“HE”
My Father is really great and the greatest thing about him is that he never boasts his greatness in front of me. He always carries the golden crown of simplicity and modesty. His mind is full of abundant knowledge and intelligence and heart is richly adored with infinite love and care for his beloved daughters. I have seen many people describe their father as an oyster who wears a hard and ugly cloak of calcium but from inside it is adorned with an elegance of a white shiny pearl which makes him a valued possession of this heavenly world. But I would describe my Dear Father as a fine being whose love exceeds the vast expanse of the mighty ocean, whose words are sweeter than the sweetest mango of the earth, whose companionship is as pleasing as the great Almighty’s company may seem to be and the one who becomes stronger than the strongest potential in this three dimensional realm and more severe than the most furious rain or storm when seeing his loved one’s in trouble. ‘The father’ according to me cannot be described by just referring a mere living or non-living creature. ‘Father’ isn’t just a person but is an incomparable ‘Power’ which God made to protect his beloved progenies. Most of the people think of it as a Father but we can think of it even beyond that. ‘HE’ can also be thought of as a well-wisher and a friend to share our sweet secrets, to play Uno or even video-games.
When it comes to my Father I totally agree with the concept that ‘Appearances are indeed deceptive’ because at a first glance he seems to be a rude, bitter and a nonchalant personality. But when one peaks into his heart full of affection, he will then witness a fountain of rich care and fondness which unfortunately flows within not without. Though it can’t be seen it can be certainly felt.
Now I would just like to make a humble appeal to my teen friends that our temperament may

...Will You Ever Give Me the Man of My Prayers? On April 23, 2007, I wrote the following in my beloved journal: Dear God, I want a Christian home. I want to raise a Christian family. One that goes to church on Sundays, is involved with the church, and prays together at night. I want a husband. I want a spiritual leader. [pic] Lord, will this ever be true for me? I want that man who prays for me, and I pray for him. I want a man that prays with me. I want a man that takes everyone to church on Sundays. Who’s involved with the kids at church. Who smiles because he’s drunk in love with YOU! Who relies on You. [pic] Lord, will this ever be true for me? I want a man who is unconditional in his ways (love, gifts, kindness, helping hand). Who doesn’t expect things in return – EVER. Who accepts the world as it is and doesn’t let it affect his walk with You. I want a man who wants to change the world. Lord, will this ever be true for me? [pic] I want a man that knows You!!! I want a man that will accept Your blessings even the small ones. A man that makes me feel like he can make a mountain out of a mole hill even if there is no dirt or rock to make one with. I want a man that is positive and understanding. A man that makes me push to be a better person. A man excited about life and looks forward to life after death. A man that has a spot in heaven and will help me in my spiritual journey. Because that’s what life is … a journey of grace. God’s...

...is: Name someone who inspires you, or something like that. It can only be 250 words, so I tried to keep it short. Is it cliche/cheesy? As an omnipresent force, my Dad symbolizes more than just a man who has brought me into this world. He is instead an emotion or energy that I can feel inside of me always. He is the constant reminder of my duty to uphold the morals of my family, and he is the motivation for accomplishment in my life. Though not with me in the physical sense, his contributions as an emotional force in the sharpening of my character has helped me grow as a confident young man. He is a man I can admire and a man I can wish to be, but more than anything else, he is a man that I can forever know will support me in all my endeavors. As I look forward towards the future I see him as a part of the greater meaning of my life; he will always be another influence in my decisions and a sign that I have chosen the right path. While others may pass through my life, the firm hand with which he guides me will be present always. | | Reply | 10-12-2004, 07:06 AM | #2 | marite Senior MemberJoin Date: Aug 2004Posts: 13,792 | Ilcapo: The response is far too vague; it does not even mention that your father is dead so that what you think is his inspiration is what you believe he would have told you to do, were he alive; this is unless you have been told specific things about him and are being influenced by what others say about him. I think, however, that you need to provide...

The Right One

...understand it? (Jeremiah 17:9). The heart is willful and is driven by its own agenda. It does not consider things rationally and intelligently it just loves to love! Therefore you have to point it in the right direction: "Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life" (Proverbs 4:23). Whenever you meet a man, you need to get clearance from God, check out his attributes, and then allow your heart to engage. Dating exists not for mating; it exists for collecting data. I believe that the biblical design would be friendship, courtship and then marriage. Friendship is two people walking together in agreement and accountability, learning and growing together. Courtship follows the mutual agreement to commit to one another exclusively - it is the decisive turning toward the agreed-upon goal of the marriage altar. It is a period of laying a foundation and preparing your life together after marriage. But dating? Well, if you do date, use the time wisely to gather these facts. 1. Check out the fabric. Is the person mate material? Does this man have an intimate relationship with the Father through Jesus Christ? Does he care what God thinks about his behavior? Is he accountable to God as well as another co-laborer in the faith? Accountability is an important factor. It is imperative to maintaining a committed relationship. Is your potential spouse a member of the same family - the family of God? You need to have common interests and values and...

This Journey We Call Love & Life

...Love and life Given the life that I’ve had over the past 25 yrs, I have done a lot, seen a lot & lived enough for any person my age. I haven’t always had the best love life, but I’ve had the most fun trying to have one. I went from that puppy love you have as teenager to a full on love affair with someone that I just can’t shake to save my life. If I would have known the things I know now back then, I would be somewhere else with someone else. This thing called love is very tricky. I started out as a teen with the man everyone on both sides of the family thought I would marry. We fooled everyone with our break up, even us. We were better off friends. Micah has a good heart, a good head on his shoulders & an excellent job, but that’s not what I was looking for or what I wanted. I truly couldn’t say what I wanted back then but I do know that good church boy was not it. So that ended & we both moved on with our lives. A few years later I met who I thought was the man for me. Donta was younger than me & he lived in another city. We went back & forth for a few years but that didn’t last. One very misleading night we decided to break away from the group & well one thing lead to another & I ended up with a very special gift. We ended up with a baby, we are both teenagers & we both didn’t know what to do with a baby. I found out fast just how hard it was to be a single mother. Donta wasn’t ready for this relationship or this baby, so he was not...

Sermon

... I was a runner in high school. I ran various events, however, my primary race was the 800-meter. There were two of us in my high school who were pretty good at this particular race. During my senior year I was coming back from an injury and was very excited to begin the season after training throughout the fall and winter. I remember very vividly my first race of the year. My teammate and I were both scheduled to run the 800. Prior to the race, I went over to my teammate and said, “here we go! Lets get first and second!” For some reason in my mind, I was thinking that he would be first and I would be second. We started the race and I immediately got right behind him. I trailed him the entire way. From the beginning of the race to the end of the race, I followed him. We ended up being #1 and #2 that day and I was #2. I think back to that race today, all of the training, all of the effort and in the midst of that race, I didn’t give it my all. The gun fired and I was in the midst of the race, I didn’t have victory on my mind, I was willing to take 2nd. I was willing to run the perfect race until I got close to the finish line. Have you ever started well and come up short? Stepped out in pursuit of God’s best, but didn’t complete it. Have you ever settled for less or given half of your heart? This morning, I want to take a look at following Jesus wholeheartedly. In my walk and relationship with Jesus, there have been instances where I started...

My Way a Discourse Analysis

...My Way by Paul Anka 1969; A Song Lyrics Analysis * Lyrics My Way by Paul Anka 1969 And now, the end is near; And so I face the final curtain. My friend, I'll say it clear, I'll state my case, of which I'm certain. I've lived a life that's full. I've traveled each and every highway; But more, much more than this, I did it my way. Regrets, I've had a few; But then again, too few to mention. I did what I had to do And saw it through without exemption. I planned each charted course; Each careful step along the byway, But more, much more than this, I did it my way. Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew. But through it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it out. I faced it all and I stood tall; And did it my way. I've loved, I've laughed and cried. I've had my fill; my share of losing. And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing. To think I did all that; And may I say - not in a shy way, "No, oh no not me, I did it my way". For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught. To say the things he truly feels; And not the words of one who kneels. The record shows I took the blows - And did it my way! * Theme The lyrics of "My Way" tell the story of a man who, having grown old, reflects on his life as death approaches. He is comfortable with his mortality and takes responsibility for how he dealt with all the challenges of life while...

Worldview

...My worldview is the set of beliefs about fundamental aspects of Reality that ground and influence all my perceiving, thinking, knowing, and doing (see What is a Worldview?). My worldview includes my beliefs about the nature and sources of knowledge (my epistemology), my beliefs about the ultimate nature of Reality (my metaphysics), my beliefs about the origins and nature of the universe (my cosmology), my beliefs about the meaning and purpose of the universe and its inhabitants (my teleology), my beliefs about the existence and nature of God (my theology), my beliefs about the nature and purpose of Man (my anthropology), and my beliefs about the nature of value and the value of things (my axiology). The general beliefs that are my worldview shape not only how I see the world, but also profoundly influence the particular beliefs I come to hold, the judgements and decisions I make, and all that I think, say, and do. My worldview is so fundamental to what I do, and indeed, what I am, that it would be intellectually dishonest for me not to offer it for examination. If you are to understand me and to understand what I say and do, you must know something of my worldview. So I set it forth for you here, not in the form of a lengthy argument, but as a set of assertions. I believe them to be true, but I leave it to you to reflect on them yourself and judge their validity. I am a Christian, and my worldview is a biblical Christian worldview. So I have decided to present it in the...

A Young Man's Thoughts on June 16th

...shot in the back as they were running away. [Readers Digest Illustrated History of South Africa, (1988: 440) and Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soweto_uprising)] The journey that the speaker is going to go on in lines 1 – 2 suggests a struggle and an ultimate goal to be reached. The journey has been planned as the speaker refers to ‘tomorrow’ in line 1. He then talks about the road ‘that winds’. This suggests many twists and turns in the journey, which in turn suggests that the journey will not be an easy or straight-forward one. The words ‘top of the hill’ suggest the end of the journey or the ultimate goal. The final goal or destination will only be reached by means of an uphill struggle. The word ‘only’ is used in line 3 – ‘I take with me only the sweet memories of my youth’. The speaker is ready for his journey and takes with him just what is important – his memories. His memories are his only link to the innocence of his youth, and he knows that the following day, his life is going to change forever – he will lose his childlike innocence and have to face an altered world. The words ‘my heart aches for my mother’ could convey various meanings. The first of these could be...

Biblical World Reflection Essay

...created in the image of God. The bible tells us that God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him (Genesis 1:27, NIV). God could have chosen any other creation to make in His image but He choose man. As we look further; 1 Corinthians 11:7, tells us not to cover our heads, since we are the image and the glory of God, we should never try to hide who we are and whose we are; we are the light to this dying world and should let our light shine bright (Matthew 5:14). Our light is forever changing, we are transforming from one degree of glory to another, all in the likeness of God (2 Corinthians 3:18). God made us in his image and he commanded us to multiply; Adam (the first man) had a son, Seth, and Seth was created in Adam’s image, and because Adam was created in God’s image; God’s image was in Seth and it continues to trickle down from generation to generation to generation (Genesis 5:3). We were born in the likeness of our parents, yet we bare the likeness of man from heaven (1 Corinthians 15:49). God’s image cannot be taken away from us, even in our sin. After Adam sinned, we lost our original righteousness with God (a spiritual death), (The Essential Element of Sin). Roman 5:12 states, “sin entered the world through one man and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned”. But we do not lose hope because just as one man caused us a spiritual death; God raised up one man, Jesus Christ to redeem us. Since we were raised up with Christ...

Worldview Essay

... My Worldview There are many worldviews. Mine is a Christian view. There is only one true God, He is the creator of all things He is a loving, and zealous God. He is forgiving. Genesis 1: 1-5 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said “let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening, and the morning were the first day. God is the creator of all things. God created the Universe, the World, and everything in them. God created man and woman in his image. God made Man, and Woman above all living things on earth. God so loved Adam (the first man) and Eve (the first woman) he let them name everything on earth. God had only one rule. Do not eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge in the Garden of Eden. The Garden of Eden was where Adam and Eve were created. In the tree of knowledge there was a serpent, the Devil. The Devil was Gods’ favorite angel, cast to Earth after a great war in heaven. The Devil tempted Eve, and she ate of the fruit from the tree of knowledge. After eating the fruit from the tree of knowledge, Eve convinced Adam to eat the fruit as well.

Second Chance

In life, every couple years or so, you reflect on yourself, seeing what and who you are versus what and who you wanted to be. I’ve never been where I should or wanted to be. I’ve made some mistakes, just like every other human being. What I’ve done in my short twenty four years of life on gods beautiful green earth has led me here. Lying on the edge of this cliff, with my neck and torso over this mountain top, blood slowly flowing up my shoulder and down my neck like a stream of interconnecting rivers; one river ending at my mouth forcing me to swallow my own blood, the others getting in my eyes and going throw my gaping nostrils gasping for...

The Use of Despair in the Poetry of Heinrich Heine and Ghalib

...feelings of the reader. At times, my emotions were at first lifted and then quickly let down by their writing style. In some poems, despair seemed to be all that there was for man. In other poems, despair was used to highlight the never-dying hope in man’s soul. This paper will look at how both poets used despair in different ways to comment on life, death and the nature of man. Heine’s poem "A Pine Is Standing Lonely" (Heine 616) symbolizes the despair that he sees in every man’s life. The trees in this poem represent man in two completely different situations. A pine is standing lonely In the North on a plateau. He sleeps; a bright white blanket Enshrouds him in ice and snow. (1-4) In the first two lines, I sensed a calm and peaceful place. The tree sleeps and is covered by a blanket. Lines 3 and 4 made me start to see the despair in the tree’s world. It is covered in ice and snow on a lonely plateau. It is rooted in place and cannot move. There is no escape from the isolation and cold. Heine is suggesting that this is the fate of man. The second verse brings us a different picture of man’s life. He dreams of a palm tree Far away in the Eastern land Lonely and silently mourning On a sunburnt rocky strand. (5-8) The last two lines paint an image that is totally opposite but still shows the harshness and despair of man’s` situation. The tree, man, dreams of something that cannot be. He is mourning to himself because...

Creating an Identity

...Creating An Identity In Dreams from My Father by Barack Obama he talks about his life experiences and how it formed him as a human being. The story also shows his interpretation of what a solid community should consist of, as well as how individuals should interact with each other within the community. Through out his life he was discovering who he was by new meeting people and trying new things. An individual’s identity is formed through life experiences and cannot be sustained because it is ever changing. A community is a group of people that are brought together by friends, family, neighbors, and people with common interests. Communities are important because it gives people a sense of belonging and being wanted. And in Dreams From My Father, those were the needs and values that Barack was searching for. Communities are sustained through shared values, trust, loyalty, and a sense of safety. In a community people have moral responsibilities to other people and the community as a whole. Communities have moral responsibilities to their individual members because they need to keep their community together. Sometimes you get put into situations where you want to look out for yourself rather than the big picture with the community. You have to be able to put others in front of you sometimes so that you can avoid these types of conflicts. My favorite excerpt from the text came when his father was insulted by a man who said that he would not “drink next to a nigger.”...
