When I come to Louisiana, New Orleans, Xavier University, and parts all over; I’ve come to realize the diversity among the people in every community. After trying to provide a place where people could come to pick up trash, I realized that many people would enjoy the idea, others would reject this idea, and others [...]

week 11
textual critism and souce critisim do not really that big of a gap. textual criticism is the idea that deals with the interpertation of anicient text and manuiscripts to try and bringthem as close back to the original meaning as they can be. Shorter and harder to read [...]

I received lots of positive feedback regarding the progression of my project. Thanks to everyone who supports my idea! The Diabetes Awareness event that was scheduled on November 30 went extremely well. I took several photos, some of which are posted above. The pictures from left to right are as follows: Dr. Stephens answering a [...]

This would be week 12 and unfortunalty, my project isn’t going anywhere. I still have yet to hear from the Big Brother Big Sister organization on Canal and I am starting to give up on the dream of them ever responding to my application. This has caused me to think of other ways to help [...]

Mai, Thank you for the support. I totally agree with you that kids need a role model to look up to. I plan to continue to help the children next semester. Involving more college students is a great idea. The only problem is that I help children in New Orleans East [...]

Tobit is a unusual and strange story for me to understand. Tobit is deeply in a man who is deeply in his Israelite faith and beliefs, even thoug he has been take captive by the Assyrians, and exile to Nineveh. Even though him being in exiled, he is a very happy to be married and [...]

Thanks for the encouragement about my project. Honestly, I did forget about the security issues involved with schools. I know security has increased even more after Katrina. Ironically enough now that I think about it maybe I should have associated myself with my church. Greater St. Stephens’s uptown location was burned down and ever [...]

My project has been making great progress I have been able to talk to other agencies in New Orleans who are providing services for students who are struggling in certain areas of school. I have still been going into schools, tutoring at their after school programs. Although I have been making some process, I don’t [...]

I appreciate the comments that were left concerning my project. Donating bone marrow is a serious, helpful situation. I have benn talking with Mrs.Hope Guidry-Groves and am hoping the drive will be sometime at the beginning of February. I’m thinking of making it have a valentine’s theme…something like “give love, donate marrow” I’m not too [...]

I am so glad that Dr. Homan let us combine these three blogs into one. I don’t know what I would have done if I had to write them all separately. I have a pretty good idea that they probably would not be done, I am just lazy like that. There are too many words. [...]

Charlita; I have mostly tutored my underclassmen this semester though I think I probably would have done it anyway even if I didn’t have this project to do. Anyway, PeacePlayers International seems pretty interesting. I’ll look more into it after the finals and I’ll definitely contact you if I’m interested. Thanks for the comment!
Mai; Haha, [...]

Pictures will be posted later….
The difference between source and textual criticism lie Higher Criticism examines the various authors and the words that they used in writing the biblical text. Lower Criticism examines the textual witnesses of the Bible (i.e. Masoretic Text, Vulgate, and Septuagint). In the time of the conquering of northern Israel to Assyria, [...]

Here is a picture of my neighborhood gas station. I love these gas prices:

Week 11:
Shana Simon:
I was thinking the same thing about my project. I think if I get enough people involved, maybe I can get enough attention and the federal government would get involved. Thank you for your feedback.
Shari and Jaime:
Both of [...]

This is my week eleven, twelve, and thirteen blog combined. Thank you Dr. Homan for allowing us to combine three weeks together making it less work and less words that we have to write! I am still coming along well with my project and hope to be wrapping it up pretty soon. The results are [...]

Source Criticism and Textural Criticism are two different things. One is about the origin the writhing came from and the other is from the language it is translated to. Source criticism is good to have when it comes to stories in the Bible, we have read. An example of this is the story of Cain [...]

I would like to thank everyone that has commented on my project, I really appreciate it! People have been very nice and have understood the goals that I am trying to achieve through my project. They have also identified with my struggle of trying to keep this project active and keeping up with my other [...]

Week Eleven
In source criticism the purpose is to examine the Bible to find out its original writers, sources and word usage. Textual criticism actually examines the text in the biblical texts by comparing its different versions to find out which version is closest to that of the original. The general rule of textual [...]

The comments that have been given to me on my project have been very helpful and encouraging. I still have a hard time with people not all the way listening because they automatically think they know everything about HIV/ AIDS. I just keep trying to stress the fact this is REAL and no one is [...]
