individual’s self-concept for example, his or her self-concept on cultures, races...

Brinkerhoff capacity and change in a Brazilian network John Saxby Pretoria, South Africa Discussion paper No 58A June 2005 European Centre for Development Policy Management Centre européen de gestion des politiques de développement Study of Capacity, Change and Performance Notes on the methodology The lack of capacity in low-income countries is one of the main constraints to achieving the Millennium Development Goals. Even practitioners confess to having only a limited understanding of how capacity actually develops. In 2002, the chair of Govnet, the Network on Governance and Capacity Development of the OECD, asked the European Centre for Development Policy Management (ECDPM) in Maastricht, the Netherlands to undertake a study of how organisations and systems, mainly in developing countries, have succeeded in building their capacity and improving performance. The resulting study focuses on the endogenous process of capacity development - the process of change from the perspective of those undergoing the change. The study examines the factors that encourage it, how it differs from one context to another, and why efforts to develop capacity have been more successful in some contexts than in others. The study consists of about 20 field cases carried out according to a methodological framework with seven components, as follows:...

...Worship Research Paper God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." John 4:24 The first thing the new worship leader needs to do is to get alone with God, fall on his knees and worship Him with all that is within him, as he saturates everything with prays. Prayer is essential for the true success of any worship leader. Maintaining the level of spiritual passion is priority number one. Without a vibrant relationship with God there is a lack of spiritual power to enable the worship leader to go beyond his or her natural talents and abilities. The private worship life of the leader makes all the difference in the world. Transformational worship leaders understand what it says in (John 15:5) “apart from me you can do nothing.” The priority of intercession on behalf of the previous fallen worship leader and those who were injured by what happened, will help usher in healing to the situation. As the new worship leader offers prayer regarding the frustration of the Pastor will serve like the intercession of Aaron or Hur for Moses during the battle Israel fought against the Amalekites in Rephidim in (Ex. 17). The Pastor of the church is like a Moses in the church and the worship leader is like a Joshua or an Aaron. The disgruntle members in the church need the prayer recorded in John 17:21-23. Jesus prayed, “That all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have...

...some people continue to question how His fulfillment of the law impacts the instructions of the tithe and giving found in the Old Testament. Some will look at the Paul’s teaching to the Corinthians as examples of a new rules for Christian giving. Was it Paul’s goal to abolish the concept of tithing or was he referring to some other form of offering? Using Paul’s instructions to the Corinthians this paper will argue that the New Testament offers new paradigm for giving separate from the Old Testament commandment to tithe. Historical Background Paul writes his second canonical letter to the church at Corinth in response to the report of Titus’ visit. Paul had spent a large portion of his ministry at Corinth, but in recently the relationship between Paul and the church at Corinth had been strained. After his departure from Corinth some problems and conflicts began to arise. In response to this Paul writes his first letter which was non-canonical to the Church at Corinth. During his ministry in Ephesus Paul heard of more difficulty and received a letter from the church in which they sought clarification to his instructions resulting the the letter now known as 1 Corinthians. Paul’s letter resolved some of the issues, however a new threat began to develop. Certain teachers calming to be apostles from Jerusalem started teaching and began to draw people away from Paul and the truth of the Gospel. This treat resulted in two very painful interactions...

...Cognitive Dissonance Paper Donnie Robertson is a man that has always worked diligently to provide for his family, and was a well-respected man in his community. The following is a narrative on how this dedicated and honest father, husband, and friend made resolutions based on the circumstances in his life that would encroach on his values, beliefs, attitudes, and morals. The areas of social, cultural, and spiritual impacts on his conduct will be discussed, along with his personal ethics. Furthermore, a reciprocal relationship between his attitudes and behavior will be addressed. Finally, it will be illustrated how Donnie applies cognitive dissonance theory to justify his actions. Describe Situation Donnie Robertson started working at one of the top automobile industries in his area right after college. He married his high school love, and over a twelve year period had three children. Everything in his life was perfect until economic issues caused the company to shut its doors. Although many in the community lost their jobs to, most came from wealthy families and did the face the strains of the loss as Donnie and his family did. Donnie was able to draw unemployment for a while but during this time his wife passed away from an aneurysm. What little he was getting from unemployment was not enough to cover the medical and funeral bills. After several months of trying to pay, everything off he ran out of unemployment, and he could not find work because he did not have...

...the purpose and expectations for journals. This week, you continue writing your journal entries. This journal entry is designed to help you document ideas about conflicts in literature, which will contribute to the information required for the Week Three Draft and the Week Five Literary Analysis. Recognizing conflict is essential to understanding the various commentaries literature can provide. In Journal One, you identified conflict as it might appear in our everyday world and from other sources. Now, consider the following definition of conflict and how it relates to literature from the textbook or the story/poetry links provided under the requirements for the Literary Analysis: Conflict is opposing actions, ideas, and decisions that hold a plot together...the struggle that shapes the plot in a story. Chapters 1-7 of our text contain a number of stories and poems, each of which rely on at least one conflict. Choose two of this week’s assigned literary works and write about the conflicts presented in each of them. In 250 to 500 words Individual versus Society --- “Still she had come down the road toward the big white church alone. Just herself, an old forgetful woman, nearly blind with age” (para 3.1,2) --- appears to be the main conflict in Alice Walker’s narrative ironically, yet metaphorically named "The Welcome Table”. The theme coming across is that of racism, correct me if I am wrong, with the imagery/ symbolism of “the big white church” versus the lone...

...ability by creating engaging and lessons and activities. According to Created to learn, it is important for a teachers to “use a variety of materials” (Yount 204). When I teach, I use a mixture of tools such as the white board, videos, skits, and art with mixed media. Yount also says that students should “satisfy their own curiosity” (204). In my lessons, I stimulate their minds and make them excited about the bible. Recently, I taught my student about the story of Noah and the ark. To illustrate the events, I draw the Noah and his family building the ark, the animals entering in, everyone else who was not in the ark drowning, and when the ark rested on the mountain Ararat. Afterwards, my students and I made arks out of construction paper and colored paper animals to put inside. In the Media Department, I help to make CDs for our special services like Youth Week in February and Convocation in late March. On top of making the CDs, I sell them to people who come to hear the message. Before I came to CD section of the media ministry, the CDs did not look very presentable because the information was hand written in permanent marker and...

...view as an organization with people who conduct charity work for the community and sometimes globally. This is a place of worship, singing, and building friendship with other people in an area. Religion is faith in a belief, which arrives from ideas and practices. Relationship with the divine for someone new to the faith and practice comes from self-sacrifice and faith. Relationship with the divine involves very personal communication, and following a new path. “Give up your cross, and follow me.” That was said by Jesus of Nazareth pertaining to the personal sacrifice that must come to pass if someone chooses Him. There are many of Christians live after Christ’s example on how to live. This type of relationship involves communion between church members, relying on each other for comfort and support. In Exodus 3:15 – The Old Testament: “When the Lord saw that Moses was coming closer, he called him from the middle of the burning bush and said : “Moses, Moses,” he answered, “Yes, here I am.” God said, “Do not come any closer. Take off your sandals because you are standing on holy ground.” In relationships, as husbands, and wives, they spend every day together. Whether it is sharing the chores or watching the children. Everybody needs space. Start by taking time out for him or her so that he or she can refocus, or catch up on a hobby. Sacred, (personal), space is where someone may reflect and think on important things for the individual. Incorporate a practice of sacred space and...

...atmosphere as most Catholics expected an era of political instability coupled with religious persecution as experienced with Queen Mary. Contrary to the expectations of most people, Queen Elizabeth I was less interested in zealous performances of her predecessors and believed in the interest of the majority. She wanted to be liked by the people of England, and this meant that she had to make her decisions right. She was being raised as a Protestant; she was well aware of the power struggles between the Catholics and the Protestants. She reinforced the Church of England for the people but did not do away with Roman Catholic. She chose to bring back the Church of England because she knew many of her people were hiding in exile. She wanted them to come back and enjoy the freedom of worship without fear. She also knew that by doing this, she will increase her popularity and most people will convert to Protestant. This was a peaceful strategy of making the Church of England more popular than the roman catholic. This paper seeks to highlight the religious Reformation under the leadership of Queen Elizabeth I and how her decisions affected the religious settlement in England Queen Elizabeth I: Statesman v. Rebel against Catholicism 3 3. Queen Elizabeth I and the Catholic Church During the Queen Elizabeth Ian Era (1558-1603), English Catholics were public enemy number one. Catholic priests...

...foundation. I remember being five years old and my father saying, “You are either working hard or hardly working.” It was not just expected by my family to work hard, it was demanded. If you wanted money, you went out and got it. I was a golf caddy for about eight years and still to this day go when I need some extra cash and also worked at a Chili’s restaurant throughout high school while playing two sports and a member of the Honor Roll. My siblings and I were never allowed to leave the house until our homework and chores were done. It was an expectation by not just my parents but my family as a whole to be hard working productive members of society who respected their elders and treated people with the utmost respect. Growing up it was expected to go to church every Sunday and thank God for what he has provided for you. There was no getting out of that, no way at all. I look back to when I was younger and just remember thinking how I thought church was stupid and meaningless. I now realize that I’m so grateful those beliefs of Christianity were instilled in me by my family. I can honestly say that it has helped me in tough spots and will continue to help me. Although I do feel that...

...choosing topics in class, we had discussed about a paper that a student intended to write about that was very broad. Does religion cause war? When we had to simplify that topic I wrote down something along the lines of why modern Mormons go on religious missions today? At home I had researched the means of why Mormonism is the only religion that continues to spread its works around and so on. But in most of my research a lot of associations of cults and secret groups kept popping up on my screen. Looking into these articles and conspiracies, I found small relationships of Mormonism and cults like forms of practice. What I found that really took my attention was the tie of Mormonism and politics. Fascinating conspiracies of cult-like ideas root from the election of Mitt Romney and Barack Obama. The issue of religion itself is included into the constitution and has many controversial issues within. My topic of religion matters because it is a very sensitive word that takes on a lot of meaning. People dedicate their lives for faith and frown upon certain human interactions like love and controls it. I chose this because I do not understand religion and for some reason it is wrong to question it. My basic research question stems from Mormonism and cults. Other key words when researching are religion and politics and cult definitions. From all of my research that has taken place already, I hope to gain knowledge on the Church of the Ladder Day Saints. I also want to know why...
