Psalm 100 has always been one of my favorite psalms. Growing up, my family would learn different verses and passages in the Bible, and this passage was one we learned when I was still a pretty young boy. When I hear someone say Psalm 100 I just think about giving praise to the Lord!



I have loved playing basketball ever since I was a young boy. My dad would take my three brothers and I to the gym and teach us how to dribble a basketball and would teach us to shoot a basketball with correct form. I love the competition that goes along with playing basketball. I played basketball all four years of high school and played my freshman year here at Grace University. Basketball taught me many important life lessons; someday I want to be a coach and want to have the privilege to couch young men to play the great game of basketball. I made this Wordle by asking about 15 people the first word they thought of when I said the word "basketball".

Here is the podcast I made with Mark Spare and Rachel Schnell; please enjoy our rendition of Genesis 1:1-26. media type="file" key="Ethan Rachel Burdic 2.m4a" width="300" height="300"


 * Here are some great teaching websites and also a few great websites for enhancing your Christian maturity:**

GotQuestions.org is an excellent site for someone with questions about Christian living today. We live in a time and culture much different from the culture and time of the Bible; this site gives excellent answers to questions that are not specifically answered in the Bible and also gives biblical answers to questions about the Bible and basic teachings of Christianity. The site is biblically sound and has stated that its purpose is to glorify Jesus Christ. I have found this site to be a very useful tool to utilize if you have questions about Christianity. Click the link below to browse this awesome website. GotQuestions.org

Have you ever received an assignment from a teacher who told you to do the bibliography and citing in APA or MLA format?

You can also cite websites or newspapers with just a few clicks of the mouse. Click the link below to make doing bibliographies a breeze. easybib

Poll Everywhere is an awesome site that a teacher could use in a classroom. This site allows anyone to create a poll; the way people access the poll is by texting in their answers. The creator of the poll just has to give out the number to text the answers to. This is all free too! This would be really fun to use in a review for a test or something like that.

Have you ever been thinking of a verse and wondered what the reference was? I know sometimes I can think of a phrase in the verse but cannot come up with the reference.

This website allows you to search for a phrase or words that are in the Bible, and it will pull up the verses that match your search criteria. This website has been great for helping me to find verses quickly; I have used this website for some of the papers I have had to write at Grace University.

Power Point can definitely seem repetitive and boring at times; it is pretty basic and is not very visually appealing. Well Prezi is here to solve this problem! Prezi is similar to Power Point in that it is another way to visually present data, but Prezi brings lots more creativity and pizaz to the table. I really enjoy watching and listening to a Prezi presentation. Prezi's hold my attention better, and therefore they help me to learn more because I am more involved.
