Personal Narrative: Moving To Church
Growing up I attended private Catholic schools and was surrounded by hundreds of loving and devoted Catholics. As a very young child, I remember walking to church with my family every Sunday morning and going to mass, or we went to church events and dinners with each other and our friends. However, as I grew older we moved from California to Alabama and my faith changed. We still went to Church but less frequently and it felt less like a family reunion where God greeted us all. My faith and opinion of the mass changed quickly after my eyes were opened to the cruelty and the evils of the world. Mass felt like a chore and didn't make me feel closer to God or Jesus. I kept questioning why all these terrible events were happening and I was confused

    Personal Narrative: My Visit To Christianity

    I never thought how interesting it would be to visit a different place of worship besides Christianity. Since the day I was born I’ve been a Christian and whatever anyone else believes in is wrong and that they are going to hell if they don’t believe in Christianity. About 3 years ago I visited the International Buddhist Progress Society a Buddhist temple in Naperville. Buddhism from what I learned looks more like a way of life or guidelines to it rather than a religion. Buddhism tells you how you could live life better but doesn’t scare you with the prospect of hell instead you live with ignorance. My own history with Christianity still made me doubt or fear the conquences of going to this temple. Part of me believed that I be punished by…

    Personal Narrative: My Life Changing Experiences

    “WHOA WHOA WHOA THIS IS BALONEY MAN!” that is something I say whenever I am frustrated. People have always told me sometimes the best way to learn something is through failure. People value things they have accomplished differently. Often the people whom are naturally adept at things do not realize how much of a struggle it can be for others. Many times when people have told me that if you are going to fall, fall forward. Do not let your insecurities, doubts, and pride get in the way of improving yourself. In brief, there can always be a way to improve yourself.…

    Challenges Facing the Australian Catholic Church of the 21st Century

    Catholic affiliation is on the decline and so is the mass attendance. Mass attendance has fallen by thirteen per cent between 1996 and 2001. This is mainly due to the fact that the church isn't seen as significant or relevant to today's youth. The opportunity to encourage and influence younger Christians has not…

    Personal Narrative: South Knollwood Baptist Church

    The greatest asset to my life growing up besides my family were the churches that my family attended. Although we have moved several times due to my father being stationed in various locations with the military, the Baptist churches we have been a part of have been a stable place for me. Currently, I have the privilege of calling South Knollwood Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas my home church. South Knollwood is under the leadership of Pastor Jeremiah Metsinger, a third generation preacher.…

    Personal Narrative: My Chapter Of Alpha Phi Omega

    My chapter of Alpha Phi Omega is Alpha Beta Zeta, located at Radford University. Each member is required to get 35 community service hours each semester. Service projects occur around the New River Valley and help a variety of community organizations. Because Alpha Phi Omega has a partnership with the Boy Scouts of America, we host many projects that allow us to help them facilitate big events. Projects I have worked on include: cleaning a local daycare center, performing trail maintenance along a portion of the Appalachian Trail, collecting food for Meals on Wheels, raising money for different causes, running youth programs for Boy Scouts and 4-H events, cleaning our Adopt-A-Spot, beautifying local parks, and many other programs.

    Personal Narrative: Mission Trip

    Weather destruction hits hard some places more then others around the world. In Alpena where I live we rarely have any kind of major weather damage. On June 14, a group of 44 members from Grace Lutheran Church, as well as other churches in Alpena, drove 20 hours to Mayflower, Arkansas where a level 5 tornado had hit. I was one of these, along with my mom and one of my best friends Maddy. For six months we had prepared and fundraised. I did not want to go on this trip, but what I was going to see was much more than what I had imagined--i came back more grateful for the life I have and more aware of the problems that other people deal with.…

    Personal Narrative: Southern Baptist Religion

    11) When you were a child, what type of religion did your family follow? When I was a child, my parents were divorced at an extremely early age. I truly never got to experience the lifestyle my Father had to offer, since he didn’t recognize that I was his child. My mother’s family was originally from Eastern Tennessee, better known as Appalachian Country. They were stern Southern Baptist, in their beliefs and their way of life.…

    Personal Narrative: Freedom Of Religion

    My collage is Freedom of Religion, why I chose this freedom is because everyone has a religion, even though some people don’t choose to have a religion, it is important to them. ¨With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.¨ by Steven Weinberg. I chose this quote because anyone can have a religion it does not matter what kind of race they are, gender, or how they look. They choose what to believe in not what others believe in. Not everyone will believe in God, others may believe in something else and they cannot change that.…

    Ultimate Questions

    We our living lives with questions, and want answers for all of them; this is killing our religion, and our faith in the world. Our society is so used to the new technology and the fast pace world that we want and expect instant gratification. Religion, however, is not something you can just type in google.com and get and get an answer. That annoys people and is causing a drastic decline in religion today. The reason for such a decline is the way our lives are being run, and even taking one hour, one day a week is to hard of a task for some to accomplish. With facing doubt and not having reasoning or answers, people feel as if they get nothing out or going to mass, and like kids being forced to go, while sitting there it’s been apparent that your not fully being taken in and focusing on the miracle happening and the lecture being told, instead mass attendees are asking questions in their head and planning there week. They want a psychical item to leave with because there thoughts are not enough. This is proven because according o studies and statistics, the most attended days of church is ash Wednesday, where you receive ashes on your forehead, and Palm Sunday, where you receive palms, both showing Catholicism physically instead of showing your Catholicism emotionally and just be your actions. We don’t take time any longer to think, so because of whom we have come we don’t take time and ask ourselves, what are the important questions. So with all of this doubt and changes in the world there are 5 ultimate questions you should be asking yourself: What is the human condition, What is the spiritual perfection, what is our destiny, what is the nature of the world, and what is the ultimate reality?…

    Personal Narrative: My Interview With A Pastor

    The person I choice to interview this week just like last week is also someone I turn to when I am faced with questions and concerns regarding all of my biblical classes and sometimes just personal spiritual questions. That person is my pastor and my father in law who has been a southern Baptist preacher for over thirty years. Of those thirty years he has only been pastor of two churches both, which have been very successful while he was and is presently the pastor.
