For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother. Jesus was simply expanding the concept of family--all of us are family. In his time, and for the most part as of now, we think of family as those who are our blood relatives-- family first , hence people outside that circle are not seen. nbsp; My dad used to say family first, then everyone else comes next. nbsp; This putting people into groups has e... http://youthnoise.com/user/punkpriest/blog/view/20219/ http://youthnoise.com/user/squabattack/blog/view/20193/ Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:06:00 GMT nbsp; Photo credit to Evenlynishere's Flickr Photostream nbsp; In a way, batteries make the world go 'round. They power our cell phones, MP3 players, laptops, watches, portable game systems, flashlights, electric toothbrushes, and cars. They allow us to bring our favorite things with us where ever we go (well, not so much me, considering I prefer books to cell phones and paper books to the Kindle), but if we don't dispose of them properly, they could affect us more negatively than you'd... http://youthnoise.com/user/squabattack/blog/view/20193/ http://youthnoise.com/user/mariebiscuit/blog/view/20138/ Wed, 18 Nov 2009 07:13:03 GMT I often blog about the roots and solutions to poverty. It does, however, take more than a blog (or a series thereof) to pin down the all-encompassing causes of the global poverty crisis facing us today. For this reason I recommend watching a new documentary, The End of Poverty? The film, directed by Philipe Diaz, investigates the very roots of poverty ndash; from historical beginnings to reasons for its persistence today. It is filmed in the slums of Latin America and the ghettos of Africa,... http://youthnoise.com/user/mariebiscuit/blog/view/20138/ http://youthnoise.com/user/euterpe42/blog/view/20088/ Sun, 15 Nov 2009 20:54:46 GMT Out of every state in the nation, South Carolina offers the most single-sex school programs. As a matter of fact, they're offered in more than 150 South Carolina schools. A survey conducted this year revealed the reason--more than 5,000 students, 720 parents, and 680 students gave the programs rave reviews, saying the programs help students in areas such as confidence, independence, and class participation. Both boys and girls showed improvement, and African Americans were the ethnicity that sho... http://youthnoise.com/user/euterpe42/blog/view/20088/ http://youthnoise.com/user/glitzandglamour/blog/view/19744/ Thu, 29 Oct 2009 19:36:47 GMT Meet Matthew ShepardHe was brutally tortured and murdered nbsp;in 1998.BECAUSE HE WAS GAY.11 years later, we have finally passed theMatthew Shepard Hate Crimes Billwhich expanded nbsp;the Hate Crimes law nbsp;to include crimes based ongender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability.The FBI estimates that 6 hate crimes occur every day1 in 6 is directed at the LGBT communityFor more information on the bill, check out this video:[youtube id=BO-xUV61eUI]... http://youthnoise.com/user/glitzandglamour/blog/view/19744/ http://youthnoise.com/user/Drenne/blog/view/19540/ Wed, 21 Oct 2009 12:22:32 GMT I don't know how many of you have been to Whole Foods lately, but if you get anything from the salad bar or the hot bar, you'll notice that all the containers and cutlery are either recyclable or biodegradable. It's part of a burgeoning trend to produce zero waste. Zero waste used to be an ultra-liberal concept - I remember a few years ago when my aunt spoke admiringly of a couple she knew that sent only one bag of trash to the landfill per year. I couldn't even imagine it. nbsp; Nowadays, h... http://youthnoise.com/user/Drenne/blog/view/19540/ http://youthnoise.com/user/gilliebean/blog/view/19489/ Fri, 16 Oct 2009 18:18:52 GMT Young Americans make up the largest group of uninsured people in the country.

I was so interested in people and medicine that I just knew I was going to be a doctor! I did all the research for several years during high school. After developing some problems I wondered how bad med school would be on me. I started to question what I want out of life. At the start of the semester I had decided on Nursing. Then, if I was confident and wanted I could still go to med school. However, I have questioned this for many rea... http://youthnoise.com/user/unique_is_me09/blog/view/19196/ http://youthnoise.com/user/spacelord/blog/view/18452/ Thu, 27 Aug 2009 06:44:49 GMT ... http://youthnoise.com/user/spacelord/blog/view/18452/
