To Christians All Over
Keri Ratcliff

When I was in the eleventh grade I had the joy of having to memorize all 50 states, their capitals and locations. It was difficult at first, but I made up random ways to remember them. 50 states in America.

Are you teaching people about the gospel throughout your state?

If not one Christian teaches anyone else in the whole United States, how will the people in other locations ever learn about the Bible? We are told to go out and teach the Bible. Now I'm not saying everyone will be missionaries or travel the country teaching, but how about walking across the street and inviting someone to church? Someone had to teach us, and it's our job to each others. I would hate to know that someone didn't make it to Heaven because I failed to do my job as a child of Christ and teach him. I just wouldn't be able to bear the thought of that.

People are always looking for an excuse to talk to someone--why not stop looking for excuses to talk to them and actually start discussing the Bible? Why not stop inviting people to go to the mall or movies and invite them to go to church with you? Why not stop putting off conversations about the Bible and questions that people have and just face them?

We don't like people to call us cowards or think of us as being wimps, but sometimes we act like it. We are always too scared to talk about the Bible because we think we will look crazy or like weirdos. Seriously, there will always be something weird about you. I don't know what your weird thing is about you, but one of my weird things just happens to be I'm an 18-year-old freshman in college, and I'm obsessed with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

It is seriously sad when we are so scared about being seen as weird and would rather talk about everything else in the world but the Bible just to keep things "right." There are people in some countries who die every day because they are Christians, and they aren't afraid to teach the word and praise God. Then here we are; we sit around in a free country with freedom of religion in all 50 states, and we struggle with sharing our faith.

All the recent tragedies involved with the group ISIS is truly devastating. They are killing people with no right at all. They don't worship the Holy Bible like Christians do they worship the Koran. Their faith and confidence is making them a huge opponent to Christianity and to freedom.

ISIS IS COMING OVER HERE TO OUR COUNTRY KILLING OUR PEOPLE!!! ISIS IS KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE IN OTHER COUNTRIES TAKING THEIR LIVES FOR NO REASON AT ALL.

They are trying to inflict their beliefs on everyone else. They think they are involved with the end of the world. We have to stand for our belief in Jesus Christ. He said that whoever denies Him, He will deny to His Father. Get your life with God today!

Right now more than ever we as Christians need to join hands and be willing to say, "I DO BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST. GOD IS MY CREATOR! I AM NOT ASHAMED TO SAY THAT I GO TO A CHURCH OF CHRIST AND THAT I AM A CHRISTIAN!" NEVER DENY THAT YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN. ANYONE CAN BE CONVERTED! SO WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WHEN THE QUESTION IS PRESENTED TO YOU?

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
