384 Words2 Pages

It all happened in a blink of an eye. Rushing to get to a late-night soccer game, a family of deer enjoying a morning stroll across the road was ruined. They must have been attracted to my new CD that I burned the night before. Young ones, just following their parents, were most interested in the downfall of my saturday night. Checking my rearview mirror to see truck tailgating me, I put my faith in the deer 's legs to move a little bit quicker.

When I tell this story to my

    “It isn't fair how I doubt him, and I wonder if he'll ever gather that my loss of faith extends further than I'd ever known it would, severing lines of trust and leveling my confidence like a city-flattening tornado.” “(Webber).” This quote by Tammara Webber shows that no matter how much faith you have before in some situations it may go away in an instant making you not only wonder just how much faith did you lose and the lines of trust that was broken, but also how much you now doubt your god making you slowly grow as a new person gaining confidence as you start to go through more and more soul crushing hardships that make you think at what cost.

  • The Argument About The Dwindling Deers

    594 Words  | 3 Pages

    The argument about the dwindling deer population makes incorrect assumptions based on perfunctory findings. Until more information regarding the actual and previous population of the deers, scientific investigation of the cause of these supposed deaths, or the effects of global warming are obtained; the argument fails to make a coherent case to implicate global warming. The primary assumption that the argument makes are that the reports from the local hunters are accurate. While there is no reason to believe that the hunters purposefully botched the data, this information should be used as a precursor for a more thorough investigation.
