My friend J John, who is an author and evangelist, tells of being on an airplane, talking to a lady who was a CEO of a company. She asked him, “And what do you do?” J John said, “Well . . . I work for a global enterprise. We’ve got outlets in nearly every country of the world! We run orphanages; we’ve got hospitals and hospices and we feed the hungry and provide clothes for the poor. We do marriage and guidance counseling. We’ve got schools, colleges, universities, and publishing companies. We look after people from birth to death, and we deal in the area of behavioral alteration!” “Wow!” She said. “I know. It’s amazing, isn’t it?” He offered. “What’s it called?” “It’s called the ‘church.’ Have you heard of it?” He reveals with childlike enthusiasm. …show more content…
He reminds me that I am part of something global, something amazing, and something that has a majestic significance beyond my own small imagination. His explanation reminds me that sometimes in my attitude, I default to a lower version of my work, my interests or myself. People often describe themselves as, “Oh, I’m just a manager of the sports department,” or “I’m just a Starbucks barista,” or “I’m just a little league coach.” They’ve probably lost sight of the extraordinary part of who they are and what they do. J John’s unique way of describing his job reminds me that I can sometimes forget the wonder of the work I’ve given my life to. I’m a dreamer; a dream maker. I need to use his description more often. It’s so easy for me to think I’m just an ordinary guy, doing an ordinary job. That kind of talk allows the relentless fog of mediocrity that overcomes so many of us to impose its boundaries. We forget that we are supernatural people. We act like we are Clark Kent but have forgotten that we have some “Superman” going on inside

I’m writing to Lisa Darger, Coordinator of Sustainability from the office of Sustainability. A coordinator is who organize events, activities and arrange people in order to make sure they work together effectively. Since Darger is Coordinator, she can make all the changes and add new facilities to the recycling and littering activities. I’m wanting to discuss her about providing more trashcans here and there and also proving more recycling activities on campus. I think she will be interested in my letter because it is responsibility if there is issues about litter or recycling is occurred, and I’m sure she will be happy to help me about my issues about littering on campus.
Have you heard of Superman and his strange ways well here is a texet and how the
"Hmph, I am '''Bryclie Kokichi''', your one and only, '''Ultimate Occultist'''!" the boy grins. "You may know me from the popular Kokichi family! We are quite one rich family. That's all it is for now. I can be expert on lying."
My name is Mayella Ewell. I belong to the lowest of the low amongst the whites in Maycomb. I grew up in a poor family and never received any proper education. The only I have is probably being white.

I wish I could have gone to school, but I have to take care of my children. My dad loves to go out and drink for the whole day. When he comes home, he often drunk and this is when he would rape me.

John Dau: Good day Sir, I’m perfectly fine, thank you for asking. Alexander Vukovic: Good to hear.
It was quiet. Absolute nothingness blanketed the surrounding vicinity. No sound, no light, nothing to neither see nor touch, not even a floor beneath. Blissful peace. Nothing to worry for, nothing to care for.
He continues on using examples from everyday life that stir the heart and allow us to feel, to be human.
My glasses drop down my nose as the sweat trickles down my face, and my head drops slightly. Miss Mayella has already lied numerous times, and she just keeps adding to the web. I peer across the courtroom, from the judge , to the jury, all the way to the prosecution table. This case has been a pain ever since the nudge appointed it to me, and now the whole town is in on it. “Now that we know more about each other Miss Mayella, I suppose it’d be best if we got to the case.
People always have more potential than it looks. That’s because people can have talents that can change the world. Some people look like ordinary people, but they may be more special than you think. Once, I was at the park. Lots of people were there, but one person caught my eye.
In 1968. Jagersfontein my second brother, just younger than me Japie Bedle was born. He was my mom’s biggest baby and came in at 9 pounds with black curly hair and bottle green eyes and a lisp when he talked. I loved to play with him from the beginning. I hugged and kissed him and he always would give me a big bright smile. He soon became the apple of my eye and my mom’s. He was always my mom’s beloved son. When Mom ran errands she would always ask me to hold his bottle. As soon a Ma left the room and started being busy with other choirs. I would lay on my back and suck that bottle dry. Moses was the “big responsible brother” that went telling on me. The secret was out and I was never asked to hold Japie’s bottle again. As children, we were best friends, we developed a love-hate relationship and later a master-slave relationship.

At the start of April my oldest son John became very ill with what the doctor said was Smallpox. No one knows who had the disease first but my son was sent with the other infected people to the end of the wagon trail to be quarantined. That sunday many of us prayed for the sick as I would ask God to give my son the strength to fight off this disease and bring him back to me safely and better than he was before. I wrote to John every day as that would be the only way the families of the sick could speak to their loved ones to not risk spreading the disease more, in his letters he spoke of many people with blisters as big as a young child’s hand and that he felt the longer he was with these sick people the more his health began to decline.
