So this is my final theology blog which means that it is the end of the semester and I am very happy about that. Before taking this class, I thought it would be a breeze. I thought I knew a whole lot more about the bible than I actually do. I found out very soon [...]

Dear Dr. Norman C. Francis,
My name is Yaesha Joseph, and I am currently a sophomore here at Xavier University. In my theology class, I was asked to come up with three huge problems in the world, write about them, and come up with a project to help change those problems. I thought about different world [...]

My project is coming along great. I really enjoyed myself working with the teenagers. I am glad that I am doing a good deed that may hopefully change these children’s lives. I have talked to the children and I am also trying to figure out what else I could do to help other teenagers. I [...]

My project is about helping teenagers understand the importance of education and preventing them from becoming teenage parents. My project relates to the prophets because the prophets obeyed Jesus and Jesus preached about helping people. Jesus helped people throughout [...]

Many Christians belive that the world will come to an end during their lifetime because of  various reasons. Many people say that the world will end on certain dates and people believe them. Also the book of revelation talks about things that will happen in the future. The book of revelation talk about things that [...]

When we were asked to do this project I thought long and hard about what I could do. I thought about what could I possibly do to change the world and thought that I would not be able to do it. I then thought about how a lot of students are not enthused or worried [...]

Source criticism, also known as literary criticism,  is something that is used to identify the different sources used when a particular book was written. The closer the source is to the event it is describing the more likely it is to be accurate. Textual criticism deals with the identification of text and different manuscript errors.
The story [...]

My project is going fairly well. I decided to change it up a bit yet again. I decided to focus on young teenagers who are already around me. I took a look around my community and family and said to myself, “You know Yaesha these young children really look up to you, and they could [...]

I have been doing research on my project, and I have found various statistics that back my thinking that teenage pregnancies are a huge problem in the world today. I read a story about a group of teen girls that made a pregnancy pact stating that they would get pregnant and raise their children together.(Teen [...]

My project is going okay. Breannah and I have decided to team up and merge our ideas together. I think that merging our projects together will be even more powerful than us doing our projects individually. We just have to really think about what it is we want to do. Once we come up with [...]

I received a lot of positive feedback about my project. Everyone agrees that my topic is definitely a world problem and that something needs to be done. This makes me even more eager to follow through with my project. I received some good suggestions that will definitely help make my project a successful one. Someone [...]

The book of Genesis and the Enuma Elish are both creation stories. In both stories creation is done in seven days. The Enuma Elish was written on seven tablets. The Enuma [...]

There are many “big problems” in the world today. One of the things that I find is a huge problem is students’ lack of enthusiasm with school work. A lot of children do not understand the importance of having a solid education. They play around in school and do not understand that without having an [...]

The world problems that I feel are important are children’s lack of enthusiasm about getting an education, teenage pregnancies, and world hunger. The project I chose to do is go to various schools and talk to students about the importance of receiving a good education. I would like to also discuss the the effects of [...]

My hurricane story is not as bad as most.  We did not lose much.  I did not even know a hurricane was coming until the day before it made landfall.  I remember the weekend very clear because a lot of family events were going on that weekend.  We were having a family reunion.  It did [...]
