I have to do a 'close reading' on this book for english class, and was hoping anyone could suggest a passage (around 200 words) to focus on? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

A question not recognized {I use to but you saved me?} What did I do? A lot of things like sin and die in the World but overcame sin through Glory. Glory being that 1 unbelieving Name whom saves all Jesus Christ. Our Father {God Almighty} & the Holy Spirit 3 in 1. So was it I? No it was we. For it goes like this. {I once was lost & now I'm found' Twas blind, but now I see. Leviticus 6:4- when he thus sins and becomes guilty, he must return what he has stolen or taken by extortion, or what was entrusted to him, or the lost property he found. Luke 15
The Parable of the Lost Sheep
1Now the tax collectors and "sinners" were all gathering around to hear him. 2But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them."

3Then Jesus told them this parable: 4"Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.' 7I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
The Parable of the Lost Coin
8"Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins[a] and loses one. Does she not light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? 9And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.' 10In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."
The Parable of the Lost Son
11Jesus continued: "There was a man who had two sons. 12The younger one said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property between them.

13"Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. 14After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. 16He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.

17"When he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired men have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired men.' 20So he got up and went to his father.
"But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.

21"The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.[b]'

22"But the father said to his servants, 'Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate. 24For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate.

25"Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. 26So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27'Your brother has come,' he replied, 'and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.'

28"The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. 29But he answered his father, 'Look! All these years I've been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. 30But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!'

31" 'My son,' the father said, 'you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' "

Hi guys we are looking at buying a property with an older house on it, that is too small to have a small family in. Right now it is just us, but in the future we want kids.

We have about 60k to spend, but ideally we would be spending closer to 40k.

Generally speaking of course, what is the most economic solution? Our thought is to either live in the small house while another is being built OR until our prefab is ready, or to renovate the older home and add about 300-400 square feet onto it. My fiance has worked in construction, and is very good with do it yourself stuff, so I think we could definitely save some money doing basic things concerning the reno. I'm assuming the reno would be cheap, but as I'm new to this, no idea what we could safely budget. We would NOT be moving any plumbing, if we add on and redo the kitchen it will be to extend counter space.

Thanks a bunch for any advice.

Its a Kenmore machine, purchased in 2000. It is a top loader. There is no smell of burning. I don't see a belt, which was my first idea, in the parts list. Any ideas and if so, do you think its worth having it repaired?

My son was going to Alexander Grahm Bell, but this year he must go on to a regular school, I do not want him sent on a two hour drive a day bus ride again this year to a school in a crime infested area. I want him to go to the school a few blocks from our house, but they are avoiding accomidating him. We asked them at the end of the last school year what they could provide for his education, and they didnt get back with us, so my husband went over today to have a talk again, and they called back this evening saying they really cant offer him anything. Now I'm mad, what do I do? who do I call? I know he has rights, and going into first grade he needs a special education just for him. His speech has improved dramatically being around his 3 siblings more over the summer, and I want him mainstreamed, but I fear of him being picked on for being the only kid wearing hearing aids, and unless you have been around him alot, it can be hard to understand his speach.

Someone please help.

It was clearly illegal, even at that time. There was a law passed in Ohio in 1816 forbidding private companies to issue money. The bank (Kirtland Safety Society) opened for business in 1837.

The special person and I love each other for 4 years. We went to college togther. For 3 years we had never spoken, just enjoy looking at each other from distances---we both hiden the feeling inside. Before my graduation I told him that I am leaving. Although we did not really know each other, but I knew he cared!

I was very sad because I miss him so much. I thought I was going to forget him because we will never see each other again. But with God wills... I found his website. He wrotes poetries about us. He claims he loves and will wait for me!

I contacted him. We decided to keep in touch as friend because I moved to difference states. Well, we have been e-mail each others and stay friends for over a year now. I really like him.

I want to make the friendship become a long distance relationship---Do you think it is going to be a good idea? or
Should we stay friend until we have a chance to be togther?
Please help. I need your advice and thank you so much
