Dear President Barack Obama,
Hello, Mr. President it is truely an honor to write you this letter and express to you my opinions and how I feel. My name is Leander Brumfield and my status is I am a sophomore currently enrolled as a full-time student at Xavier University of Louisiana. My major is Chemistry Pre-pharmacy I choose this field as my primary focus in school because I really want to be valuable to my community in the future. I am writing to you because I am enrolled in Mr. Homan’s awesome theology class, and part of this course is to write a blog containing a thousand words every week. Today’s week is to write a formal letter addressing my outlook on problems with today’s world. You were one of the people in this world that I thought should here this. The projects are focused on how to improve the world and make it a better place for others. My major problem is concerning our community and country and I am asking for your help. The major problem that I see affecting our community is the economy. The economy has got way out of hands, in this day in times people are willing to do anything it takes to get money. Families are being broken down because they can no survive with high mortgages, fear of losing jobs, and prices of gas inflation.Whenever there is a high unemployment rate crime will always rise. The reason for this is because without a steadily paycheck coming in people don’t have the means of paying their bills. Bills have to be paid regardless so people go to other means of getting money rather, selling drugs, robbery, or prostitution. Most people hate to live in a disadvantage situation but has to do whatever means of paying the bills on time. The conomy everywhere is facing a huge crisis, everytime I turn on the news I hear about people losing jobs, jobs closing down, and people losing homes. The Unemployment rate is the only thing in the economy still rises. Whenever hard working middle class people are falling into poverty the government has seriously done something wrong failing Americans everywhere. This is a major issue that needs to be resolved immediately. Thank you so much for spending my time to read my letter, I hope that your able to relate to what I thing what needs to be done in the world to make it better for everyone. Hope you make very wise decisions during your presidential term and won’t forget your promises.
God Bless,
Leander Brumfield

Dear Mayor Shirley Franklin,
Hello, Mrs. Franklin, I hope you still remember me how’s your family doingit is truely an honor to write you this letter and express to you my opinions and how I feel.

While I was in Atlanta the last school I attended was Henry Grady High School. I am very proud of what you have done to improve our magnificient city and I am proud to tell you that you are really an inspiration. Anyone who comes into contact with you is inspired about your visions on how the city should be. Because I have noticed what you have done to the city to improve it, I am writing to you to request your help on my effort to do my part in making the world a better place. The problem which I am addressing is the terrible economic state that the world is suffering. I feel that something serious needs to be done to put an end to this growing epidemic. I feel bad when I hear about hard working people who worked on there job is being forced to be laid off. People need there jobs for various reasons. Families are being broken and forced to live off the streets. I believe if more people were given the opportunity of a providing career/job less crime would occur.

Dr. Norman C. Francis,
Hello Dr. Francis it is a great priviledge to write to you reflecting problems in the world. My name is Leander Brumfield , I am currently attending Xavier University of Louisiana as a sophomore. My study area is Chemistry Pre- pharmacy, so far every moment at Xavier has been awesome I had no problems and I hope it continues to go that way. I am glad I choose to attend Xavier and I think your during an excellent job as the president of this fine institution. I am currently enrolled in Mr. Homan’s theology course, we are currently focused on demonstrating projects that will make a positive difference in the world that is affecting our community and the country. The problem that I feel is a major cause of downfall in our country is the amount of jobs being lost. My goal is to convince strong leaders in the world that if more jobs were available to people the crime rate will decrease significantly everywhere. Any information or help that you can provide me would be very much appreciated and helpful. I thank you for taking the time to listen to my concerns and your consideration on this important issue.

Pastor Brown,
Hello pastor I am writing you this time to ask for your support and guidance on an issue that I feel very passionate about. In my theology class we are focusing on our projects and how it could make the world a better place. One of the top issues in the country is the economy. Everyone is panicing not knowing what to expect in rough times. The government needs to stop in fast help the people and reissue that the recession will be over soon. So much destruction is being done because people will do anything to feed their family. I am asking for you to pray on this issue so that this issue will be conducted in a proper way. Anything or anyway that you can help me will be great. Take care and I look forward to seeing you this Wednesday at Bible Study. May god bless you and your family and guide you with wisdom
God Bless,

It also gives a different view and outlook upon the Eurocentric way of intepreting the bible. Scholars looking at the bible and determining how the Bible portrays Africans and their country. This criticism does not look at race merely because race was non-existent in Biblical times. This form of critics also focuses on how people have used the Bible in the past to work against African Americans.
