I hurried into Examtestview the local department store to grab1 some last 100-105 dumps minute Chirsmas gifts. I looked at all the 100-105 dumps people and grumbled2 100-105 dumps to myself.

I kinda wished that I could Bestexamview just sleep through 300-101 dumps Chirsmas. But I hurried the best I could through all the people 100-105 dumps Catalyst 3850 Installation Guide to the toy department. Once again I kind of mumbled3 to myself at Examtestview the NetFlow Configuration prices of all these toys, and wondered if the grandkids would even play 300-101 dumps whit4 them.

And NetFlow Configuration then 100-105 dumps she left the aisle. The Bestexamview boy continued to hold the doll. After a bit I asked the boy Catalyst 3850 Installation Guide NetFlow Configuration Examtestview who the doll was Catalyst 3850 Installation Guide Bestexamview for. He said, “It is Bestexamview the Catalyst 3850 Installation Guide doll my sister wanted so badly for Chirsmas.

I Bestexamview have to give the doll to my Mama to take to Cisco Catalyst 3850 Configuration her. “I asked him where his siter was. He looked at me with the saddest eyes and said, “She Bestexamview was gone to be with 100-105 dumps Jesus. NetFlow Configuration

My Daddy says that Mamma is going to have to Examtestview go be with her.” My heart nearly stopped beating. Cisco Catalyst 3850 Configuration Then the boy looked at me again and said, “I told my Daddy to tell my Mama not to go yet. I Bestexamview told him to tell her to wait till I got back from the 300-101 dumps store.” 100-105 dumps Then Bestexamview he asked me 100-105 dumps if i wanted to see his picture.

I love my NetFlow Configuration Mama so very much and I wish she dind not have 300-101 dumps to leave me.But Daddy says she will Catalyst 3850 Installation Guide need Examtestview to be with my sister.” I saw that the little boy had lowered his head and had grown so qiuet. While he was not looking I reached into my purse and pilled out a NetFlow Configuration handful of bills. I 300-101 dumps Cisco Catalyst 3850 Configuration asked the little boy, Catalyst 3850 Installation Guide “Shall we count that miney 300-101 dumps one Cisco Catalyst 3850 Configuration more time?” He grew excited and said, “Yes,I just know it has to be Examtestview enough.” So I slipped my money in with his and we began to count Examtestview it .

She loves white rose Bestexamview so much. “In a few minutes the aunt came back and I wheeled my cart away. I could not keep from thinking about the little boy as I finished my shoppong in a ttally different spirit than when I had started.

The family was deciding Catalyst 3850 Installation Guide on whether to 300-101 dumps remove the 100-105 dumps life support.

I could not forget 300-101 dumps the little boy and just kept 300-101 dumps wondering Examtestview Catalyst 3850 Installation Guide if the two were somehow connected. Later Cisco Catalyst 3850 Configuration that day, I could not help myself and I went out and bought NetFlow Configuration aome Cisco Catalyst 3850 Configuration white roses and took them to the funeral home where the yough woman was .And there Cisco Catalyst 3850 Configuration she was holding a lovely white rose, the beautiful doll, and the picture of the little boy in the store. I left there in tears, thier life changed forever. The love that little boy had for his little sisiter and his mother was overwhel. And in a split8 second a drunk driver had ripped9 the life of that little boy to pieces.

There can be no question that Eastern University is home to many talented, inspirational professors. However, their knowledge and expertise go far beyond the classroom. Many of Eastern’s own have published books, journals and articles on subjects ranging from theology to dance.

Director of Advising and Lecturer in Christian Ethics, Professor Julie Vemeer Elliott was published in the New York Times and in Christianity Today back in 2008. Her articles connect ethics, theology and reality television.

Dr. Phillip Carey, philosophy professor and Scholar-in-Residence, has written three books about Augustine, all of which were published by the Oxford Press. His most recent and best-known work, “Good News for Anxious Christians,” has been given rave reviews in Christianity Today as well as on many independent websites.

Karen Clemente, professor of dance, has had her work featured in a variety of journals and publications. She also contributed substantially to the Journal of Dance Education in an issue about dance and spirituality.

Recently, English professor Anne Francois published “Rewriting the Return to Africa: Voices of Francophone Carribean Writers.” Her book explores race, culture and gender and has been a definite success.

Rebecca Gidjunis, also an English professor, has had her poetry published in The Journal of Feminist Studies in Religion, The Cincinnati Review, Quarter After Eight and the 2008 anthology Woman.Period. Gidjunis’ poetry chapbook, “The Schwenkfelders” was co-winner of the 2009 Keystone Chapbook Prize and published by Seven Kitchen Press. This collection is focused on poems about her ancestors.

“Publishing a book was a wonderful experience,” Gidjunis said. The most wonderful part of having her work in print was that she was able to dedicate it to her grandmother, Mollie. Mollie is Gidjunis’ hero and the keeper of their family history. Mollie passed away from cancer this year.

“Having this book published while she was still alive was one of the greatest experiences of my life … she was so supportive and proud that I thought our family history was worth recording,” Gidjunis said.

Eastern professors are sure to continue impacting the world not only through their teaching, but also through their writing. “I am so grateful that I was able to preserve and playfully imagine our family’s history through this project and make my grandmother smile at the memories.” Gidjunis said.
