Some study stress relief with good Bollywood scenes

STUDY BREAKKKKKK by Gabriela Yareliz (wink) A dose from Dil Bole Hadippa: YOU FROM ENGLISH scene, hilarious. Perfectly ESOL. A dose from Mere Brother Ki Dulhan.

Study break

By: Gabriela Yareliz THANK GOD! Yes. I finished my Civ Pro outline. I feel like crying, and like an invalid. I can’t feel my knees or legs. I have been sitting here for hours this week.

Issues of Life: Who we really are

By: Gabriela Yareliz This morning, I was listening to a message by one of my favorite philosophers, Ravi Zacharias, and he was talking about the heart of man. Man has a heart that is evil in nature, it is wicked, and betraying. In John chapter 2, Jesus had just performed a miracle, and the people wantedContinue reading “Issues of Life: Who we really are”
