Get together for a chat. Ask what she believes and why. Then let her ask questions about your relationship with Christ. Relationship goals: -Without being told, do that one chore Mom always has to ask you to do. -Do something nice for your sibling(s). -Why not spoil your grandparent(s) for an evening? Flip through photo albums. Ask about childhood stories from his or her childhood. Cook dinner, even if it's just mac 'n' cheese.Wed, 21 Oct 2020 00:00:00 +0100https://media.journoportfolio.com/users/132327/uploads/b75a1110-d155-4848-9f61-d9787aba917d.pdfhttps://media.journoportfolio.com/users/132327/uploads/97cb239a-8da5-4cee-90ab-d722b1373e99.pdfStrength training is a great way to increase muscle strength and improve your overall health. Stretching keeps you limber, aerobics improve heart and lung function, and balance exercises keep you on your feet. Strength training balances muscle mass and fat mass levels, as well as helps your body use oxygen more efficiently. Strength-building exercises help more than just your muscles. They can strengthen your bones, making them less prone to breaks. Strength training also boosts mental function by increasing blood flow to the brain, making it easier to understand and remember what you learned in class. In addition, it can lift your mood and improve self-esteem, helping with mental health issues including anxiety and depression.Wed, 21 Oct 2020 00:00:00 +0100https://media.journoportfolio.com/users/132327/uploads/97cb239a-8da5-4cee-90ab-d722b1373e99.pdfhttps://media.journoportfolio.com/users/132327/uploads/ed5c1276-2efc-4865-8dab-659dc5b195ba.pdfThis handout was presented to a forum of Clark County, OH's leaders (politicians, judges, etc.) to educate them on both the effects of opioid addiction and the ways they can use their influence to facilitate recovery.Wed, 21 Oct 2020 00:00:00 +0100https://media.journoportfolio.com/users/132327/uploads/ed5c1276-2efc-4865-8dab-659dc5b195ba.pdfhttps://media.journoportfolio.com/users/132327/uploads/1ea623b6-7a16-42ef-b8f9-75b2f91fe164.pdfI wrote this letter on behalf of McKinley Hall's CEO to invite Clark County, OH businesspeople to a forum about how the opioid epidemic affects their businesses and how they can help.Wed, 21 Oct 2020 00:00:00 +0100https://media.journoportfolio.com/users/132327/uploads/1ea623b6-7a16-42ef-b8f9-75b2f91fe164.pdfhttps://media.journoportfolio.com/users/132327/uploads/065c2768-6fdf-4283-a6be-93672c92103d.pdfThis pledge was presented to attendees of a forum centered on educating Clark County, OH's leaders about the opioid epidemic.

Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? (Matthew 6:25). The Sermon on the Mount is a change of perspective. A reversal of everything the world tells us to believe and do. What does this shift in our worldview mean for us right now? It means that the world did its best to cause worry but failed. Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount can be broken down into two parts:Wed, 21 Oct 2020 00:00:00 +0100https://www.christianity.com/wiki/bible/what-is-the-sermon-on-the-mount.htmlhttps://www.christianity.com/wiki/bible/why-did-paul-compare-christianity-to-greek-mythology.htmlGod, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. Nor is He worshipped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their pre-appointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord...Wed, 21 Oct 2020 00:00:00 +0100https://www.christianity.com/wiki/bible/why-did-paul-compare-christianity-to-greek-mythology.htmlhttps://www.christianity.com/wiki/bible/what-did-god-mean-be-strong-and-courageous.html“Be strong and courageous” (Joshua 1:6). We see these words on everything from T-shirts to keychains to the front of fancy leather journals. It’s uplifting, it’s inspiring, and it looks great painted in loopy calligraphy on a little wooden sign. I love carrying Scripture around with me as much as the next Christian, but there are a couple of problems with commercializing this verse: One, it’s not the whole verse and two, it’s often taken out of context.Wed, 21 Oct 2020 00:00:00 +0100https://www.christianity.com/wiki/bible/what-did-god-mean-be-strong-and-courageous.htmlhttps://www.christianity.com/wiki/prayer/why-is-prayer-important-for-fasting.htmlWhen I googled “why prayer is important to fasting” to research for this article, I found a lot of articles on the health and spiritual benefits of fasting. I also found a few on the benefits of prayer and fasting together. I didn’t find anything about why, exactly, prayer is supposed to be part of the fasting process. Fasting is a way for us to reconnect and be with the Lord. So, below are a few reasons why prayer comes highly recommended with fasting — as it should be:Wed, 21 Oct 2020 00:00:00 +0100https://www.christianity.com/wiki/prayer/why-is-prayer-important-for-fasting.htmlhttps://www.christianity.com/wiki/bible/what-is-a-study-bible.htmlI’ve only been on this spinning ball of dirt and salt-water for 22 years, but the people in my life all thought Study Bibles should be part of my existence. But in all that time, I never stopped to ask myself, what is a Study Bible? The concept of a Study Bible is simple enough: It’s a Bible that comes with extra features like verse-by-verse breakdowns, discussion questions, extra-wide margins for note-taking, and other fun bells and whistles. But what does a study Bible do?Wed, 21 Oct 2020 00:00:00 +0100https://www.christianity.com/wiki/bible/what-is-a-study-bible.htmlhttps://www.christianity.com/wiki/jesus-christ/is-jesus-lower-than-the-angels.htmlPsalm 8:5 and Hebrews 2:7 say something interesting: God made Jesus “a little lower than the angels.” “Excuse me?” Is what most people ask the first time they read those verses. Followed by, “You have the nerve — the audacity — to suggest that Jesus Christ, Lord of all, healer of the sick, is lower than the angels? Preposterous!” But here’s the thing: Those verses made it into the Bible. If they made it into the Bible, that means they have to be true. So, what do they mean?Wed, 21 Oct 2020 00:00:00 +0100https://www.christianity.com/wiki/jesus-christ/is-jesus-lower-than-the-angels.htmlhttps://www.christianity.com/wiki/christian-life/top-3-inspiring-christian-tattoos-to-get-and-why.htmlThanks to Leviticus 19:28 — “you shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the Lord” — many Christians think it’s wrong for believers to get tattoos of any kind. However, it is argued that this verse only forbids body modifications, which glorify Pagan gods. Some believe that if you want to get a tattoo, you can do so as long as it’s done to glorify God and not puff up your sense of pride or vanity.Wed, 21 Oct 2020 00:00:00 +0100https://www.christianity.com/wiki/christian-life/top-3-inspiring-christian-tattoos-to-get-and-why.htmlhttps://www.christianity.com/wiki/bible/how-not-to-read-the-bible-3-big-mistakes-and-how-to-avoid-them.htmlWhether you’ve been a Christian for years or you’ve just begun your journey with Christ, you know how easy it is to say, “I’m going to study the Bible in-depth every day!” and then run out of steam as soon as you stumble across a particularly puzzling passage. Why does this happen? Why isn’t the burning desire to understand Scripture enough to make that understanding a reality? Because the Bible isn’t an easy book to read, and if you don’t know where to start, it’s easy to make a mistake.Wed, 21 Oct 2020 00:00:00 +0100https://www.christianity.com/wiki/bible/how-not-to-read-the-bible-3-big-mistakes-and-how-to-avoid-them.html
