After Dark Research Paper

I went to the After Dark experience on campus in the bearcat arena. It had two good speakers. The event started with rapper KB who defiantly got the crowd hyped up for the night. The MC for the night was also a great public speaker. He even when announcing people he gestured. First, he will talk about this and then this and then this. Kept everything short and to the point. The first speaker was a former Northwest basketball player. He talked about how you have two separate sides of yourself. The smiling outside figure where nothing ever looks like anything is wrong. However, on the inside you are a complete mess and how you do not want anyone to see your mess of life. So then, he was very up front with the crowd and said that he did not almost

Life is messy and that is okay to show. I know my life is all over the place right now so that spoke to me personally. Trying to juggle work full time, being a full time student, and being a full time becoming wife is messy, and that I make messes every day. He did talk about the problem sequence though. He talked about the problems of your life getting messy. Then went on to the symptoms. All the way to the solution. However, it is not just the simple mistakes that makes your life a mess it is the sin that makes your life messy. After he left the stage, the MC came out again to introduce the next speaker the big man speaker. This speaker did not need notecards or did not even seem nervous. It was the most relaxed speaker I have seen in a while. This man runs a camp in Branson that helps athletes reach a bigger understanding to the holy faith. In the beginning, this man starts out with an attention getter. A kind of quick about me. Talked about his wife and five kids and showed a picture of his beautiful children. Then he starts on and on about how he grew up a Christian kid like most of us often do and how you seem to get into a

However, what about the guy that made the cross that Jesus was put on. Then tells the story of the roman warrior who made the cross. It really kept my attention because as he tells the story about what this roman warrior thought about Jesus he was chucking out the wood for a big log to actually make the cross himself. You could tell how hard of work that was but he never lost sight of what his presentation was about. After that, he talked about the deceptive imagery of Jesus being put to the cross. How the town flogged him to disfigure his face and body. About the thief hung next to him for a petty crime asking him to find him later. Talking about how powerful of a man Jesus was to take all this hatred and suffering for all of us. Talked about how he took our dead of death for us to give us less suffering. Then he talked about again the love he had for his children and that really spoke to me. After losing a child this fall the pain to lose a child is so raw because your heart grows in such a way for a child that you loved something so much, that you would do anything for this person. That is how Jesus or God felt about all of us. That he is a parent to
