![]() ![]() Understanding what Paul and Jesus were teaching Some may think this is a contradiction, but when we actually study the passages in context we can understand what is going on. So Paul says thieves do not go to heaven, whereas Jesus said at least one did. ![]() Yet Luke 23:39-43 says that one of the thieves that were crucified with Jesus was going to be with Jesus in paradise that very day. ![]() In this passage, Paul says twice that any of these sinners will not go to heaven. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.” “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Can a thief or any other kind of sinner go to heaven? Take a look at 1 Corinthians 6:9-10: ![]() ![]() Geertz’s first collection of essays, The Interpretation of Cultures (1973), made him a leading voice of anthropology’s “symbolic” movement, which believed scholars should read the signs and symbols of a culture from the perspective of its natives. ![]() By the second half of the twentieth century, however, some scholars were beginning to question this Western bias in cultural studies. This allowed Western powers to justify their policy of colonizing foreign lands in the name of “civilizing” them. Native cultures were almost always judged to fall short in comparison to colonialists’ standards. Previous generations of anthropologists had imported their own value systems and culture, regardless of which part of the world they were studying. American anthropologist Clifford Geertz (1926–2006) earned his PhD from the prestigious Harvard University, where he followed the interdisciplinary approach pioneered by the institution’s Department of Social Relations. ![]() ![]() ![]() Will Ladybug Hug puts consent in a context kids both understand and recognize, making it a memorable piece for caregivers to refer back to in the event of a teaching moment. ![]() With a paper cutout illustration style, this picture book has a repetitive beat to it perfect for toddlers and beyond. Leung introduces nuance to this kid-appropriate discussion on consent by describing different kinds and degrees of hugs that are okay according to each character’s preferences. ![]() Ladybug loves hugs! As we meet a new animal friend on each page, Ladybug assesses whether or not her friend is interested in a hug. Will Ladybug Hug? by Hilary Leung, illustrated by Hilary Leung Representing both sides of consent-the skills to ask for and refuse-these picture books are appropriate for a range of ages from toddlers to school-age children. Fortunately, there are picture books about consent for children that can help kickstart these conversations. ![]() Often with lots of love to give and little autonomy, they can easily run into the challenges around forced physical contact. Consent is a hugely important topic for young children. ![]() ![]() I know that Dokey writes about half the book before she gets the ball rolling but this one took so much longer. However, what bothered me the most was that it takes forever to get anything started. The relationship Cendrillon (Cinderella) has with her step family is different. Which sounds interesting in theory but you hardly get to see the dad and the war part isn't used as much as I would've liked. In Ella Enchanted it was the curse, in Just Ella the prince isn't charming but stupid, and I could go on but that would take a while. There is always something different about each retelling that I've read. Its got the basic framework of all the Cinderella retellings: mother dies (check), stepmother and sisters(check), and a happily-ever-after with the prince (check). ![]() ![]() I've read a few more Cinderella retellings since then so it's hard to give it any new twists or magic. ![]() Maybe I should have read this book earlier when I was 13 and a fresh book lover. ![]() ![]() ![]() Marcus knew the secret of how to live the good life amid trying and often catastrophic circumstances, of how to find happiness and peace when surrounded by misery and turmoil, and of how to choose the harder right over the easier wrong without apparent regard for self-interest. Marcus Aurelius ruled the Roman Empire at its height, yet he remained untainted by the incalculable wealth and absolute power that had corrupted many of his predecessors. HEALTHY AND ROBUST? ON THIS HANGS EVERYTHING.Įssayist Matthew Arnold described the man who wrote these words as "the most beautiful figure in history." Possibly so, but he was certainly more than that. MEASURE OF A MAN IS THE WORTH OF THE THINGS HE CARES ABOUT. ![]() ![]() ![]() "As the universe has its own natural way of emerging and acting, so too does each thing or class of things have its own manner of development. Dao is the way things are meant to be, the telos. Unlike their Greco counterparts who enjoyed leisure, the founding fathers of Chinese philosophy wrote with a sense of urgency and pragmatism.Ĭonfucius taught in this period, and his cosmology centered around Tian, or Heaven, that laid out a specific Dao, or way. ![]() As a result, there was pressure on rulers to incorporate meritocracy and attract brilliant officials who could make his state flourish and seem more attractive to the common citizen. One of the key factors that decided the might of a state was the number of its citizens. In the period of the warring states, where many of the foundations of Chinese philosophy was laid, states competed against each other across the board and citizens were often free to move between states. With that said, I’ve decided to share these unedited notes on the off chance they are helpful to other readers. ![]() These notes were created during my reading process to aid my own understanding and not written for the purpose of instruction. ![]() My preferred way of engaging with books is reconstruction. ![]() ![]() ![]() And the key to halting them might very well rely on Cassian and Nesta facing their haunting pasts.Īgainst the sweeping backdrop of a world seared by war and plagued with uncertainty, Nesta and Cassian battle monsters from within and without as they search for acceptance-and healing-in each other’s arms. Meanwhile, the treacherous human queens who returned to the Continent during the last war have forged a dangerous new alliance, threatening the fragile peace that has settled over the realms. The fire between them is undeniable, and only burns hotter as they are forced into close quarters with each other. ![]() ![]() But her temper isn’t the only thing Cassian ignites. The one person who ignites her temper more than any other is Cassian, the battle-scarred warrior whose position in Rhysand and Feyre’s Night Court keeps him constantly in Nesta’s orbit. Worse, she can’t seem to move past the horrors of the war with Hybern and all she lost in it. And ever since being forced into the Cauldron and becoming High Fae against her will, she’s struggled to find a place for herself within the strange, deadly world she inhabits. ![]() Nesta Archeron has always been prickly-proud, swift to anger, and slow to forgive. Categories: Fantasy, New Adult, Adult, Romance, Family, Friendship, Mature Audience ![]() ![]() While not my favorite, it was still sweet and enjoyable. I liked the premise of the story, and I liked both Sam and Hunter, but for me, the flow of the story was too slow and I found myself wanting to skim ahead. The story flowed well and although short, it felt complete. I loved watching the feud between Wyatt and Grayson unfold. This was a funny enemies to lovers story. I’m looking forward to seeing what the future holds for them. Isamu and Brian had good chemistry and I loved the NYC setting. Locey gave us just enough of Isamu and Brian to get us hooked and salivating for more. You’ll be entertained, as well as be supporting some great causes! I also love that all the proceeds go to some great charities, so go one-click your copy today. ![]() Overall, while not all of these stories were a hit for me, I definitely found a few gems here along the way. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Language English Access restrictionsFor use in library only - available to be viewed at Frankston Library (60 Playne Street Frankston VIC 3199) Dewey NumberLH A823.
