    I must admit this has been a very difficult week; trying to manage my time, keeping up with school work, my job, and Church. It is not unusual for me to have to juggle many different tasks simultaneously, yet for some reason it seemed like an impossible feat this week. The more I tried, the more obstacles I encountered. When I thought I successfully overcame one, another stumbling block stood in my path. The reading dealt with two issues that helped me tremendously. Willimon talked about preacher

I will try and add my questions and answers at the end, and I hope, Dr. Coyle, that this is an all right journal entry for our first

    well. I devoured a big breakfast, my brother, for once, got out of the shower quick, and no major assignment was pending. Life was very, very good. Then life began to fall into oblivion. I saw on the board in the front of Mrs. Smith's room the journal entry for the day. It was about what would I write about in a narrative essay. Hope faded away. Somewhere on the planet a nuclear bomb went. An earthquake struck in some unknown place on the Earth. A volcano erupted on Jupiter's moon Io and killed a

    had become accustomed to representations of this amazing place, but had never taken in "the real thing." It was all so surreal, so wondrous, these impressions were unforgettable. A week into my trip abroad, here is what I wrote as my first journal entry: "I am for the first time in my life truly alone. Alone not just in the sense that I don't have anybody to rely and depend on, but in that I am in a country where I can barely communicate with anyone, and beyond that, I don't have a cultural clue

    Whiteout in Wyoming This article is a comical recollection of a young college student’s trip to Jackson Hole, Wyoming entitled “Whiteout in Wyoming”. He uses a journal entry structure and rhetorical appeals to enable his audience to clearly perceive his perception that Wyoming is white. Through his whole vacation there is snow everywhere, and he only encounters one minority, who I kind of got the feeling that the author didn’t consider him a “real” minority, or a minor enough minority. It

A conflict can be small, like the argument between Dally and Cherry at the movie theatre, or it can be bigger, like when Johnny got beat up by a group of Socs.

The reading this week paralleled my sentiments, regarding God, and going back to square one, which simply is the “word God.” And that’s exactly what I did this week, I went back to the basics. My supervised ministry efforts this week were pretty bland. I taught the computer class, with one very excited student, and I sat with my supervisor trying

    have always loved good stories, especially imaginative ones, and I must admit that The Time Machine has become one of my favorite works of literature. Along these same lines, I have to agree with what Michael wrote in the first part of his journal entry. I, too, am not a fan of overanalyzing works of literature. For me good stories are just that -- stories. Don't get me wrong, there are many cases where looking past the surface of a book is appropriate -- for example Animal Farm is obviously allegory
