Sonnet For the Slain: Spiritual Suicide (English-Style Sonnet Poem) Absent ever to turn thy gaze away; Vexed be— the pith of birth erelong to thee. Death's grip he knows, linger in thy dismay; Prudence spoils himself, corrupt he be. Now stands the pyrrhonist with sights amiss, Of doom, of spite, of wayward enterprise; Oh be Nature, yes the timeless witness! Dawns veils of change— be man's greatest disguise. His heart decayed, prideful steps be thy walk. He wears thy crown lik

Discussion Thread: The Power of Story The common wish for most people that I have noticed is to seek to involve their lives in a more diverse lifestyle and tends to make traveling the world a part of their lifelong goal. This was one of the primary reasons I enlisted in the U.S. Air Force was the opportunity for a diverse life with some travel. However, I wasn’t so lucky and remained stuck in the States for the entirety of my enlistment. Diversity and understanding is what m

Why Continue Despite the Outcome: A Reflection on Course Goals I would have to preface this discussion by firstly denoting that because this is the first time in my life to further my academic studies at a collegiate level, it has indeed prepared me to be an online student. Though, there is more to my reception of studies with Liberty University than merely just stating this obvious fact. It is how I am now going to implement this experience for the better in growing in my

The Literature Led Lifestyle: A Personal Take On the Biblical Worldview There is a relative quality between a Biblical worldview and the manner in which I conduct my approach to just about everything in life. This personal approach I have unknowingly applied to my engagements with life long ago, but it is more recognizable now in my recent years. It is more apparent to me now because for one I am older; and secondly because I have now given this a name which now has me more

Discussion Thread: Microsoft CoPilot Reflections Which aspect of Copilot’s feedback felt most useful to you—content suggestions, clarity improvements, stylistic advice, or something else? Why? The overall use of the Copilot tool is, nonetheless, useful when used appropriately, of course. It can be a great foundational tool for measuring a student’s work and provide them with a scope of directional criticisms to expand their skills and writing ability. However, since this is a

Discussion Thread: Christian Worldview and Writer's Block The material both Ronk and Conner provide us with could I believe could not be any more parallel to that of my own understanding concerning similar, if not the very same, subject matter for a Christian worldview. Ronk highlights the words of theologian and minister, Philip Ryken, as he briefly, yet decorously describes the biblical worldview by stating, “necessary beliefs that consist(s) of what we assume to be fact

Discussion Thread: Training Champions for Christ The “Training Champions for Christ” video greatly provides the underlying message behind the importance of the Gospel and deploying the essential core values needed for students and others alike. It offers the capabilities to effectively progress in our education; seek out necessary resources pertinent to our own personal cause; and above all, grow ever more with the Lord at the forefront of our path in life. This brief visual

In light of tomorrow's worldly event from the solar eclipse, this had me once more entertaining myself over the supposed "conundrum" of our vast universe and about how it is ever so "expanding." This theory, yes, I did say "theory" as this is quite a claim even from the greatest of minds of scholarly, scientific, distinguished reputation like that of notable astrophysicists Neil deGrasse Tyson, the great Stephen Hawking, and even the popular Edwin Hubble, having provided the

Part A: Inspiration from Genshin Impact Many people, of course, say what they will about video games. I, for one, don't always "play" for simply recreational purposes or just to use as an escape from daily life although I do just that much of the time as well. However, contrary to popular criticism towards the realm of gaming many of the games I entertain myself with usually come from that of a more deeper meaning. Games that use symbolism, that tell a great story, that
