Few days ago, I visited my father at hospital. Maybe it was the last time I saw him. And at the way back, decided to take the tunnel to cross Vosges mountain instead of the smal road pass.
I didn’t realised that I drove too fast 85 instead of 70. There was no other cars, no Trucks and the road was straight. Sundenly a flash. I was driving a car with a swiss number in France. Maybe I will not receive the fine.
Today I receive it. I have to pay 45€ if I don’t pay immediatly that will be 135€.
Communication between european countries and Switzerland is now automatic.
Billy Graham reached more than 200 million through his appearances and millions more through his pioneering use of television and radio.
More than anyone else, Graham built evangelicalism into a force that rivaled liberal Protestantism and Roman Catholicism in the United States. His leadership summits and crusades in more than 185 countries and territories forged powerful global links among conservative Christians, and threw a lifeline to believers in the communist-controlled Eastern bloc. Dubbed « America’s pastor, » he was a confidant to U.S. presidents.
Américan evangelist Billy Graham, who counseled presidents and preached to millions across the world from his native North Carolina to communist North Korea during his 70 years in the pulpit, died on Wednesday at the age of 99, a spokesman said.
He died at 8am EST (1pm GMT) at his home in Montreat, North Carolina, according to Jeremy Blume, a spokesman for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
According to his ministry, he preached to more people than anyone else in history, reaching hundreds of millions of people either in person or via TV and satellite links. He was famed for his style of roaming the stage and hoisting a Bible as he declared Jesus Christ to be the only solution to humanity’s problems.
Mr Graham, nicknamed God’s Machine Gun, became the de facto White House chaplain to several US presidents, most famously Richard Nixon. He also met with scores of world leaders and was the first noted evangelist to take his message behind the Iron Curtain.
Graham used the power of new technologies, like radio and television, to spread his message of personal salvation to an estimated 215 million people globally, while simultaneously reflecting on technology’s limitations. Reciting the story of King David to audiences at TED1998, “David found that there were many problems that technology could not solve. There were many problems still left. And they’re still with us, and you haven’t solved them, and I haven’t heard anybody here speak to that,” he said, referring to human evil, suffering, and death. To Graham, the answer to these problems was to be found in God. Even after his death, through the work of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, led by his son Franklin, his message of personal salvation will live on. (Watch Graham’s TED Talk)
This song simply contaminate joy. Even if I don’t understand any words it give joy and take away all sadness, tiredness and all of low motivation. By the way what is GCC ?
This weekend I was visiting my father. After a long way of driving of few hours I could find the hospital. He explained me what happend. , Suddently he could not stand. So he was at the doctor and the doctor call ambulance. I saw my father who cannot go out his bed with thing that help him to breath with oxygen. It was hard to see him like that. You know I am leaving far away from my family.
Maybe it was the last time I saw him. He was so tired and changed… Memory come back … Emotion with the feeling that I didn’t say what I should. What will you say if you see someone for the last time. It is not easy.

Didn’t you remark that december is a month full of activities. When Chrismas is approaching, that remember that we MUST celebrate Chrismas. Society tells us that we must buy gifts and more. We must decorate and make christmas tree. December is a busy month too in many companies. For shops that is THE month of the year. Yes December is a month of consumption
Then this social pressure of Christmas could become stressing
Poverty
Some people have financial difficulties or have not enough monney. We can call them poor people. They are frustrated because they cannot buy what they want.
Ecology
If you have ecology fiber, you cannnot buy and consum but you want to protect environment. You just want to buy only what you need and not more. If you have a device, you don’t need to replace it with the new one if it still works well. We must save energy and life only with the minimum.
Lonelyness
If you are lonely or if you have crisis in your family, Christmas could be a hard time because we MUST be with our family and we MUST be happy. This month remind us our lonelyness.
If you are poor, ecologist or lonely, december month is a hard month.
Maybe christians could feel better in this special season. Maybe not because Christmas is not a biblical celebration. And today Jesus is not at the center of Christmas as it could be.Jesus born is only a story a myth.
So what can we do during this period ? Maybe walking in the snow far away from shopping center and put our stress away.
Even if you don’t like Christmas : Merry Christmas
I just discover this new singers PLUMB. Actually she is much more known in the secular world than in the christian music world. I like the sound and the melody. The first thing I should like in a song is the music what I hear. I even surprise me to wake up during a night with a music in my head. What is this music ? What is this melody ? When did I hear such music ? After a while I realise that is was this song.
I also like the words of this song. Very deap and touching. I could sing this song myself. What will you ask for me. It is not always as easy to know what we should do and to listen to the voice of God.
There is a wrestling in my heart and my mind
A disturbance and a tension I cannot seem to drive
And if I’m honest, there’s quite a bit of fear
To sit here in this silence and really hear You
What will You ask of me?
Will I listen to Your voice when You speak?
Help me to move, help me to see
Help me to do whatever You would ask of me
Help me to go, God help me to stay
I’m feeling so alone here
And I know that You’re faithful
But I can barely breathe
God help me
Sometimes things, they are black and white
Sometimes they are not and that leaves us torn inside
And in the middle, we are left to wonder
Who we are, what You want and where we’re going
Oh such a mystery
I don’t always understand
But I believe!
I don’t know the future, it’s one day at a time
But I know I’ll be okay with Your hand holding mine
So take all my resistance
Oh God I need Your grace
One step and then the other
Show me the way
Show me the way!
Help me to move, help me to see
Help me to do whatever You would ask of me
Help me to go, God help me to stay
I’m feeling so alone here
And I know that You’re faithful
But I can barely breathe
But I can barely breathe
But I can barely breathe
God help me
Nick Vujicic, the remarkable evangelist born with no arms and no legs, was part of a massive outreach in Ukraine in which 400,000 surrendered to Christ as their Lord and Savior.
“The biggest event that our team at Life Without Limbs has seen and maybe the largest event ever in Europe – 800,000 people in the streets of Kiev Ukraine!” Nick reported on Facebook Oct. 17th.
Vujicic, 33, was born without arms or legs and was given no medical reason for his condition. On the ministry’s website, he explains, « It’s been said that doors open to a man without arms and legs much more easily than to anyone else, we thank God for providing that privilege. I’ve been invited into very unexpected places to share about my faith in Jesus Christ and literally millions have responded. »
