This play was the Geronimo, and it was used after they obtained a safety on the Buffalo Bills. After they received the kickoff, the Titans tried a lateral that got messed up and turned into a handoff then a lateral. The receiver then ran the ball all the way back for a touchdown. The Titans then won the game. The score was 22-16. Tennessee then went on to win the next two playoff games and land in the 1999-2000 Super Bowl or Super Bowl...

...information sharing have broken long-standing barriers once separating countries and cultures. As a result, diversification is being experienced throughout our neighborhoods, schools and places of work. People of different religious backgrounds and beliefs are now living in closer proximity. Christians must acknowledge and understand this shift in community demographics so they can respond accordingly. They must evangelize in selfless ways that are relevant and effective in order to fulfill their primary mandate set forth in The Great Commission. Jesus successfully bridged cultural gaps when befriending people very different than himself. Observing how he relationally encountered diverse people provides the necessary model for Christians. This is clearly seen in the lives of the Apostle Paul and Charles De Foucauld. By living his model of relational evangelism Christians can influence others. Relational evangelism, embodied by Jesus, is critical in reaching diversified communities. Globalization Globalization is a concept not easily defined. Thomas Larsson described it as being a “process of world shrinkage, of distances getting shorter, things moving closer.” Communities once separated geographically and culturally are more integrated today. In large part, this integration is the result of boundless communication as Larsson points out, “increasing [the] ease with which somebody on one side of the world can interact, to mutual benefit, with somebody on the other side of...

...Signature Assignment Essay, Gambling For a very long time gambling has been a topic that intrigues the mind and tempts the wild nature in every one of us. Whether it be playing cards at the casino, betting on the super bowl, or even buying a car, we all have gambled for one thing or another in our life. So what is it about gambling that makes it very secretly appealing to us? Is this a true addiction, and what might be the pros and cons towards gambling? These are some of the questions that I personally believe, need to be explored. History and Application of Gambling Where does it all truly begin? It is hard to decipher specifically when the first form of gambling was recorded however, what we do know is that the Bible contains references of gambling, one major one in particular was for the garment of Jesus during the Crucifixion. Fast forward through the centuries and many cultures that have had a run-in with gambling, and begin in our homeland of the United States. For as long as the United States has been around and leading into the present...

...This year, Mercedes Benz is offering a new four-door sedan known as the CLA. They released commercials targeted for Super Bowl audiences that really caught my attention. Neither commercial is about the car's performance, ride comfort, or its gas mileage. Initially, I could not understand my attraction to the first commercial but then it hit me… nostalgia. It was hard to put my finger on because that nostalgia lay wrapped in a superficial layer of modernity. I found it entertaining and found that it conveyed a message to me. As for the second commercial, I was left a little confused and not very impressed. For the advertisers to hit the mark so clearly on one commercial but miss the mark so widely on the second, did not make sense. The commercial titled "Soul" begins in the timeworn French Quarter café, The Napoleon House, which according to their website got its name when, "Nicholas Girod, was mayor of New Orleans from 1812 to 1815. He offered his residence to Napoleon in 1821 as a refuge during his exile." just before his death in 1821, "Napoleon never made it, but the name stuck"(Unknown 2013). The dining room is filled with the primitive, Candomblé rhythm of the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil", pouring in torrents from the early 1950s Seeburg Select-O-Matic jukebox, as the actor peers out a window admiring a billboard of the new Mercedes Benz CLA. Even though the main actor in the first commercial is a young man, I believe that it becomes part of the...

... he has led the previously 1-4 Denver Broncos from the cellar of the AFC West to the top of the conference with an 8-5 record. Nothing about Tebow’s time in the NFL has been expected and most can hardly explain what it is he is doing and has done to turn the Denver Broncos season around. There is only one thing that one can conclude from Tebow’s short playing career in the NFL, and that is that he is a winner. It is all he has ever done, through college and even now in the pros. Tim Tebow is not suppose to be where he is at now. He was drafted too high, and he was never supposed to lead an NFL team to a winning record in only his second season. The experts said that he couldn’t even be an NFL quarterback. They said he was the third best quarterback on Denver’s roster at the beginning of the season. Tim Tebow doesn’t care what the experts say, and is proving them wrong every week he starts under center for the Denver Broncos. A sub-par quarterback winning games is not the only reason Tebow has been getting all of the hype. Tebow is a devout Christian and takes every opportunity to share his Christian values. Some are offended by this, and others think that it just adds to the legend in the making that is Timothy Richard Tebow. Tebow is not a loser, he just doesn’t do it. In college he won two BCS National Championships and led the gators to an impressive 34-5 record as a starter. While at the University of Florida he also became the first sophomore to ever win the Heisman trophy...

...Works and Words: Why You Can't Preach the Gospel with Deeds And why it's important to say so. Duane Litfin [ posted 5/30/2012 10:43AM When it comes to the enduring question of word versus deed in the Christian's calling, the issue is always one of balance. How are Christians to think about the relative roles of words (proclaiming the gospel) and deeds (loving action) in what Christ has called his people to be and do? We need to set our scales to a balance that matches Scripture. "Balance" may sound simple, but finding and maintaining our equilibrium on such a complex subject is never easy. It's like walking a tightrope. Only one direction will keep us upright and moving forward, and any number of missteps could lead us to fall off one side or the other. Misguided claims abound. Here's a prominent example. How often do we hear these days, with passion and approval, the famous dictum attributed to Francis of Assisi: "Preach the gospel at all times. Use words if necessary"? In this saying, the word-versus-deed question rears its head, stressing in this instance how important it is for Christians to "preach the gospel" with their actions. Let the gospel be seen rather than spoken, it's implied. Words may serve a useful backup role, but our actions must take center stage if we are to make a difference in the world. At first blush, this sounds right. Except that it isn't. According to those who know the relevant history well—the Franciscans—Francis never uttered these words...

...my girlfriend at the time and she said hi to me very excitedly and my body filled with warm joy and excitement. It was a rush. Quickly I looked back to the camera and smiled. The flash blinded me for an instance and within that half a second I had realized that I was in fact dreaming. When I looked back to my girlfriend I realized she was actually now my ex-girlfriend. A dark wave of depression swarmed my insides. Once lucid I realized she had just broken up with me a few days before. At that moment I wished to die. And I did. My body, my soul started to fall down to the grass but fell through to an abyss of brief darkness to which I then woke up to my body feeling dead as I was sprawled out on my basement couch. This dream, I believe, is what induced my month-long episode of mania. During this same week, my best friend of 12 years told me he was going to be sent away to a residential hospital for 4-5 months with contact only through letters. So, I lost my girlfriend, best friend, and physical/mental health within one week. Mono of course made me miss school for a month so I also lost my chance for an advanced diploma. I was about to lose my future. These events that caused me to lose everything I loved. I cherish all memories before this point because after these events I lost yet another item of mine, my mind. I might’ve well been on acid for 30 days. I was hallucinating. I was hearing voices. My writings appear to be...

...The Pros of Advertising Food on Television There are several advantages to advertising on television. One of the main ones and the most obvious is visual. You cannot do this on the radio. You can advertise anything on television simply by having an ad run continuously even on just one station. With visuals, people can actually see what they are buying which is one of the main keys to selling your product. You can add audio if you choose too or play audio from the product if that is the type of product you are advertising. It is much easier to get your point across in television add than a radio add. Within the first few seconds of a commercial, you already know if you want to buy the product or not because they will throw everything they have at you within the first 10 seconds. The rest of the commercial is just icing on the cake. Depending on what you are advertising, you have many channels at your disposal. If you are advertising something sports related, you may want to run ads on ESPN, Fox Sports, NBA TV, NFL Network and so on and so forth. If you are advertising something music related, you may want to run ads on BET, MTV, VH1, and channels like those. If you are advertising something to do with cooking, you have a myriad of cooking channels to choose from. The list goes on and on. There is probably a station or two that specializes in whatever you are advertising. If for some reason you cannot get your ad onto one of those major networks, you can go the local...

...Question 1. What is it that everyone wants out of life? Answer: Happiness Lest we think that answer light or flippant, here is the second question and answer: Q. 2. Where is this happiness to be found? A. In God only. Here is a basic conundrum of life. We all by nature seek happiness. Some people think they find it in the things of this world. Late last night I was flipping through the TV channels when I happened upon a broadcast of Billy Graham preaching in some great crusade a half-century ago. As the camera panned the crowd, you could hear Dr. Graham say, “You will never find peace, you will never find joy, you will never happiness apart from Jesus Christ.” What a claim we make! I heard just that little snippet, but it stuck in my mind. What a claim we Christians make! We not only say that happiness comes through Jesus. We say that the only lasting happiness comes through him. We flatly declare that there is no ultimate peace or joy or fulfillment in sex or money or power or fame or degrees or buildings or gold medals or big estates or anything else that money can buy. Wealth can do many things, but it cannot buy peace of mind. Fame can do many things, but it cannot give us lasting joy. Power can do many things, but it cannot free us from guilt. Wealth cannot buy peace of mind Years ago we used to sing a little song called Happiness is the Lord. The chorus went like this: Real joy is mine, no matter if teardrops start; I've found the secret, it's Jesus in my heart...

...Running Head: RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION IN HIRING Religious Discrimination in Hiring Religious Discrimination in Hiring The initial concept for this paper was to research and examine reverse discrimination in hiring practices by businesses owned by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) in Utah County. I was trying to find research regarding LDS member owned businesses and preferential treatment to other LDS members when hiring. Through the process of this research I realized that my question was skewed, it wasn’t reverse discrimination at all. The population of Utah County consists of 97.5% members of the LDS church, and 88.7% of the population adheres to the LDS church (The Association of Religion Data Archives, 2010). In this context I will examine the preferential hiring practices of adherent religious member owned businesses when recruiting potential employees. Religion is a protected class, and discrimination of a protected class is a primary concern for the human resource industry. The importance of discrimination laws to human resources comes from a number of reasons: Out of motives ranging from concern for fairness to the desire to avoid costly lawsuits and settlements, most companies recognize the importance of complying with these laws. Often, management depends on the expertise of human resource professionals to help in identifying how to comply. (Noe, Hollenbeck, Gerhart, & Wright, 2011, pp. 72-73) A company found in violation...

...Branham Book 6: The Prophet and His Revelation 1960 – 1965 by Owen Jorgensen 1 Acknowledgments: In a project of this magnitude, it is understandable that I should owe many people a debt of gratitude for their help. First of all I want to thank Pearry Green for his vision, his encouragement and his efforts in publishing and distributing these books. I also want to thank Saundra Miles, David Buckley, Jay Weber, and the other people who spent many hours editing and proof reading the six manuscripts in this series. Their suggestions helped to make this a better book and a more accurate account of William Branham‘s life. Also, I want to thank Steven and Kathy Strooh, who put these books into audio format for all those people who would rather listen than read. I must certainly thank those people who have translated these books into their native languages: Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Russian, Norwegian, Hindi, and many other languages. Supernatural: the Life of William Branham took me 17 years to complete. I was 34 when I started and 51 when I finished. To put that into perspective, my four children were in grade school when I began writing this biography. By the time I finished, three of my children were married and I had nine grandchildren. During the 17 years I worked on this project, my life had its ups and downs. I want to thank everyone who prayed for me during those 17 years. Finally I want to thank my four children—Benaiah, Betsy, Shiloh and Hannah—for their...
