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 !

The Hill: Obama's war legacy in the balance
Afghanistan is returning to the forefront of U.S. politics, presenting President Obama with a legacy-defining question that could roil the Democratic and Republican races to succeed him.
A U.S. airstrike ordered by Afghan forces that inadvertently killed 22 people at a Doctors Without Borders hospital this weekend has amplified concerns that security forces are not ready to stand on their own two feet.
The turmoil in Afghanistan is presenting Obama with a painful choice: to go back on his promise to end the longest war in American history or press ahead with withdrawal over the advice of his top commanders.
WNU Editor: President Bush left office with the Iraq and Afghan wars as his legacy .... the impression that I am having of this White House when it comes to international affairs is that of a President and his supporters trying their best to keep everything from blowing-up in their face. And while the last thing that President Obama wants to see on his watch is a major war and/or the complete implosion of Afghanistan and/or Iraq .... the trends are indicating otherwise, and what will happen in the next year will ultimately define his legacy.
On a personal note .... I cannot help but be stunned on how much the world has changed in just the past two to three years. All of the countries around the Mediterranean Sea and the Middle East are now experiencing the following .... a state of civil war, facing war, experiencing terrorism and/or facing terror threats, social unrest, massive economic hardships, and mass migration at a level that has not been seen since the Second World War. The Post-Cold-War era in eastern Europe is also now at an end, and in its place we are seeing a new "Cold-War' descending with all of the tensions and dangers that it presents. And China .... asserting its territorial claims and putting fear in all of its neighbours, .... and doing so knowing that the U.S. is a declining power with limited influence in Asia. And then there is Afghanistan .... with no good options on the table .... and definitely no end to the fighting there.
KEEP SCROLLING TO THE END ...WE STILL GOT LOTS MORE .......
