medical school at 75?

2.       I don’t know if I would say that him keeping information keeps the intent but it defiantly keeps the reader’s attention. The intent of this article is to show and tell us that we can do what we want no matter what the situation. The authors shows us that at the age of 75 he can go back to school, and not just any school but Harvard medical school. He tells us how he had been interested in medicine when he was young and then found out it was not for him but recently realized he had a new interest for it again. He also tells us that he did not just make the choice to go back to medical school but he also decided to go green.

I believe that this strategy is not the best way to get his intent across. This would be a great way to keep a reader’s attention, and could maybe more useful in a n article dealing with one topic. This strategy  in this article seems to just confuse things making it difficult to figure out if the intent is to tell us about him going green or him going to medical school.

Savior of the Nations come

The theme of this hymn is about the praise and love we should have for our lord and savior Jesus Christ. He not only can to this earth but came as an innocent baby and was born of a young virgin mother. In this hymn the author uses a few language tools, but I think his use of diction stands out. In the third verse there are three very good examples of diction right in a row, the first two being “wondrous birth, O wondrous Child”. In my opinion this is a very good choice of a word because he is not just a great birth or Child or an amazing birth or Child, but he wondrous. Even in the hymn we see why we could call him wondrous, he was born by the Holy Spirit of a virgin, undefiled. Which is the third example, undefiled, not just a clean child or a behaved child but so much more than that, undefiled, never been corrupted by sin or even born in to the natural sin of this world, he was perfect and wondrous in every way! We Can even see how he was so wondrous in his later life from this hymn when it reads “captive leading death and hell…hast o’re sin the victory won.” His whole life from beginning to end was lived wonderfully for us!

3.       Edward’s theme in his sermon is about how we should fear God’s wrath and how we as sinners have no hope when it comes to meeting our Creator face to face.  He tells us how our days of mercy are now, but when we face God, he will punish us for all our wrong doings.   Rev. Borghardt’s theme focuses solely on believers’ redemption by Christ’s death on the cross. He mentions how we, sinner think we enjoy our sin, but if we truly believe the good news, our days of true happiness and mercy will come when we stand before God.

Fuzzy Dice?

In this article Matt Helms discussed the ban of objects hanging from your rear view mirror. He talks about how the ban might soon be eased up on, by letting some items like pray beads or air fresheners be allowed on the mirrors. In the article Sen. Ron Jelinek goes on to say that that this kind of law or band is just “a 'gotcha' law. It's an excuse to pull someone over”. I agree with this statement that keeping this law as it is, is simple used for an excuse for the police to pull someone over if they are suspicious and have no other, real reason.

             I agree with this ban that drivers should not be allowed to have objects on their rear view mirror that could possible obstruct or distract their view while driving like fuzzy dice, but I do not think it is an issue to have small items that are not causing any problems to the drivers.

Mitch Albom Column

Mitch Albom’s point in this column is to show you and convince you, that if someone gives another the opportunity to pull the racial card, when being criticized, of course they will do it. Even if they were going to say on their own “it’s because of my race” and they had not  done it yet, by asking that question one would just be fueling the fire and asking for them to respond with a “yes, of a matter of fact, it is because of my race and it is not right”. I agree with Mitch Albom’s point that people put way to much emphases on the racial factor when something negative is being said, but when something positive comes alone it has nothing to do with race and the question “Do you think there's a role that race plays in this?" would have never been asked, which I think is Mitch’s strongest point. Mitch continued with this idea by asking rhetorical question like do you think this question was asked when he was the number one draft out of high school or when he became MVP, or when he was given more money than a 100 other NBA players combined and the answer to all of the questions is no. no one publicly said anything about race when these great achievements were made. So the obvious way to solve this whole conflict would be to just not ask the question about race playing a role in any decision.
