YOU CAN SKIP THIS PART(short joke)...SCROLL DOWN FOR NEWS BELOW
A young couple moved into a new neighbourhood. The next morning while eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbour through the window hanging the wash outside.
"That laundry is not clean," she said. "She doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap".
Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Every time the neighbour would hang laundry to dry, the young woman would make the same
comments.
About one month later, the woman was surprised to see nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband: "Look, she has learnt how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this!"
The husband replied: "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows."
And so it is with life.
What we see when watching others depends on the purity of the window through which we look.
Easy to discuss other people, their lives and things that don't really concern us.
Yet we tend to forget- our window isn't that clean after all.
Clean up your window with the WORD! (THE TRUTH.)
LORD, please give us the strength, humility and courage that we may work on our faults first rather than seeing the faults in Others and castigating them.
Have a beautiful Week !

NOW THE NEWS IN FULL.....

Abused Oklahoma mother, Tondalo Hall is serving a 30-year prison sentence while her abuser walked free after serving only two years. On Wednesday, September 23, the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board unanimously voted to deny her the possibility of parole, though she has already spent 11 years behind bars.
Buzzfeed News reports that in 2004, Tondalo Hall was arrested for failing to protect her then-3-month-old daughter and 20-month-old son from her abusive boyfriend, Robert Braxton. According to court documents, Hall, who was also being abused by Braxton, took her two children to the doctor, where she discovered that both infants had broken ribs and broken femurs. Both Hall and Braxton were taken into custody.
During the 2004 hearing, Hall testified against Braxton, claiming that she was unaware of the children's injuries, but both the judge and prosecutors felt that her hesitance on the stand would result in a mild sentence for Braxton. Prosecutors offered him a two-year plea deal, which he took. However, at Hall's trial, a judge said that she was "less than candid" in her testimony, and sentenced her to 30 years in prison for failing to protect her children.
Hall isn't eligible for parole until 2030—only four years before her scheduled release. The parole board voted 5-0 to deny her application for clemency, offering no explanation.
"The Oklahoma Parole Board had the responsibility to make things right, and they failed with today's decision," Shaunna Thompson, co-founder of advocacy group UltraViolet, said in a statement.
BuzzFeed found that, currently, there are 28 abused women across the country who are serving prison sentences of at least 10 years for failing to protect their children from abusers.

Revenge is a Poison meant for others, which we end up swallowing ourselves. Vengence is a Dark Light that blinds all who seek it. Don’t argue with Idiots.. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
