5 of 18

The mission of Christ Jesus was to do the will of His Father while He was on earth, and by doing so glorify the Father's name. It's as simple as that. Whatever God the Father asked Christ Jesus to do, He would surrender, make the sacrifice, and choose to do it. Throughout His life, Jesus constantly surrendered Himself to His... More..

The essential item needed in an educator is an unrelenting passion for the people he or she will be serving.

Just take a look inside a World History or American History textbook and you will find that topics including Hitler's dominance and the Holocaust take up no more than a chapter of the entire text. I believe Hitler is as much under-emphasized as the Holocaust is, especially when studying high school standards and benchmarks a... More..

Society & Lifestyle > Morals, Values & Norms (Other) What is the strongest emotion?
27 of 36

Life can be so very ironic. Many times the strongest emotions are those that have been repressed, instead of the everyday emotions that present themselves on the surface/exterior of people's beings.
