Sometimes we forget the real meaning of celebration, the story behind the festivity. The celebration of the sacrament of the Eucharist is where we find our story.…

    At one point or another we all succumb to the feeling of helplessness in our lives. Whether it is a feeling of not being able to break free of an abusive loved one or being trapped by a bad storm, the natural animal instinct of survival is apparent. "Celebration" written by W.D. Valgardson studies that instinct and the helplessness of situations that drives us to it.…

    Back in summer of 2014 all of our friends were so excited for the new year. We were going to be in 8th grade, at the top of the food chain at our Junior High. Not only were we excited about all the different things we were going to be able to do as 8th grader, like take chinese or year round spanish if you're into that.

    Born in the capital city of Mexico on September 18, 1890 Jose Tomas De Cuellar was one of colonial Latin America's polarizing figures and from one Mexico's wealthy families. He attended college at the military college of Chapultepec. Later he entered the Academy of San Carlos after taking part in the defense of the castle before the United States invasion on September 13, 1847. He went on to become secretary of the Mexican legislation in Washington D.C. and was secretary of foreign affairs. He gained note ability in 1848 for his essay "Duty and Sacrifices" in both Mexico and Madrid. But, he is most notably known for his skills as an observer and being a master illustrator in writing in his genre and because of the telling of humorous stories to make fun of the society he was living in.1 The Magic Lantern is but a small part of his repertoire , but is an excellent glimpse back into a culture that is long gone but still influencing its people today.…

    Do you know where the jack-o-lanterns came from? When Jack died, he wasn’t allowed into heaven because he was a miser. Jack played tricks on the devil, so he wasn’t allowed into hell either. “He had to walk the earth, holding a lantern, until Judgement Day.” People in the 1800’s carved their turnips into the face of “Jack-of-the-lantern” to remind themselves what happened to people who were misers. In the fall, pumpkins are much easier to find than turnips. That’s why Americans today carve their pumpkins into jack-o-lanterns.…

    Mardi Gras Christianity

    Eat drink and be merry, for tomorrow we grow up! In this first chapter, we are exposed to a way of life called "Mardi Gras Christianity”. This is a reflection of the way in which many young Christians live their lives. They think they can party today because it is not until tomorrow that they will have to act in a reasonable way; it is not until tomorrow that they will have to grow up. In a way I see this to be true. So many people believe that what they do now will not affect them in the long run; they will change later. Just last year I was a senior in high school. I started to make a list of all the things that I wanted to do or change when I started college. How I was going to read more, study harder, and love the Lord more. This is very…

    The sky is clear as the deep blue sea. The main focal point was the bright orange full moon, which is accented by the glitzing stars. The reflection of the moon stretched across the lake in the country pasture to my left. The wavy water caused the moon to move as if it was a boat in the middle of the lake. I strolled along the wooden bridge as the moderate, meek breeze brushed the hairs on my skin and my nose. There was a continuous melody of insects singing, while the owls, frogs, crickets, and other night creatures blended in like background singers. The planes soared through the sky, displaying an array of lights, which appeared to be shooting stars. The deer and foxes, as well as other wildlife, welcomed themselves to their playground as they ran, jumped, crept, and played…
