...Infancy (0-2 years) I. Description of the Infant: I went into the daycare to observe a child . The child I chose to observe is named Jeremiah. Jeremiah is two years old. Jeremiah had light brown skin with short black hair. He also had big round dark eyes with long eyelashes. Jeremiah had little white teeth that showed when he smiled. He had a round face with plump cheeks. His ears were slightly big for his head, and it seemed that they slightly poked out. Jeremiah had long legs, short arms, and big hands with long fingers. Jeremiah wasn’t obese, he was actually quite slim, but he had a chubby little stomach. He looked like an active infant, and he also looked very healthy and strong. II. Physical/ Motor Development: 1. Describe the infant’s control of his/her trunk and upper body As I initially came into the daycare, I noticed Jeremiah sitting down on a chair eating lunch. As another child got closer to him, Jeremiah scooted himself and his chair over away from the other child. It seemed that he liked his space. After Jeremiah was done eating, he then went out side. He got up freely, pushed the door open just enough for him to squeeze out and continued walking out. This showed that he did have some slight upper body strength for his age. He is old enough now to have full control over his head and his neck, so for every movement he made, he had no problem moving around. 2. Describe the infant’s control of his/her arms, hands, and fingers Before Jeremiah was outside, he...

...Make No Excuse Jeremiah 1 Jesse We are skillful at the art of making excuses, aren’t we? “I don’t know how.” “I didn’t understand.” “I couldn’t find the right tools.” “I threw out my back bowling.” “I have a Doctor’s appointment.” “There’s been a death in the family.” “The hazmat crew is here and won’t let me out of the house.” “I have a relative coming in from Hawaii and I need to pick them up at the airport.” And, my all- time favorite: In the Christian world, we can find all sorts of excuses not to obey God’s voice: “It’s the preacher’s job.” “It’s not my gift.” “I’ve already served, let someone else do it.” “I’m too busy or too tired or too old or too young.” It has been said, “Excuses are tools of the incompetent, and those who specialize in them seldom go far.” Ben Franklin wrote, “He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.” Gabriel Meurier stated, “He who excuses himself, accuses himself.” Jeremiah had every excuse ready when God called him to be a prophet. His excuses are often our excuses for not heeding God’s voice when he calls. Countering each excuse was a promise from God. I. The excuse: The task is demanding Jeremiah was called to be “a prophet unto the nations” (Jer. 1:5), not a priest like his father and his grandfather. A prophet was a chosen and authorized spokesman for God who declared God’s Word to the people. We often think of prophets as people who can tell the future. But a prophet spoke messages to the present that...

...Idolatry means the worship of or giving reverence to anything or anyone before the true and living God. This includes the worship of idols that may replace the God of Abraham. God told Jonah to go to Nineveh and tell the people to get their act together because they were serving other gods. Jonah did not want to go in the beginning and went a different route. After going through a great ordeal for disobeying God, Jonah finally went and told the Ninevites and they repented and turned back to God and he forgave them (Jonah 2). When Jeremiah spoke to the people of Judah and Jerusalem about their false worshipping as their forefathers did, God basically turned his back on them when they cried out to him. He told them to cry out to the gods whom they worshipped gave incense to (Jeremiah 22). Isaiah told the people that they did not care who they took into battle with them to include their wooden idols. Isaiah let them know they were dealing with a god that cannot save them. The Almighty God had taken care of Jacob up to the present (Isaiah 45). In the book of Hosea the more the prophets talk to the people, the more they would go out and worship their gods .They continued sacrificing to the Baals and burning incense to the graven images (Hosea 11). Micah tells the people that God will cut off the carved images and the statues or pillars out of their midst. He also would destroy their cities and their Asherim. God would cut off their witchcraft, their horses and...

...1. I do have siblings, two older brothers one being thirty-two and another twenty-four. Luckily so far no one has been seriously hurt but my older brother Jeff dropped a big cabinet on his big toe while working at bed bath and beyond. He ended up shattering his toe nail in half and breaking his toe he couldn’t go back to work till three or four weeks later. My other brother ended up in the hospital for feeling light headed. They did a bunch of tests and three days later we found out the right side of his brain is underdeveloped and has to be careful not to over work himself. I’m not sure if I see an unreliable narrator or not. Sure we see a younger kid seeing his brother and father figure in the hospital practically dead. He might be making these occurrences up to help deal with this serious event he has just witnessed. “My father and I kept notes, neither of us aware that the other was doing it, trying to get down all of worth’s little disclosures before they faded” (Sullivan 49). By recording conversations he is having with his brother that also leads me to believe in a reliable narrator. 2. The two quotes that ended up standing out to me were “The upper one was still above the waterline” (81). “Gone” (82). It’s hard to image the water line being in your house. Your place of comfort and shelter just taking form you or from the other quote gone. Gives me chills just reading it, gone once something was there and now it’s not. The situation at the end is what I think is the...

...Isaiah and Jeremiah were both godly prophets, messengers of the Lord. Both were major prophets in the Old Testament, called to proclaim the will and word of God. Although each prophet lived a similar prophetic life, each spoke a different message. The life of the great prophet Isaiah goes like so. Isaiah was born unto Amoz. His name, meaning ‘Jehovah is Salvation’ was of great importance alone. He comes from a line of royalty. Isaiah married a prophetess and together they conceived of two sons, Shear-Jashub and Maher-shalal-hash-baz. The prior means ‘a remnant shall return’, while the latter means ‘speed the spoil, hasten the booty.’ In chapter one of Isaiah, we read that he received visions from God during the reigns of the four kings...

...For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope Jeremiah 29:11 There are times in life that it feels like the future looks desolate. This great scripture on hope gives encouragement on my life and reminds me that God is in control. I am here to influence you today that you and I both have bright futures ahead of us. There are times when we often go astray but God always steps in on time. We cannot take today for granted, for we not know what tomorrow holds. There is hope for every one of God’s children and I am here to remind you that he has plans for each and every one us. I always tend to look back at this scripture whenever I feel the need to give up. In the past, I’ve felt like I wasn’t going to make it and like I wasn’t strong enough. I felt like I wasn’t good enough for a successful future because of what I’ve been told, but then I started praying and asking God to step in and take charge. I then began to step back and let God do his works and once I made that major step, the LORD did exactly what he said he would do. Speaking on today would’ve been a nerve wrecking assignment for me in the past, but now that my spirit of fear is gone, I have the courage to do anything I put my mind to. My speaking goals is exactly what I’m living at this very moment. They are what I’m presenting to you at this very moment. I am a strong believer in hope and having a bright future. I do believe that public speaking...

...As a Christian, I know that I came from Jesus. In Jeremiah 1:5, Jeremiah describes an encounter with the Lord. Jeremiah writes, "Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I set you apart for my holy purpose. I appointed you to be a prophet to the nations." God formed me and created me because He has a specific purpose for my life. Genesis 2:7 says, “Then the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man's nostrils, and the man became a living person.” God created Adam, and from him He created Eve. I am a descendent of Adam and Eve, the very first creation of man by God. I am a child of God, created to work for His purpose. I am a sinner, because I am a descendent of the imperfect Adam and Eve who at first lacked the Holy Spirit. My purpose is to glorify God, and share His word with others. He has given me talents...

...shepherds and their flocks and certainly too bleak for a man to take his betrothed, who is pregnant, on a long journey for registration and taxation purposes. The Romans were too smart to force nations to register in the coldest months (Luke 2:1) and possibly precipitate an uprising everywhere. The decree from Caesar Augustus was for the world to be enrolled and not just Palestine. The world here would be all the areas Rome now controlled through the Pax Romana (Peace of Rome). Who tells you about December 25? If you said the church, you would be correct. And who tells you to celebrate Jesus’ birthday? The church – right again. This contradicts the plain evidence of the Bible. We are plainly told to celebrate His death and His promised coming again. This the people of God did in the Bible. I Corinthians 11:26 says: For as often as ye eat this bread and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord's death till he...

... A few weeks ago, I went on a mission trip with my pastor and his family. We went to Cairo, Egypt with a medical team from a small church in North Carolina. My pastor, Matt, Told me that he had a few goals for me while on this trip because I am interested in International Missions as a potential career opportunity. One of his goals for me was to share the gospel with someone. This usually doesn’t make me nervous, but seeing as I knew little to none of the Arabic language, I was very scared. With Matt by my side he told me that he would translate for me and that everything would be fine. A few days into the trip, had befriended the doorman at the church we were working with. His name was Samir, and he was a very humble and quiet man. He was very shameful of himself because of his home situation being poor and his clothes were never as clean as anyone else’s. Matt and I kept very close to him for the first few days and I decided that I would share my love of Christ with Samir. This is where my Friendship Evangelism strategy started. On about day 6 or 7 of the trip, Matt and I were walking with Samir on the way back from getting some desserts for the group. I was listening to Matt and Samir talk in this strange language that I knew nothing of. When we got to the church, Matt stopped right outside the door and told me that I was going to share the gospel with Samir. I got really nervous all of a sudden, to the point where I even asked him how I was going to start the conversation...

...Old Testament may be classed under the two following heads. First, those referred to in the four books of the New Testament, called the four Evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Secondly, those which translators and commentators have, of their own imagination, erected into prophecies, and dubbed with that title at the head of the several chapters of the Old Testament. Of these it is scarcely worth while to waste time, ink, and paper upon; I shall, therefore, confine myself chiefly to those referred to in the aforesaid four books of the New Testament. If I show that these are not prophecies of the person called Jesus Christ, nor have reference to any such person, it will be perfectly needless to combat those which translators or the Church have invented, and for which they had no other authority than their own imagination. I begin with the book called the Gospel according to St. Matthew. In i. 18, it is said, "Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When His mother Mary was espoused to Joseph before they came together, SHE WAS FOUND WITH CHILD OF THE HOLY GHOST." This is going a little too fast; because to make this verse agree with the next it should have said no more than that she was found with child; for the next verse says, "Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privately." Consequently Joseph had found out no more than that she was with child, and he knew it was...

...Charles faltered, he did not know whether to follow her or attend to the filling in and covering up of his mother’s grave. They needed to do that before one of the children fell into it and got hurt. He looked around for his brothers, knowing they would be the ones who helped him. Martha’s husband, Ollie Henley, died during the war, and although Nancy’s beau, Jefferson Aldridge was there, he would not be of any help. He was too highfalutin to do manual labor. Charles wondered how Jefferson was going to manage his plantation now that most of his slaves had gone. Charles saw Uriah and John, but they were still in conversation with neighbors and friends who had come to pay their final respects to their mother; he decided to sit down. He wanted to try to have a conversation with his mother, especially while no one else was around to disturb him. She had been dead for two days and had not come...

...footsteps were coming closer. I knew I had to get out of there fast. Looking desperately around, I finally spotted a small window at the end of the room, a beacon of light in the dark, rancid basement. I sprinted and leapt up to grab a ceiling pipe. Thankfully, the pipe was close enough to the window to allow me to swing my body through. My enemy was making his way down the hall, bursting open door after door. I needed to break through this window in two tries to make it out in time.

...favorite company until an investor went on the attack. by Suraj Srinivasan The Experts A Short-Seller Crashes the Party Guy Gresham, managing director, BNY Mellon Illustration: Maria Raymondsdotter Dan Mahoney, director of research, CFRA HBR’s fictionalized case studies present dilemmas faced by leaders in real companies and offer solutions from experts. This one draws on the HBS Case Study “Trouble Brewing for Green Mountain Coffee Roasters” (case no. 113035), by Suraj Srinivasan and Michael Norris, which is available at hbr.org. W hen the well-known hedge fund manager and short-seller Jeremiah Hughes first put Terranola in the spotlight, issuing ominous warnings about unsold products, a looming patent expiration, and flawed growth projections, the considered judgment of the company’s executive team was to do nothing. “I refuse to dignify this attack with a response,” said Henry Guillart, the CEO, after Hughes gave his negative presentation at an investor conference in New York. That decision turned out to have serious consequences. Terranola’s stock began tanking that afternoon, precipitating a slide that took the Seattle-based company’s reputation, employee morale, and ability to raise capital along with it. A month later, when Hughes spoke again about the company, everyone expected Terranola to counter. But behind closed doors, its leaders were torn: They realized that responding this time might lead to even more trouble...

...All That I Am by Josh Giles on Monday, March 12, 2012 at 2:28pm The future is bright. There is a plan for me, I know it. However, lately I have gone through the low country. It's eating me away, I said to God. It's rotting in my mind, it's like a cancer. Is there anything at all to numb the nothingness? I need a reason to breathe, it's eating me away. It nibbles at my brain, the question of my existence and this matter of pain. I shake my fist at the cosmos and my insignificance. I need a reason to breathe and it's eating me away. Save me from my rage and my humanity. I'm more nothing than being, is this my legacy? I feel it eating me away. All that I am, all that I want, all that I lack, PLEASE, come on and save me. My pal Edric Prim texted me a quote the other day that I’m trying to remind myself of, from Joel Osteen. It was, “don’t let your setbacks become your identity”. Amen to that. I don’t need to stay here in this state of mind. Nibbling at my brain, I truly think too much and I drive myself crazy. The problem is if I knew exactly how to make my brain stop eating itself away, I would do it. All that I am should be enough to overcome any insecurities that I may have. I’ve never felt like this before. My life has pretty much always been an open book so, here it is. There was a lot of pressure and things happening at once at the beginning of February and then they came crashing down when the one thing I thought I had to hold on to was gone. I never really had any...
