17 January 2006 was our first day of class in Theology 1120. It was on that day that Dr. Homan assigned to the class the semester project. Well. . . I think quite a few people dropped the class after that day. Honestly, I seriously thought about dropping the course as well. I thought it [...]

First of all, I would like to thank all you who took the time and put the effort into responding to my posts. I am glad to see you too are concerned about my project. I hope that I persuade you to take so some course of action no matter how small are [...]

It was interrupted on 29 August 2005 by a event known as Hurricane Katrina which left a wake of destruction [...]

Hey Lisa, great job thus far! It is very obvious to me you did all the necessary research for the project. I especially like the way you are implementing your project.

Nine weeks down, six more weeks to go in Theology 1120. How is the project coming along, one might ask. So far, so good. I have written to several important officials and have done more in depth research into the pressing subject to every inhabitant of this planet: global warming. I have also begun to [...]

Global warming is probably the most serious problem facing our world today. With each passing day the problem is getting worse and worse. Global warming is caused by the emission of harmful gases such as carbon dioxide. The problem is further complicated by rapid deforestation; trees and other plants can help reduce the amount of [...]

What happening with in week 6 of the global warming project, you may ask? Well. . .a whole lot! I have begun doing more research into global warming and have begun writing the letters to the aforementioned parties; I will give full details into those matters in the week 7 and week 8 blogs, [...]

Health care is definitely a major global issue. Even in the richest country, we still have problems with our health care system. A new tax is one way to solve the problem, but it would obviously face fierce opposition. Perhaps another way to solve the problem is [...]

The global problem I am tackling this semester is global warming. I plan to write letters to all levels of government and different corporations, who are contributing to this problem, and urge them to take appropriate actions. And secondly I will do my part in helping the world. I am due to get a new [...]

Global warming is the most serious problem facing our world today. Each day, thousands of pounds of greenhouse gases are emitted into our atmosphere. The most harmful of these greenhouse gases is carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a byproduct of burning fossil fuels and also is the result of large scale deforestation. Plants need carbon [...]

What are the three biggest problems facing our world today? If you randomly picked five people walking down the street, you would most likely get five different answers. All of the entries for this blog assignment would be likely be different. But all would agree that our world has many problems. For this particular assignment, [...]

On that day, powerful and deadly Hurricane Katrina slammed in to the Central Gulf Coast packing winds exceeding 120 miles per hour. Towns were literally wiped off the face of the [...]
