NAKED MAN JUMPS ONTO DOUBLE-DECKER BUS ROOF!

A naked man jumped onto the roof of a double-decker bus
 from a top-floor flat which had caught fire.

Bus driver Andy Waterman backed-up his double-decker so a man 
could make the jump from a burning top floor flat to safety.

“The naked man, who is thought to have been in the shower, leapt 10ft from a second-story window in Braintree, Essex,” reports the BBC.

"A very emotional scene that I witnessed a few days ago. This elephant had fallen into a well in hostile territory. Hostile because that community sees elephants as nothing more than a pest that destroys their crops. They wanted to kill and eat it but the Kenya Wildlife Service eventually managed to disperse the manic mob of hundreds of people.

Luckily there was a Chinese construction company building a railway nearby, and they kindly lent their digger to free the poor elephant. (This was an interesting happening, considering the flak that the Chinese take in Africa, particularly for the ivory trade). Anyhow, the rescue worked and the last we saw the bull was heading for the bush, tired but strong. Happy conclusion at least!"

Drug Smugglers 'Sang Hymns' As They Were Shot

Eight drug smugglers - including seven foreigners - executed in Indonesia went to their deaths singing hymns and praying.

"The good thing is all prisoners were executed together while praying and singing," Christina Widiantarti, a lawyer for the Brazilian convict and a witness to the execution, said.

"Before that they hugged each other, saying goodbye."

The husband of Pastor Christie Buckingham, who gave spiritual guidance to one of the Australians, said his wife told him the men conducted themselves with "dignity and strength until the end".

I don't know what you think but although they had done wrong they didn't deserve to die for their crimes. The good news is they found peace at the end and are now with Jesus! Thank you Pastor Christie for sticking with them and helping them with their spiritual journey.

WHAT ABOUT POLITICS?

Aren’t you just a bit fed up with the election? All the parties have good points – some have bad, even dangerous perhaps!...But what should I do?

I’ve had a look at http://www.christiansinpolitics.org.uk/showup/ - helpful, yes, but it doesn’t give me an answer – except ‘get involved & show up’! Different people gave their thoughts on video and one person Greg McKeown I really must research and get his book ‘Essentialism’ – sounds like it might change my life – but it wasn’t anything to do with politics!

So - the horrible stuff is happening but there's lots of good!
Here's one to finish up with:

"CAN SOUP CHANGE THE WORLD" THE BBC ASKED?

At a SOUP event people come together for home-made soup, bread, salad and cakes. Everyone pays about £3 at the door and during the evening four projects would be pitched - things that would be for the social good. These are discussed and voted on and the project that gets the most votes receives the door takings to help with their business.The whole event brings the community together and it is an opportunity to make new friends.

A lot to think about! But wouldn't it be good to get something like this happening in my/your area? Possibly getting together with The Real Junk Food Project ideas. First things first though - we need a team! What about you, what do you think of this idea?

Mmmmm…not sure about this though -  IS THIS A HUG?!
