The Point

I wrote a paper for my media reflection.

Something about that moment.....

The Moments

"Life is not a matter of milestones, but a matter of moments." -Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy

The still quiet moments in which our hearts are drenched in the substance of fear usually take place when we see the inevitable, destructive remnants of the fall of man. Humanity's destructive behavior is continual. Therefore as journalists we have an obligation to record all of the moments in which humanity's behavior is at its worst, and at its best. The moments in which our country, nation, or even our world experiences universal feelings of utopia, awe, sadness, fear, or exuberance is important because the God who created us feels all of those things with us.

THE Ultimate Storyteller

"All directors are storytellers." -Spike Lee


God is the ultimate storyteller. In the book of Job it can be seen that because he created words, he is the only one who can use them at their best. We as humans have an obligation to tell stories, because our lives are stories. God writes our story for us every day that we are here on Earth. He takes us to highs and lows, and gives vivid imagery of when we succeed and even when we fail.




Our Obligation

 "Journalism is the first draft of history." -Benjamin C. Bradlee


Journalists have a great job, because they get to tell these stories that God has hand crafted to the world. Stories can heal, stories can explain the very essence of our humanity. Therefore I feel a great need as a journalist to tell stories through my writing that heal and liberate the world.
