Pastor who exploits gods word for profit and publicity must have had great PR.I’m sure you’d heard the news about this Florida Pastor, Rev Terry Jones, of a tiny church who planned to burn Quran on the anniversary of the 911 attack. His plan drew worldwide opposition. President Barack Obama of the US even appealed to him on television and some other US officials called him personally to stop the burning of Qurans.

The Most Beautiful Flower By Unknown Author
The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read.
Beneath the long, straggly branches of an old willow tree.
Disillusioned by life with good reason to frown,
For the world was intent on dragging me down.
And if that weren't enough to ruin my day,
A young boy out of breath approached me, all tired from play.

A Arte de Audrey Kawasaki
The themes in Audrey Kawasaki's work are contradictions within themselves. Her work is both innocent and erotic. Each subject is attractive yet disturbing. Audrey's precise technical style is at once influenced by both manga comics and Art Nouveau. Her sharp graphic imagery is combined with the natural grain of the wood panels she paints on, bringing an unexpected warmth to enigmatic subject matter.

It Is By Author Unknown
It's nice to know that you're secured with that someone. That even if the rain is pouring hard and the sky is almost dark, he'll never leave you just so you won't feel alone. Even if his friends had left him (and even if he has to be somewhere else) he'd still stay by your side, just so you won't feel alone.

Greater By Ralph Marston
Even when the pain is great, the goodness in your life is greater. Feel that goodness, wrap your awareness around it, and act on it.
You have always known what joy feels like, and you can always allow that joy to flow out through your life. Each joy lives again, even more intensely, every time it is recalled.

Glass Of Milk By Anonymous
One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry.
He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.
Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water! She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it so slowly, and then asked, How much do I owe you?"
You don't owe me anything," she replied. "Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness."
He said, "Then I thank you from my heart."

The Orient Express
This is almost a tour of Imperial Europe, starting in Britain, passing through France and the Austro-Hungarian (Habsburg) Empire to the heart of the Ottoman.
The service ran from London to Constantinople (now Istanbul) via Paris.
The London-Vienna service ran daily from Victoria (LC&DR terminus) via Calais and Charing Cross (SER) via Boulogne, thence via Paris and Munich. Journey time was some 36 hours or so.
Paris-Constantinople ran weekly on Wednesday via Vienna, Budapest and Belgrade, taking three days.
A further Paris-Bucharest service ran on Thursday and Sunday via Vienna and Budapest.
Orient Express — an experience I’ve only had in films and novels.
