Was This The Most Important Thing?

Christian boundaries are not restricted to one nation

Was This The Most Important Thing?

So it happened, we have a new president of the United States. Many things will change but there is one thing that will always be the most important that never will.

As Christians, we have one mission and that is to spread the gospel. No matter where you live in the world or who is the president that will never change. The great commission is our marching orders and we have to remember it is in his hands.

The world is a pretty big place and there are quite a few people living in it. Around the world there are different types of government with different leaders, and they greatly affect the people that live in those places. Don't get me wrong, elections are a very important matter and they affect us all. Whoever comes into office will make decisions that decide what direction the country is headed in. We should all be concerned about who we vote for, but it is not the most important thing. The amount of time that we will spend on this earth is minuscule compared to eternity afterward. Sadly, there are very few people who realize this. Something else Christians must do, is respect the laws of the land as long as they do not conflict with God. Whether our candidate won this election or not, we have to respect it and keep our eyes on God. One of the worst things we can do is riot and destroy the property of those who cannot control the government.

Although this election was a very important event in our nations history, it is not the most important thing in our lives. Christian boundaries are not restricted to one nation. We have to remember to respect the law of the land that we live in and keep God in focus.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
