Notes

Jesus of Nazareth
Roman power spread to Judea; home of the Jews around 63 B.C.
6 A.D. Rome seized control of the Jewish kingdom and made it a province of the empire.
Biblical tradition told of a Messiah that would come to restore and save the Jews. Jews believed that they would be saved by this Messiah.
Sometime around 6 and 4 B.C., Jesus; a Jew, was born into the town of Bethlehem in Judea.
Raised in Nazareth in northern Palestine, he was baptized under John the Baptist.
Jesus began his public ministry at the age of thirty.
He worked, taught, preached, and performed miracles upon the people.
Most of what is known about Jesus can be found in the gospels in the Bible.
Because Jesus was not about the fame and the glory, he was known by many people. He did not want to be rich or have a high status which the poor liked.
Jesus' Death and Resurrection
Jesus was welcomed into Jerusalem in 29 A.D. by many large crowds and praised. The crowds greeted him as the king or the Messiah. The people thought Jesus was the Messiah but Pilate denied his authority. Pilate did not like how Jesus was being praised so he had him arrested and sentenced to death upon the cross (crucifixion). 
After Jesus' death, he was buried in a stone tomb and he rose from the dead (resurrected) and ascended into heaven.
Christianity Grows among the People 
Christianity spread slowly through the Roman Empire.
Apostle Paul never me Jesus but had a vision of him on one of his trips. Paul used to deny Jesus and persecute Christians for their faith but later in his life, after Jesus had appeared to him, he began to believe in Jesus and spread the word.

            A Message to Garcia is a story that shows that you should just do your job when asked without making an excuse. Elbert Hubbard is basically saying that when you are asked to complete a certain task, don't backtalk or give sass, just do it. I think that he is right that you should do something when you are asked. I disagree with him when he says that he wants to "kick them with a boot" though. I think that you should just encourage them and get them motivated to do their job. If they fail to obey your orders then fire them. When they gather their things to leave, just tell them, "good luck getting a job when you refuse to work".             I think that you should be like Rowan. Rowan had to sneak behind enemy lines in Cuba to complete a risky job, to deliver a letter to the general. He didn't refuse, give up, or even give an excuse. He simply accepted the mission and went to work. Now a man that obeys an order to go behind enemy lines and risk h

Test Grade Finalized As of today, I officially got my first A on a human geo test. I know whoever is reading this is probably like wow it took long enough and yes, it did. I finally got an A on one of his tests instead of getting a thirty percent or a forty. I actually think that my highest was a sixty-nine and now this is my highest. I was actually really glad too because it raised my grade up and now I have all B-ees and two A-s I know that isn't good but I actually have really high B-ees. I am working really hard because I have to raise my gpa. Anyway, I got a ninety-two, not a high A, but an A. Basically we just went over the test during class and that will help for our midterm review and eventually the midterm.

It appears that I have forgotten to write my blog Friday or Saturday. Now I have no excuse and Socrates is probably shocked. Friday we talked about two maps and how they were different and which one was correct and which was incorrect. Then we watched a little film where people were trying to sell maps to people in the White House. It was all fake of course, then we continued to talk about the two maps. Class was mainly about the maps, except for the part in which the girls complained that it was too hot. The Bel Air versus John Carroll game was really fun too. The only thing was I didn't know if I wanted to be at the top of the bleachers or the bottom. If you look at it, if you sit at the top and the structure collapses you have the longest drop. But if you are at the bottom and somebody falls it is human dominoes and you get squished into a pancake. I decided to stand somewhere in the middle and I told my friends if this goes down like dominoes then jump and we will see what happ
