Rich vs Poor?

The case of Ethan Couch and Jaime Arellano is very worth studying:-http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/affluenza-case-highlights-disparity-sentencing-article-1.2533960 (disclaimer: I have not fact-checked everything in the link)

It opened up a raging debate on whether rich can "game" the legal system in America using their wealth.

Affordable, Easily-Accessible Career Development Resources

A new project:-
"Affordable, Easily-Accessible Career Development Resources"
https://sites.google.com/view/aacdr

"Unfortunately, very few in this planet have easy access to necessary career development resources. For instance, some communities may lack college-level teachers who have the most "up-to date" knowledge (say, in the field of science & engineering). The goal of this project is to ensure that every individual on this planet has easy access to resources needed to carve out a great career."

"Through the Eyes of a Lion: Facing Impossible Pain, Finding Incredible Power"

In a new book, "Through the Eyes of a Lion: Facing Impossible Pain, Finding Incredible Power", author Lusko challenges one to live everyday not just "to survive" but to live with fire and passion. 

This starts when you go beyond your earthly eyes - learn to look at life and your circumstances through the eyes of Jesus - the eyes of a Lion (but a good / benevolent one,  as in Isaiah 11:6)!


Elsewhere, Lusko preached: "Jesus was crucified on a Friday and rose on a Sunday, and Saturday was the time of trial for His disciples. A promise had been given but not fulfilled yet. The question is, how do we live on "Saturday"?".
