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?

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
