Beowulf

Some "epic" challenges in my life are getting good grades, finding myself again and keeping my self from doing things I know I shouldn't such as telling lies or gossiping. I have many challenges, they may be nothing to some. But they are struggles for me.

I realize that I need to fight my own battles. I normally do, I never ask for someone to step in for me, but I will ask for assistance. I know in overcoming some of these fights I have to admit to myself that I am making mistakes and I have faults. After I admit something like that, I need to surround myself with people who can hold me accountable. I can then take up my sword and defeat these monsters, continuing on my path. I will hang these monsters head's up and show all, this is what I've done, this is what I have overcome and this is how I've grown.

Does God Love Me?

Is it possible for God, a being who cannot be in the presence of sin, to love someone who chooses to do wrong. A girl is out with her friends, she is trying on clothes, shoes and accessories. She later finds a pair of earrings in her purse he didn’t pay for. Is she no longer loved? The next time she goes out shopping her purposefully sneaks things into her purse. Now is she no longer loved? Some people would say that this girl is a sinner and now cannot be loved; others would say this is a mistake in her life, and her choice was wrong but this does not mean she is not loved. 1 John 4:16 says “And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelled in love dwelled in God, and God in him.” But Psalm 5:5 says that “The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.” So which is it, are we all loved, and He is discouraged by our actions, or are we all hated.

So does God love everybody? According to Dr. Robert Morey God does not. He says that God hates certain people like Esau and he loved certain people like Jacob. Others would disagree, and say Esau was hated for his actions, not him personally. A wise person once said “God does not hate you, but he hates what you’re doing. This makes sense because we all sin, weather we are following God or not. If we are Christian and sin, we ask God for forgiveness; therefore He cannot hate us, can He? Maybe he is just angry with what we do until we ask for our sins to be pardoned. It is hard to say whether we are loved or hated. We need to establish is God an angry God or a loving one? The answer is both! He loves us when we are good, and is stern with us when we are bad. Now we can answer the main question.

Personality

Your Type Is
ESFP
Extroverted Sensing Feeling Perceiving
Strength of the Preferences %
89 56 38 11

You are:
Very expressed Extrovert
Moderately expressed sensing personality
Moderately expressed feeling personality
Slightly expressed perceiving personality

I completely agree with these results, I am very sociable and like to do things such as shopping and going out with friends. (The mall is like my second home) I also judge and base things on how I feel. My mood greatly affects my day and weather I make good decisions or bad. The only one I don't quite understand what how I am perceiving because I try to not put my self into too many situations were I need to resolve problems. And when I am in a situation that calls for this, I don't feel inclined to improvise, but I guess I do seek alternatives. So I suppose me having a slightly perceiving personality makes sense.

I do believe that this test accurately portrays my personality and that it sheds some light on how I do things and take care of situations.

"Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's ok though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal."

Taoism


Well, I think Taoism is the lazy way of life. My knowledge of it is, Taoism is consisted of numerous teachings based on various revelations. And, in Taoism there is good in bad and bad in good. You need a little of one in the other. In Christianity there is a line between good and what is evil. And there is no middle, good and evil don't walk hand in hand. I like the way Taoists live there lives, its a very relaxed life. I think it's appealing to most people. Which is why I find it to be really popular, who doesn't want to live a relaxing life? In all honesty I would never say "I love to be busy and work for my whole life". But, I don't think life can be lived being lazy, so that's why as a christian I like to do things for others rather then be lazy. These are my thoughts about the Tao.

Koran

I felt the Koran was a very interesting read. It had many things to say against Christianity and the Jewish people. It had obscure views of women, which I thought was awful. Also the Koran was very demanding in what it said and it told you what to do and how to do it. Where as the Bible is instructing us, and it seems to flow nicely and make more sense then the Koran. I felt the Koran was a good learning experience, but I didn't make to much sense of it nor did I overly agree with what it had to said.

Camelot

Well what do I have to say about Camelot. It was pretty good for being a musicals.( I'm going to pretend I like musicals) I loved what the story was about, first it was love and then a sinful love. But it all ends up ok, it has to because it's like all other fantasy stories about princess's and prince's, the end is always happy it has to. (It's an unknown rule.)

What I think is most appealing about this story is that it's a fantasy and very few people dislike fantasies. It's the most common type of story and it's easy to watch and not say, "OH This could never happen." well of coarse not duh that's why it's called fantasy.

To make this movie one of my all time favorites would be to get rid of the singing, I can't be serious while people sing. But if I liked singing, if is the key word. (Sorry I can't be serious.)

All in all, good movie!

P.S I LOVE MOVIE DAYS!
