Dinner Party List

If I was going to host a dinner party the 5 people that I would most likely invite would be Katie Kruse, Emily Redmond, Toya Dodson, Christin Stehr, Alana Nardini, and Ashley Toups. I chose these people because all of these people have had a tremendous impact on my life. Katie Kruse always follows her conscience and she is a woman after god’s own heart. She has always been there for me and I know and have faith that she always will be. Katie has been through tough stuff in her life but she has come through on top. I would take Emily Redmond because I miss her so much. Emily lives in Alexandria, Louisiana where I previously lived. She has a pure heart and she is very honest to you. She has been a solid rock in my life and I’m not sure what I would do if she were not in my life. She is always true and honest and loves people.

I chose Toya Dodson because she has a heart for kids in high school. When I was upset or just needed someone to talk to, Toya was always there for me with open hands and would help me get through it. Toya is someone who absolutely follows her conscience. I chose Christin Stehr because she is so much fun to be around. She has so much energy and she will always do what is right even if no one else is following her. Her personality makes her different because she is bold in her thinking and will always make good choices. I chose Alana Nardini because she is blunt and she cares about all people. She is one of my best friends from my entire life. She understands me completely. She doesn’t judge people and she has a heart for others.

If these people were my guests the topics that we would probably talk about would be how our lives have been. We would give each other updates and see how much each of us has changed since we have last seen each other. We would probably have some conversations about how our faiths have changed and what God has been teaching us lately. We would be an encouragement to each other and help out whoever is not doing so well. If I were to have a dinner party with these people it would be the best ever. I am so thankful for these people in my life and if they came, I would be having the best time of my life.

Train Wreck

If a train was about to crash and I had the choice to kill one person to save five, or kill five to save the one, I would have much trouble choosing who to save. If the was an event where I had the choice to kill either the 5 people or the 1 I think I would choose the 5. This issue is definitely a moral issue because killing any person is bad but having to choose which side of people will die is horrible. I am torn between the two but I would choose the one over the five. Having to deal with the guilt of choosing one group over the other would bother me for a long time. I would constantly be thinking of what would have become of the five people or over that one person. By killing the five people I would be changing five families lives forever where as if I had just killed one, I would have only been affecting that family and the others would most likely be eternally grateful.

By saving the 5 people you are giving four more people a continued chance of living. The choice would be in my hands and I would rather kill one to save many. I don’t think that I could even bear the guilt of killing the five for the one. I would be able to feel less guilty if I had killed only one. I would try to explain to the one family the choice that I had to make and I would hope that I would understand why I chose to kill the one over the five. Either choice is extremely difficult as neither of the choices are very good. I would have a very difficult time choosing a choice in this situation.

Jesus

I chose this picture of Jesus because to me Jesus is the ultimate comforter and the defender of he weak.  In this picture Jesus is holding someone in his arms, which to me says that his love never fails.  Even in the darkest of times, Jesus is they’re holding us fast to him.  He will never leave us or forsake us. Jesus to me holds us under his wing and protects us form the dangers of life.  He stands with us through it all and prevails above all else.  Jesus is comforter of the weak, protector and sustainer.  His love never leaves.

Moral Issue #2

The news article I read about was about Rev. Terry Jones planning to burn a bunch of Quran’s on September 11,2110. This act was to symbolize his hatred towards the Muslim faith and to make a statement about 9/11. Some people ask whether or not he was doing from a religious aspect or just wanting to get attention. I can understand where he is coming from but at the same time, all Muslim’s are not out to kill people. I think that he is in a since just out for attention.
In my opinion Rev. was truly upset about 9/11 and just wanted something to take his anger out on. He could have planned to express his anger in a more rational way though. The only thing he is going to get by burning the Quran is a bunch of angry Muslims. Just because it was the Muslims who bombed the sights of 9/11 that does no mean that all Muslims are out to get people. The preacher should be putting things into perspective and quit generalizing about bad people.
