Kissing Customs

The customs of kissing today, as well as an acient times, serves to show respect, and to pay homage to another. One Roman emperor even ranked a person's importance by the body part he was allowed to kiss. For example, early Romans kissed each other on the mouth or on the eyes to greet one another. He allowed important nobles to kiss his lips, less important ones to kiss his hands, and the least important ones to kiss his feet.

There is a story that tell us about an american man that was to Poland and he found difficulty about to how to greet the women just because he felt embareced to kiss their hand.

This is a very interesting story. I know that's a part of story but it captivates us from begining to end. The princess has an important decision to take that is, whether to send her lover to the lady or to the tiger from a simple movement of her hand. But nobody knows that she loves him desperatly. Now, in the arena, her lover turned and looked at her. His eyes met hers and ask the question: "Which?"

Perhaps it was the lady who came out. The princess might have chosen that door because it would be better to have her lover alive but married, than dead. In future, she could think about this, and how to approach him, but for the meantime it would be the only way to keep him alive. Who loves does not kill.

On the other hand, perhaps it was the tiger, If she had chosen this door, it would have mean that she had an egocentric love: “neither for me nor for you”. After she might repent and would weep bitterly for life, feeling guilty.

Personally, I think that our choices determine our future and we must choose wisely about the things that challenge us.

The father and his daughter

A little girl was given so many picture books on her seventh birthday that her father thought her should give one or two to a little neighbor boy named Robert, who had dropped in, more by design than by chance. A few weeks later, the father went to his library to look up " father" in the Oxford English Dictionary, and he realized that was missing four volumes. After a little probe he discovered that his daughter has given four volumes to a man "much nicer than Robert", she said.


Actually, that father souldn't complain about his daughter because he taught her to share her possessions. It's so easy and nice to tell the children what they should or shouldn't do, but we must be careful not to be hypocrites...
He needs to live what he teaches. If he doesn't want to share his things with others, he should not expect that his daughter share too.

I thought that he is taking our picture...

Bully Boy

It was a common class in that morning and I was in my break time. I had finished my food and I decided walking around the patio of the school. The day was sunny and very warm. Many children were running and playing and I was waiting my friend Rose. I stopped in a shadow to rest a little and, I don't know why, I used to put my hands at waist. Suddenly, a "bully boy" approached of me and said with an angry voice: "What's wrong with you?"
I said: "Nothing". But he wanted to fight with me. I had never seen that boy in all of my life. He pushed me strongly and I fell.
When my friend Rose arrived with others friends, they helped me raise and we go back to the classroom.

Is it the End of the World?

We have heard about many earthquakes around the world. Said a NASA scientist that the earthquake in Chile left the days shorter on Earth. The suspicion is the scientist Richard Gross of the Jet propulsion Laboratory (Jet Propulsion) NASA, the U.S. space agency. This would have been a change in the planet's rotation. Gross used a complex model to make the calculation, wich detected a reduction of 1.26 microseconds (one second per one million) in the day. The earthquake shifted the axis of the planet of about 8 centimeters.


EARTHQUAKES IN SCRIPTURE: The word earthquake occurs about 20 times in the Bible and shake and shaking about the same number of times. These words are used mostly in relation to God’s judgments upon nations and people. Both Amos (Amos 3-14/15) and Zechariah (Zech. 14-5), speak of an earthquake in the ten tribe kingdom of Israel in the days of Uzziah, King of Judah, an earthquake


of such magnitude that it was remembered for generations afterwards. Amos wrote, "That in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, I will also visit the altars of Beth-el: and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground. And I will smite the winter house with the summer house: and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end". The most remarkable of earthquakes was the one in AD 29 which occurred as the Lord Jesus died on the cross. "The veil of the Temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent. And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints WHICH SLEPT AROSE". (Matthew 27-51/52). Surely a remarkable word picture prophecy of the second coming of the Lord Jesus when the earthquake will tear apart the Mount of Olives (Zechariah 14-4), and "the dead in Christ shall rise first". (1 Thess. 4-16). Two separate earthquakes with similar results.

THE COMING GREAT EARTHQUAKE AND THE SECOND ADVENT: 520 years before the birth of the Lord Jesus, the Father caused the Prophet Haggai to write, "Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land. And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts"." (Haggai 2-6/7). Since nothing global has happened that has fulfilled this prophecy, we can be confident it is still future. AND, its more than coincidence that the north and south alignment of the Great Rift Valley fault is consistent with the prophetic dividing of the Mount of Olives into east and west sections when the Messiah’s feet stand upon it. See Zech.14-4.. …."And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which (is) before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south……". Nothing approaching this has ever been recorded, so we can assume that it is still future and connected with the coming of Messiah.
