First and foremost, I would like to thank you Dr. Homan for making me write these blogs. While writing these blogs trying to catch up with the class, I learned a lot about myself.

Personally I do not feel that I, or anyone could adequately answer the question at hand. Instead we can look into history and try to find pieces to the puzzle and come up with theories and opinions. Faith is a very important factor in Christianity. Without faith it is impossible to please God. In trying [...]

I don’t think that my project with neither the library or with helping out at the church improved the world. On the other hand I would agree that the library will help the entire city of New Orleans. Who knows maybe even the state of Louisiana. And as for the church it probably helped the [...]

Basically the comment on my project stated that me changing my project was understandable and that it was a great choice for me to spend my holiday to fulfill my volunteer commitments.

From the course goals that were set to us at the beginning of the semester, I don’t believe all of them were fulfilled as they should have been.

Most Christians in history believe that the world will end in their lifetime because it is their lifetime. Due to the fact that God said he will return each generation feels as though their generation is the worse and is the last. I remember when Y2k was happening and we thought the world was going [...]

As stated before I believe that the world today is in peril. The African American community reflects the downward spiral in which the United States is heading. Some say that this country is the home of the free and the brave. Clearly by the stats that I have done on my research assignment it [...]
