  A newly born baby girl named Danica Camacho, the Philippines' symbolic seven billionth …

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — She came into the world at two minutes before midnight, a tiny, wrinkled girl born into a struggling Manila family. On Monday, she became a symbol of the world's population reaching 7 billion people and all the worries that entails for the planet's future.

Danica May Camacho, born in a crowded public hospital, was welcomed with a chocolate cake marked "7B Philippines" and a gift certificate for free shoes. There were bursts of photographers' flashes, and speeches by local officials.

The celebrations, though, reflected symbolism more than demography.

Amid the millions of births and deaths around the world each day, it is impossible to pinpoint the arrival of the globe's 7 billionth occupant. But the U.N. chose Monday to mark the day with a string of festivities worldwide, and a series of symbolic 7-billionth babies being born.

Danica was the first, arriving at Manila's Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital at two minutes before midnight Sunday — but doctors say that was close enough to count for a Monday birthday.

"She looks so lovely," the mother, Camille Galura, whispered as she cradled the 2.5-kilo (5.5-pound) baby, who was born about a month premature.

The baby was the second for Galura and her partner, Florante Camacho, a struggling driver who supports the family on a tiny salary.

God is preparing a way for YOU. Thanks to Johan

Verse:  Isaiah 45:2

I will go before you and make the crooked places straight…

Do you ever feel like every time you try to move forward in something, you hit a roadblock? Something happens that throws you off course.

Be encouraged today because right now in your life, God is going before you. God is preparing a way for YOU.

He is making your crooked places straight. He is making your rough places smooth.

You may be going through a difficult time right now, but it’s not the end. It’s only the beginning. God has equipped you for this journey.

You may feel like you’re in a dry season, but do not look at your circumstances. Look at the promise of God today!

If you will keep speaking words of faith, God promises that He will anoint your head with oil and your cup will run over. That means you’ll be refreshed and anointed to do what He has called you to do.

God is preparing your path and equipping you for the journey.

What do you need today to keep moving forward? Start by checking your attitude. Don’t go around complaining and focused on the negative side of things. Put on an attitude of praise and thanksgiving.

Thank God for making your crooked places straight! As you do, you will move forward in joy and gladness in the blessed future He has prepared for you!

Prayer:

Lord in heaven, thank You for Your goodness in my life. Thank You for preparing the path for my life and making my crooked places straight. Thank You for restoring my soul and life and for guiding me in everything I do. I submit every area of my life to You today. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

PUMPKIN By Asbo Mick (http://asbomick1.multiply.com/journal/item/1809)

Pumpkins

A lady recently being baptized was asked by 
a co-worker what it was like to be a Christian.

She replied, "It's like being a pumpkin: God picks you
from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt
off that you may have gotten from the other pumpkins. 
Then he cuts the top off and scoops out all the yucky
stuff. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc. 
Then, He carves you a new smiling face and puts His
light inside of you to shine for all the world to see."

 Pass it on to another pumpkin.

Make me an instrument of your PEACE

Arrests, excuses over China's hit-run toddler

Arrests, excuses over China s hit-run toddler




The little Chinese girl, hit by two vans and then left for dead on the side of the road, is in a coma in hospital as outrage grows over her treatment, and passersby who ignored her plead their case.

Yue Yue, 2, suffered terrible injuries when she was struck by the cars in a narrow market street.

The China Daily reports that she can take weak breaths with the help of a respirator and has some feeling in her arms, but that her life is still in danger - and there are fears she may have sustained brain damage.

Video of the moment she was hit by a van, which stopped momentarily, then another vehicle and then left on the road by people who walked passed, sparked outrage in China and the world.

The two drivers have been arrested but passersby have claimed it was "too dark" for them to see her in the street.

There are local media reports that one of the drivers was using his mobile phone.

The Shanghaiist says the driver called Yue Yue's father and offered him money just before he was arrested.

"I was on the phone when it happened, I didn't mean it. When I realised I had knocked her down, I thought I'd go down to see how she was," he was reported as saying.

"Then when I saw that she was already bleeding, I decided to just step on the gas pedal and escape seeing that nobody was around me."

A shopkeeper who appears to walk out of his plumbing shop, look at the girl and then leave says he has been harassed by people.

"[I swear to the God] if I had seen the girl, I would die in your face," the Shanghai Daily News reported him as saying.

WARNING: GRAPHIC VIDEO CONTENT



A motorcyclist who rode away from the tragedy said it was too dim and he believed crying sounds were coming from a nearby shop.

A rubbish collector who helped Yue Yue's was given a $1,570 reward by local authorities.

Yueyue's father Wang told Chinese television: "Yueyue is so lovely. If I quarrelled with her mother and if her mother cried, she would tell us not to cry, she always tried to amuse us.
"I just hope my child will wake up and call me Dad again."

Look for the Cat - yes it is there

** The Logic of Marriage From A Child's View ~

Jack, a very young lad aged 4 years, says to his father, 'Daddy, Daddy, I want to get married.'

His father explains, 'For that Jack, you have to have a boy and a girl.'

So Jack answers, 'I've already found a girl.'

'Who?' splutters his Dad.

'Grandma,' continues Jack happily.

'Now, let me get this straight,' his father says. 'You want to marry my mother? ... You can't do that.'

'I don't see why not?' Jack responds, 'You married mine!'

** How To Make A Marriage Successful ~

'The thrill and excitement are gone from my marriage,' George complains to his mate, Tony.

'Why not add some intrigue to your life and have an affair?' suggests Tony mischievously.

'But what if my wife finds out?' frowns George.

'Lummee, George,' explains Tony, 'this is the 21st century we live in, mate. Go ahead and tell her about it.'

So George returns home and says, 'Poppet, I think an affair will bring us closer together.'

'Forget it,' replies his wife. 'I've tried that - it didn't work.'

** How to Avoid Marriage ~

'Darling,' says Barry to his wife, Sarah, 'I invited a friend home for supper.'

'What? Are you crazy?' Sarah splutters, 'The house is a mess, I didn't go shopping, all the dishes are dirty, and I don't much feel like cooking a fancy meal.'

'I know all that,' murmurs Barry.

'Then why did you invite a friend for supper?' explodes Sarah.

'Because the poor fool's thinking about getting married,' concludes Barry.

GOD BLESS THE REDNECK By Asbo Mick

God Bless The Redneck

You might be a redneck if: It never occurred to you to 
be offended by the phrase, 'One nation, under God.'

You might be a redneck if: You've never protested about 
seeing the 10 Commandments posted in public places.

You might be a redneck if: You still say 'Christmas' 
instead of 'Winter Festival.'

You might be a redneck if: 
You bow your head when someone prays.

You might be a redneck if: You stand and place your hand 
over your heart when they play the National Anthem.

You might be a redneck if: You treat our armed forces 
veterans with great respect, and always have.

You might be a redneck if: 
You've never burned an American flag, nor intend to.

You might be a redneck if: You know what you believe 
and you aren't afraid to say so, no matter who is listening

You might be a redneck if: You respect your elders
 and raised your kids to do the same.

You might be a redneck if: 
You'd give your last dollar to a friend.
