I was watching some little kids play soccer. These kids were only five or six years old, but they were playing a real game - a serious game - two teams, complete with coaches, uniforms, and parents. I didn't know any of them, so I was able to enjoy the game without the distraction of being anxious about winning or losing - I only wished the parents and coaches could have done the same. The teams were pretty evenly matched. I will just call them Team One and Team Two.
Nobody scored in the first period. The kids were hilarious. They were clumsy and terribly inefficient, as only children can be. 🙂 They fell over their own feet, they stumbled over the ball, they kicked at the ball and missed it, but they didn't seem to care they were having fun!
In the second period, the Team One coach, pulled out what must have been his first team players and put in the scrubs; with the exception of his best player, who he left at goalie. The game took a dramatic turn. I guess winning is important even when you are five years old, because the Team Two coach left his best players in; the Team One scrubs were just no match for them.
Team Two swarmed around the little guy at goalie. He was an outstanding athlete for five, but he was no match for three or four who were equally as good. Team Two began to score. The lone goalie gave it his all. Recklessly throwing his body in front of incoming balls, trying valiantly to stop them.
Team Two scored two quick points in succession. It infuriated the young boy. He became a raging maniac - shouting, running, and diving. With all the stamina he could muster, he finally was able to cover one of the boys as he approached the goal. But, that boy kicked the ball to another boy twenty feet away, and by the time the young goalie repositioned himself, it was too late.
They scored a third goal. I soon learned who the goalie's parents were. They were nice, decentlooking people. I could tell that his dad had just come from the office, tie and all. They yelled encouragement to their son. I became totally absorbed, watching the boy on the field, and his parents on the sideline. After the third goal, the little kid changed.
He could see it was no use; he couldn't stop them. He didn't quit, but he became quietly desperate - futility was written all over his face. His father changed too. He had been urging his son to try harder - yelling advice and encouragement. But then he changed; he became anxious. He tried to say that it was okay to hang in there. He grieved for the pain his son was feeling.
After the fourth goal, I knew what was going to happen. I've seen it before. The little boy needed help so badly, and there was no help to be had. He retrieved the ball from the net and handed it to the referee - and then he cried. He just stood there while huge tears rolled down both cheeks. He went to his knees, I saw his father start onto the field.
His wife clutched his wrist and said, "Jim, don't. You'll embarrass him." But, he tore loose from her and ran onto the field. He wasn't supposed to for the game was still in progress. Suit, tie, dress shoes, and all - he charged onto the field and he picked up his son so everybody would know that this was his boy. And he hugged him and kissed him and cried with him. I have never been so proud of any man in my life. He carried him off the field, and when they got close to the sidelines I heard him say, "Scotty, I'm so proud of you. You were great out there. I want everybody to know that you are my son."
"Daddy," the boy sobbed, "I couldn't stop them. I tried, Daddy, I tried and tried and they scored on me." "Scotty, it doesn't matter how many times they score on you. You're my son, and I'm proud of you. I want you to go back out there and finish the game. I know you want to quit, but you can't. And son, you're going to get scored on again, but it doesn't matter. Go on, now."It made a difference - I could tell it did. When you're all alone, and you're getting scored on - and you can't stop them - it means a lot to know that it doesn't matter to those who love you. The little guy ran back on to the field, and they scored two more times; but it was okay.
I get scored on every day. I try so hard. I recklessly throw my body in every direction. I fume and rage. I struggle with temptation and sin with every ounce of my being - and Satan laughs. And he scores again, and the tears come, and I go to my knees; sinful, convicted, helpless.
Then my Father rushes right out on the field - right in front of the whole crowd - the whole jeering laughing world, and he picks me up. And he hugs me, and he says, "I am so proud of you. You were great out there. I want everybody to know that you are my child.
Isaiah 41:10, 13

The inhabitants of San Antonio da platina in Brazil are witnessing a very strange phenomenon; a frightful rain of spiders. This phenomenon is apparently due to what is called " Spider ballooning a technique that allows young spiders to jump in the air to find another habitat. These paintings are in the form of a veil and one breath of air to take them away. If it's not uncommon for spiders to fly, it's exceptional to see millions landing in the same place. There's worse than rain, hail or lightning: the rain of spiders! The small town of Goulburn, in Southern Australia, experienced this frightening phenomenon last week. The inhabitants have seen their gardens and houses being covered by a large amount of paintings falling from the sky. On These: millions of tiny spiders. Ian Watson described this spectacular scene on Facebook: "I am 10 minutes from the city, and we can clearly see hundreds of small spiders floating with their paintings and my home is covered". a balloon ride if The phenomenon seems to trigger a general panic, it is not uncommon in this part of Australia. It is actually due to a change in climatic conditions. After heavy rains, spiders living on the ground or in des are trying to escape drowning. To do so, they take flight thanks to a technique called " hot air balloon ". " hot air balloon is not a rare behavior for many spiders. They climb to a high area and point their back to the sky and release the canvas. Then they just take off," explained the arachnologue Rick Vetter to livescience. So Les use their canvas a bit like paragliding. More amazing, according to Rick Vetter, this behavior takes place more often than you think, " it happens all around us, all the time. Just, we don't notice ". what's really rare is that millions of spiders take off at the same time and land in the same place. Angel Hair? Of course, by practicing the hot-Air Balloon, spiders don't control where they go. They can be carried by the wind. And if there's a sudden depression, it happens that they all fall down to the same place. Like in Goulburn. Such a surprising stop for the inhabitants of the city as for small animals. When you observe such a quantity of spiders that have made the hot-Air Balloon, you call this phenomenon " rain of spiders ", or " Angel hair " because of the long light wires that they give up a little everywhere after their landing. The largest "Landings" observed nearly 40 kilometres wide!

Siempre dijo que se tuvo que ir del Barça por motivos extradeportivos. Y asà fue. Lo que nunca habÃa llegado a desvelar es que fue el presidente de la época, NarcÃs de Carreras, quien le vetó por una cuestión religiosa: antes de incorporarse al Barça, en abril de 1966, el delantero angoleño Jorge Alberto Mendonça (Mendoza, una vez nacionalizado español) ya formaba parte de los testigos de Jehová y cuando NarcÃs de Carreras lo supo, quiso apartarlo del equipo.

MOSCOW — Workers building stadiums for next year’s World Cup in Russia have faced repeated abuses and routinely gone unpaid for several months, according to a report by Human Rights Watch released on Wednesday.
At a stadium in Yekaterinburg, some workers were required to work in temperatures of minus-25 degrees Celsius (minus-13 Fahrenheit) “without sufficient breaks for them to warm themselves,” the report states.
“FIFA is essentially expecting us to take their word for it that their work has improved workers’ lives,” Jane Buchanan, the report’s author, told The Associated Press. “This is supposed to be the reformed FIFA, moving away from secrecy and a lot of deals behind closed doors.”
At least 17 workers have died on World Cup construction sites, according to Building and Wood Workers’ International, a trade union.
Known deaths include workers killed in falls and the case of a worker from North Korea who died of a reported heart attack at the stadium in St. Petersburg, which will host the final of the Confederations Cup on July 2, as well as World Cup matches in 2018.

Soyons reconnaissant devant toutes ses oeuvres· 0 replies
Le Dieu des dieux, Jéhovah, parle ;
il convoque la terre
depuis le soleil levant jusqu’au soleil couchant.
De Sion, la perfection de la beauté, Dieu rayonne.
Notre Dieu viendra et ne pourra pas garder le silence.
Il y a un feu dévorant devant lui,
et une violente tempête fait rage autour de lui.
Il convoque les cieux et la terre
pour juger son peuple :
« Rassemblez auprès de moi mes fidèles,
ceux qui concluent une alliance avec moi par un sacrifice. »
Les cieux proclament sa justice,
car Dieu lui-même est Juge. (Sèla.)
« Écoute, ô mon peuple, je vais parler ;
ô Israël, je vais témoigner contre toi.
Je suis Dieu, ton Dieu.
Ce n’est pas pour tes sacrifices que je te réprimande,
ni pour tes holocaustes, qui sont constamment devant moi.
Je n’ai pas besoin de prendre un taureau de ta maison
ni des boucs de tes enclos.
Car tous les animaux sauvages de la forêt m’appartiennent,
même les bêtes sur mille montagnes.
Je connais tous les oiseaux des montagnes;
les innombrables animaux des champs sont à moi.
Si j’avais faim, je ne te le dirais pas,
car le sol productif m’appartient, avec tout ce qui s’y trouve.
Vais-je manger la viande des taureaux
et boire le sang des boucs?
Offre en sacrifice à Dieu ta reconnaissance
et acquitte-toi des vœux que tu as faits au Très-Haut;
appelle-moi en temps de détresse.
Je te secourrai, et tu me glorifieras. »
Mais Dieu dira au méchant :
« De quel droit récites-tu mes prescriptions
ou parles-tu de mon alliance?
Car tu détestes la discipline,
et sans cesse tu tournes le dos à mes paroles.
Quand tu vois un voleur, tu l’approuves,
et tu fréquentes les personnes adultères.
Avec ta bouche, tu répands le mal,
et tu attaches la tromperie à ta langue.
Tu t’assieds et tu parles contre ton frère;
tu révèles les défauts du fils de ta propre mère.
Quand tu faisais ces choses, je gardais le silence,
alors tu t’es dit que j’étais comme toi.
Mais, à présent, je vais te réprimander
et exposer ce que j’ai contre toi.
Réfléchissez à ceci, s’il vous plaît, vous qui oubliez Dieu,
sinon je vous déchirerai et il n’y aura personne pour vous secourir.
Celui qui offre en sacrifice sa reconnaissance me glorifie ;
et à celui qui est déterminé à bien agir
je ferai voir le salut de Dieu. »

Dieu aime les prières et la sincérité de ses serviteurs humbles· 0 replies
Dieu aime la bonté de coeur envers autrui et non aux sacrifices et holocaustes d'animaux sauvages et domistiques.
Dans ton amour fidèle, accorde-moi ta faveur, ô Dieu.
Dans ta grande miséricorde, efface mes transgressions.
Lave-moi complètement de ma faute
et purifie-moi de mon péché.
Car je suis bien conscient de mes transgressions,
et mon péché est constamment devant moi.
C’est contre toi que j'ai failli, oui j'ai fait le mal
devant tes yeux.
Ainsi, tu es juste quand tu parles,
tu es droit quand tu juges.
Vois ! Je suis né coupable
et, depuis l’instant où ma mère m’a conçu, je suis pécheur.
Vois ! Tu prends plaisir à la vérité dans le fond du cœur;
enseigne-moi la vraie sagesse, au plus profond de moi.
Purifie-moi de mon péché avec l’hysope, pour que je sois pur;
lave-moi, pour que je sois plus blanc que la neige.
Fais-moi entendre le son de l’allégresse et de la joie,
pour que les os que tu as broyés se réjouissent.
Détourne ton visage de mes péchés
et efface toutes mes fautes.
Crée en moi un cœur pur, ô Dieu,
et mets en moi un esprit nouveau, ferme.
Ne me chasse pas de ta présence ;
ne m’enlève pas ton esprit saint.
Redonne-moi la joie d’être sauvé par toi;
éveille en moi la volonté de t’obéir.
Je veux enseigner tes chemins aux transgresseurs,
pour que les pécheurs reviennent à toi.
Libère-moi de la culpabilité de meurtre, ô Dieu, mon Dieu sauveur,
pour que ma langue puisse proclamer joyeusement ta justice.
Ô Jéhovah, ouvre mes lèvres
pour que ma bouche proclame ta louange.
Car tu ne veux pas de sacrifices — autrement, j’en donnerais ;
tu ne prends pas plaisir aux holocaustes.
Le sacrifice qui plaît à Dieu, c’est un esprit brisé ;
un cœur brisé et broyé, ô Dieu, tu ne le rejetteras pas.
Dans ta bienveillance, agis pour le bien de Sion ;
bâtis les murailles de Jérusalem.
Alors tu prendras plaisir aux sacrifices de justice,
aux holocaustes et aux offrandes totales ;
alors on offrira des taureaux sur ton autel.

Hello to all my Spiritual Brothers and Sisters! I haven't been on here in a while, because as of August 17, 2021, I moved to Commerce, Texas! I was on the Commerce Housing Authority Waiting list since 2019! I was selected to receive my one bedroom apartment, with my Chihuahua, with my precious Babyboy, who is now 16 years old! and I signed my lease on August 5, 2021, and had my gas turned on! We have a very small Congregation of 71 publishers, including me! I haven't been to our beautiful Kingdomhall yet, but I did take some photos of the outside of it! I'm praying that we are one of the Congregations, chosen to start attending in person, our pilot meetings that many countries are now attending! Puerto Rico, Chile, and Australia are a few chosen right now! There's three Shirley's in my Congregation! Two elderly sisters, one is white, she's No.1 , and another elderly sister who is black, she's No.2, and I'm ShirleyL3! One sister lovingly named me that! I feel special now! I haven't been given an assignment yet, but soon I will! I really enjoyed our "POWERFUL by FAITH" Regional Convention so much! We needed all the Spiritual Encouragement which focused on all of us! Also, all those beautiful videos, and the real life experiences! July 29, 1972, was my baptism date! 49 years now, serving Jehovah! I was 15 when I dedicated my life to serve Jehovah! I'm 64 years young now, and still faithfully serving Jehovah! I do telephone witnessing now! Which lots of people hang up on me, but I'm used to it now! All that matters is that I'm giving Jehovah my best! I'm so excited about our Special Campaign now! Only Jehovah reads hearts! Hopefully lots of people will show some interest! This year 2021 is almost over! I received both doses of Moderna, and have to wait till I turn 65 in May, to receive my Booster shot! We lost over 17, 000 brothers and sisters to Covid-19! My prayers are with them and their families! Soon, as Jehovah has promised, they will welcome their loved ones back in their lives, during the resurrection! I love it here so much, everyone is very friendly! I just love my Congregation too! I hope everyone makes their personal decision to get vaccinated! Also I hope everyone has a great rest of 2021! Let's see what Jehovah has in store for us in 2022! Were having our Circuit Assembly on November 27, 2021! Take care of yourselves, be safe, and always trust in Jehovah!!! Have a great weekend everybody, agape love, Sister Shirley Ann Lowery!· 1 reply
