Oftentimes if it is a movie premiere, one could wait until the movie comes out on video until hosting the party. This way everyone cand watch the movie during the party. Features * When guests arrive and begin to stroll the red carpet to the entrance, simulate the paparazzi by having a photographer or several photographers shooting flash photos. This is a great way for guests to feel special while creating a memento of the party for a future scrapbook or to share with friends. Inside of the party, be sure to treat guests like royalty by offering gift baskets or swag bags full of goodies, similar to what is given to celebrities at award shows (albeit on a less expensive price scale). Include items in the...

...more so than overlooking the flawless, sugarcoated snow covering the Rocky Mountains. Oh, my, the aroma coming from that city- like freshly cut bouquets of flowers on a sunny spring day. Forget about having a foul taste because it will leave only an everlasting angelic savor in your mouth. Paradise to me is cheerful music and people also, it has the most beautiful scenery one can only imagine. All the masses of people would start getting together holding hands in a circle with Jesus in the middle and start singing in a heavenly language. The city is filled with thunderous sounds of every instrument one can imagine. Then, the angles pick up tambourines hitting them in rhythm along with the music, while people start dancing before the Lord. All of a sudden, Peter, Paul, Job, and all the great men and women of God lift up their hands and sing out with all of their capacity to Jehovah Jireh. A rainbow is prolonged across the land. It has the brightest colors of blue, yellow, pink, and orange. It is so beautiful; the majestic colors make one want to reach out and touch it. A huge waterfall sets at the edge of New Jerusalem. The water is so clear one could see a speck of dust traveling down to the bottom. As the water surges down to the base, it makes a voyage around the frame of the city. I can picture blankets of flowers all over the place for it illuminates the whole location and adds gaiety. Oh, how breathtaking the aroma is over there. The fragrance is a mixture of...

...get to own an expensive phone for the feeling high-class. I then thought about the poor and asked myself if what item they also really wanted. I realized that we should desire like the poor. When we gave the stampitas to the poor families in Laperal, they treat the stampitas like treasures, they put it in their hearts and sometimes kiss the stampita, and while I treat stampitas given to me like trash, everywhere you can find misplaced stampitas. I desire for a new and expensive phone while the poor desire for the Lord. Even if it is just a stampita of St. Joseph, they treasure it because the poor does not believe that an Iphone 6s can help them but only God can help them. All of us should desire like the poor. Not crying over worthless and really expensive things. Desire for God even if he is only a piece of paper with ink in it, desire for him because he will be the one to help you. Not seeing stampitas as mere pieces of papers but a passageway to praise the Lord. Dear Fr. Jimmy Marquez. Sorry for not passing my performance task about the insight from the visitation to Laperal because I was sick that that and I was absent and failed to pass it. I am also sorry because even though I am already late, I still failed to pass it earlier because I kept forgetting about the project. Next time I will pass my projects/requirements on time. Sincerely, Rafj...

...Cities and states were struggling with each other and feudalism was a cure to their problems. It was a way to gather and organize an army of men and keep them on hand to restore and keep order in the land. The feudal system consisted of vassals, someone who serves, arranged in a pyramid. At the base of the pyramid was the largest group, the peasants or serfs that provided food and services. Above them were the merchants and craftsmen that served the lords and knights. The knights and nobles served the barons, bishops, and other officials. At the peak of the pyramid sat the king, who ruled everyone. Although this “pyramid” may resemble the social and political structure of previous societies, such as ancient Egypt, the classes within the feudal system proved to be beneficial, almost reciprocal for all members of the society. The feudal structure began as a simple plan and grew more complex. When the feudal system began to form, small communities grew around a lord and his manor. The lord was granted land by the king. The lord then owned and controlled all of the land and everything on it....

...Follow Jesus Wholeheartedly Luke 18: 18-27 August 10, 2014 Have you ever started well and gave up half way? Began something, put your best foot forward, but, didn’t complete it? I was a runner in high school. I ran various events, however, my primary race was the 800-meter. There were two of us in my high school who were pretty good at this particular race. During my senior year I was coming back from an injury and was very excited to begin the season after training throughout the fall and winter. I remember very vividly my first race of the year. My teammate and I were both scheduled to run the 800. Prior to the race, I went over to my teammate and said, “here we go! Lets get first and second!” For some reason in my mind, I was thinking that he would be first and I would be second. We started the race and I immediately got right behind him. I trailed him the entire way. From the beginning of the race to the end of the race, I followed him. We ended up being #1 and #2 that day and I was #2. I think back to that race today, all of the training, all of the effort and in the midst of that race, I didn’t give it my all. The gun fired and I was in the midst of the race, I didn’t have victory on my mind, I was willing to take 2nd. I was willing to run the perfect race until I got close to the finish line. Have you ever started well and come up short? Stepped out in pursuit of God’s best, but didn’t complete it. Have you ever settled for...

...the unknown is rife in Lord of the Flies by William Golding and “The Sufi Tale”. In Lord of the Flies, the “beast” or the “Lord of the Flies” represents the fear of the unknown, while in “Sufi tale” the watermelon is the symbol of fear. The boys in Lord of the Flies react almost the same as the villagers in “Sufi Tale”, they both cower and are afraid of this unknown. The settings of both stories are idyllic, but the fears have ruined the paradise by causing chaos. However the endings of both stories are entirely opposite due to the leaders’ solutions. Since the settings in both stories are both idyllic, lives should be easy, peace, and happy. “The Sufi Tale” happens in a small quiet agricultural village. Villagers use simple tools and have plenty of trees, fruits, and food. People there have happy lives. Although in Lord of the Flies, the boys’ plane crushed, the island is perfect just like the Eden paradise. The boys do not have to worry about food, because the island is full of fruit trees and small animals that they can hunt such as pigs. Also, the weather of the island is warm, so they do not have a problem about how to keep themselves away from freezing at night. Therefore the island is idyllic, even Ralph said “this is a good island” and “we can have a good time on this island”. Even though the fears of the unknown are presented in different forms in two stories, the chaos it causes does not change. Fear of the unknown is represented in Lord of the Flies by the “beast”...

...“Ang Lumang Paintbrush” is a well-known short film by artist Joey Velasco. “Ang Lumang Paintbrush” talks about how he, with a very old paintbrush, maximized his talents for the Lord. The artist is in search for the perfect man to paint for his painting, a remake of the famous painting “The Return of the Prodigal Son”. In the short story, the man, Mang Crispin, whom Joey Velasco has chosen was a bit cold towards him and Joey indeed had a very hard time putting up with Mang Crispin. One day, the Mang Crispin suddenly got sick, so Joey had to rush him to the hospital wherein several revelations surfaced. The doctor who took care of the Mang Crispin turned out to be his own grandson. To cut things short, it was a short mini reunion for both Mang Crispin and his grandson. What struck me the most about it is the fact that yes, the things God have provided for us may be old and useless already, but it is honestly up to us whether or not we maximize them. Here, the old paintbrush may be old and may seem useless already, but it yielded into something amazing, the painting. That old paintbrush made me realize that we all have a purpose in this world. God called us all for a purpose. We should never think that we do not have a purpose in this world, because indeed, we all have. I believe that God causes all things to happen for a reason. We may not know yet now what or why, but in His due time indeed, we are bound to know more about what He has in store for all of us. My life is a tough...

...If Martha’s friends were making fun of her on social media I would step in and help instead of doing nothing. I would step in and help because so I could help someone else who is in need, and to make a difference. I would step in because this is an act of cyberbullying that is not good and it can make someone uncomfortable about themselves and school. I would do this because no matter who it is, it is not right to make fun of anyone. One of the reasons I would step in and help Martha is because I want to help someone who is in need. If it was me that this was happening to I would be delighted for someone to help me with my situation. The worst thing that could happen is you get called a name by someone's “friend” calling you a name and it won’t matter because it’s not like you’re going to have a rumor going on about you around the school calling you a snitch. Why would someone else that calls you a friend talk bad about you behind their back if they are your friend. If I were in her situation I would want as much help as I can have to help me solve the problem. Another reason why I would help Martha out is so I can make a difference. I want her to remember years down the line that a young man that she barely even knew stepped in and helped in the situation. If I didn’t do anything I could feel guilty for not doing something for a problem that was right in front of me. If I don’t do anything or help the situation I wouldn’t feel bad because I tried to help, and even if it doesn’t...

...differences? The similarities between samurai and knights were greater, than the differences. This can be shown by looking at three areas social problems, training and armor, and code of honor, life, and death. The first area of important similarities was social problems. According to Document A social order in feudal Japan and Europe were very similar. In Japan they had emperor, shogun, daimyo, samurai, peasant farmers, Artisans, trade people, and merchants. The social order in feudal Europe is a pope, king, lord, lesser lords, knights, artisans/ merchants, and peasant serfs. The people that make this one of my similarities is the samurai/ Knights, the two merchants that are on the Social Order in Feudal Japan and the Social Order in Feudal Europe, Shogun/ lords, and then the last one is both of the japan and europe social order is the artisan. Also according to Document B the Samurai’s life was not all to him he was a big part of his lord's life and if he didn't obey his lord the samurai’s life was not the only one at disposal it was his family such as his kids and wife. These similarities are significant because in Document A and Document B both involve their social order in Japan and Europe feudalism. A second area of important similarities was training and armor. According to Document C Samurai’s and knight’s both had the same training such as in their childhood they would start to train around four or five. Then in Document D is about their armor and the goods of it and...

...the medieval model of government predating the birth of the modern nation-state. Feudal society is a military hierarchy in which a ruler or lord offers mounted fighters a fief(medieval beneficium), a unit of land to control in exchange for a military service. The individual who accepted this land became a vassal, and the man who granted the land become known as his liege or his lord. The deal was often sealed by swearing oaths on the Bible or on the relics of saints. Often this military service amounted to forty days' service each year in times of peace or indefinite service in times of war, but the actual terms of service and duties varied considerably on a case-by-case basis. Factors such as the quality of land, the skill of the fighter, local custom, and the financial status of the liege lord always played a part. For instance, in the late medieval period, this military service was often abandoned in preference for cash payment, or agreement to provide a certain number of men-at-arms or mounted knights for the lord's use.In the late medieval period, the fiefdom often became hereditary, and the son of a knight or lesser nobleman would inherit the land and the military duties from his father upon the father's death. Feudalism had two enormous effects on medieval society.(1) First, feudalism discouraged unified government. Individual lords would divide their lands into smaller and smaller sections to give to lesser rulers and knights. These lesser noblemen in turn would subdivide...

...Kadish there lived a distant relative, an orphan girl, called Aksah. Atzel was a tall boy with black hair and black eyes. Aksah had blue eyes and golden hair. Both were about the same age. As children, they ate together, studied together, played together. It was taken for granted that when they grew up they would marry. But when they had grown up, Atzel suddenly became ill. It was a sickness one had ever heard of before: Atzel imagined that he was dead. How did such an idea come to him? It seems he had had an old nurse who constantly told stories about paradise. She had told him that in paradise it was not necessary to work or to study. In paradise one ate the meat of wild oxen and the flesh of whales; one drank the wine that the Lord reserved for the just; one slept late into the day; and one had no duties. | Atzel was lazy by nature. He hated to get up early and to study. He knew that one day he would have to take over his father's business and he did not want to. Since the only way to get to paradise was to die, he had made up his mind to do just that as quickly as possible. He thought about it so much that soon he began to imagine that he was dead. Of course his parents became terribly worried. Aksah cried in secret. The family did everything possible to try to convince Atzel that he was alive, but he refused to believe them....

...Testimony: For Christian in general use the term "testify" or "to give one's testimony" to mean "the story of how one became a Christian"; less commonly it may refer to a specific event in a Christian's life in which they believe God has done something deemed particularly worth sharing. Actually, I have so many events in my life where God has done something to the faith I learned to exercise in every decisions I made. God has led me in times when I find the way so unclear that all I must need is God’s leading. These all started when I began engaging myself in missionary work. Since then when what is ahead is uncertain it became my opportunity to let God be in control. One of the best experience I had was the recent evangelistic meeting held somewhere in Capiz. I will not dig into the details of the whole crusade but prior to our arrival in that place. The evangelistic director gave us P8, 200.00 as our budget. This includes the fare and meal on the way. When I sum up the fare it would approximately cost us a minimum of 7,500. So what would happen to us along the way. Doubts crept into my mind and I immediately find a way to have someone in my team members to go to the director and ear out my “my” concerns. Deep inside my mind was the plan of giving up because of the budget. In addition, the place is an 11-hour hike mountain so where should I go if we run out of food. I was full of doubts and I didn’t even think of praying. All I had in mind was giving up. A week before...

We cannot bear the pain and loss Please--don't let this be the end." The Lord replied, "No it's time, For the loyal one to come. I sent him to watch over you And now his job is done." “I asked him to comfort you When you were overcome with fear. When you were sad and lonely He was asked to kiss away the tears." "I asked him to help you understand True forgiveness, love, and grace. I asked him to show you the depth of my compassion When you look upon his gentle face." "I asked him to bring you laughter And help all the pain subside. I asked him to guide and protect you And stay right by your side." "I asked him to give you what no man can When it comes to loyalty and faith. I asked him to give you courage When you have lost your strength." Lord, he was the most faithful servant And answered your mighty call. He gave everything he had To be a blessing to us all. His devotion cannot be questioned His dedication never ceased. He was faithful to the end Lord--you would be pleased. We thank you for the priceless gift You sent through our canine friend. Our hearts will long for his compassion Until we meet...

...trying to build a community and lifestyle we have designated people to help portray that better lifestyle but even they are corrupt. Such examples would be life leaders on campus (Mini Bible study leaders), RA’s (Selected few who are in charge of halls and making sure nothing is wrong and if assistance is needed you call an RA), and of course the Worship bands, prayer groups, etc. Each person goes through an interview process and within the interview process a question is asked. It stated: “How is your relationship with the Lord? Please give a paragraph description on how your relationship with Christ began, is growing and how you are showing his love to others?” Well wrote a testimony for this question and explained how my relationship with the Lord began, and etc. It was decent along with the other 300 people who were interviewed and hired for whatever position they applied for. Point being we have all failed at following in the footsteps of the Lord. I play the guitar for the chapel band, one of the worship teams and you think to yourself how someone can mess that up right. Well it is easy, for both the bands it was easy actually. The first month of school we were okay but then we became grumpy and irritated with each other, thought one band was better than the other, etc. Simple things like that, and as worship leaders of a Christian university...
