... After the Beginning
OUTLINE Now, we hear the story of Abram. God tells Abram to travel to the land that He has promised to him and his descendants to make a great nation. Abram travels to Canaan with his nephew, Lot, and his wife, Sarai, and erects an alter for the Lord. Abram then travels to Egypt, acquiring wealth during his stay there. Later, Abram and Lot decide to part ways, with Lot living in Sodom, and Abram living in Canaan. In Sodom, Lot is captured by an enemy army. Abram saves him by defeating the foes with 318 men. The king of Sodom wants to repay Abram for what he has done, but Abram denies his treasures. Abram returns home, and the Lord comes and speaks to him. Abram asks for an heir, and God tells him not to worry for his descendants shall be as numerous as the stars. The Lord made a covenant with Abram, promising the land to his descendants.

Arrows and Roses - Chapter 4
➳ Thanatos held out the thermos his mother had given him, rehearsing the lines carefully in his head before knocking. "It’s cold. I brought you some hot chocolate. Lady Persephone visited a place on the way home that sold chocolate rich in flavour. They told her it makes excellent hot chocolate. I thought you might like it.”

In The Beginning
OUTLINE Genesis starts by describing the creation and the beginning of everything. God creates light, dark, the sky, land, sea, and the plants and animals that inhabit the earth. He makes the sun, moon, and stars. God created man in his image from dirt, breathed life into him, and gifted him all of his creation. Then, God created the Garden of Eden with the tree of life and the tree of knowledge in the center. God placed man in the garden to tend to it, but warned not to eat from the tree of knowledge, stating that Adam would obey God. God decided that man should not be alone so, He took one of Adam’s ribs and created woman. The serpent deceived Eve into eating fruit from the tree of knowledge, and she gave some to Adam; their eyes were opened. God punished them for what they had done, going against His command. He cursed the woman with the pain of childbirth and to live under her husband’s authority. Man is cursed to work the land for food until he dies. God then banishes Adam and Eve from the garden of Eden.

Psychological Approaches: Psychodynamic
When most people think of psychology, they think of psychotherapy. They picture themselves sitting on the couch, talking to a therapist about their problems, their childhood memories and experiences, their dreams, etc. This view, or approach, is but one of many in the broader field of psychology. This approach is often called the psychodynamic approach to psychology.

Madame Ethelinda
In a little town, upon a hill, there was an old castle. An old woman lived there. This woman’s name was Madame Ethelinda. She was said to possess great affluence. Not many people had seen her leave her home. Madame Ethelinda had a daughter who came a checked up on her periodically and bought her what she needed. The old castle had once been very magnificent. Now the building had lost its grandeur and was dilapidated. One who looked at the structure could barely discern what patterns were in the brick because there were copious amounts of leafy vines covering it.

She-Ra Is the Best New 'Star Wars'
For whatever reason, Netflix has consistently put out quality cartoon reboots of 80s properties; Voltron, Castlevania, Carmen Sandiego. But the one that I am constantly surprised by just how genuinely good it is, is She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. This show is not only a great science-fantasy show, but it’s giving me the fix I need that I should be getting from Disney’s Star Wars sequels.

The World Is Your Oyster
You awaken to an unusual aroma, one that may have been markedly putrid if you hadn't already gone nose-blind to its pungency during your contiguous state of blissful slumber. Strangely enough, this was the first night in quite some time now that you hadn't suffered severe insomnia, a compelling phenomenon considering you ran out of melatonin three nights prior.

Arrows and Roses - Chapter 3
Thanatos stifled a groan. It wasn’t that he wanted to be paired up with Erosa. But being in the same room as the woman did something strange to him. Seeing her again only reminded him of what he wanted but he always believed he could never have.
