My truth by minimal persuasion. In reading pages 23-28, "what stuck"; the
comparison of define vs. explain.
"Discussing what life is about, in pursuit of truth and beauty."
Where there is truth there is also beauty.
When I share with others my truths in life will they see beauty or will persuasion be the
means to getting their vote?

"Seahawks Onward To The Superbowl"
"My Simple Pleasures"
"Football"
I watched Russell Wilson and his teammates gather together after the game bowing their heads.
These are the words I heard Russell speak, "God is good." He paid recognition to his team and their spirit of believing in each other.

ESPN reports: You can't blame Russell Wilson for being
emotional. The Seattle Seahawks quarterback had just finished an
amazing comeback against the Green Bay Packers in the NFC
championship game Sunday and was interviewed by FOX reporter
Erin Andrews. He was clearly emotional and broke down in tears.

"Rights"

Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968) was a Baptist minister and
social activist who played a key role in the American civil
rights movement from the mid-1950s until his assassination in
1968. Inspired by advocates of nonviolence such as Mahatma
Gandhi, King sought equality for African Americans, the
economically disadvantaged and victims of injustice through
peaceful protest. He was the driving force behind legislation
as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of
1965. King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 and
is remembered each year on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a
U.S. federal holiday since 1986.

"Peers"
cafeteria we shared ideas about our writing assignment.
We each offered insight and advise to one another. Our
discussions relished around the following topics:
1)appreciation of the basic necessities that we have available
in our country, 2)dreams that once were and making the most
of our current journey, 3)why things happen in the exact time
and order that they happen, and 4)the power of divine
intervention. Positive energy circulating in our midst. What a
privileged to share my afternoons with this group of people.

"Birdwatching"
Earlier this month, January 2015 we purchased a bird
feeder and hung it over our deck making it visible to watch
indoors and out. This feeder continues to attract a variety of
song birds. The birds come to eat and while they eat I watch
and enjoy how their presence enhances the environment with
the beauty of their color and the sound of their song.
(chickadees, finches, house wrens, etc...) Researching this hobby that is known watching birds, I discovered that birdwatching can do wonders for physical and mental well-being. Each new bird that visits we
refer to our book,
The Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Birds, Miklos D. F. Udvardy Knopf.

“An apple a day keeps the doctor away”? You could say
that about birds. Sure, birdwatching, photographing and
feeding birds is a fun hobby, but there’s much more to it than
that. This simple activity can provide major health benefits
and add to the quality of life for just about anyone.

John James Audubon (April 26, 1785 – January 27,
1851), born Jean-Jacques Audubon, was an American
ornithologist, naturalist, and painter. He was notable for his
expansive studies to document all types of American birds
and for his detailed illustrations that depicted the birds in their
natural habitats. His major work, a color-plate book entitled
The Birds of America (1827–1839), is considered one of the
finest ornithological works ever completed. (Wikipedia)

"Who Will Replace Marcus Mariota?"
"Who will replace Mariota?"
Who is Marcus Mariota?
Wikipedia: Marcus Ardel Taulauniu Mariota, (born
October 30, 1993) is an American footballquarterback. He
played college football at the University of Oregon and was
the Ducks starting quarterback from 2012 to 2014. Mariota
won the Heisman Trophy as a junior in 2014.
Mariota is of Samoan and German descent.[1] He was
born in Honolulu to Toa Mariota and Alana Deppe-Mariota. He
grew up admiring the quarterback play of Jeremiah Masoli, a
fellowSamoan American, who was also a standout
quarterback at the all-boys Catholic St. Louis Highand
University of Oregon.[2] Mariota is a Christian.[3]

featured columnist, Brian Pedersen
Mariota, who officially announced Wednesday that he
would pass up his final season of eligibility to enter the NFL
draft, will leave school as the most decorated player in
program history. But beyond being the reigning Heisman
Trophy winner, Mariota leaves behind a reputation as one of
the most well-liked athletes in recent memory.

In addition to pursuing and finishing his general science
degree during his time at Oregon,Moseley added that outside
of the football field, Mariota regularly mentored local youth at
the Boys and Girls Club of Emerald Valley, Ore.

Let me ask, "Is it possible to replace a person?"
The Oregon Ducks can replace their open quarterback
position that was once held by Marcus Mariota but
they cannot replace the person of Marcus Mariota. Every
individual is unique. In addition to the skill set
that they bring to the role, they also bring their
personality and God-given gifts that are uniquely their
own and ARE NOT REPLACEABLE.

Causeability introduced, Theory of Human Motivation by
Maslow Hierachy
Maslow Hierachy
It was in 1943 a Psychologist Mr. Abraham Harold Maslow
suggested hisTheory of Human Motivation. His theory is
one popular and extensively cited theory of motivation.
Maslow's theory is based on the Hierarchy of Human
Needs. According to Maslow, human behavior is related to
his needs. It is adjusted as per the nature of needs to be
satisfied. In hierarchy of needs theory, Maslow identified five
types / sets of human need arranged in a hierarchy of their
importance and priority. He concluded that when one set of
needs is satisfied, it ceases to be a motivating factor.
Thereafter, the next set of needs in the hierarchy order takes
its place. These needs in hierarchy can be compared to a
pyramid. At the lowest level, there will be first set of needs
which can be described as basic needs and are universal in
character. This will be followed by other sets of needs.

1.7.2015 "Is it ever okay to kill someone?"
Tim Dees, Retired cop and criminal justice professor, Reno Police Department, Reno Municipal Court, and Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribal Police Department
The question doesn't provide a context for being "OK." There
is a difference between being legally "okay" and and being
morally "okay."
is a difference between being legally "okay" and and being
morally "okay."
Legally, the state may execute criminals after due process
of law. Members of the military may kill adverse combatants
on the battlefield. Law enforcement officers can use deadly
force to defend their own lives, to defend the life of another,
or to apprehend a dangerous fleeing felon (the word
"dangerous" being an important distinction there).
A private citizen's legal ability to use deadly varies with
the jurisdiction. In some states with so-called "make my day"
laws, one may use deadly force to protect a dwelling or some
property.
Whether it is morally permissible to kill someone is a
much more complex question, and has a lot to do with your
personal views on violence. A strict practitioner of non-
violence might lay down their life before they would rise up
against another, even to defend themselves or a loved one.
