"And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly form him as one grieves for a firstborn son." Zachariah 12: 10 Jesus is very passionate. He was determined. We have to understand the future. One will come, one will love, one will die. He knew He would pay the ultimate sacrifice. Jesus was always passionate. The crucifixion was very graphic. We have to share this passion. Be thankful, He died for us. Someone is coming who will change everything, and that is Jesus. Life the passion in your heart and share it with those who need it. It is all changed when you follow Christ. Sins are painted over with the blood of Christ. Be passionate and be excited.

"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41: 10 Christ is our faithful companion and our faithful strength. He brings peace. Do not be afraid for there is nothing to fear. You have to be who God has called you to be. He guides and protects. There are some things we should be afraid of, but He is not one of them. In this scripture, Isaiah was talking about the Israelites. Do not do things that are not in the name of God. You have to remember your faith. God tells you what to do and how to do it, you just have to listen. Look to God to help you with your fear, put Him first. Do not be afraid, do not be fearful, do not be uncertain. Fear is a Satan. Do not be distracted or off balance - or we tend to fall away from God. When you are fearful, you move away from God. God is in control. He tells us to not be afraid. When you are most afraid, He carries you ...

Matthew 4 is one of my favorite chapters in the bible. It reminds us that we shall overcome all. Satan tempts, but it is up to us to resist those temptations. God knew the world was doomed, so He sent Jesus to be an example for everyone else. Jesus was driven to the desert by God to be tempted. Jesus was tempted during isolation. We all know it is hard to do good, and our culture seems to be in the desert right now. Society is struggling. We have to face temptation and overcome it. We need to feel a sense of peace to make America great again. You have to lean on God. Jesus left home, and he made a new home. He went to the people and he started a ministry of repentance. If you repent, you follow and keep your faith. So many people are in the valley of death. When the Holy Spirit says "move," you move. Christ called on the commoners because he knew they would do the work he needed done. Don't condemn others, encourage them. Christ is with you and you are never alone. It...

I really enjoyed it, but I think it should have been longer than an hour and a half. There is so much that took place, it just felt rushed. With that being said, it really seemed to follow the story line of Othello really well. The characters names started with the same letter, and I could point out the similarities. I swear I just want to stab Hugo, stupid steroid-taking relationship ruining jerk. His voice was so...interesting. It seemed creepier than the guy in Othello. I think it was played better. I kind of wish Odin had died laying next to Desi like in Othello, but I guess they had to change it up some. I was so confused because they live in dorms, but the dorms are houses and I guess they are co-ed? I'm not really sure. That part stumped me.

Because I never got the chance to publish this, here is my last interview: 1. Who/ what influenced your cooking? -Of course my mother had a big hand in how I learned to cook. I at least learned the basics of flavor schemes, and core safety procedures as well. Mother was more into cooking casseroles because we had a house full of people and it is the easiest way to feed a lot of people. After I was out of school, I tried being a server in restaurants, I continued that path for a couple of years. But I would see the cooks in the back of the house (BOH) telling jokes and having a good time, and I decided that cooking seemed like it would be more up my alley. I loved it! I continued to cook and tried my hand as kitchen manager for 11 years. I eventually went back to school, and started my new career, but I still love to cook. 2. What is your favorite thing to cook? And why? - Mostly I enjoy making pasta, specifically linguini in Alfredo made from scratch with fresh spinach and fresh sl...

Rachel Powell, Co-Director of Children’s and Youth Ministries at Salem United Methodist Church, enjoys cooking for her family of three. “I love having lots of time to plan and prepare big meals but I'll be honest, our lives are so busy and fast paced, I cook meals that are ‘semi homemade’.  I'll use a premade crust if we are doing chicken pot pie, or I'll use premixed frozen veggies instead of cutting my own peppers and onions for fajitas,” Mrs. Powell states. Even with an extremely busy schedule, the Powell’s still manage to have family meals. “We are a very busy family. My husband works in Jacksonville and leaves the house at 6:00 then doesn't get home until almost 7:00 most nights. We both work at our church as Co-Director of Children's and Youth Ministries, I have a small at home embroidery and monogramming business, and Raeghan is involved in cheer and kids church activities. I have to pre-plan all our meals for the week. I try to shop once a week to get ever...

Iago created too many issues that could have been avoided. But, why would Othello call his wife a whore instead of confronting her about this so called affair? And did Shakespeare intend to make Othello black? I just wanted to strangle Iago. Ever since the beginning of the movie I knew he was trouble.

Full time college student, Loren Newberry, spends every night cooking for husband, Mason. Diner time is special for the both of them. “Most of the time, it's just us talking about our day, and what happened. Sometimes dinner is pretty quick for me because I get home kind of late sometimes, and then I still have a lot of homework to do, so I have to eat pretty quickly. But we always eat together, no matter what. That's our time together,” Mrs. Newberry states. Mrs. Newberry’s mother instilled her love for cooking. “Mom always cooked. She always threw things together, which made me interested in cooking,” Newberry adds. Newberry is not a big fan of recipes. She mainly just uses ingredients she has in the house. “I like to switch things around. I really don’t like sticking to recipes. Going with the flow is so much better. I do have to say though, I am better at cooking than baking,” Newberry says with a laugh. Mrs. Newberry finds crockpot cooking to be the easiest way to prep...

Life is hectic for stay at home mom, Kimberly Newlon. Her hands are full with toddler, Raelee, and infant, Dean. “For my youngest, Dean, we usually just blend up veggies for him. We don’t do baby jars of food. Raelee will eat mostly what Patrick and I eat. But we let her choose also. I’ll give her too main things to choose from. I mainly have to modify meals for Patrick,” Newlon says with a laugh. “I like to help daddy cook,” Raelee says while munching on a cinnamon roll. Newlon plans meals two weeks in advance. “I like to do fried chicken, Salsberry steak, grilled sausage, mac and cheese, and pastas. Mostly, I like to do sausages though. With pastas, I like to mix in vegetable and they’re fast to make. The reason I do two weeks in advance is because it makes dinner easier,” Newlon explains. “When it’s the four of us, we eat at the table where we can not see the television. When we go to one of our parents, the dinners are organized. We usually eat wherever and it is usually chaot...

What an incredibly strange movie. I'm not sure how I feel about it. The Canadian accents really got on my nerves lol. I could definitely see the similarities to Hamlet, but I thought the acting was incredibly bad. I realize it is an older movie, but come on. I don't know what else to really say except for that it was really weird. My fiance was watching it with me and he goes, "What kind of movies are they making you watch? I just don't get it." Made me laugh so hard.

Life has been hectic for local attorney, Sandra Partridge and veterinary husband, Lewis. While Mr. Partridge does most of the day-to-day cooking, Mrs. Partridge creates the festivities for holidays. Their absolute favorite thing to cook meals in is a Griswald iron skillet. Due to picky eaters in the family, spaghetti is a very common dish in the Partridge household. While Mrs. Partridge nails the Esau’s creamed corn, cooked in the iron skillet, Mr. Partridge smokes fantastic Petit Jean hams. “We are party people. We love to throw dinners and parties. Crawfish boils are some of our favorites, as well as showers,” Mrs. Partridge explains. For parties, holidays, and get togethers’ at the Partridge household, buffet style is the way they like to go. “There are usually anywhere from fifty to sixty people, especially at Thanksgiving. We usually try to use fancy china, but sometimes we just have to use paper plates,” Julie Partridge, daughter in law, adds. “It’s usually a moment of chaos...

I had no idea that The Lion King was based off of Hamlet until I watched the movie. I started to put the pieces together. Scar kills Mufasa and sends Simba away, leaving Scar in charge. That is similar to what happens in Hamlet. Hamlet is away at the time that his father is killed and is unable to claim the throne. To me, Simba goes crazy because he lives for years with the guilt of killing his father, when he didn't even kill him. Then, Simba comes home to fight for the throne, and he wins. A happy ending is not what you see in Hamlet, but you definitely see it in The Lion King.
