Necessary Heartbreak

Necessary Heartbreak



An extraordinary journey back in time shows a struggling single dad that the faith he’s lost is still alive—and stronger than ever. . . .Michael Stewart has weathered his share of hardships: a troubled childhood, the loss of his mother, even the degradation of living on the city streets. Now he’s raising his teenaged daughter, Elizabeth, on his own and doing the best he can at work and at home. But he’s turned his back on his faith—that is, until the morning Michael and Elizabeth volunteer for a food pantry at their local church. While storing boxes in the basement, they step through a mysterious door . . . and find themselves in first-century Jerusalem during the tumultuous last week of Jesus Christ’s life. It is a dangerous and violent place, where doing what your heart tells you is right can get you imprisoned—or worse—and they are thankful to take refuge with a kind widow. But when they come face-to-face with Judas Iscariot and the condemned Christ himself, Michael realizes that before they can escape Jerusalem, he must experience history’s most necessary and shattering heartbreak—and that pain and loss must happen if Michael is to be set free: to live, love, and reclaim the blessings he has in the present day.

Endangered Rare Crocodile Was


Endangered Rare Crocodile Was Found in Florida

An endangered rare crocodile, one of the animal's reptilian cousins was found near the community pond in Florida woman?s backyard in St. Petersburg, Florida, shocking residents of a gated community over the weekend.




In fact, alligators are a common sight in parts of Florida with about 1,500 crocodiles, mostly found in the Florida Keys area, some 300 miles south of St. Petersburg. However, crocodiles are too seldom to be found in some areas like St. Petersburg that an official didn?t initially believe what Shondra Farner said about spotting the endangered rare crocodile near the community pond in her backyard. "He said, 'No, ma'am, you have an alligator,' and I said, 'No, I know the difference.'" she said. "That big boy was just about 8 feet from our patio? It's terribly scary looking. And fast." His eyes are set differently, but his tail is the giveaway, because they have these very high peaks on the tail.? Before, Shondra Farner saw crocodiles on a trip to Costa Rica and recognized the animal's narrower, more triangular snout. American alligators not only have wider, more rounded snouts but they also don't like the brackish and salt waters that crocs can live in. What was sitting on their back lawn was no alligator.


Because endangered crocodiles cannot be killed, experts had the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission set up a cage trap filled with beef loin with the aim of capturing the giant reptile. If this eight-foot was the same endangered crocodile that was seen south of St. Petersburg in 2008, it surely has been living on the ducks in the water in order to survive. Moreover, officials are planning to implant a magnet into the animal to disorient it before releasing it into Tampa Bay to prevent it from returning to neighborhoods. Still, she warned everyone not to feed or touch these alligators or crocodiles and to keep pets away from them.

Oppression Thru Ageism


Oppression thru Ageism





Ageism pertains to prejudice of society against older adults. Society seems to have a negative view on aging adults.� Ageism was first coined in 1969 by Robert Butler, then director of the National Institute on Aging, to refer to discrimination practiced against older persons on the basis of age. Butler and other social critics pointed out that prejudiced, dismissive, and harmful acts and attitudes are directed towards old people by both individuals and institutions.





Our fondness for youth had contributed to a slanted notion about aging. This is evident in the recent popular trends of plastic surgery. Some people hold on to youth or want to attain youth-looking features at all cost even going under the knife. They are willing to take an enormous amount of pain and inconvenience in an apparent bid to preserve youthfulness.� This mind-set has contributed to the view that aging is an undesirable state to be in.


It is not surprising then that old people experience some form of prejudice or oppression. Oppression due to ageism is evident in the language, depiction in media and even humor.� Expressions such as ?over the hill? or ?old fuddy-duddy? often attach a negative impression aging. We seem to associate aging with impotency or incompetence. This is apparent in workplaces where aging employees are replaced by younger people because they are perceived to be less competent in handling the job.


The Destructive Impact of Ageism


Practice of ageism is often apparent in three major areas: prejudice in the workplace, inequality in the opportunities in healthcare system, and social prejudice. Old people are viewed as sick, sexless, ugly, powerless, and mentally deficient which lead to unfair treatment in the aforementioned three areas.


An obvious case of ageism in the workplace occur when older workers are not� hired or promoted because employers often believe that they will be less flexible and less competent than younger employees.� Businesses main goal is to earn profits, younger labor also implies cheaper labor as compared to their older, more experienced counterparts.


Heath care providers also restrict or limit opportunities for older people by ignoring or dismissing chronic complaints of the elderly to focus on the health needs of younger patients.


Finally, our culture often provides more emphasis to youth. Due to this odd preference, age has become a source of shame, ridicule, and disgust.

It wasn't too crowded, there was no cooking and cleaning up after people, no driving back home late at night with turkey leftovers. And what relative of yours has an indoor pool?
