Stanley Thorton Jr. is a grown man, who, according to Good Morning America, has been diagnosed with paraphilic ...

Just to see what life would be like without it. It wasn’t long before I was getting strange looks from the new people I met who wanted to “look me up.” After I explained why I just wanted to try it out, they understood. A few months into it, people actually began describing my decision as positive, saying things like, “wow, I wish I could do that.” God has called us to be set apart, and ...

And over the past month and a half, it hasn’t just been instant music, instant news, and instant communication—it’s been instant revolution. Social media is driving one of the largest and most fascinating protests in recent American memory; Occupy Wall Street. Occupy Wall Street represents a general expression of outrage at what participants believe to be an unjust and widening gap between the haves and the have-nots in America. While the ...

I think we often take for granted the impact he has had on our lives in regards to the technology we use in our day-to-day lives. Music, phone, and computer capabilities have all been greatly influenced by Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs introduced mass-marketed and affordable computers with his Macintosh computers in the 1980s. Though they are a fry cry from Macs of today, these set the precedent for what was to come. His musical revolution, ...

The release of the iPhone 4S was no different, with Apple devotees camping outside of stores and contributing to record pre-order sales. Does the 4S live up to the hype? The answer seems to be yes, according to most users. The new iPhone does not shock with its updates, and sports one decided drawback; a shorter battery life. On the other hand, the subtle tweaks will have faithful Apple ...

What began as a sole reliance on newspapers in the early 1900s, progressed into radio and television in the last half of the 20th century, and finally welcomed the internet in the new millennium. Even with all of these changes in the delivery of the news, the methods by which we have received our news has remained largely the same. Until recently we have been reluctant to move away from news corporations and popular ...

It’s that wonderful time of year again when leaves begin to change, Starbucks releases its highly addictive Pumpkin Spice Latte and the weather starts to cool.  While all of these are huge, there is a definite debut that captures the world’s attention… fall fashion! On the list of major trends, according to Glamour Magazine, there are a few must-try trends this fashion season.  Here’s a general idea of what’s ...

But who really cares anymore? The Bible was written for old people, why should we care what it says about sex? Honestly, salvation and all of that is cool, and we don’t want to go to hell, so we say the prayer and get Jesus. Sure, we’re not supposed to have sex, but that doesn’t mean we have to stay pure. Besides who does that anymore? ... Wed, 19 Oct 2011 04:00:00 GMT http://www.mediahope.com/index.cfm?PID=18806&BlogID=1&PostID=184
