what is christian feminism?
What are the issues of feminism? Feminism is a counterfeit solution to the real issue of the inequality of women in a sinful society. Feminism arrogates to itself the right to demand respect and equality in every aspect of life.Feminism was originally a positive movement, focused on giving women the basic rights God intends for every human being to have. Tragically, feminism has gone past those roots to focus on destroying any trace of a distinction in roles between men and women. So in that case the Christian veiw of feminity is,a believing woman, who is seeking to obey God and walk in peace and grace, should remember that she has equal access to all spiritual blessings in Christ. And a believing woman should not allow herself to be a pawn in the worldly agenda of the feminist movement. Women have a God-given privilege to fulfill the plan He has set for us, and should rebel against the arrogance that seeks to put itself above God's word.

Homophobic?
On one hand the Church of Christ has in some ways become sexist and homophobic. The Bible teaches us that we should stay away from people who are against the word of scripture, and give in to gay and leasbian activities. But doesnt the Bible at the same time tell us that we shouldn't judge other people because on the way tey look or act. As chrsitians we suppose to command and teach the word of God, but how can we when most followers think that it is a in to be involved with others against Gods teachings? As a Christian I have a friend who turned out to be gay when I was only about...15. I am not going to stop being firneds with him because of what he is, but doesnt mean that I condone what he does. As Christians we are suppose to love everyone with an open heart and a loving mind, because we are all Gods' children. This argument can go back and forth, and back and forth; in the end it is all aout what yo bleive and how you as a Christian should go about handling the situation.

Controlling Parents
I believe that the parents should be more involved in parenting but not to the point of controlling. I can say this from experience because my parents used to control my brother Corde to the point of not letting him do anything to the point of him wanting to runaway. When parents start controlling thier kids too much it is just going to cause them to rebel, becuase they believe that they dont have any freedom. Kids believe that by the parents being overbearingly protective they do not have the liberty to do whatever they want, besically meaning they can't have a life or even friends for that matter. They rebel because, they believe that is the only way out. Some parents do it for the right reason, but never can explain what the reason is. And so by the child not knowing they actout. In conclusion, parents should be protective of their kids but not overbearinly, because hte child needs to have a life and make mistakes because that is the way of living.

Reflection
I went on a walk. It was cold and icy but still very beautiful at the same time. I decided to walk from my house to this old park I use to go to when I was a little girl. It was refreshing to go their to because I was all alone. I got a chance to really think about alot of things that I usually dont get time to think about. Like life, school, friends, etc. I was thiking on how I dont make the right choices sometimes like with the friends I hang out with or the way I speak to people, or just they way I treat others now. It was a nice time to reflect on all the things that I have done wrong, and all the things I want to change about myself. I.m usually always a little tense around people or just a little annoyed by people because I'm always tired, because if im not doing homework than I am at soccer practice, and if im not at soccer practice im talking to college coaches. IT JUST GETS SO OVERWHELMING. so I made a new years revolution to be more open to people and not to get so upset when im around people to. I know it will take time but i know that it will be worth it in the end. The walk to the park really helped me, because it helped me reflect in my life and how I want to be a better person.

3 problems of a naturalistic exlpanation to life
Problem 1: THe gene pool and the limitations to change. Indeed, evolutionists see benefical mutations as breaking all barriers to change, becasue these mutations supposedly can produce a vast array of stuctures-even a human eye- given enough time. Unfourtunately, for evolutionists, science simply has not been able to demonsrate that mutations can break these limits to change. Pierre Paul Grasse, after studying mutations in beacteria and viruses, concluded, "what is the uses of their unceasing mutations if they do not change? in sum, the mutations of bacteria and viruses are merely hereditary fluctuations around a median positio; a swing to the right, a swing to the left, but no evolutionary effect". If indeed such limitations exist, then evolution is a meaninless explanation
Problem 2: The impossibility of spontaneous generation. It has been scientifically demonstrated that life comes from pre-existing life. THis acords with Creationism and is yet another disproof of evolution. Evolutionists must postulate that for life to have arisen by naturalistic, random processes, at some point in time non-living matter must have come alive.
Problem 3: Fossil Gaps. Another problem with macroevolution is the lack of fossil evidence. Over one hundred years ago, Darwin wrote, "The geological record is extremely imperfect... [and this fact] will to a large extent explain why...we do not find intermediate varieties, connecting together all the extinct and existing forms of life by the finest graduated steps...He who rejects theses views on nature of the geological record, will rightly reject my whole theory". When Darwin made this claim, he was correct in asserting that the geological reord, as the scientists knew it when, was imperfect. After a century of careful scrunity of the geological record, it fails to support Darwin's theories. One reason the fossil record record does not support evolutionary theory is that may complex life forms appear in the very earliest rocks without any indication of forms which they could have evolved. In words of Brown, "THE EVOLUTIONARY TREE HAS NO TRUNK"!!!!

The Positivity Project!
So Johnny and I have decided that we were going to do this positivity project on our parents. Our parents go through a lot to help us live our everyday lives and we thought that out of all the people that we could think of that they deserve it the most. We plan to carry out our project from today to Tuesday, 11/9. To spread a positive message, we intend to ask them if they need our help constantly throughout the day because our parents go through a lot of stress and a little help from us could help them a lot. We also do not want to make them worry so we're going to try and stay out of trouble, do our homework, etc. The tools we'll need are the following: smiles, happiness, and a good attitude. We think that this project will help our parents because they could use some help sometimes and knowing that their children love them and want to help them will give them not only happiness in our lives but in theirs as well.

Beowulfs world in black and white....
To me my world is in black and white. Never really gray, you are either one or the other. The black part of my life is lonely and cold. It is every negative thing in my life that is locked up into one color and side of the equilibrium. That to me is like Grendal. The white part of my life is filled with little happiness and and joy.To me everything is love and nothing ever goes wrong. I am Beowulf and i can conquer andything in my way. And gray, oh that gray. To me gray is confusion not really knowing what side to go i am undecided. And in th world of Beowulf that is something that is considered dangerous and very un-human.
