...The plot of My Three Angels follows the Ducotel family and their general store that is in extreme debt during Christmas 1910, in the French Guiana. Coming from Paris, their evil-minded cousin, Henri Trochard, is planning to shut down the business and marry off his cold-hearted nephew, Paul; who the Ducotel’s daughter, Marie Louise is madly in love with. In desperate times the shops roof is in need of major repair so Felix Ducotel hires three convicts to fix it. These convicts overhear the problems of the family and plan to take matters into their own hands to assist them. Do the ends justify the means? This question exemplifies what the theme of the production is, it refers to the concept that it doesn’t matter how an idea is achieved but as long as you get the desired result it is a success. The three convicts murdered the cousin, just so he wouldn’t close the general store down; they also murdered the nephew because he was going to expose them to the police after finding out that they murdered his uncle. It didn’t matter how they did it, the convicts just had to get rid of the cousin and nephew no matter what the costs. The characters within this production are witty, ebullient and entertaining. The three convicts, played by Austin Blackburn, Trevor Miles and Emanuel Clark, gave each role their own personal touch. Austin Blackburn playing Joseph, shows the audience that he is content even though he strangled his wife. Trevor Miles, playing Jules, was an accountant before...

...2015 The Angel on My Shoulder My grandmother was a truly amazing person. She was compassionate, a great cook and the most loving person I know, and without any ego at all. In other words, exactly like me! Seriously, though, we have a lot in common. Among other things, I inherited her ugly feet, her love of lilies and her obsession with books. She preferred mystery novels and gospel music. While I shared her love of mystery novels I wasn’t fond of the gospel music. I remember having a sleepover at her house, which happened often when I was young, and waking up to the smell of pancakes and bacon. I looked forward to breakfast with my Gram, we would sit at the table, eat and listen to her gospel music. I may not have been fond of her music, I was a young teen after all, but that time with her on those mornings meant the world to me. The difference in music we had was only skin-deep That reminds me of one small difference between us: she was an amazing cook, while I still have trouble boiling noodles. Salmon cakes, pasta, and chocolate peanut butter no bake cookies were a few of my favorites. Everything she made was all so good. You could walk into her house and pass out from the smells alone. It makes me hungry just thinking about it. As we both grew older, we grew even closer. When my mom and I would fight, which happened many times, she always took my side, even when I was clearly in the wrong. She defended and protected me. I could count on my gram to...

...people would probably say that this is just the way things are. The eternal battle between God and Satan is constantly portrayed in movies and television as two equal forces battling over the souls of man. Satan is viewed as a fallen angel carrying a big hatchet against God. On the flipside, God is seen as the control freak who just sends His angels to do whatever He needs done. While this view can make a good movie, it’s contrary to what the Bible teaches. Unlike what pop culture would have us believe, God and Satan are not equal in their power and the battle between good and evil was won a long time ago. The Bible teaches that Satan is a created being. He was originally created as one of God’s angels, possessing all of the attributes of an angel, the power of personality and the freedom of choice. He let his pride get in the way of reason and he convinced himself that he was worthy of God’s throne and glory. He also failed to believe that if he committed a sin that God would punish him. He rebelled and God punished him by casting him out of heaven along with the angels who rebelled with him. In Isaiah 14:12-17, we are given some insight into the fall of Satan and his subsequent banishment from God’s presence. “You said in your heart, I will raise my throne above the stars of God… I will make myself like the Most High” Isaiah 14:13-14. Lucifer’s sin wasn’t just his pride but also his disbelief that God would punish any kind of sin. He convinced himself that he could really take...

...create memories, and to reminisce about all the times they had. It was always my wish to have both Mommy and Daddy in my life, but my story is different. At the age of seventeen my mother gave birth to a beautiful baby girl and named her Niah Dominique Cummings. Growing up, I knew for a fact that I had my mother in my life, but I hardly ever saw my father. I came to my senses that there was no father. My mother finally filled me in and told me that my father had moved to Atlanta, Georgia two days after I was born. Which basically meant he was not there the day I was born. It was heartbreaking to hear, but I had to face it. I didn't know what it felt like to have that father figure in my life. To have Daddy tuck me in at night, telling me every day how beautiful I was, to give me kisses on the cheek or forehead, to drop me off at school every morning, or to even tell me that I was his little princess. All I had was my mother, who had struggled since she was sixteen years old. The year before I was born my mother gave birth to a handsome, talented, intelligent, and smart young man. She named him Kazre Lamont Cummings. He is my older brother and is now seventeen years old. The year after I was born, she had another boy who was given the name Darnell Taylor Robert Jr., following after his father. At a young age my mother had to take on the full responsibility of two children, with nobody to help her but my Aunt Edith. She had no support at all from her closest friends, or even her...

Prepare, prepare! Prepare your hearts for Death's cold hand! prepare Your souls for flight, your bodies for the earth; Prepare your arms for glorious victory; Prepare your eyes to meet a holy God! Prepare, prepare! Whose fatal scroll is that? Methinks 'tis mine! Why sinks my heart, why faltereth my tongue? Had I three lives, I'd die in such a cause, And rise, with ghosts, over the well-fought field. Prepare, prepare! The arrows of Almighty God are drawn! Angels of Death stand in the louring heavens! Thousands of souls must seek the realms of light, And walk together on the clouds of heaven! Prepare, prepare! Soldiers, prepare! Our cause is Heaven's cause; Soldiers, prepare! Be worthy of our cause: Prepare to meet our fathers in the sky: Prepare, O troops, that are to fall to-day! Prepare, prepare! Alfred shall smile, and make his harp rejoice; The Norman William, and the learned Clerk, And Lion Heart, and black-brow'd Edward, with His loyal queen, shall rise, and welcome us! Prepare, prepare! Готовьте, готовьте железные шлемы войны, Ведите народы, что брошены в сфере огромной; Могучей рукою направит их Ангел Судьбы И вырвет из плена, во имя земли, уже чёрной! Готовьте, готовьте!

...would be great for Satan. The results of Eve’s sin were great and gave a big victory for Satan. Satan approached Jesus through the same three avenues of temptation as he approached Eve. (Matt. 4: 3; 5, 6; 8, 9). Satan was unsuccessful this time. God is the only eternal self-existent being that we read about which is represented in the Bible. Satan is not self-existent so he had to have a point of origin. God created Satan as a leading Angel who later wanted to become more powerful than God himself. Satan wanted to be worshipped. When reading the Chapter Ezekiel from the Bible it reveals more about a "king" who is obviously Lucifer. God did not create evil however he does reward and punishes according to our obedience. God created his angels and appointed arch angels who were highest of all angels. Since the arch angel had such high power they believed they could overpower God and went against God. The high power angel thought he could persuade Gods people into his world. Punishment came upon the angel and he was considered a fallen angel (Satan). God is the Father of all spirits including Satan’s. The Evangelical Dictionary of Theology, ed. Walter Elwell, 158 Grands Rapids, MI: Baker Book House Company, 2001 Satan has many limitations: He is not Omniscient, Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and he is not sovereign. Satan is powerless before the Son of God (Mark 3:27). We read in (John 12:3 and Colossians 2:14-15) that Christ defeated Satan and all spiritual forces of evil at...

...eventually cast Satan into hell. This could not be done if they were equal and opposing forces. Revelation 20:10 “and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.” It clearly states here the God will have victory and has the ultimate power over Satan. Many disagree on the origin of Satan. They say that God wouldn’t have created such an evil presence in this world if it was up to him. Others say that it is all part of Gods plan for His kingdom and for saving the lost. There are two views that take the stage in regards to Satan. One is the Biblical view and the other is the religious dualism. God gave all His angels free will because He didn’t want them to serve him because they were ordered. He wanted them to be in awe of Him and to want to lift up his name. Out of this Satan came, he thought he should be right up with God and should have the same power. God having the...

Understand Jesus would like your attention just like your parents would. When you say I love you, Jesus would like to hear that from us too. Our Father in heaven needs to hear this—just say I love you. Jesus, I love you Lord. Jesus can turn your life around. If you let him, he can turn your whole life around. Remember, just like Paul, Jesus knows what’s good for you. He will take a bad thing and turn it around for the good for them who love the Lord. A wake up call. And yes, God got Moses attention also. Exodus 3:2-10 “(2) And the Angel appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was no consumed.

...game. But my confidence took a blow the summer before I started high school. Suddenly, I had to try out for the team. For most of the try-outs and scrimmages, I had to sit on the bench. Not a good feeling. When you're on the bench you feel powerless. There you are, watching a game. Steps away from the excitement and action. Yet, there's nothing you can do but sit there and wait on your turn. Hope that your name will be called soon. It's frustrating. You know you can make a difference. You know you have something to add to the team. That you've too worked hard to acquire the skills you have just to sit on a stupid bench. Kinda like life, huh? Patience is a must in this game of life. Sacrifice and reward can sometimes be distant relatives. Maybe you have been in the game for awhile and suddenly, you're called out to sit on the sidelines. Maybe you've been sitting for some time now. Waiting on that prayer to be answered. Waiting on those words, "You're hired." Be encouraged. Good things really do come to those who wait. And sitting on the bench doesn't mean you're any less qualified or deserving. It means you just have to wait a little bit longer. (By Aqualyn Toi Jones) I copied this from the internet. It really spoke to my heart and I hope it will speak to yours too. Psalms 103 is my favorite psalm and perhaps it is yours too. (Psalms 103:1-5) A Psalm of David.

When he wakes up he has visited heaven and met Jesus, he also knows things he shouldn’t such as his dad yelling at god in the hospital chapel. He explains that he saw the doctors working on him and angels singing. My views on religion are very diverse. I was brought up catholic, turned Christian when my mother converted, and now I am unsure. I believe all gods are as possible as another. When I think of gods or the afterlife I picture the Christian version with Jesus, angels, cherubs, etc. Though I subconsciously hope for this outcome, I would accept any outcome be it God, Buddha, Allah, Zeus, Kali, or Osiris. I also see myself as powerless to do anything about what afterlife exists, but I’ll accept any of them. If I died and Buddha was the one to appear in front of me I believe he or any other god would be as forgiving and understanding to all of us. We may never fully understand how the afterlife is until we get there, later rather than sooner in my opinion. For now all we can do is have faith in something and act goodly towards others, as any god would ask of us. I truly enjoyed the movie and the paper for making me think of how I view...

...Are Angels Real? Read This Story and Decide for Yourself An Angelic Encounter This is a personal story that happened to me. Some people read this and say that they believe I was visited by angels. Others say it is bogus. Read it and tell me what you think. The verse that corresponds to this first story is: Hebrews 13:2 - Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. I believe I encountered angels one day while on a bicycle ride. I'm not sure if God was testing me as the above scripture makes clear, but I am sure the meeting with these angels was not of this humanly world. I ride a road bicycle quite a lot. I used live out of town so my rides either headed back into town or way out toward the middle of nowhere on the highway headed to the next town. The highways of New Mexico are usually sparsely traveled. On this particular day, I was battling a headwind and it was a bit of struggle. I couldn't wait until I got out around 10 miles because the 10 miles home would be fast with the wind on my back. About 3 miles from home, I came up to the top of a small hill and noticed a white mini-van about 100 feet down the other side of the hill. As I approached it, I noticed that the young man standing next to the van had taken a badly deteriorated flat tire off the van and had his spare laying next to it. There were rubber and steel belts all over the place as the blow out appeared to be sudden and dangerous. I stopped...

The angels fight, it's everyone against one angel. They cut off the wings of the angel, and after that they spot Penryn and her sister. And the angels take Paige and then they leave. Penryn was going to do everything to find her sister, and she did. She kidnapped the injured angel, she learned that the angel's name is Raffe. Her plan was to first take care of him, because he was in a very bad state, and then blackmail him into helping her find Paige, because she kept his wings. When Raffe was in a better state, he agreed to help her, because he had to get back to where Paige was held to get his wings sewn back on. He was going to take Penryn to the angels' aerie. He also told Penryn that he has no idea why he, and the other angels were attacking the earth. He said that Gabriel, God's messenger, had told them that God had wanted them to do it. So they did, and Gabriel was killed during the apocalypse too. They stumble upon dangers and difficulties during their trip to the aerie. They find bodies, dead bodies. Chunks of flesh has been...
