Thousands of Homes in Syria are Demolished

Sadly thousands of homes and business were demolished by the Syrian government. Syria is a perilous place currently. Numerous homes have been destroyed. We need to pray for the victims of the chemical attacks and other attacks that happen in the Middle East. Also Syria has only given up  less than 4% of their weapons. Syria has recently had several human rights violations. What do you think about the conflict going on in Syria? How can we make a difference?

Rhinos are being Murdered more in South Africa!

In South Africa the rate of illegal rhino killing has gone up in the past year. There has been a higher demand for Rhino horns in Asia. Around 1,000 Rhino were poached last year. The year before that it was about 600. Brutally poachers cut Rhino Horns off and leave them to die. Men should take care of God's creation and not destroy it. God gave us this world so we could take care of it. We have a duty to proctect.  We should conserve his creatures he made. What do you think? Should poaching be legalized?

Mall Shooting at a Maryland Mall

Sadly, another shooting has taken place at a mall in Maryland. Three people died including the shooter. Five others were shot. We should pray that God comforts those who have loved ones in the hospital. Our world seems like it is becoming a violent place. We should pray that we can have a month without any shooting.

Internet/Online Voting, Is it too risky? Will peoples votes be lost?

Is internet voting to dangerous? Will  peoples votes be lost? Internet voting can be unsafe. It is susceptible to hackers. But in other countries people are allowed to vote online, so why can't we? First of all Internet or Online voting is very risky a citizen's vote could be lost or changed by a hacker. This new type of fraud would be esy to track but hard to stop. Hackers are even able to hack into government websites. So will a citizen eligible to vote vote be safe  and counted fairly. Will this cause more people to vote? I think that is will make it easier for people to cheat, but it will make it easier for people to vote. Online voting is a good thing but we need stronger fire walls to be able to vote in the future. Who know maybe by the time we, teens are in our 20's we will have online voting.

Your Soda may be KILLING you! Certain sodas Might cause cancer

The caramel coloring in soda may cause cancer. Currently the FDA  is looking into it. The caramel coloring in certain sodas may be a carcinogen over the healthy limit. (Personally I think even a low amount should not be tolerated.) What do you think about this? A carcinogen is a cancer causing property. I vehemently doubt it should be tolerated in our food supply. Please comment on what you think.

Happy Martin Luther King Day!

Martin Luther King Jr. is renowned for his peaceful presence in the civil rights movement. He wanted to fight hate with love. One of his famous speeches is the "I have a dream" Speech. I love this speech. Martin Luther King was born January 15 1929 as Michael Luther King Jr., but later it was changed to Martin Luther king Jr. His father was a pastor and he admired that so he decided to become a pastor. He graduated from a segregated high school at 15. He began attending Morehouse college and He changed colleges twice and in 1955 He received his doctorates. King became a pastor in 1954 at Dexter Avenue baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama. He began working to end segregation in the south. He was a member of the NAACP (Nation Associtaion Advanced of Colored People). When Rosa Parks was jailed for not moving from her seat, He helped spark the Montgomery Bus Boycott. About a year later the supreme court overturned the laws that made segregation possible. He was elected president of the SCLC (Southern Christian Leadership Conference). He was a great leader during the civil rights movement. He knew that you cannot fight hate with hate, but must fight hate with love. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Martin Luther King, Jr. 

 At the Age of 35 Martin Luther King was the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. He gave his prize money to furthering the civil rights movement. King was a great and loving person we must learn that as Christians we cannot fight hate with hate but must love everyone.

Matthew 5:39

39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.

Luke 6:27

27 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
