"Conserve, Reuse, Recycle"

Semrau's point is revealed in this phrase: "Quite simply, us what you have until it can no longer function. Then it's time to recycle."Semrau intentionally keeps some important information from you throughout the article until the end on purpose.  This helps the intent of the essay a lot. If you knew from the beginning that he was going to be a cadaver at med school, you probably would not have been as interested in the article from the start. A seventy five year old man just starting to go to school to be a surgeon seems a little strange and makes you think of all the things you could try until you die.  He only focuses on reusing himself and his abilities to help do things for other.  But in the end you learn that by going to med school he is actually recycling himself by donating his own body for research, a very big sacrifice to some people. By intentionally not telling us this kind of information makes the reader want to continue reading and find out how he was planning on doing this, and I am pretty sure that no one would see him becoming a cadaver coming at the end.

"Savior of the Nations, Come"

In the Lutheran hymn "Savior of the Nations, Come", by Martin Luther, is about how wonderful and glorious Christ's coming was, and how great His second coming will be.  In the hymn he uses diction to help better explain what he is talking about and put more accurate images in the readers head. In the phrase, "Wondrous birth! O wondrous Child Of the Virgin undefiled!", he uses the word "undefiled" which makes the reader know how pure Mary was at Christ's birth.  He was born of a virgin's birth, which shows how miraculous Jesus actually was. Luther also uses the phrase, "Boundless shall Thy kingdom be; When shall we its glories see?" and with the a word like "boundless," that explains how great and endless Heaven, God's kingdom will be. Luther uses great diction to explain how how grand Christ's first coming to the earth for His people and absolutely wonderful Christ's second coming will be. He praises Christ for everything he has done for everyone and how gracious we should be towards God and Christ. Luther does a good job of explaining all that Christ has done for everyone and what he continues to do for them every day.

The Correct Sermon

32; makes, slain, is, took, died, lives, died, rose, reigns, push, telling, calling, is there.

When comparing the theme of  Borghardt's sermon to the theme Edwards' sermon, it is safe to say that they are very different. Borghardt's sermon kept talking about Jesus and what He does for us. He kept talking about how Jesus gave his life for us so that we could one day be in heaven with Him. While Edward's sermon only talks about God and what He could to the people of the world. He goes on about how God could at any moment destroy everyone and everything and only the punishment we deserve, when people shouldn't be scared of loving God, but love God for sending His Son for us.

Items on mirrors

In the article "Law banning items from rearview mirrors is being rethought," written by Matt Helms, Helms is explaining how having items hanging from your rearview mirror is actually illegal.  Even when most people have them and do not get in trouble for having them.  Since the law is barely enforced, some people are trying change the ban to less strict, allowing small items that will not obstruct your vision as you drive. 
"Some things are gaudy, and I could understand banning that, but this air freshener doesn't distract my view."  Some items are not very easy to see the road with, but most do not obstruct your vision barely at all.
I agree that the ban should be loosened up a little.  Not all items are distracting during driving, and there would be no problem having some of the items to stay there.  With this ban police cars can not just pull you over because you look suspicious, which is one of the reasons he still has it.

It's not about race

In Mitch Albom's article, "It's not race, LeBron James, but it might be you," he explains the situation with LeBron James's drop of fame.  After he left Cleveland's basketball team to go to the Miami Heat he became one of the sixth most hated players in the NBA. By asking the question "Do you think there's a role that race plays in this?" to LeBron, he is able to blame all his problems on the fact that he is black.  Mitch Albom is trying to explain that this question should never have been asked in the first place and not everything should be blamed on race. Now that this question has been asked, it is easy to blame it on that.
I agree with Albom's point in his article.   So many things have been blamed on race, and it is starting to get a little bit ridiculous.  The question should have never been asked. LeBron is not the sixth most hated player in the NBA because he is black, it is because he disappointed all his fans.
Mitch Albom's strongest point is when he asks if his race was considered a factor when LeBron was drafted number one out of high school or voted MVP.  It was not even considered because it had nothing to do with it, and it still doesn't.  LeBron's ego got the best of him and now he is able to blame it on his race.
