Dear Mr. Raines,
            My name is Demetria White and I am in a first level Theology course at Xavier University. We were given an assignment to design a project that would help improve the world in any aspect. My [...]

Evaluation of the course goals:
·         Give students a level of expertise in the discipline of biblical studies. 
Before entering this class, I had a very basic knowledge of the Bible and biblical stories. As my sister would say, I was nothing but a Sunday school Christian. I knew the basic stories and parables in the [...]

                Many Christians believe the world is coming to an end because of prophesies made in the book of Revelation. The book of Revelation talks about what is going to happen in the latter days of the world. Also, in many of the gospels Jesus foretells the events that will occur before his return.  Several [...]

            Biblical prophets relate to my project in few ways. Some task of the prophets are enacting change and performing symbolic acts. [...]

My project to improve the world was to educate people on and lend a helping hand to the War on Poverty. During the course of this semester, I have done lots of things fulfill my duty. The first thing I did was lots of research. I searched loads of web pages finding and learning about [...]

My project is coming along great. It is almost complete!!! We have placed tall red boxes with eye catching stop signs all around the campus so our fellow Xavierites can contribute to our effort. The boxes are located in the Administration Building, Science Building, and the library. As of April 9, 2009, we collected a [...]

Source criticism is a technique used to identify what sources were used to in the formation of a particular book. The belief is the closer the source is to the event it is trying to describe, the more one can trust it. Source criticism is also referred to as literary criticism. Textual criticism is literary [...]

On April 9, 2009, Katey, Jennifer, and I volunteered at Second Harvesters Food Bank. It was a great experience. The project we helped with was called Backpacks. Second Harvesters prepare bag lunches for less fortunate children at some public schools. Among the schools were Martin Luther King, Living Waters, McDonough 32, and several others. The [...]

“About 25,000 people die everyday from hunger or hunger-related causes…”
            When asked, “What do you think poverty is?” my 18-year old nephew replied, “Those hungry children in Africa with all those flies around them.” This may seem funny at first, but it is sad that the youth are so ignorant of this topic. Many of [...]

Honestly, I haven’t begun to implement my project. It is a work in progress, very slow progress. Recently, I started thinking that I was making this too big and it would be too much for me to handle, and it is. However, I think it would benefit others more than it would hurt me. I’m [...]

 I want to thank everyone for the positive feedback on my project. I want to especially thank Framiz for the idea of making this a class effort. Since so many people in the class are addressing the poverty issue, maybe we can join forces and make this an even bigger effort. My grandma usually says, [...]

                Genesis and the Enuma Elish share many differences and similarities. Both Genesis and the Enuma Elish are creation. They illustrate how the world is formed. In the Enuma [...]

Last week we blogged on what we thought were the 3 biggest problems facing the world. I chose crime, teenage pregnancy, and poverty. Of those 3, I think I can have the greatest impact on poverty. Poverty is a major problem plaguing many parts of the world; however, we Americans tend to ignore it because [...]

Of the 3 greatest problems in the world, the problem I feel I can have the greatest impact on is poverty. Katey James, Jennifer Pellitteri, and I have devised a planed called “Xavier Cares.” For this project, we will set up food stops at different location around the campus and collect can food items. We [...]

There are millions of problems plaguing the world today. It would be impossible, yet an extreme miracle, for us to resolve each and every one of them. So, for now, we must tackle the ones we can to make some type of improvement in the world.  The 3 major problems that we need to focus [...]

My Hurricane Katrina experience is very different from many Katrina stories. My Katrina experience is not the traumatic swimming through flood waters, sleeping on the pavement of the Ernest M. Morial Convention Center tale. Nor is it the typical 36 people living in a 2 bedroom apartment and the 24 hour ride to Baton Rouge [...]
