Reading Notes Part A

For this reading, I will be taking note on the Gospel of Mark.

John was a baptist who practiced in the wilderness, he wore the skin of beasts and only ate bugs and honey. Jesus came to John and was baptized by him. When he was being baptised the heavens opened up and the Lord showed his grace to John.
John was put into prison shortly after this.
After this Jesus began his journey gaining followers. He went to the land of Capernaum where he met a sick man. He was preaching the gospel when a man broke through the roof and was lowered down to him because there was no room to get in from the door. Jesus blessed him and forgave him of his sins. The man then took up the bed he came in on and walked out. The surrounding people were amazed. Jesus also ate and drank with sinners. He said He had not come to lead the righteous to heaven but the sinners away from sin. Jesus gained 12 followers throughout his journey and they were to be called his disciples.
One one of Jesus's journies he ran into a man possessed by evil spirits. He cried at the man's feet and prayed that God would free him from these demons. The devil then left the man and entered a nearby swine. Again people were surprised, and Jesus told them that this was the grace of God that healed this man, he told them to turn and praise him.
John the Baptist was put to death in the prison he was heald in. Jesus told of his practices and praised him for them.

The Coyote and the Snake Reading Notes

The Coyote and the Snake One day the coyote was walking along the trail when he heard a voice say Stop! The coyote looked around and he couldn't see anything. He disregarded the warning and kept moving. Once again he heard someone yell stop. He looked around again and he saw nothing until he heard a voice say "Walk over me, or move out of the way." The coyote looked down and found a snake in the path right below him. The snake said that he has been traveling this trail for years and he would simply not move. The coyote said the same thing and that he would simply not move. The coyote said he would have to keep going if the snake moved or not. The snake made the threat that if the coyote stepped over him the snake would have no choice but to kill him. The coyote didn't believe him and called his bluff. He walked over him and the snake bit the coyote. The coyote didn't feel anything and then mocked the snake. The coyote kept walking on and when he got to the...

Story Week 13 "Alice's Fall"

Alice looking down the hole Alice followed the rabbit until she came to a hole. She saw the rabbit jump down the hole and contemplated going after him or not. She looked back at her sister reading on the hillside and thought to herself, "There is no way I am going back to be that bored." So she got down on her hands and knees and peered into the rabbit hole to see what she could find. The hole was very dark so she squinted to see if she could see a clearer picture. She still couldn't see anything so she leaned in to see if that would clear up her vision. Once she started to lean the ground started to crumble out from under her. She started to push back to leave the hole but the ground just started to crumble more. Her hands slipped out from under her and she fell into the hole. Alice let out a piercing scream, then another, then another. She was frantically yelling due to the fear that she would splat on the ground. She just kept screaming and falling unt...

Time Strategies

Procrastination Graph Link Time management is something I struggle with in almost every aspect of my life. Whether it comes to assignments, gifts, dates, scheduling, and almost everything else, procrastination always has a hold on me. For example, I am writing this blog post almost one hour before it is due. Procrastination is in my nature, and it always has been. Thankfully I have people around me who keep me in check. In Caroline Webb's article How To Beat Procrastination , I saw that she spoke of the tactic of pre-committing, publicly. This tactic has helped me out greatly. Thankfully I have friends who want the best for me and know how capable I am of doing good work so if I tell them the priorities I have and the things I need to complete they often remind me to complete my work and stay on schedule. One of my main objectives in life is to surround myself with good people and I think that that has helped me a lot with the decisions I make because of th...
