SAD! SAD!! SAD!!!

This is definitely a sad story. who on earth can we trust if we can not trust our friends with our children?

We need to read this together and learn the lesson that only God truly knows the heart of each of us.

More so, it shows that some people forget that there is more to their being created than to act selfishly. This is definitely not walking in purpose, is it? - Nope, it isn't.

We created to be a blessing to others and not to cause people pain. Let's wake up everyday with the mind set of what can we do to be of help today, rather than how can I satisfy me, myself and I.

Have you thought of what you can do to help someone today?

Thank you for reading my post!

Woman who had sex with best friend’s 12-year-old son and gave birth to his baby jailed

Woman who had sex with best friend's 12-year-old son and gave birth to his baby jailed — The woman pleaded guilty at Victoria County Court (Picture: Google)

A mother who had sex with her best friend’s 12-year-old son and then gave birth to his baby has been jailed for at least three years.
The 40-year-old woman began a sexual relationship with the 12-year-old after she started driving him and her daughter to school and developed feelings for him.
The court heard how the pair had sex once a week over a five-month period and did not use condoms.
The woman, who cannot be named, pleaded guilty to the persistent sexual abuse of a child under the age of 16 at Victoria County Court in Melbourne.

‘You failed to recognise that your feelings for the boy were completely inappropriate,’ the judge said.

‘You commenced and continued an abusive sexual relationship.’

The woman gave birth to a girl in May last year.

The boy’s mother, who was best friends with the woman, even visited in hospital – completely unaware that her 12-year-old son was the father.

‘She [the boy’s mother] has described how you have taken away his childhood and the difficulties he has had adjusting to fatherhood and what has happened to him,’ the judge said.

Touching moment police officer buys food for homeless man and joins him on kerb — Sergeant Erica Hay bought food and coffee for the homeless man (Picture: TiAnna Greene)

A police woman is being hailed a hero after she took time out of her day to sit and eat with a homeless man.
Sergeant Erica Hay bought the homeless man some food and a cup of coffee then went to sit on the kerb next to him.
What she didn’t know is that passerby TiAnna Greene was taking pictures of the interaction.
She told Today: ‘What really caught my attention was the fact she then pulled out food for herself and started to eat with him. She just seemed very, very comfortable.
‘I got my phone out and started snapping pictures because I was so overjoyed by the interaction.

Sergeant Hay works for the Ocala Police Department in Florida. She said: ‘We’re not a large community so I know most everybody, especially the homeless in the area, but I didn’t know him.
‘He was just there by himself alone, so I just grabbed food and went back to eat with him. Nobody wants to eat alone. I like eating with anybody.

DO YOU HAVE A DISABILITY?

Just take a look at this article. Some stories inspires me so much that I feel like my heart is jumping out. How self-motivated some people can be in life....

If you are like me, you will agree with me that a lot of us do not have an excuse for not giving back in our lifetime, giving back as a way of saying thank you Lord is what you are doing when you annex your gift and do something that will bless others. We have all been endowed with something that can be a blessing to our generation. Imagine the jewelleries made by Laura Green, how much it will be a blessing to someone and also the fact that as a result of using her gift, she too has become an employer, putting food on someone's table.

The list is endless when we think of the benefits of annexing our potential.

Get inspired like me and begin to think of what small thing you can give to this generation from the abundance of potential you have been given by your Creator.

I will continue to bring you more inspiring articles and do hope that you will get motivated enough to launch out and if you are already doing something, you could want to do more....

Thanks to 'Prince Trust' for helping Laura's potential become of use. You can do even better....

This woman has refused to let Down’s syndrome stop her from running a successful business

This woman has refused to let Down's syndrome stop her from running a successful business — Laura sells her jewellery at craft fairs up and down the country (Picture: Laura Green/Facebook)

This is Laura Green, and she has refused to let Down’s Syndrome stop her from running her own successful jewellery business.
The 28-year-old from Runcorn, Cheshire, was inspired to set up jewellery firm Serendipity in 2010, after she became frustrated with the lack of options that career advisers were offering to her.
She explained that she ‘didn’t want to work in Asda’, and now sells her products at exhibitions and craft fairs across the UK.
‘There was no career planning at school for me. I was just killing time until I was moved onto the next step in the system’, Laura recalled.
‘After three years I said “no more” and I left.

Laura runs the business with friend Rachel Melarangi (Picture: Laura Green/Facebook)

Laura established the business with friend Rachel Melarangi, who also has Down’s Syndrome, after the pair received backing from the Prince’s Trust.
Describing the day-to-day workings of the business, Laura said: ‘I now employ my employment personal assistant to help with my business.
‘My family and friends will still be in my life as part of my circle of support.

‘I can go out with them for a meal and say ‘so what did you do at work today? I did… You don’t know how good that sounds to me.
‘I am a businesswoman, a woman who runs her own business, how many other 24 year olds can say that’.

WHO DID THIS RAIN FALL ON?

What have I picked from this inspiring article? Just one lesson that blows my mind apart. "when you keep doing what you have to do, God works behind the scene to bless your effort'.

A life transforming result comes when we are working in the path that has been ordained for us. The light of God definitely singled this boy out in the mix of many homeless children / people. Imagine, what would been if this little lad was engaging in truancy and all sort of bad behaviours as we see in present day street children?

No wonder God said He will bless the work of our hands. My encouragement for someone is, there is greatness inside of you, keep doing the positive things you are doing and God will send help to you to help you launch out.

Have you started doing something before but got frustrated as it seem that help was not coming? Don't loose heart, continue or start all over again, the potential you have is to be used in this generation so the giver of the potential will supply you all that you need at the right time.

Have you looked at the story of those who became nothing or those who failed and never tried again and as a result decided to seat back without annexing your potential? Be encouraged to start doing something because all that is needed for your help to come is for you to start small / from somewhere.

Using your gift can also be by you helping others to fulfil their dream, like Joyce in the article below who posted little Daniel's picture on facebook that resulted in him having a home and pursing his education under a better condition.

Can I just ask you to think for once, what have you done to bring smile on another's face? it is not too late, start today......

Enjoy reading with me and be inspired because the creator's rain falls on both the just and the unjust.

Something amazing happened to a homeless boy doing homework outside McDonald’s

Dave Burke for Metro.co.ukSaturday 11 Jul 2015 2:01 pm

Something amazing happened to a homeless boy doing homework outside McDonald's — Daniel Cabrera was pictured outside McDonald’s doing his homework (Pic: Facebook)

A picture of homeless boy Daniel Cabrera doing his homework in the street could have changed his life forever.
The shot of him using light from a nearby McDonald’s to study made him famous, and bought out the best in people.
The picture was taken by student Joyce Torrefranca, who said she’s been overwhelmed with the response since sharing it on Facebook.

It’s now turned out that Daniel and his family have been inundated with offers of help, with a scholarship grant likely to open doors that might otherwise have been closed.
After the scholarship offer, from the Anti-Crime and Terrorrism through Community Involvement & Support party, the nine-year-old said he was excited.
Daniel told ABS-CBN: ‘I want to be a policeman to help the Philippines.’
And his mum, Christina Espinoza, said: ‘We’re overjoyed.
‘I don’t know what I will do with all of these blessings. Now, Daniel will not have to suffer just to finish his studies.’

Daniel’s dad died in a fire that burned the family home to the ground, and Christina has often found herself forced to beg in order to buy food.
After the huge reaction to the photo, Joyce posted on Facebook: ‘I didn’t think that a simple photo can make a huge difference.
‘Thank you guys for sharing the photo. With that, we were able to help Daniel in reaching his dreams.
‘I hope Daniel’s story will continue touching our hearts so that we will always be inspired and motivated in every situation we face in life.’

CAN YOU IMAGINE BECOMING LIKE THIS?

This amazing article reminds me of one thing as I read, which is, 'never allow others tell you who you are, rather, always live as led by the spirit of God.'

when we have a father/child relationship with God, He is more than able to reveal our gifts and talents to us and also help us to launch out using the potentials we have.

Take a deep breathe for once and imagine if the dream in the article was forgotten as a result of the judgment passed on it's worth by the Dragon's Den, it definitely would have worth £0 by this I mean, it would have been abandoned.

Think for a moment, are there dreams in your life that you have let go of because of what others thought about it? Are there things hindering you from launching out and becoming what you have be created to be? I want to believe that if you read this article and digest it, thinking of what is and what could have been, you will be inspired to launch out.

Always remember that He who gives the vision, gives the provision. Your creator will never give you a gift that is bigger than who He created you to be.

No more Procrastination, rise up today and invent that image you have in your mind, be that person that you have always aspired to be, create that world that you have always imagined, never let your dream die because of what a human being like you thinks about it, trust in your Creator to make you great.

Enjoy reading the Article.

This invention was rejected by Dragon’s Den – but now it’s worth £65million

Duncan Lindsay for Metro.co.ukSaturday 11 Jul 2015 10:03 am

This invention was rejected by Dragon's Den - but now it's worth £65million — Not your wisest move guys (Picture: BBC)

It was branded ‘hair-brained’ by the so-called professionals on Dragon’s Den famed for their ruthless ability to sort the bad investments from the good.
But this is the product that eluded the hard-faced gang and went on to make a whopping fortune without them. At the time, Duncan Bannatyne claimed that the Tangle Teezer hairbrush left him wanting to pull his hair out – well, we bet he feels even more like that now that he realises what he’s missed out on.
The product, which is designed to work through wet and knotted hair, detangling it without any pain or trouble, is a hit worldwide and is now estimated to be worth an eye-watering £65million.
Entrepeneur Shaun Polfrey offered the Dragons a 15% stake in his company for an £80,000 investment and he was unanimously rejected and mocked by the panel.

Who’d have thought a brush would be worth millions? (Picture: Tangle Teezer)

James Caan blasted the product as a ‘waste of time’ while Peter Jones quipped that it was ‘hair-brained’.
Who’s laughing now though, guys?

Duncan Bannatyne: he's out of Dragons' Den — Dunc wanted to pull his hair out (Picture: BBC)

Sold in over 70 countries, Tangle Teezer is also a hit with many high profile celebs with Victoria Beckham, Emma Watson and Cara Delevingne allegedly among showbiz fans of the product.
YouTube is awash with positive product reviews on it, including this slightly excitable one from Bargain Princess:

In order to raise the cash he needed that was not provided by the Dragons, Polfrey re-mortgaged his home and his risk paid off.
Speaking about the experience, he humbly told MailOnline: ‘Entrepreneurs do things differently. Businessmen are less likely to take risks and I think you can see that with the Dragons. Looking back on it there really isn’t a lot that I would change.

‘At the end of the day, for me, I gained a lot of expertise from it and it has helped bring together the great team I have now. Fast forward to now and we’ve just turned over £23.4million, the forecast for this year is that we’re going to hit £34million.’

A hair raising amount indeed.

Soz Dragons, you missed out this time. Still, at least you still have Reggae Reggae Sauce.

GET EDUCATED!!!

You may be wondering what Education has got to do with walking in purpose. Oh Yes, A lot actually!!!

Education is good when people learn the right thing but it can be a destroyer too, depending on who the teacher is and what is being taught. Education can be a key to success for some people and a path to destruction for some others. As much as we need people to get education, we need good, God fearing teachers who can impact the lives of our children and all students worldwide with the Knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits they need to become who they have been born to be.

The origin of formal Education can be traced back to the church. During those years, the church impacted the world far more than we are having now. The Educational system that brought morals to the world has been watered down and adulterated.

what about the dropouts? Half education is dangerous, it is synonymous with half truth which is no truth. people should be encouraged to finish at least their secondary school education which will give them the basics they need to support themselves in life.

Think about the lives you will be affecting if you are a gifted teacher and someone who has a lot to give in the Education sector. Please read this article and think of how you can help, the advantages of Education far outweighs the disadvantage, if any.

Lack of education ‘as deadly as smoking’, study suggests

Harry Readhead for Metro.co.ukThursday 9 Jul 2015 5:06 pm

Lack of education 'as deadly as smoking', study suggests — The researcher suggest it should be a goal for all teenagers to finish high school (Picture: Getty Images)

A new study has suggested that dropping out of school early may be just as deadly as smoking.
Researchers at the University of Colorado Denver analysed data going back to 1925, and calculated that 145,000 deaths in the US in 2010 could have been prevented if adults who didn’t finish high school had graduated. That figure is comparable to the estimated number of lives that could have been saved if all the country’s smokers had quit.
Of course, having a lack of education doesn’t directly correlate with a higher mortality risk, but it does indirectly through well-established factors associated with leaving school early – earning less, poorer mental well-being, decreased likelihood of adopting healthy behaviours and so on.
‘Our results suggest that policies and interventions that improve educational attainment could substantially improve survival in the US population, especially given widening educational disparities,’ co-author Patrick Krueger said.

Several health risks are associated with lack of education, including earning less and having poorer mental well-being (Picture: Getty Images)

‘Unless these trends change, the mortality attributable to low education will continue to increase in the future.’
Virginia Chang, the study’s other author, added: ‘Paying attention to education has the potential to substantively reduce mortality.’
Current estimates suggest more than 10 per cent of the US population aged between 25 and 34 never finished high school. Another 28.5 per cent haven’t completed a college degree.
Researchers say that they do not necessarily believe everyone should pursue higher education, but they say it should be a goal to get everyone to finish high school.

I WONDER WHAT THIS WORLD IS TURNING INTO

This is the most shocking article I have ever come across! Whilst reading it, I was almost shedding tears for the next generation because I can sense that most of these teenagers have completely forgotten why they exist.

Again, looking at the origin of this menace in the country/ around the world today, I am not surprise- children are no longer taught to fear God in schools and morals have been completely wiped out of the system when it comes to raising children. Children have been left to have the last say in their families and at school. They have been handed more power than they can handle and such that will destroy them.

This generation needs you and I to step in and give our quota, no giving in terms of talents, time and money is too small. Dedicated and God fearing Youth/ teenage workers are needed to help redirect the future of these ones. CAN YOU HELP? HAVE YOU DISCOVER YOUR CALLING? CAN YOU PRAY? CAN YOU PROPHESY OVER THE LIVES OF THE NEXT GENERATION?

It does not matter what your gifts are, read this article with me and if you are like me, I know you will get goose pimples and want to take action. These lives are in your hands, your creator will ask you what you did when you heard of this menace. BE A NEHEMIAH

Thousands of teenagers force terrified families off Scottish beach as they fight, drink, take drugs and have sex

More than 5,500 people went to Troon beach, in Ayrshire, last Friday
Shirtless boys had to be pulled apart by police after being caught brawling
Some teens had cocaine on them and others allegedly had sex in bushes

More than 5,500 teenagers descended on a Scottish beach on Friday with many drinking, fighting and taking drugs.

Dozens of families were forced to leave Troon beach, in Ayrshire, after the huge group turned up at the popular sandy spot with class A drugs and alcohol.

Shirtless boys had to be pulled apart by police after being caught brawling, while others were caught carrying cocaine.

More than 5,500 teenagers descended on Troon beach, in Ayrshire, with many drinking, fighting and taking drugs

Residents also reported spotting young couples having sex in nearby bushes and said they also had to call ambulances for unconscious revellers.

Two 17-year-old boys, one from Glasgow and one from Cambuslang, were charged with assault.

One shocking video, which appears to be filmed on a mobile at the unofficial event, shows a boy being punched during a beach brawl.

The young boy can be seen falling to the floor after being hit, before a police officer runs over to him.

Referring to the footage, Police Scotland said: 'Officers are aware of this incident which did take place at Troon Beach on 3 July 2015 at around 17.15pm. Enquiries are ongoing.'

A further 11 people were thought to have been charged with public drinking offences while others had alcohol confiscated.

Residents took to social media to thank officers and complain about the out-of-hand party.

Billy Templeton ‏wrote on Twitter: 'Well done @policescotland for your work at Troon beach yesterday. Hundreds of school weans out their nuts on the beach could have got nasty.'

One user, known just as M, added: 'The amount of daft wee boys at Troon yesterday trying to fight and shout at girls was disgusting.'

Peter Convery, Troon councillor, told the Daily Record: 'There was a lot of concern by locals and others who came to visit the beach and enjoy a nice day out. I understand how threatening it would have been.

'I saw one picture in Victoria Street which looked potentially threatening in lots of ways with people effectively blocking the road.

A young girl drinks from what appears to be a bottle of Buckfast, a fortified wine that contains a large amount of caffeine

Mounted officers arrived at the beach to keep an eye on the unofficial event, which is thought to have been organised over social media

The majority of teenagers were thought to have arrived at the beach via train, before walking through the town to the beach

'At the end of the day thank goodness there wasn't more serious injuries that could have ended in tragedy.'

The majority of teenagers were thought to arrived at the beach via train.

A ScotRail spokesman said: 'We continue to encourage customers to report any on-train issues that concern them.

'We do not tolerate anti-social behaviour of any kind on the railway.'

Teenagers launched another Facebook event - named 'Troon on Thursday' - to recreate the gathering at the beach today.

But many voiced their concerns there would be increased numbers of police and did not turn up.

UNITED KINGDOM, WHAT RELIGION?

In reading the article below, you will agree with me that there is a lot to be done in the place of prayer and taking action (by action I mean every child of God walking in the purpose for which they are created), so that in the various nation where we reside we can experience God's glory.

I find it difficult to come to terms with the fact that the United Kingdom is a Christian nation with all the happenings in the country. The Christian Religion seem to have been swept under the carpet while indigenes do as they please, hiding under the 'freedom of religion'..

All hope is not lost, if our Prince George in 2013, and now Princess Charlotte 2015, are being christened in a time such as this. let all who care like I do, arise and do something reasonable to help in restoring this nation from the political menace that has contributed to watering down the religion upon which this nation became great.

Please read with me and seek for how you can contribute to restoring God's Kingdom to this great nation.

.........

Baptisms are a must for Windsor babies. The Queen is Defender of the Faith and Supreme Governor of the Church of England. Prince George will one day take on the role when he becomes king, but his younger sister Princess Charlotte - as only a spare to the heir - will be free from such responsibility.

Royal infants are often welcomed into the Christian faith within weeks of being born.

Charlotte was only nine weeks old at her christening. George was three months old at his. William was baptised on August 4 1982 at the age of six weeks, while the Prince of Wales was one month and one day old at his own christening. The Queen was five weeks old when she was christened.

George was the first future monarch in modern times not to be baptised at Buckingham Palace, with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge choosing the intimate Chapel Royal at St James’s Palace instead.

He was on his best behaviour, blowing bubbles beforehand and being quiet and peaceful afterwards.

Meanwhile, Princess Charlotte was repeating history by being christened in the Church of St Mary Magdalene in Sandringham.

The last great-granddaughter of a serving sovereign to be born in direct succession on the male line - Princess Mary - was also baptised in the same church 118 years ago in 1897.

St Mary Magdalene was also where Charlotte’s late grandmother, Diana, Princess of Wales, was christened on August 30, 1961. Diana was born at Park House on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk where she spent her childhood.

Other notable christenings at the church include Princess Charlotte’s great-great-grandfather King George VI in 1896. The Duke of Cambridge’s cousin Princess Eugenie - the daughter of the Duke of York and Sarah, Duchess of York - was also baptised there in 1990.
