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.

Compare and Contrast

Have you ever been grounded and felt like you were in jail? Although it might sound like a bit of an exaggeration there are many logical ways of comparing and contrasting both of them. The first similarity in both is that one is confined in a very rigorous manner to a small room. The difference in this case is that in jail you will be behind bars, but when grounded there is only a door which excludes one from the outside world. Another similarity is that in an arbitrary way the people in charge hamper the few things one can do while suffering for one's deportment. There are a few more similarities and differences between being grounded and being in jail, but they are a bit more drastic.

Cause and Effect

There are many actions in this world that lead to what we know as a cause and effect. This is similar to a domino reaction, but in a minute scale. One effect that is well know is that of noise pollution. This type of contamination is many times caused by the negligence of workers or people who start working on a proyect without the slightest sense of respect towards others. In some cases the immense duration of the contamination is frightful and it gets to the point were it is very irritating.

My encounter with Paul

Stranger: Hi
Me: Hi
Stranger: How are you?
Me: Fine thank you, and you?
Stranger: Fine, thank you. My name is Saul, in Hebrew that is, in Greek people call me Paul. What's your name?
Me: My name is Esteban. Wait... are you Paul from the new testament? The one who wrote all the letters?
Paul: Yes, Yes I am.
Me: Wow! Nice to meet you! I've read all your letters.
Paul: God changed me and inspired me to write those letters, like what I wrote for Timothy saying that all scripture is given by inspiration of God. I used to be very pernicious and detrimental before knowing God.
Me: Wow. I guess you also felt a lot of animosity towards all those Christians, right?
Paul: Yes, yes I did. To many people what I did when I persecuted Christians seemed like a great feat, but to others I was a caitiff.
Me: Wow, and after all that your conversion was something phenomenal!
Paul: You have no idea! I never thought that God could have used me to preach to so many people and in the way that he did.
Me: Yeah, I understand you, God used me in so many ways this summer that it's kind of hard for me to grasp.
Paul: I completely understand you, at first, it was hard for me to grasp as well, and it still is, but the closer you get to God the more you will see his influence in your life and you won't want to brake that awesome relationship.
Me: Wow, that makes me want to keep reading the Bible so that my relationship with God can get better and better. Thank you Paul.
Paul: No problem.
Me: I have to go, I have to get home, thanks for everything!
