A couple of years back I was out of luck, down and out and broke. My life had been rocked by the death of my blessed daddy. My faith really took a hit. At first I had nothing to count on. But that is when I realized that I was a point of decision. At that point in my life I realized that I was in the same boat Job was in. With all that happened to him there where times when he was tempted to curse God and die.
For me there where times (because I didn't understand the situation I was in) That I too was tempted to curse god and die as well. But there was a still small voice in my heart that beckoned me to take one more step. With each step the Lord showed me more and more. With every blessed gift with every hand out God showed me that I belong to Him. There where times people simply gave me money. Time when people who wanted to help but couldn't afford it, gave me the biggest gift they could by praying for me or like one guy let me work for him one day a week to have some sort of provision for the day.
But in it all I realized one thing that I wasn't dying. Trust me there where times I wondered about how God was going to handle my situation. But I say on this side of the trouble that God was with me. It took me two months to get focused enough on my life to realize that a change was in order. Then one night it was a Thursday night I asked God to give me a job so I could work my way free from this broken life.
in two days God answered my prayer. I didn't ask the woman but once she heard about my situation God compelled her to move. Then she compelled her husband to move. Come that following Tuesday I was employed. finally I could feel the hold of that burden loosen up. Has my trouble stopped NO. But in all the trouble I'm thankf...

...his friend that it is because God is with you that you have this opportunity to do so. It is God blessing the work of your hands my friend.I have seen times of want and I am so glad that I have the opportunity. I praise god that I can live to fight another day.
Just like Joseph, God blessed his work and it was this blessing that caught the eye of his boss. So lift your head up and know that God has given you the keys to open the next door through your talents HE has blessed you with. But when that door is opened will you boldly walk through it, or will you complain about having to twist the knob? Just remember that the biggest doors have the biggest knobs, and the bigger the knob the longer it will take to turn it. But through God ALL things are possible! That knob will turn provided you keep the pressure on it.
May God bless you today in Jesus' name I pray...Amen
Transcendental Philosophy One needs specific initiation into the classics of transcendental philosophy (Kant’s "Criticism," Descartes’s "Metaphysics," and Fichte’s "Doctrine of Science") because all say farewell to the common sense view of things. The three types of transcendental thinking converge in conceiving rational autonomy as the ultimate ground for justification. Correspondingly, the philosophical pedagogy of all three thinkers is focused on how to seize and make that very autonomy (or
away from his pages. Today we see the global commons on the brink of tragedy. We see environmental groups emerging, transcending national boundaries in ways completely unknown to Melville. Through a juxtaposition of then and now, we can trace the process of change from "Moby Dick" to a new global consciousness, through a re-imagining of the oceans. The stories we tell promote certain ideas and, in so doing, police social norms and construct common sense. At the same time, however, stories can reveal
Roles and Functions of Law in Business and Society Introduction William O. Douglas said, "Common sense often makes good law." Well that is what laws essentially are, rules and regulations that make sure common sense is followed. One could even say that laws are enforced ethics. Laws serve several roles and functions in business and society, and this paper will discuss those roles and functions. What is law? According to Reference.com (2007), law is defined as: "rules of conduct of any organized

Just as technology has modernized our daily lives, it has also improved and eased methods of gardening as time has evolved. Organic Gardening states evidence of gardening and horticulture recorded dating back to 8,000 B.C. “The staples of Native American cuisine, corn (maize) and common beans, are cultivated in the Western Hemisphere in 8,000
with on the spot. When my Dad was in this situation he always fell back on the core values that he had learned and tried to impress on us boys the importance of doing the right thing. My Dad didn’t read books about child-rearing, he relied on common sense values. My Dad didn’t know who Dr Spock was and would have thought he was an ass if he did. One school vacation I recall my father pulling me out of bed early one morning after I had been at a party at my brother’s flat at Okareka. He asked
In common sense thought, race is simply a fact: humans are not all alike, there are whites, blacks and yellows, maybe reds and browns too, and these different kinds are races, and that's just a feature of the way the world is. However, recent work on the concept of "race" shows that "race" and "race"-talk can be understood by analogy to what Foucault suggests about psychiatry and mental illness coming into being together: (1) it is now beginning to appear than "race" and racism came into existence
manage a verbal maneuver so simple in appearance, so breathtaking on reflection, that the common sense of mankind has plucked it out of the poem and made it a part of speech: 'A little Learning is a dang'rous Thing' (205); 'To err is Humane; to Forgive, Divine’ (525); `For Fools rush in where Angels fear to tread' (625). And several more. Next to Shakespeare, we may recall, Pope has contributed more to our common language than any other poet. It is a gift not lightly to be dismissed." One primary
construction of a body of a male (the penis and the anus- i.e no vagina) does not accommodate having sex with another male. Nor does the construction of a body of a female (no penis, a vagina) accommodate sex with another female. What is obvious to common sense is that the construction and location of specific sexual organs in the bodies of a male and a female accommodate sex between a male and a female and not among members of the same sex. Therefore, the conclusion once again is that homosexuality i
The Controversy Over Music Censorship Censorship in music is a very controversial subject in today’s society. What is considered a form of artistic expression to some is also considered vulgar and inappropriate to others. But who ultimately gets to decide what is considered vulgar and what is not? Who decides who hears what in the music industry? The RIAA is responsible for applying the Parental Advisory stamp on every album that is released in the United States. The FCC is responsible for making
Albert Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity The theory of Special Relativity, written by Albert Einstein in 1905, describes the laws of motion at velocities close to and at the speed of light. It was written to make the laws of motion consistent with the laws of electromagnetism. Special relativity makes two postulates: the laws of physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers and the speed of light in a vacuum is constant, regardless of motion. One of the consequences of these
Sight Versus Insight in Oedipus the King "Anyone who has common sense will remember that the bewilderments of the eye are of two kinds, and arise from two causes, either from coming out of the light or from going into the light,which is true of the mind's eye, quite as much as the bodily eye; and he who remembers this when he sees anyone whose vision is perplexed and weak, will not be too ready to laugh; he will ask whether that soul of man has come out of the brighter life, and is unable to

passage from Mirror for Man, Clyde Kluckhorn explains the similarities and differences between cultures by first defining the anthropological concept of "culture" and then explaining his definition. The definition Kluckhorn gives relies heavily on common sense. Culture is: "the total life way of a people, the social legacy individuals acquire from their group. Or culture can be regarded as that part of the environment that is the creation of human beings." By giving us this definition, Kluckhorn immediately
was calculated to increase neuron connections following the basic idea of the Graduation 2010 project. During the next 12 years, a research team at Western Kentucky University will follow up on this research in the hope that this project with a common sense approach will have a major impact on the students' achievement and capacity to learn. In Hungary, similar research was done between the years of 1969-1973 focusing on the effect of the Kodály Method in teaching elementary school children. Among
