Anabaptism and Pacifism

Pacifism is a term that generally means that peaceful rather than violent or

 aggressive relations should govern human interaction and that arbitration, surrender, or

relocation should be used to resolve disputes. The idea of pacifism is one of the many

ideologies that set the Anabaptist movement apart from the rest of the Protestant

movement. Many people during the early stages of the Anabaptist Movement

considered them radical reformists and they strongly believed that Pacifism was an

essential portion of what they considered “THE” form of Christianity. In September

1524, Conrad Grebel had discussed with his “Church of Believers” the idea of The

Sword which had seemed to lead these “Anabaptists” to embrace the idea of Pacifism.

That statement by Grebel stated; “The gospel and its adherents are not to be protected

by the sword, nor should they protect themselves... True believing Christians are sheep

among wolves, sheep for the slaughter. They must be baptized in anguish and

tribulation, persecution, suffering and death, tried in fire, and must reach the fatherland

o f eternal rest not by slaying the physical but the spiritual. They use neither worldly

sword nor war, since killing has ceased with them entirely.” This statement by Grebel is

saying that his group of believers or “Anabaptists” should not relate themselves with

the government or try to use as many ways as possible to solve disputes without violent

confrontations as humanly possible.

i miss her soo much, i wish i could go back in time where everything that went down didnt happen and i could have her back, i've known her since i was 8. how can this happen?Why is it that when u try to do something with someone they tell u that u shouldnt have done it and make u feel like an ass, but when u wanna do the same thing with the person and u end up not doing they get mad at u         if you are with someone and they make u happy then keep it going, if ur with someone and they make u feel kinda awkward and dont do anything with/for u, then why r u still with that person

BSC, My Home Away From Home

            The BSC is a private swim club that my family belongs to.  It is a place to go in the summer to cool off by the poll, hang out with friends, and have fun.  The pool ranges from three feet deep to six feet deep and a twelve foot diving well that we sometimes get to swim regularly in it.  Over the years I have made many friends there that I hang out with.  Also you can play at the playground or go down to the fields to play baseball or volleyball.  It also has a tennis court.  For the little ones they have a baby pool that is not very deep.  Want something else to do then go to the basketball court to shoot some hoops.  Behind the umbrellas are picnic tables and grills for barbequing.  If you are hungry you can got o the snack bar for burgers and pizza.  They have a game room next to the snack bar for playing foosball and arcade games.

            Down by the entrance you could play shuffle board or ping pong. I and my family would spend endless hours there swimming, diving, eating, talking, and all around having fun.  It was a place where I could be myself and not get rejected for being different.  I do not know what I would have done over my summers without the BSC.  I even learned how to swim there and how to interact with others. 

Senior Goodbye( Dam Yankees)

First off I would like to say that this show was awesome to do and everyone involved did an amazing job. There were a lot of good moments while doing Dam Yankees but there were too many to name so I ‘m just going to say that I’m glad I was there for as many as I could. Now stage crew,  I want to say that ever since I joined stage crew in my sophomore  year I never regretted it not even once, because when I saw Beauty and the Beast here I thought to myself that I want to do that,  so I did and I stuck to my word.  Lou, I want to say that I have faith in you for next year because you learned everything you could from the indestructible Tony, but in all seriousness you learned everything from a pretty good stage manager, because Tony was always the first one to every meeting, showed everyone how to do something if we didn’t know how to do it, he was the last one to leave, and also made sure that everything worked like a well oiled machine back stage and it pretty much did every time.  Lastly I want to say for the seniors on the crew I’m glad to have been with you all for three years and for the rest of crew I’m still grateful to have done stag crew with you all, so thank you all and  good bye.

Lost

She can never be found,
the one who who makes my heart beat so fast,
 the one who makes my stomach churn
 everytime i see her,
 the one who i cant help
 but smile at her,
the girl that makes me feel
that everyone else is inferior,
when will the light be turned on that will reveal her?
