Hallelujah!

hey, i was having a wash-the-dishes chat with my brother, WP (it is these times we crack crazy jokes that only we understand) but anyway, here's a short discussion we came up with (by pure impromptuness): Political Correctness in a Self-centred World WN: Thank me WP: I'm welcome Did that make any sense to you at all? Anyway, it gave us a time to think about self-centredness, how "sad" it can really become. Really, I mean, if all we're doing is "thanking" ourselves for all that someone else does and how we "welcome" ourselves from someone saying thanks to us, it just won't make sense! Well, that was just a thought for all of you. Maybe it'll help you all to recognise and remember the works others have done for you and to remember to live for others too. Hallelujah! For all of those who were praying, we praise God that out of the 13 miners stuck in the Russian coal mine, 11 have survived, 1 died and 1 is still missing. The Russians have called it a huge miracle for them, and may we all praise God! For the missing and the dead miners, may God comfort their families (and still pray that the missing one survives in the end) and also that the Russian government will finally decide to increase the safety standards of the Russian coal mines and ensure that such accidents (there were more terrible ones before this) do not happen ever again. For a good cnn dose of the incident, here's the article: Russian Miners Emerge Alive There seems to be a series of coal mine accidents lately, with another one in China that just killed 13 miners. Do pray for a change in the industry as a whole. Many of the coal miners in Russia have not even got their pay since 8 months ago and they're suffering from the sudden move of communism to capitalism in Russia. Till next time, stay tuned
