Compare and contrast Christianity and Islam

There are many similarities between Christianity and Islam, here are three of them:
  1. Both say that there is One God.
  2. And that God is sovereign, he rules history.
  3. Both believe in a Heaven and Hell and God's future judgment.

There are many differences between Christianity and Islam, here are three of them:

  1. Christians believe in the Trinity; Muslims believe God is indivisible.
  2. Christians believe that as a member of the Trinity, Jesus is the Son of God. Muslims believe that Jesus was conceived by an act of God and though not the Son of God, is like Muhammad, a highly respected Prophet.
  3. Christians believe that when we die, we are immediately judged and sent to Heaven or Hell (or Purgatory in the Catholic faith, where Christian souls can do penance to prepare for Heaven and non-Christians can languish until the final Judgment Day). Muslims believe in barzakh, an interim afterlife similar to Purgatory, where spirits wait Judgment Day.

How do you believe music therapy benefits your child?

I think music therapy benefits my daughter because she is going to be three months on the 22 and she never laughed or played (kicking, making faces) but ever sense I started taking her to music therapy she smiles and makes noises when you talk to her. I love the way she kicks and screams in music therapy class because it makes her so happy. So when we go home I sing the songs that we sing in music therapy to her and she starts to laugh its the cutest thing. i love music therapy class!

Blow Fish






The Puffer fish is also known as the blowfish, fugu, swellfish, and globefish. It is called the puffer fish because when it is threatened, it puffs up to about twice its normal size by gulping water. In this engorged state, the puffer fish can swim at only about half its normal speed.
There are about 100 species of puffer fish. Most puffer fish are found in sub-tropical and tropical marine waters (including coral reefs) in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. Some puffers live in brackish and fresh water.



What Do Puffer Fish Eat?


In the ocean, the porcupine puffer feeds on mollusks (clams and squid) and echinoderms (long-spined sea urchin). In a tank, the puffer can eat live or frozen squid, shrimp, mussels, and all kinds of chopped up fish. Puffer fish crush and grind up their prey with their heavy, fused teeth.



What Are Some Characteristics of Their Appearances?


The puffer fish grows to a maximum length of twelve inches and is a pale brown color. It has black or brown spots scattered on its body and a fan-like dorsal fin. The puffer also has plate-sheath teeth that are solid and spines that are laid down, when it is not inflated.




How Do They Reproduce?


Early in the morning, one male and one female swim to the surface where eggs and sperm are released leading to be the eggs fertilized. Four days later, the eggs hatch releasing a round-bodied larva. After three months, the larva has transformed into a small porcupine fish.



Poison: Many parts of the blowfish (including the liver, muscles, skin, and ovaries) contain an extremely strong, paralyzing poison called tetrodoxin. This poison is about a thousand times deadlier than cyanide. There is no known antidote for this poison. Fugu (torafugu or fugu rubripes, Japanese puffer fish) is eaten in Japan, but is only cooked by specially-trained chefs who can minimize the amount of poison. Even so, many Japanese diners have died from eating this poisonous delicacy.

Vanessa’s Biography
Chanthou Jennifer Phat is from Cambodia and came to the United States when she was just a little girl. When Chanthou was twenty-three she had Vanessa. Vanessa Khat was born on October 6, 1994 and was raised in San Diego, CA. She is the youngest in her family. She has an older sister named Christina and a daughter named Analynn Marie. Vanessa never really got along with her sister because Christina always got the better grades and went to the best schools but had the worst attitude ever. Even though Vanessa hated Christina she was still her big sister and she loved her.

Vanessa was a very smart kid but she kept it all to herself. She did very bad in school and never listened to her teachers. When she did go to school, which was very rare, she was always sent out of class. She always ditched to her boyfriend’s house. Then one day as a joke Vanessa took a pregnancy test. It came out positive; Vanessa didn’t know what to do. She told her boyfriend and her mom that she was pregnant. Vanessa’s mom didn’t want her to keep the baby because she was just thirteen but she did. Now, Vanessa has a very beautiful baby girl that is now ten and is going into fifth grade.

She and her daughter still live in San Diego CA. Vanessa is still not married but living a very happy life with her daughter in a very nice house. Vanessa is now a vet and is about to be twenty-four. She spends all her time with her daughter. “I wouldn’t want to do any else,” Vanessa says.
