ENGLCOM ENTRY 1

September 22 - 25 Journal 1

Monday:

We discussed about the previous activity which measured how we critically think and solve the problems that we will be encountering in the future. The specific problem given to us is stated below:

There occurred a doomsday event. Ten survivors have to choose six within their group to start a new generation of the human race. The ten survivors are as follow : A young priest, a pregnant housewife, an architect, an old doctor, a young entertainer, a professor/philosopher, a farmer, a middle-aged social worker, an elderly scientist and a young artist.

What really caught our attention was the answer of the last group that presented. They wanted the young priest to preach God's teachings to the next generation and yet they want him to be the father of the next generation. This led us to a debate regarding spreading the gospel of God and yet not applying it. The priest will violate his good morale and commitment to God if ever he is forced to mate with the entertainer.

The activity really needs a lot of critical thinking to arrive at the right decision. It gave us a sneak peek to what critical thinking really mean.

Tuesday:

We had an activity that would help us apply critical thinking through reading. The professor asked us to read and explain a specific quote.

"Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare."

The quote said that setting a goal is pleasant but if you don't do anything to reach it then it will merely be a dream; and on the other hand, doing something for nothing leaves you with wasted time and effort.

Wednesday:

Main idea and details was further explained to us by the professor. Main idea being the key concept of a selection while on the other hand, details being the support of the main idea. Skimming, scanning, context clues and other forms of reading strategies were also tackled.

Thesis statements and topic sentences were compared and contrasted. The main idea of the entire selection is what you call the thesis statement while the main idea per paragraph of a selection is called the topic sentence.

Skimming and Scanning were also compared and contrasted. Skimming, a form of speed reading, is used to get the main idea or key concept of a selection while scanning, another form of speed reading, is used to get details.

The professor gave us a test activity that helped us determine the differences of skimming and scanning. We used skimming and scanning to answer the questions given. I'm sure that we will do a lot of skimming and scanning along the way. Hopefully, I get to buy the book for ENGLCOM so I don't have to borrow and it would help me read a lot easier.

Thursday:

We tackled the topic "context clues" which would help us determine the meaning of highfaluting words in a selection. She told us to answer activities in the book that contains context clues.

Reasons why people believe in God..

Christine Bible is the book sacred to Christians, which they consider to be the inspired word of God. The Bible includes the Old Testament, which contains the sacred books of the Jews, and the New Testament, which begins with the birth of Jesus. Arguments rose because people want solid evidences that would make the Bible 100% true. The miracles that happened and words of God are written by human so, it could have been easily faked. Many people want scienctific evidences to believe.

I know that how we are put together in a way that can't be explained by science, but still, I think people believe in God because there just has to be something more.

When the people around you die, is that it? You live on earth for nothing at all? What would be the purpose in that? Human life just can't be here for no reason, and I believe that turns our hearts toward a belief in God.

Another thing that makes the people believe is suffering. What would be the purpose of suffering, or of anything for that matter, if there is no God? God doesn't take away suffering. To do that He would have to take away our free will, but he does go through it with us, and helps us. Suffering either builds us into better humans, or it shows that we are not such great humans. In one case, people look to God. In the other, people still look to God - to blame Him or worse people stop believing because their prayers were unanswered.

Where there is suffering, there is happiness. People believe in God because they find happiness in doing such. The joy of being alive, accomplishing something, having a perfect score in a test or maybe just being with your friends makes us humans believe more.

There are many reasons to believe in God, and these are only a few. Only faith binds us and these reasons to believe in God.

Eucharistic Miracle

The Most Holy Eucharistic Miracle of Santarem, Portugal

The Miracle happened in the village of Santarem Portugal, occured in February 16 1247 when a woman tried to snatch a Consecrated Host as a Jewish Sorceress told her to do to solve her husband's adultery issues.

The Host miraculously bled as the woman kept it in a knot, wrapped in a veil. The night after the first miracle, the Host was freed from the knot and elevated by angels who sang divine praises. They needed a priest to seal it in a ball of melted bees wax to stop the bleeding.

Nineteen years passed and an investigation was held, it was discovered that a second miracle occured. The Host had freed itself from the wax ball and was now in a little crystal ampoule.

The ampoule became a piece of relic. People started visiting the relic but as time passed by, the ampoule stopped its miraculous bleeding as the parts of the ampoule broke and the Host corrupted.

The Relics were scientifically analyzed in 1997 and was proven to be genuine and of a supernatural origin. It was again sealed in the Shrine of the Most Holy Miracle --- the Church of Saint Stephen of the Holy Miracle.
