This poem interest me because Henry Longfellow explains how people should not waste their life away‚ but instead takes advantage of their life. I like this poem because I was able to understand the poem’s meaning and it helped me understand how I and everyone else shouldn’t waste the life they have because today may be their last day and they may never see tomorrow

23rd Psalm- A Holocaust Memoir The Holocaust and war was no joking matter. Millions were executed both intentionally and unintentionally. Men‚ women‚ husbands‚ wives‚ parents‚ grandparents‚ and children; The SS didn’t care. Nor did the Poles‚ Germans‚ or anyone at all for that matter. Nobody cared about the “dirty Jews”‚ the “filthy dogs”‚ or the “swine dogs”. There were so many insults that it’s impossible to name them all. People were malnourished‚ lonely‚ and hopeless.

What is more important to you in life‚ having materialistic things or believing in something? The Bible verses that I am referring to give us an explanation of how God wants us to live a faith filled life. Psalm 23 and The Sermon on the Mount‚ though different in their immediate focus‚ they both offer persuasive advice about maintaining faith in God above all else. Psalm 23: 1-6 (King James version) says “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house

During this period‚ we begin to see formal liturgies develop in the early centuries as a part of worship‚ which included the use of psalms in these liturgies (p.166). It is clear that the Psalms remain an important part of worship‚ for both the Jew‚ as seen in the previous chapter‚ and for the Christian (p.167). Furthermore‚ chapter ten

week the verse I wanted to focus on was psalm 116:5-9‚ “The Lord is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion. The Lord protects the unwary; when I was brought low‚ he saved me. Return to your rest‚ my soul‚ for the Lord has been good to you. For you‚ Lord‚ have delivered me from death my eyes from tears‚ my feet from stumbling‚ that I may walk before the Lord in the land of the living.” For me this verse has always played a big art in my life. Ironically this was the verse that God

I agree that the Lament Psalms are a great example of an authentic relationship with God and that those who are not Christians tend to appreciate that kind of authenticity. If those around us can somehow observe us as we interact with
