Week Two Reflective Journal
Psa 139:14(KJV) “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.” Our God is an awesome God for He has masterfully created His masterpiece when He created man.
Who would know better how our bodies are to function than the one who made them. When God designed our bodies, He designed them and formed our inward parts (Psalm 139:13) with its’ own personal biological clock. “Our bodies roughly synchronize with the 24-hour cycle of day and night by an internal biological clock called the circadian rhythm” (Myers, 2014, p. 93). This clock when undisturbed regulates many vital psychological processes but a very important function of this clock is to tell us when our bodies need to sleep and rest. When our bodies do not get the proper amount of sleep and rest the other body parts do not function well and could have some catastrophic consequences such as increased risk of cardiovascular problems, neurological problems, …show more content…

After reading the text, I got the understanding that these two concepts have some things in common and that is they both deal with our senses and perception. “Form perception, motion perception, and perceptual constancies illuminate how we organize our visual experiences. Perceptual organization applies to our other senses, too” (p. 241).
God has also provided His people with an internal voice, His voice which speaks through His Spirit, the Holy Spirit who dwells in us to give us discernment to recognize when our bodies are talking to us and informing us of what it needs, are you listening? Tick Tock the clock is ticking and now it is time for me to get some sleep. Good

After reading the Journals of both Robert Robe and Mary Stuart Bailey I have a better understanding of daily life, common struggles, and attitudes during the 1850’s while traveling westward. Robert Robe’s journal begins in May of 1851 and continues into June. Mary’s Journal starts April 13, 1852 with the last entry on November 8th. These journals clearly highlight the stresses that were developed during there travels. The traveler’s attitudes changed circumstantially as the uncertainty of their future unfolded, depending on the day they could be admiring god’s beauty, determined on surviving, or mourning the loss of their previous life, family, and home (Text 386, 387).

Kira Bender Mrs. Dafoe APEL: Period 4 15 September 2014 Bradstreet Rhetorical Précis In her poem, “Upon the Burning of Our House (1666),” Anne Bradstreet, the first female writer in the British North American colonies to be published, employs the capitalization of specific words and a shift in point of view in order to inform us of a situation in which her devotion to God was challenged and yet consequentially strengthened. Bradstreet opens her poem with the burning down of her home and the amount of fear it caused her. She then gives thanks to God, since she believes all things are his and he has the right to take what he wants.

“I have learned that the Father relentlessly works to reshape his blood-brought children into the likeness of his son...our task, however, is not merely to endure suffering, but to embrace it, find God on it and draw closer to him through it. Simply put, ‘There is no remedy for this darkness but to sink in it.” A quote from Bruce Demarest, found in his book Seasons of the Soul, discusses the three stages of spiritual development, orientation, disorientation, and reorientation. Disorientation is the stage where trials and sufferings are faced, but most importantly, a stage where we use our pains and sufferings to help us grow. Murray Decker explains disorientation as a stage of “lostness and dryness.”

If asked how is a person’s lifetime spent, numerous people would think of the times devoted to family. They may reflect of the years of gaining an education, or attempting to find a soulmate to spend the rest of their life with. However, we rarely consider the time we spend preparing our body to continue living our lives. Oddly enough, the time we allow our body to recuperate, through sleeping, is where we spend more than a third of our lifetime; this is equivalent to approximately twenty five years cycling through the stages of sleep, yet at some point in time we all have been deprived of some essential hours of shut eye (Altevogt and Harvey). Therefore, people, in today’s society, often complain of being constantly tired, yet many do not understand the stages of sleep and common problems that accompany it.

For this week I have been using Zotero to organize and look up useful academic journals to use for my three new citations. Combined with Zotero, I have also been using Ebsco to help find some interesting topics related to the setting that I wanted to focus my points on.

Everything went smoothly and efficiently with the combination of Ebsco and Zotero together.

it seems there are less hours in a day as life goes on but more to-do on the list than what is scratched out. In Heschel’s "A Palace In Time", obeying the Lord’s commandment to rest on the Sabbath is imperative for a good life. In a manner of speaking, our bodies are much like machines in the way that they fulfill our orders; we can compel our mind to fight off the sleepiness, to solve mental math, and to obey our commands to move our fingers across a keyboard. Similarly to machines, use does cause wear and tear but one of the biggest difference is that humans require internal rest which is why keeping the Sabbath holy contributes to the good life, “But an opportunity to mend our tattered lives; to collect rather than to dissipate time.” This is a time to catch up with friends and resolve our inner problems.
