...uses of Scripture in counseling? Scripture is the Word of God and is a fountain of wisdom. In the book of Hebrew says “the word of God is alive and active.” The most important therapeutic uses of scripture are: when personal problems arise, for example when there are feelings of guilt, anxiety, when there is suffering, trauma, stress and depression. Another therapeutic use of scriptures is in interpersonal conflicts, for example resentment family issues, marriage issues. Another important therapeutic use of the scriptures are when unfortunate events occur, for example the loss of a love one, financial problems, crisis caused by catastrophes. According to McMinn (1996) some counselors advocate using Scripture as a Therapeutic intervention for recovery groups with codependence problems, to help couples recover from sexual affairs, in child therapy using Narrative therapy and cognitive therapy using Scripture memory and meditation. In the book of Timothy, Paul says: “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work”. In the book of Philippians 4:8 say “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable if anything is excellent or praise worthy think about such things.” What are some cautions or possible negative impacts regarding the use of prayer...

...Lines 1-4 In the opening stanza, the speaker directly addresses the psalmist. He begins by dismissing the psalmist's sad poetry, and he rejects as dangerous the psalmist's notion that human life is a meaningless illusion. If one accepts the logic that life is just a dream, he cautions, one's soul will not merely sleep, but die. On the surface, human life may appear futile, but the speaker contends that it is actually this sense of hopelessness - and not human life itself - that is the illusion. Lines 5-8 Longfellow uses the second stanza to build on the ideas of the first. Because the soul lives eternally, the speaker reasons, life must be real. Note that in the first line there is a caesura, or break, after the word "real." This caesura forces the reader to pause, thereby emphasizing the idea that life is real. These lines are an allusion to the Bible's book of Genesis, where God says to the fallen Adam, "dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return." In Longfellow's poem, the speaker is asserting that although the mortal body will die, the soul is exempt from death. Lines 9-12 The third stanza introduces the central theme of the poem: the purpose of life is not to experience pleasure or sorrow, but "to act" - to perform the deeds that will improve the condition of mankind. Note that by this point in the poem, the speaker has ceased to address the psalmist; instead, he is directing his remarks to mankind in general, as is evidenced by his broadly inclusive use of...

...hard to comprehend the dynamics of a particular company and how it operates because the way people are managed often fits together in a system. Success, such as that achieved at Southwest, can be sustained and cannot readily be imitated by competitors. It is easy to copy one thing but much more difficult to copy numerous things. This is because the change needs to be more comprehensive and also because the ability to understand the system of management practices is hindered by its very extensiveness. It is really interesting to see how the “soft” side of business really provides sustainable competitive advantage with all his examples and explanations and how hard it is to master these practices.

...tended to fall into the category of being ‘adequate’. Teachers are urged to make use of the various guidelines and aids to learning being developed by the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC), to help students be more comfortable with both language and literature, and to improve language through the skills acquired in studying literature. One resource is the syllabus document, in which there is a large section which helps with interpreting the syllabus objectives and requirements, and suggests a variety of activities which can help in developing the appropriate skills. Taken as a whole, there is some improvement in the performance, but individual questions as expected, show fluctuations in quality. Candidates seem to lack strategies to help them use their time and skills to the best advantage under examination conditions. At the start of each question there are instructions and cautions to which examination candidates need to be encouraged to give thoughtful and careful attention. The following advice was among several pieces offered to instructors in 2009, and is still very relevant today: Students should come to the examination with a well-rehearsed procedure for tackling each question…they should have deeply...

...At the start of the passage, the author describes the setting of the day.The “sun being very low” refers that daylight has already started to submerge as well as the light and warmth in the ambience is being engulf by darkness. The author uses the word ‘very’ as the sun is not casually slowly setting but is already entering into murkiness. The “suspicious ripple” personifies a feeling of a “thing” or two are lurking and gives the sense of dubiousness in the unforeseen horizon. The author uses the term ‘suspicious' the further intrigued the readers to read on and explore the upper end of the reach. With a hyperbolic sense, “caution” is undeviating towards vigilance of roaming around that precinct especially in dusk. ‘Caution’ gives a sense of relation on how the author has to be as careful as possible especially while carrying wood as the river was rather tapered and straight. The contrast of ‘high sides like a railway cutting’ are between high sides and railway cutting. ‘Railway cutting’ shows various trees lined up on both left and the right side. With the term ‘high sides’, the author gives an imagery of the trees on both side ‘traveling’ up a hill. The ‘river' is the passage resembles the hill. ‘Changes into stone’ gives a perception of the stillness of the trees at the area. The author hyperboles the scene as there were not even a single gush of wind. The place was somehow alive and asleep at the same time. Living and breathing but still not awaken and silent...

...“What I mean is...maybe it’s only us.” (Golding 89). Simon utters these words among the chaos of the beast’s questionability. Simon, the quiet, obedient boy, suddenly goes against all previous knowledge. This doubt is not welcomed by the rest of the boys, as he is shrunk back to his seat by laughter from the others. I believe Simon’s way of looking at the beast is quite important, and I truly think his is right. Another act of symbolism stood out to me on page 96, when the twins are in charge of keeping the fire throughout the night. “..But they could never manage to do things sensibly if it meant acting independently..” (Golding 96). To defy an earlier comment, I think Samneric are the true symbol of the people. Indicating they can’t act independently of each other perfectly describes the Republicans and Democrats...

...as they can often be self-prescribed by the individual (Balaskas 1990). The term complementary implies that aromatherapy should be used in harmony with more orthodox medical therapies, however in late pregnancy, many of the common ailments are discomforts which cannot be alleviated by conventional medicine. It is at this point that therapies such as aromatherapy really come in to their own. This essay will examine the use of aromatherapy during the later stages of pregnancy for minor ailments and discomforts, and as a preparation for childbirth. While some oils will be mentioned, space limitations prevent the listing of effective oils for all uses. These oils may be found from any aromatherapy text. The role of the midwife as an aromatherapy practitioner will be explored, as will aspects of safety pertinent to the use of complementary therapy. Serious complications of pregnancy will not be discussed here, as although some therapies may be useful at this time, medical advise should always be sought before commencing any treatment. Minor complications of early pregnancy will also not be examined as a great deal of contradiction exists within the literature regarding the relative safety of much treatment during these early months (Davis 1995, Burke and Chambers 1996, Balaskas 1990). Before embarking on any aromatherapy consultation with an existing client, it is the midwifes responsibility to be properly informed and receive adequate training and qualification (UKCC 1992)....

...graph my best attribute is ‘knowing about learning’. This means I know when I have learnt something when I can relate it to other things. My 2nd best attribute also relates to the top kab attribute. Some greens are middle of the road in terms of score which indicates I can improve on them. Like Knowledge Objects is only 10/20. This means I can sometimes picture objects in my head but that just sounds weird. However I can relate to that with basketball. I can picture a play in my head and explain it without having to write it down. Economic reasoning could also be improved. This indicates that I know something about economics without studying it. I predict me with a lot of other students will improve this attribute along with the other economic scores. What concerns me with the graph is that my memorising is non-existent which is true I tend not to do a lot of reading I prefer to listen in lectures then do questions and while doing those questions I go back and cover the course to find and answer. I’ll try and work on that this semester. Most of my caution learning habits are middle of the road which is where I guess they should be between red and green however repetition and learning by example are 11/20 which is probably a tad too high and ill keep my eye on those habits. The one caution that is up there is duty as motivation. I’m not worried by this only because I don’t let it affect my learning I just have that thought in the back of my head that most of us at a young age didn’t...

...and redefined. The Federal laws definitions, along with certain constitutional rights, are presenting those challenges which must be accosted in order to protect the rights of all Americans, be they for, or against the idea of same sex marriage. Equal rights for all people have been the motivation in most social movements in our nation. Prime examples include the Civil Rights Movement for African-Americans and other non-Caucasian citizens as well as the Woman’s Rights Movement for equality. These movements were spawned from groups of people that were left out of the definition for equality and treated as “second class citizens”. These challenges continue to this day, but the laws on federal and state levels protect these classes and to some extent, the homosexual community. Same sex couples are denied access to several government benefits such as: Social Security, Medicare, and disability benefits for spouses, military or public...

A. Plan of the investigation In 1915, the Lusitania a British Ocean vessel used to ferry goods and people across the Atlantic sea between the America and Britain was torpedoed and ruined by the Germans using U-boats. The vessel was highly accredited for its speed competence and its comfortable and expensive accommodation, as well as marked as the world’s largest vessel. Before it was sunk, it had left for Liverpool from New York and there were 1,959 persons on board, among them 159 Americans. During this period, the ocean passage had become perilous since the Germans, Americans and British attacked one another in the waters hoping to prevent war materials getting through. This resulted to the sinking of Lusitania ship when the Germans invaded the British waters with their submarines and hit the ship near Southern Ireland coast at Kinsale. As a result, this enraged and triggered the United State into entrance the World War 1. The purpose of this paper is to determine how the sinking of the Lusitania vessel prompts Americans to join and aid Great Britain and France (Preston, 78). Word count: 179 B....

...lively gathering, typically with drinking and music, is most people’s definition of partying. Besides the party itself, what else goes on? Do you get side tracked by the hundreds of beautiful women or hulking men? Are you the one who runs over to the food table and eat as much as much as you possibly can and somehow disappear for the remaining of the night? These are just a few of the types of partiers I have encountered over the years. Let’s go into a little further details though. You walk into the biggest party of the year and people are stretched from wall to wall. Out of nowhere, your lab partner from your chemistry class blows through the crowd to get to you. Her mouth is moving a mile a minute. You try to grasp every word she is saying, but the only words you manage to hear are project, due, and soon. You kindly tell her that your not here to talk about school, but to have a good time. You excuse yourself and continue to party, but suddenly this “project” is the only thing on your mind. Congratulations you have successfully met the student of the year. This individual makes their way through any party or gathering and kills whatever “fun” you were trying to have. They often are very persistent and over zealous about the topic of discussion. They tend to only come to one or two parties a year. If you do see them at a party near you, there is only one thing you can do: Avoid at all cost. After you get past the student of the year, you continue on your quest for a great night...
