1240 Words5 Pages

That next week I met with my pastor, it was kind of a counseling session. I explained to him what took place and like I’m sure you are assuming he thought I was imagining things or at least exaggerating things. He actually did not denounce everything I was saying, but thought that most of it was unlikely. He of course directed to my heart. It is true that I should not respond in fear. However I continued to plead with my pastor attempting to convince him that this was happening and attempting to explain it the best that I could. But again, he wanted to direct me toward my heart and work on my response. So I left his office and did feel better and appreciated his counsel and friendship which I really needed at this time. So I left there thinking …show more content…

Not precisely first I have no genuine proof that they are troubling me as I explained and they recognize that. Secondly, that force is so disturbing that it makes it problematic to execute those types of actions for it literally confines you and aggravates you making it difficult to say or accomplish anything thus I am writing this 4 years later. So continuing with the specifics regarding them moving into my apt building I recognized it was them right away it was obvious when they began to execute these things that I have been describing waving their hands to confuse and drive me senseless and making loud noises. No exaggeration, every night I would hear really loud noises coming from upstairs on the side of me all around the building so loud and disturbing that it was sometimes almost unbearable. Keep in mind they are professionals and know exactly how and what sounds to make to aggravate, it the right way when I say it I am referring to the “force”. In addition, they recognize who they are dealing with they are familiar with the personnel meaning they know the person that they are attempting to lure in and aggravate all the more. To be more specific they know what could possibly make me more afraid, confused and difficult to function while one person may not be afraid as another person in one area someone else may be

(As I typed that last paragraph I choked up.) It is happy and sad memories, but I know in my heart I did the right thing to respect his wishes.

“Love Will Save This Place” Summary/ Response “One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish,” wrote Dr. Seuss. How this should’ve gone was, “one fish, two fish, no fish,” because that’s exactly where we’re headed if we continue plundering our seas and demolishing our ozone. In “Love Will Save This Place”, author and climate activist Naomi Klein explains the dangers of putting profit before pelicans and revenue before reparations. Klein exemplifies the harsh impacts of the fossil fuel industry by explaining the complex dangers to the food web. We all learned that the eagle eats the snake, the snake eats the mouse, the mouse eats the grasshopper, and the grasshopper eats the grass.

Showing me that the little things like that do not just happen and some people put a lot of work into making them happen. Wendell Baptist Church has also shown me just how great my life is and how the problems I think I have are actually not that big of a deal in the long run.

God and church activities have been a part of my weekly routine for as long as I can remember. If it is nine o’clock on a Sunday morning, I will definitely be in a church pew at Highland Baptist Church. My parents make sure that I understand the importance of going to church and trying to exemplify the spirit of Christ daily. I have been given the amazing opportunity to be raised on Godly morals in a strong Christian household. Because of this, God has always been the center of my life, or at least that is what I thought.

The wife was an associate pastor of a church, I don’t recall the denomination; however, when she found out that I attended a Baptist church she asked me “With the way things are changing, what does the Baptist church believe the Bible says about homosexuality”. I began to sweat and felt extremely uncomfortable because there were other co-workers around who are professing homosexuals. Working for a government agency, one must be very careful to avoid an Equal Employment Opportunity complaint. I took a deep breath and explained that first and foremost the Bible tells us (Christians) that [we] are to love everyone no matter where they are in life; secondly, [we] are not called to judge, that is God’s place; however, the Baptist church, myself included, believes that the Bible does not change and that God has and will always be against homosexuality. It was then that she disclosed to me that her 17 year old son just informed them that he is gay.

For my practicum course I was given the chance to be an intern the YMCA, as an intern I was given a temporary position with an emphasis on on-the-job training rather than merely employment. The Young Men 's Christian Association was founded in London, England, on June 6, 1844, in response to unhealthy social conditions arising in the big cities at the end of the Industrial Revolution. Every YMCA offers fitness and exercise programs specifically geared toward older adults, such as Active Older Adult (AOA) classes, land and water-based arthritis classes, Stroke Wellness and Silver Sneakers. The Silver sneaker refers to the growing population of Baby Boomers and, in some cases, seniors over the age of 65. A growing number of health insurers offer

Before I discuss my experience at Grace Lutheran Church I feel it would be beneficial to explain my Church Background, so that you can better understand my outsider view of the Sunday morning worship Service I attended. I have been raised in the Baptist/Southern Baptist church my entire life. My parents are from South Carolina, which is also where I grew up, so our idea of Church has always been a small community with a very relaxed atmosphere. I stopped attending the Baptists church when I was 16. I chose to join Bent-tree Bible Fellowship, a non-denominational church.

Growing up Christianity had always been part of my life and there was no question about it. My family was christian and the culture that my parents grew up in was heavily religious. However, I personally never had a true connection to Christ at a young age. To me church was the place I went to answer questions in Sunday School and win prizes for it, and that was how I saw it for a long time. It was hard for me to see it has more than that and from the outside I may have looked like the kid had a true connection with Christ by the way I talked in front of the church when my class presented, or the fact that I was able to answer most if not all the questions correctly.

I could not take it anymore. On cold February evening, I attended a Christian Bible study where I met new friends. They prayed for me and made me feel closer to God. I remember thinking that night, ‘these are the kind of people I want to be surrounded by’.
