The purpose of this sermon is to show Jonathan Edwards long time consuming thoughts and his idea of wanting to tell the people about his thoughts. People are meant to respond by agreeing with Jonathan Edwards saying they understand what Jonathan Edwards wanted to convey and how they should agree with him too. This piece is translated by changing few words to modern english so people can read and understand the sermon today. In 1741, it may have been recieved as a strong and truthful piece. The most striking part of the semon for me was when he writes "unconverted men" instead of enemies, bad people, etc. It grabs my attention because Jonathan Edwards chose to write it like that and how jonathan wanted to write unconverted men so it sounds not as harsh as enemies.

Time Management and College?
Hello, welcome to my first blog. If your reading this, I thank you for taking your time to click the link that leads to this blog. I really don't know what to write (sorry:c ), but I guess I can write about my week. This week has been tough!! The main lesson I learned was Time Management. This week was mainly about studying and getting work done on time. Not using time wisely can throw off the your course of being successful. Waiting till the last minute to finish work was NOT a great idea:( (and it never will). In addition to studing and doing homework, there was a conversation about college in my family. No matter how hard I try to avoid this conversation, I always get caught. *sigh* life is moving way to fast for me. Theres so many confusions about what college I want to go to, what subject I want to major in, what I would do after college, I wonder if its just me who asks these ques. Weelllll, thats all for this post, it would be nice if you can reply with helpful tips on time management and college. Thanks!!
