Thanks...

For this year or semester I would like to give thanks to a few people who helped me out during school. The first people I would like to thank would be my parents for their support throughout the semester even though sometimes it becomes kind of annoying, but still I thank them. The second people on the thank you list would be my close friends who have  also helped every time I needed them. The third group of people I would like to thank are my classmates and teachers who have helped me with my work and studies and support my stupidity during the whole year. Most important of all I thank God because he has given me the opportunity for an excellent education, and a chance to go on to college and get a great job. I thank all those who have helped me during the year and throughout my life. I love you all.

Courageous

This movie has a very specific topic that can be seen throughout the movie and it is not something that should be ignored. The main idea of the movie is that fathers, or parents, should do their best, and not just be "a good enough father" as it says in the movie. During part of the presentation some statistics are given that when a father is absent in the life of a child he or she is a lot more likely to drop out of school, use drugs, and to follow the same destructive patterns of his or her father. Does this mean that if every father is present in the life of his child there would be a lot less crime in the world? Yes, that is exactly what it means. Does this mean that when we grow up and have our own children we should cherish every moment we have with them because those moments will mold who they will become? What do you think?

If I had a Time Machine

If I had a time machine I'm not exactly sure what I would do, but one thing comes to mind. I would travel to dates where mayor historical events happened or take a little excursion to witness things like the Sphinx losing its nose, or the tower of Pisa tilting to its side. Unlike the typical person who would want to travel to the time of the dinosaurs I would be so anxious to see Jesus do some of his miracles.I wonder if I could go back in time far enough to see the beginning of the universe? if that was ever possible that would be a milestone in my life. It would be quite a menace if the time machine ran out of energy during one of the trips. Having a time machine would be pretty frolicsome. Too bad time machines don't exist yet. I guess I'll just have to keep traveling in my mind when I try to go to sleep feeling as if I have some sort of insomnia.

Languages

Some of the languages used in the world today are languages derived from Latin, the language used by the Romans. These languages are quite comparable, a few of them are French, Italian, and Portuguese. Each of these have a different version of speech and writing. Yet if one ponders enough one may come to ask why these languages are different even though they come from the same roots. That is because each of them has a milestone which marked drastically their development altering its growth as an individual language. All though for some people some of these languages might seem like oddities they are beautiful languages and they are worth learning.

Values

People say that young people have lost many of the traditional values of the older generation. This does not matter, because the old values have no relevance in the modern world. We need to develop a whole new set of values. In what extent do you agree or disagree?

This is a statement found on the internet belonging to a TOEFL practice test. The first time I perused over this statement I completely disagreed. The values found in society are of non changing character, and they are always present. Those that do not have many of the values of the older generation tend to turn and be invidious, although many believe this to be objective. The values of the older generation are as important now as they were in previous generations, and many accuse modern society for the loss of these important values when in fact this all starts at home. It is very important that the loss of many of the traditional values is mitigated before these values are completely lost.

Step by Step

For those who like to entertain themselves with some sort of culinary art here are the steps to a dessert I learned to make when I was little. The recipe is not an excerpt from any cooking book, it was taught to me. There is no name for the dessert so I can not give you one, simply enjoy the facile to create treat. The ingredients needed are a bar of chocolate, preferably dark chocolate (as much as you want), corn flakes, and some honey. First you must put a pot on the stove to heat up. Then you add the chocolate and stir it around the pot until it is completely melted. Next you add the corn flakes and move them around until they are entirely covered in chocolate. This is when you add the honey but only if desired otherwise you can discard it as an ingredient. When adding the honey one can add the desired amount being conscientious not to add to much. After stirring the contents of the pot to the point where everything is covered in chocolate you can turn down the heat a little, while you recover those paper cups that have been picking up dust in the drawer or you can just use a cookie pan. Pour the contents into the cups or onto the pan and stick it in the freezer. Now all you have to do is wait for a while, probably a couple of hours and then you can take your treat out of the freezer and enjoy it.  

Bible: Fiction or Fact?

     "The Bible is pure fiction". That is what most people say when they are unaware of the veracity of the book and it is just flippant. Most people tend to elude the subject, but if one allows oneself to be immersed in the subject they will be found in quite a quandary. Archaeologically, there are many discoveries that offer colossal proof of the Bible's truthfulness. Many of these discoveries were found in the Middle East, mostly where Israel is now and where Egypt is. All of these findings prove that the Bible is not fiction, but pure history and pure fact.
