My "Roman Empire is the realization that my life is a lottery win. Somewhere in Sudan, Pålestine, iran, Afghanistan, Iraq or Congo, there is a boy smarter than me. He is more disciplined, more resilient, and holds more potential in his single finger than I do in my entire career.
The only difference? I am siting in a train and he is sting in the rubble of his dreams.
My "bad days" are his wildest dreams.

An obvious thing about Christians is that they don’t read the Bible and have never taken the time to understand Jesus. So I am gonna teach yall. And before you ask what I know about the Bible, I was a theology student, Sunday school teacher and I’ve read the entire Bible.
Mpoomy is right, many of us made it through this year because of PEOPLE. People who love us, people who care for us, people who carried us in times where we couldn’t do it on our own.
We all survived differently.

On 5 Dec 2023, a group of children (20) traveling on a bus from Pretoria to Cape Town.
Another passenger on the bus noticed that the children were not excited or noisy, like children would act when going on holiday,
They were very quiet, and the other passenger noticed that during bus breaks, the children were not getting off the bus.
So this passenger alerted a family member in Kimberly to call the police and search the bus during their break in Kimberley.
Police acting on a tip off immediately stopped and searched the bus.
It was discovered that the children were kidnapped and the children didn't even know each other. The children are currently in a place of safety in Kimberley and will be reunited with their families soon
A Zimbabwean couple was arrested.
