Stay On The Course

 The Summer Break is now behind us, and our children are about to chart a new course in their lives. They may be attending a new school, or they may be entering a new grade, or they may still have a few more years of studies in subjects that they had chosen a few years ago.

Whatever it may be, some exciting times are ahead of them. Of course, this is not to say that sadness, tears, disappointment, and fear are not a block ahead of them.

Therefore, whatever is ahead for our children, we should not allow them to move away from the "good" track that they are running on. If Christians and their school peers are intentionally or unintentionally trying to "out" their light, we need to encourage them to stay on the Christian course.

If they were planning to be more involved in sporting activities, but their best friends do not want to be involved in these activities, they may become a little discouraged and decide to "drop" this plan. If this is the case, we should encourage them to stay on their planned course.

Whatever it may be, whatever they are faced with, we need to be there to encourage them to stay on the course.

Ethiopia – It’s 2012 in 2019

The Ethiopian Calendar is different from the Gregorian Calendar and the latter is what most of the world goes by.   The Ethiopian Calendar has thirteen months in a year, while the Gregorian one has twelve months.   Currently, the year in Ethiopia is 2012.   The following links may be helpful in shedding more light on this.

Brazil – Home of the most “Uncontacted People”

I really don’t know the reason why. However, whenever I hear about an uncontacted group of people living in the forested area, my mind is always blown.  There are so many questions that run through my mind about them. Nevertheless, this is not about me. It is about Brazil, and in this country’s forested areas, there are about 100 tribes or groups of people living there.  Brazilian National Indian Foundation is responsible for their care from the outside world.    Note https://www.survivalinternational.org/tribes/uncontacted-brazil https://riotimesonline.com/brazil-news/rio-politics/brazils-funai-calls-army-to-help-protect-isolated-indigenous-tribes/
