Joel Roy Speech
Robert Harrison
October 24th, 2010

This past Sunday I went to Snyder Moral Baptist church to hear the music of Joel Raney. Joel is a very emotional performer I could tell he is very in touch with God. While I was there I learned that he began his career in Alabama by cutting his teeth on hymns and gospel music. He attended Juilliard School in NYC where he also worked in musical theater for a time. Listening to Joel’s music made me feel closer to God, he made me think about the finer things in life through his music. Like having a close relationship with God and letting God know I am what he has made me to be. He made me think about my faith a lot more about how being a Christian isn’t all about showing up at church. Being a Christian is

    Chris Jordan's Incredible Speech

    Chris Jordan has delivered an incredible speech regarding to the issues that we are having in our society today. He did a great job with gathering the data of facts with using these raw language of data, and translate them into a more universal visual language. I think, that it is true that we tend to create these issues unconsciously with our behaviors. He also did a great job comparing the number people who died from smoking with number people that died during the nine eleven tragedy.…

    Tricia Brock is lead singer of the popular contemporary Christian band, Superchic[k]. She grew up wanting to be a nurse. She even wanted to go to nursing school after high school, and do some missionary work. But God led her in another direction. She began to notice an opportunity to use her amazing singing voice to lead the world to Christ. She wasn’t sure how to go about it, so she took the famous “Leap of Faith”.

    Chris Tomlin’s worship songs have been sung my millions of people all over the world; in fact Time called him “Most Likely the Most Often Sung Artist Anywhere.” Songs like “Everlasting God,” and “How Great Is Our God,” have been quintessential to the language of the church, overcoming denominational difference to bring us together in one voice. So what is next on the agenda for the Grammy Award winner? Well, he’s bringing Worship Night in America to three major cities across the nation this summer, and it’s more than a feel-good concert.…

    Elvis Presley Informative Speech

    One rarely tethers the invention of branding and marketing to Rock and roll, but in the 1950’s they were a package deal. This is especially true for Elvis Presley, who was branded, rebranded, and sold across the scope of available entertainment to include music, film, published materials, and consumer ads. His face was literally everywhere, not only reinforcing his stardom, generating a solid fanbase, but becoming a lucrative investment. Consider one ad published in 1956 by a teen-ager lipstick corporation selling Elvis Presley Lipstick. Their slogan: “Keep me forever on your lips.” It might appear strange that Elvis Presley, the alleged King of Rock and roll would endorse lipstick to teenage girls. That is to say, I have never witnessed…

    Colin Powell life is interesting because he was the first African-American Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff. The commencement speech Powell gives at Howard University show his willingness and determination to overcome challenges. Not letting his race put a limitations on what he could or couldn’t do, shows that anyone can do anything and be anyone in this nation. It also shows how times have changed from the past from African Americans being slaves to running president and doing great things.

    Luis Rodriguez Speech

    Rodriguez’s speech means that intellect is not simply defined by going to school and getting conventionally good grades, but by the pursuit of knowledge. He means that education does not end after high school or even college, our minds should constantly be feeding and learning new things so we can continue to grow. Learning is messy, learning contains mistakes, it may look like a series of failures but if you persist you can achieve great things. Learning even looks different on everyone and that is not strange. We can become so focused on just getting by with good grades in school we can forget what an amazing opportunity we have, and when we can access to each other’s minds the possibilities are endless.…

    J. Tillman

    So I guess I wasn’t really surprised last year, when I cyber stalked my new favourite musician and discovered that he, like my mother, had grown up in a hardcore Evangelical household. Unlike my mother, Joshua Tillman was born in Rockville, Maryland, which doesn’t tempt children with sin in the same way a big city like Toronto can. He was so isolated, that in 1991, at the age of ten, Tillman announced that he wanted to be a pastor, simply because that was the closest thing he knew to performing.…

    Christian Music (Rapper Lecrae)

    In a time where the majority of music is about making money, doing drugs, or having sex, it is complicated for music concerning other topics to gain attention. However, there are always a few jewels that beat the odds. Lecrae, the stage name of a Christian lyricist who piously centers his music around the teachings of Jesus Christ, is one of those jewels. In all of his songs there are explicit references that all of his energy is channeled into doing the will of God. Typically Lecrae’s genre of music is overlooked by the majority population because it lacks the pizazz in the beat that popular music has. As a result of this millions of people get deprived of the content of Christian music which has the power to change one’s perspectives for the better. Fortunately, Lecrae is one of very few artists who are able to blend the attractive rhythms of pop music with lyrics composed of the deep Christian concepts. In Lecrae’s “Chase That (Ambition)” the beat of the song alone captures listeners’ attention followed by critical lyrics of Lecrae convincing listeners that satisfaction in life would not be reached by chasing their own desires but by rather chasing to live a life after Jesus Christ.…

    Camp Counselor

    God’s word always needs to be shared with everyone but more especially to the youth. God has always been a huge part of my everyday life. Finding a place where I would be able to share this joy was a priority I had. Camp Skyline was undeniably the place for that. Each night we would sit around a campfire just to hear the songs of the praises to God’s word. Voices as sweet and soft as honey would travel through the mountain air as if a bee on a summer day. Beneath that sound would be the faint crackling of the fire that blazed before us and faintly gave light to each face. On Sundays we had “Skyline Church.” Everyone was to wear pure white on this day. Upon entering church I would see girls of all ages running around in white dresses that were catered to fit each of the hundreds of girls. During those next few hours praises would be lifted and hearts would be led to God as if a lost child in…

    Youth Camp Reflection

    Again, for the second time.. I have experienced the faith and love of God through the Paulinian Youth Camp. At first, I was thinking not to attend PYC because I’m too lazy for some reason but then they told that this is a school requirement and it will serve as a quiz in our RelEd class so I decided to attend the said event. I was surprised! I don’t know what came to my mind but while I’m in the middle of singing and dancing I said to myself that this is not just a want to complete the requirement but this is me enjoying and praising God for all he has done. It made me feel that I can serve God even in the simplest way of attending this kind of event. I was physically tired but it felt like I was spiritually renewed. Yes, it feels good! Indeed, I was really bored that time. I used to text, chat with my friends on Facebook, update my Twitter account, take pictures with my classmates but then as the time passes by it made me enjoy the event. We were singing and dancing all night long, sharing stories and laughing at our own mistakes. I realized that this is also the time that I can bond more with my friends whom I used to be with everyday and get to know my other classmates as well. This is the perfect time to have a great connection with God and thank him for giving us the opportunity to wake up every morning and all the blessings he is showering on us. I am proud to myself that even I’m on my weakest and laziest point of my life I can still manage to attend PYC and I don’t regret anything at all. The whole PYC experience was overwhelming and I really want to thank my friends for encouraging me to attend though some of them were thinking not to attend also.…
