...near the Eiffel Tower, in my curiosity, I asked Theo about it. “Umm, Theo.” I shouted but not too loud. “Yes, what?” he replied raising his right eyebrow. “About the ca-r...” I pointed where the car are. “Leave it there, they’re waiting for us,” he interrupted and pat my back. “Just wait,” he added as he put his two fingers in his mouth to whistle. Everyone shut up and all of their attentions are on Theo. “Guys and ladies, hmm,” he fix his bow tie as he clean his throat, “After this we’ll be going to our resort and continue this to there,” he announced as he held my hands. I’m still shaking. What will happen next? We walked going to the parked cars so I pull Carly harshly from the ground. “Carly?” I raise my eyebrows and look intensely in her eyes. “I don’t know, he didn’t tell me this, trust me he’ll do well,” she whispered. Huh! Why does Theo like surprises? He holds my hand tight as if he’ll never let go of it so is Carly’s hand. “After you ladies,” Theo pleased as he open the door. He’s a gentleman. I fake a smile to show I’m not nervous but ugh! “Thanks Thee-…,” Carly said in a sweet and seductive voice. “Come here!” I interrupted pulling her hands. Theo just smirked then I noticed his smoldering blue eyes and perfectly- chiseled jaw line and cheekbone flares. He’s hot; it’s getting hot in here. A guy dressed in a khaki trench coat paired with black jeans closed the door and he’s also the driver. He started the engine so I try to turn my head if the people are...

...pungent, musty, slightly stale smell that seemed to seep into every single pore in my face. The smell was as if skunk spray had expired many years ago and was overlapped by old milk and mystery meats. I was searching for the cause of this stench, where it is strongest is where I will find what i’m looking for. I need a Beast for the subject in my story and meeting face to face is the only way I can do it justice. I climbed over large rocks on all fours, like a jaguar stalking its prey, only slightly less graceful and fluid. Just as I was placing my hand on the grainy, dusty surface of the next rock I was about to conquer, I saw a foot. It was like any other foot except that it was beyond dirty and about the size of my entire body. I knew I had found him. I made my way along his leg trying to reach the head. It was covered in rags, mostly torn, old bed sheets from a nearby village. You could...

...http://vangogheurope.eu vangoghletters.org/vg/bibliography.html Biography of Vincent Van Gogh In Groot-Zundert, Netherlands on March 30th 1853 an artist by the name of Vincent Willem Van Gogh was born. His father Theodorus Van Gosh was a minister and his mother, Anna Cornelia Carbentus was none other than an artist herself. The couple was determined to have a child named Vincent Van Gogh as Van Gogh was born exactly one year after the still birth of his brother whom his parents also named Vincent. They seemed to have very few issues in this area though as they went on to have six children total. Van Gogh is known to have struggles within himself but I imagine from the very beginning that it would be hard to see your name and exact birthday (one year older) on a tombstone. Maybe this could have a factor or play some sort of role in the emotional pains experienced by him. At the age of 15 Van Gogh was forced to quit school and begin working due to his family's finances and struggles. He started working for his uncle Cornelis at his art dealership/gallery called Goupil & Cie which is a firm of art dealers is the Hague. Although Vincent Van Gogh dropped out of school he still managed to become fluent in French, German and English on top of his native language of Dutch. In June of 1873 Van Gogh continued his career displaying and selling artwork in London. He became very interested and involved in the English culture. In this period he is described in a way to sound happy...

This one name will bring millions of people together to worship the God who holds this name. This one name will be cursed by man. This one name will be the topic of many discussions and heated debates. This one name is the name under which man will be saved. This name is not just a name; this name is Jesus Christ, Savior of the world, Jesus Christ the Son of God. This name is the name by which millions of people live their lives on a daily basis. This name is the name in which thousands of churches love their community. Through the name of Jesus power is given to powerless, strength to the weak, love to the loveless and hope to the hopeless. II. Section One – Jesus is God Jesus Christ claimed to be God. So what? A man who walked on this earth claimed to be God. Does this claim make this statement true? The man who claims to be Jesus Christ would have to “demonstrate God-like moral attributes of holiness, love and goodness. He would also have to back up His claim with demonstrations of power, vast knowledge and omnipresence.” (The Deity of Christ). There are eight aspects to Jesus’ claim to this deity. The eight aspects are as follows: 1. Jehovistic I AM 2. Old Testament Adonai 3. Identifies Himself with God in the baptismal formula 4. Be one with the Father ...

...southern Netherlands. He was the oldest surviving child of Theodorus van Gogh, a minister of the Dutch Reformed Church, and Anna Cornelia Carbentus. Vincent was given the name of his grandfather, and of a brother stillborn exactly a year before his birth. The practice of reusing a name was not unusual. Vincent was a common name in the Van Gogh family: his grandfather, Vincent (1789–1874), had received his degree of theology at the University of Leiden in 1811. Grandfather Vincent had six sons, three of whom became art dealers, including another Vincent -referred to in the letters as "Uncle Cent". Grandfather Vincent had perhaps been named in turn after his own father's uncle, the successful sculptor Vincent van Gogh (1729–1802). Art and religion were the two occupations to which the Van Gogh family gravitated. His brother Theodorus "Theo" was born on 1 May 1857. He had another brother, Cor, and three sisters: Elisabeth, Anna, and Willemina "Wil". Vincent was a serious, silent and thoughtful child. He attended the village school at Zundert from 1860, where a single Catholic teacher taught around 200 pupils. From 1861, he and his sister Anna were taught at home by a governess, until 1 October 1864, when he was placed in Jan Provily's boarding school at Zevenbergen about 20 miles (32 km) away. He was distressed to leave his family home. On 15 September 1866, he went to the new middle school, Willem II College in Tilburg. Constantijn C. Huysmans, a successful artist in Paris, taught Van...

...variety of styles that he helped develop and explore. Among his most famous works are the proto-Cubist Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907) and Guernica (1937), a portrayal of the German bombing of Guernica during theSpanish Civil War. The enormous body of Picasso’s work remains, and the legend lives on—a tribute to the vitality of the “disquieting” Spaniard with the “sombre…piercing” eyes who superstitiously believed that work would keep him alive. For nearly 80 of his 91 years Picasso devoted himself to an artistic production that contributed significantly to and paralleled the whole development of modern art in the 20th century. Picasso’s art from the time of the Demoiselles was radical in nature, virtually no 20th-century artist could escape his influence. Moreover, while other masters such as Matisse or Braque tended to stay within the bounds of a style they had developed in their youth, Picasso continued to be an innovator into the last decade of his life. This led to misunderstanding and criticism both in his lifetime and since, and it was only in the 1980s that his last paintings began to be appreciated both in themselves and for their profound influence on the rising generation of young painters. Since Picasso was able from the 1920s to sell works at very high prices, he could keep most of his oeuvre in his own collection. At the time of his death he owned some 50,000 works in various media from every period of his career, which passed...

...Ashley Wade THEO 104 03D Reflection Paper April 14, 2014 For my Theology assignment, I will be reflecting on two topics that have given me a better understanding of what it means to be a Christian. Since I was young I have always been taught a basic knowledge of what it means to be a Christ follower but understanding the significance of being a Christian has deepened my knowledge even more. The two topics I will be reflecting on are the Fall of Man and Temptation. Both of these topics provide clear understanding on how and why society in today’s world is the way it is. They also provide hope in reestablishing the relationship between God and man. The Fall of Man: The fall of man marks the day where the relationship between God and man changed drastically. According to the Hutchinson Unabridged Encyclopedia, “the Fall of Man occurred in the Garden of Eden when the Serpent tempted Eve to eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge.” By doing this, Adam and Eve were forever punished and were no longer allowed to have the intimate relationship they had with God. In Genesis chapter 3 verses 15 - 19, God explained to both Adam and Eve that their curse on this Earth was to live off of the land, the woman would experience extreme pain during child birth, and they were to be forever banned from the Garden of Eden. Genesis is very clear on describing the effect Adam and Eve’s sin had on mankind. And because of their action, mankind is forever separated from God until He returns. What...

...The day that we brought home Watson was a very important, and joyful day for my family and I. We had been wanting to bring a puppy home for a very long time, but it was not until that hot, August day, when I truly realized that I would soon be able to bring home the dog of my dreams. It all started when I was about 5 five years old, when I first asked my parents for a puppy. Like any good parent of a five year old and newborn baby, they said no. Then, I followed up with the question of when can I get one, and they said when I’m ten. Flash forward a few years to my tenth birthday, I was for some reason convinced that I would be able to get a dog that year, but we didn’t. My parents told me that there was a lot of work that goes along with...

To be an effective leader you must have qualities such as confidence, being positive and experience, just to name a few (See Figure 1). Qualities such as these are what make leaders successful and effective. (Figure 1) Confidence is one quality that I believe is a must, if a leader isn’t confident in what they are doing or saying how can they expect people to follow or believe them? If the group doesn’t have confidence in the ability or knowledge in the leader there wont be any trust created. Without any trust formed between the leader and the people he is leading situations such as non cooperation, arguments or negativity...

...Biblical Worldview Essay THEO 104 June 17, 2013 Liberty University Introduction From the very beginning of time, we were all created in the image of God (Genesis 1: 26-28). Our very essence is love because God is love (1 John 4:8). Psychology is a nurturing and life changing career field which provides many opportunities to live a professional life that not only honors God, but shows believers and unbelievers God’s enduring love. Psychologists are organized professionals focused on healing human suffering. Being created in the image of the Lord, who is the Great Physician, gives us a supernatural ability to usher in healing in the name of Jesus. As a Christian psychologist, I will have the unique privilege of touching lives on a deep and personal level. Integrity and dependability are two characteristics that will enable me to serve others through my calling and glorify the Lord Almighty, who made me in His loving image. Integrity Integrity is the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles. To be morally upright describes our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. He committed no sin and no deceit was found in his mouth (1 Peter 2:22). I was made in the image of my sinless savior that spoke truth and kept His word. As a psychologist, integrity and confidentiality are paramount. According to the Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct of the APA, it should be the goal of psychologists to promote accuracy, honesty, and truthfulness in the...

...Leslie Murphy L26856270 Professor Kesler Theo 104 19- April 2015 Biblical Worldview Essay Introduction Mankind is created in God’s image and the effects that this will impact my career path as a psychologist will allow me to help others with their problems. 1John 4:11 “Beloved, if God loved us, we also ought to love one another.” I will also have to help others with their emotions. I believe God gives us certain gifts as believers to help others with their emotions, and help try to lift their burdens. Ephesians 5:15 “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise,” I believe God is the creator has all the power and has the answer for all problems. Summary I Example I: My first example is depression. Depression is one of the leading causes that people see psychologist. The word depression is not found in The King James version of the Bible. The Bible does use words like downcast, sad, forlorn, discouraged, mourning, or brokenhearted just to name a few. It is said that Moses, Saul, Job, and Judas Iscariot suffered from depression during certain times in their life. I know some practices and offices have a problem with talking to others especially patients or clients about religion. I believe when it comes to a topic like depression how could I leave God out. I believe God gives hope in the midst of depression. John 14:16 KJV “And I will pray the Father and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide...

...Name: Warren Brooks Writing Style Used: MLA Course and Section Number: THEO 201 D27 Short Essay on Inspiration and Inerrancy It was a routine morning; I woke up to the buzz of my alarm, had breakfast, and was on my way to the park where I have my daily Bible study. However, on this day, my time at the park did not go according to routine as normal. A jogger that regularly runs through the park suddenly approached me. He told me his name, but the next words that came out of his mouth were: “How do you sit there morning after morning and read that Bible. What drives you to do it, and what do Christians find so authoritative about it?” I didn’t respond right away, but after taking a few seconds, I concluded: The term ‘authority,’ when applied to the Bible, also has an application to words spoken or written whose accuracy has been established and whose information can consequently be trusted (McDonald). To say the Bible has authority means that these words have the power and right to command. This authority comes from God and we are meant to give our lives over to this supreme authority. Hence, we worship the God of these words, and not the words themselves. John 5:23 states, “He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.” This evidences that Jesus and God are equal. Since Jesus and God are one, this means that Jesus has this authority as well. Biblical inspiration is a super-natural influence of the Holy Spirit upon divinely chosen agents in consequence...

Christianity spread throughout the Roman Empire through followers of Christianity called Christians by preaching its messages. However, Romans were intolerant toward Christians because they refused to praise the Roman emperor and Roman gods, which harmed the protection of the Empire, and they were scapegoated for Roman’s social and economic problems. Some view the relations between Christianity and other religions as incompatible, but also shared elements with other surrounding religions.

...THEO 330-D03 Walls “Do you ever have the feeling that you are missing out on something important?” Ryan starts. “It’s Probably because you are.” (Loc. 247) Many of us are missing out on all God has for our life. What is keeping us from living the life God intends? Walls– separating us from the greatness God has destined for us. We get stuck plateauing in our spiritual progress, seeming to come to a screeching halt with our growth in the Lord. This is the issue Rush begins to portray in his book, Walls. Rush paints a wonderful picture of how we, as Christians, are to live authentic lives. He provides much Biblical insight in this book to help us break the walls holding us back. We might overcome these stumbling blocks by learning to trust and chase after our Creator with all we have. Only then, He will begin to unveil His plan and promises. One of the greatest quotes of this book, is Ryan’s definition of a wall. He describes them as, “an unhealthy mind-set that keeps you from living life as God has intended.” (Loc. 453) These bricks, slowly laid down over time, can consist of negative thoughts, sins, doubts, and bitterness against our God. There are no quick fixes in breaking these walls. He says that we need decision, self-control, and a plan in order to get through. In order to break the wall, Rush describes, we need to be able to recognize that the wall is there. Throughout the book, Rush does a great job and telling the people what to do. He really lays down...
