The human I am thinking ofwas 21 not 33, when the last breath cameEaster Day - Not Good Friday. This humanI loved worked withLived withinmy soul. A beautiful humanI know - loved - worked with .... and ...... she was 21 ........when ......... she was found dead with a cocktail of drugs .......This day I will always remember. This day I will always remember her .....This day, today, I would love to post a photograph of her hanging around my neck - so close ......But would not be right .........But I will share with you the words I clicked ........ about her.

Five Minutes


"Life may be brimming over with experiences, but somewhere, deep inside, all of us carry a vast fruitful loneliness wherever we go. And sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between two deep breaths, or the turning inward in prayer for five short minutes."









It is from the book of diaries from Etty Hillesum ...
she
was killed by the Nazis in a concentration camp in
1943.........................

True or Not ??

This was sent to me via e-mail. I do not know if it is true or not?



A Muslim man in Egypt killed his wife because she was reading the Bible and

then buried her with their infant baby and 8-year old daughter. The girls
were buried alive! He then reported to the police that an uncle killed the
kids. 15 days later, another family member died. When they went to bury him,
they found the 2 little girls under the sand - ALIVE!

The country is outraged over the incident, and the man will be executed. The
older girl was asked how she had survived. "A man wearing shiny white
clothes, with bleeding wounds in his hands, came every day to feed us. He
woke up my mom so she could nurse my sister," she said. She was interviewed
on Egyptian national TV, by availed Muslim woman news anchor. She said on
public TV, "This was none other than Jesus, because nobody else does things
like this!"

Muslims believe Isa (Jesus) would do this, but the wounds mean He really was
crucified, and it's clear also that He is alive! But, it's also clear that
the child could not make up a story like this, and there is no way these
children could have survived without a true miracle. Muslim leaders are
going to have a hard time to figure out what to do with this, and the
popularity of the Passion movie doesn't help! With Egypt at the centre of
the media and education in the Middle East , you can be sure this story will
spread.

Christ is still turning the world upside down! Please let this story be
shared. The Lord says, "I will bless the person who puts his trust in me.
"Jeremiah 17

If You became a better person now, today, God couldn't love You anymore tomorrow.
His love for You is total now and he cannot love You anymore.
You are 100% totally and completely loved.
