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 lit
tle 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.

The problem with human compassion



" On MARCH 13, 2002, a fire broke out in the engine room of an oil tanker about 800 miles south of Hawaii. The fire moved so fast that the Taiwanese crew did not have time to radio for help. Eleven survivors and the captain’s dog, a terrier named Hokget, retreated to the tanker’s forward quarters with supplies of food and water.

The Insiko 1907 was supposed to be an Indonesian ship, but its owner had not registered it. In terms of international law, the Insiko was stateless, a 260-foot microscopic speck on the largest ocean on Earth.

Now it was adrift. Drawn by wind and currents, the Insiko got within 220 miles of Hawaii. It was spotted by a cruise ship, which rescued the crew. But as the cruise ship pulled away, a few passengers heard the sound of barking.

The captain’s dog had been left behind on the tanker. The Society alerted fishing boats about the lost tanker and soon media reports began appearing about Hokget".



Eight years before Hokget saga began, the same world that showed extraordinary compassion for a dog sat on its hands as hundreds of thousands of human beings were killed in the Rwandan genocide.

Thousands of dollars was spent for the rescue this dog. With each passing day, the calls from around the world intensified asking: Had Hokget been found?

Well, this subject shows us the how human compassion is so visceral with a single lost animal and so abstract with genocide!

I think that the media helps to increase this problem showing subjects that touch the human heart. Some research shows that human compassion is more touched by small and isolated cases than the big catastrophes.

People prefer help somebody who is known by media and has become famous. In my humble opinion, the media is guilty for bringing unknown people so close to the population.

HODJA STORIES - IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFERENCE

A group of religious men got into an argument about a question while they were together. Half of them said that it is proper walking on the right side when they are carrying a coffin that is going to the cemetery. The other half said that it is proper walking on the left side.
They couldn't agree and they were divided, so they decided to consult the Hodja, who was the leader of the group.
After a minute thinking, Hodja said: " It doesn't matter if you are walking on the left side or the right side. What matters is if you are inside or outside!"







Actually, Hodja said that we cannot spend our time with little things that aren't so important.
