I think that Arelia is to blame for everything that has happened to her, its nobody's fault but hers, the casinos aren't responsible to stop people from gambling people need to have self control. I don't believe that Arelia has a basis for a lawsuit because everything that happened to her is because of her doing not because of what anyone else has done. She is basically trying to win back money that she lost because of her foolish choices. In this situation i think that even though Arelia did have a problem with gambling it is her problem and her responsiblity to get out of this situation. I don't think that it is the responsiblity of the casino because anybody that goes to casinos is choosing to waist their money in unwise ways. The people that work there want the people to spend money; they don't care if they go broke. I think that if this lady was really drunk or something and causing a disturbance then it would be the responsiblity of the casino to tell her to stop gambling and to get out of the casino, but its a totally different story. The advice that i would give this lady is that she needs to stop gambling for one, because she is addicted and secondly she needs to take responsiblity for her actions, instead of saying that it is someone else's fault for the mess that she is in.

we're back!! prompt 33

Going on the mission trip to Nicaragua was a lot of fun and also a lot of work at the same time. In the weeks before we went on mission trip i wasn't really sure that i wanted to go, because i didn't feel like i was capable of preaching nine sermons. When we got there though and i started preaching i realized that i didn't matter that i thought i wasn't good enough because God can use me anyway. I learned a lot of new things on this mission trip and i also struggled with a lot of things while i was on the trip. But one of the things that i learned was that as we go on through our lives, we are going to meet people that we don't necessarily like or get along with, and if we choose to dwell on the dislike that we have for these people God can't bless us. So what i learned is that even though it is hard we have to give these things over to God because He will help us with them and if we don't give our problems to God, it is going to be harder for Him to use us for his work!
