Small Town Sinners | Melissa Walker Does falling in love mean falling out of faith? “Lacey Anne Byer is a perennial good girl and lifelong member of the House of Enlightenment, the Evangelical church in her small town. With her driver’s license in hand and the chance to try out for a lead role in Hell House, her church’s annual haunted house of sin, Lacey’s junior year is looking promising. But when a cute new stranger comes to town, something begins to stir inside her. Read an excerpt. A few reviews: “Walker has written a credible and tender evocation of the moment when a young person’s beliefs begin to emerge and potentially diverge from the teachings of a family’s religion… Near the end, Lacey contemplates a verse from the prophet Isaiah: ‘Come now and let us reason together.’ “A non-judgmental, nuanced, fascinating look at the teenage religious right… Walker writes an outstanding contemporary novel with a cast of characters who, far from being portrayed as hateful zealots, are relatable for readers of all faiths.

What If Romeo And Juliet Were On Facebook? In case you’ve never really understood Shakespearian verse, you can revisit the classic story of Romeo and Juliet as told through Facebook. All it takes are some friend requests, relationship status updates, events, and groups to tell this tragic tale in full. Trace the whole drama of the Montagues and Capulets from Romeo ending his relationship with Rosaline (she comments “I effin h8 u”), to Tybalt and Mercutio’s event entitled “Duel,” and finally to the creation of the groups “RIP Romeo” and “RIP Juliet.” This is better than CliffsNotes.

Dine Out Non-GMO If you have a favorite restaurant, and you eat there often, you should only need to ask these questions once. It's helpful to have a knowledgeable server or chef guide you through the menu to help you avoid GM foods. It’s not too hard to identify the non-GMO options. A good first question is, "What oil do you cook with?" If they use soy, cottonseed, canola, or corn oils they are likely GM if they are not organic. Since most processed foods contain GM derivatives (corn and soy, for example), ask what foods the chef prepares fresh, and choose those items. Try to avoid processed foods with the oils mentioned above, or with soy and corn derivatives, including: soy flour, soy protein, soy lecithin, textured vegetable protein, corn meal, corn syrup, dextrose, maltodextrin, fructose, citric acid, and lactic acid. Other potential sources of GM foods at restaurants include salad dressings, bread, and mayonnaise, and sugar from GM sugar beets. Other Sources of GMOs

Are these the biggest moments in journalism-blogging history? | Online ... Here’s another one for that book I’m working on – I’m trying to think: what have been the most significant events in the history of journalism blogging? Here’s what I have so far (thanks Mark Jones and Nigel Barlow): 1998: The Drudge Report breaks the Monica Lewinsky story. What have I missed? Like this: Like Loading... A Teenager’s Plea: Don’t Suck There are some things that just get to me. When I leave the Taco Bell drive through knowing, without even looking into the bag, that they have messed up my order.I certainly don’t like it when I end up shaking hands and it was supposed to be a fist bump. That’s just awkward. Those are little. What seriously gets to me is when there is a lack in how the church talks to us. I would walk into a service, and I would feel like I didn’t belong. We (teens) are a group who want to belong. Targeted It’s one thing to tell us we’re important, it’s another thing to show us. Side note: Everything matters: the colors you use, the layers you put on each other, the graphics you use or don’t use, and the way you give it to us. If we don’t feel targeted, you lose us. Experienced I want to be able to go into a church and have a serious experience with God. Everyone has an experience, it’s the churches’ goal to see that experience is a great one. There have been some things that work: “Go after them.

Victoria's Secret model Kylie Bisutti quits over religious beliefs Model Kylie Bisutti said wearing lingerie down the catwalk clashed with her Christian beliefs. Picture: Frazer Harrison Source: Getty Images Kylie Bisutti says her body is for her husband's eyes only. YOUNG beauty Kylie Bisutti is quitting Victoria's Secret at just 21 because modelling lingerie does not conform with her Christian beliefs. Bisutti won Victoria's Secret Model Search in 2009 when she was 19, beating 10,000 other hopefuls. "Victoria’s Secret was my absolutely biggest goal in life, and it was all I ever wanted career-wise," she told FOX411. "I actually loved it while I was there, it was so much fun and I had a blast. Bisutti, from Simi Valley, California, was married shortly before getting her wings, and she said that was also a factor in her decision. "My body should only be for my husband and it’s just a sacred thing," Bisutti continued. Bisutti, however, is not giving up the catwalk just yet.
