Do You Believe in God and Angels?

Watch the two videos below, then read about this young man after watching the videos:





Bed Breedlove is 18 years old when he made this video.  As the video explains, he has a dangerous heart condition.  Then, on Christmas Day of last year (2011), he had a heart attack and died.  He was spared long enough to share his message to a world that is cold-hearted and does not believe in God.  What a powerful message.

A Tale of Two Cities

A Tale of Two CitiesA Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


It was the best of books; it was the worst of books.  OK, that is really corny, but it does sum up how this book felt to me.  Reading Charles Dickens is very difficult for me.  At times, I would get lost in what he was trying to say.  In fact, I had to resort to Cliff notes on the Internet to fully understand some of the passages--especially when he would write using the dialect that the English would use, and when he would try to translate French idioms into an English equivalent.  They story is very tragic yet is encouraging.
