The nurse walked in and said “She’s just taking a nap right now, just try not to disturb her,” Rudy walked over to his mom and looked at her skin that looked as pale as the snow. “Hey mom, how are you doing?,” Rudy whispered as he slowly creeped up on his mom. She opened her eyes to see Rudy by her side. “Hey bud, how’s your day,” mom said in a raspy voice. “Good, but did are you good, do you not have cancer anymore!?!,” Rudy’s voice raised as he started shaking in excitement. “They’re not sure, I’m hoping that it’s fine, but I don’t know,” mom replied as she struggled to sit up.

    A car stopped and Chili hopped in. Chili told the women to take him to 842 Springfield Drive. It was his uncle's house. She asked Chili why he was in such a panic, but Chili was so scared he could not respond. His uncle's house was the only place that Chili knew the Ginger man wouldn’t think to go. It was in the middle of the woods and was isolated from the rest of the world. He also had a collection of rifles and pistols. Chili thought of it like a safe house. Chili threw himself out of the car. He busted right through the front door only to find his uncle, Jerry, was laying there dead, with a knife sunken into his chest. This psycho had murdered Chili’s whole family! Distorted, Chili heard a bang. He had found Chili! Chili hid in a closet. When the man came to the room he was in Chili silenced his breath. The Ginger man walked right in front of the closet. Leaving Chili completely blinded in the dark. Sluggishly, the Ginger man moved away from the closet. Chili let out his breath. The Ginger man was no dummy; he blew open the closet like a tornado. Quick to react, Chili went through the Ginger man’s legs and down the stairs. The Ginger man was moving right with Chili but Chili grabbed the biggest kitchen knife he could find and hide under the kitchen counter. He looked out the window and saw that the only way of transportation was a bike. Not a great option, but that was good enough for Chili. Chili navigated his way through the kitchen and out the door. He hopped on the bike and peddled away into the…

    The book of Leviticus is largely a book of laws. Some key themes include God speaking to the people of Israel to define what it means to be the holy people of a holy God. This is accomplished by God speaking through Moses. The instruction given to Moses provides guidelines for the conduct of the individual as well as the nation as a whole. These instructions address the individual’s every day needs such as cleanliness, diet, sexual relations, and neighborly interactions. There are also laws given to address the relationship and worship between Israel’s people and God. There are descriptions of how to properly present God with a sacrifice. There are defined punishments for blasphemy and for child sacrifice. There are also descriptions of blessings for obedience. Though the Israelite people were the chosen people of God, God knew there would be times, as humans, they would be unfaithful. The book of Leviticus is setting the expectations and describing how to approach God for forgiveness if a person fails to observe the Law of God.…
