Crossovers
Life should be named "surprise" because sometimes that is all life can do to us, no matter how much planning we put into it. The fact that it gives us the test first and then the lesson is also another reason to further our thoughts and remain careful about what we say or do.
Judging other people's lives seems so easy when, but the real challenge happens when we find ourselves in the same situation that someone has been before and maybe at that time we felt that it was unbelievable, or somewhat improbable of happening to us directly.
Problems happen to everyone; You may run away from them but living in the world we live in will always have some type of negative effect in the way you look at things. It is how you apply these things in your life that determines how you carry on with everything in your life.
Sometimes we believe that we are not going to fall at a certain hole, but we close our eyes for just one second and next thing we know, we're in there, with no way out, and that can be cause self-loathing, and desperation.
We want to be happy but we care so much about some people that we put their happiness above ours, and live our lives trying to please them.
We laugh, we cry, we fall down, we raise up, dust off ourselves and keep walking because that is how life is supposed to be.

Jesus' Advocate
When I heard this story I burst into laughter, but then I thought, this is actually more serious than we think it is. Apparently Doda Indidis, a Kenyan lawyer, is planning on suing Israel and Italy over the death of Jesus Christ due to the way he was executed and how unfair the whole ordeal was.
Indidis said in his statement that "His (Jesus's) selective and malicious prosecution violated his human rights through judicial misconduct, abuse of office bias and prejudice." Indidis is right! Yet, he needs to acknowledge that times are different, therefore human rights were not as effective back then as they are presently. Indidis went as far as creating a Facebook page to get people to support his campaign of getting justice for Christ. This action is a bit contradictory of what Jesus teaches Christians through the bible that advises people to be 'mild-tempered' 'long-suffering' and 'forgiving'. Indidis actions seem to be motivated more by personal interests other than that of serving the Lord Jesus.
I believe that the past builds us and helps us to be better persons than we are but, that does not mean we have to go back there always to dig up things that are going to cause more problems to humanity than we already have.
This guy is trying to motivate the whole Christian community into believing that Jesus would like to have been done more justice here on earth, but the bible explains why Jesus was here and also that he would go through calamitous circumstances, so why don't we leave the matter where it is for now, for the Lord himself will take care of it in due time!

Who is to blame for the current turmoil in Egypt?
Tensions have risen in the past month in Egypt, leading to the death of many, as well as one of the biggest internal strife the country has ever seen. Many agree that this was all caused by the US because of some statements made by one of the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood, Saad Al-Shater, who said that his father had information that could lead to the downfall and incarceration of US President Obama, and that could also be harmful to the US itself. These comments were seen as motivated by paranoia and schizophrenia; but that the fact that the US has sent a delegation over Egypt to talk to some of the leaders in the Muslim Brother, and the call for the release for those Muslim Brotherhood's members has raised a lot of controversy regarding these claims.
Many also agree that these are just conspiracies made by the media and the public to cause more stir on the diplomatic relations of some countries or unions involved in it such as, the British being blamed for the corrupt system, the Jews for bankrupt economy and so on.
Well whoever it is to blame for all that's happening in Egypt just now, we hope that it stops! We cannot endure seeing the turmoil and all the suffering our brothers and sisters in that country have to go through due to politics and their affairs.
