Having A Black Belt I managed to keep a straight face while replying, No, there are a few colors in between. The naiveté amused me. Yet in fairness, this group of 25 newly-minted yellow belts had been promoted in record time-just six weeks. It had been a special summer program for kids just out of juvenile hall, or expelled from district schools. An experiment.So, I could see how they might think the whole process would be collapsed. On the other hand, I'd worked them two solid hours a day, four days a week, hour-for-hour at least the equivalent of a traditional program's three one-hour classes a week for 3-6 months. There was no gimme to it. This kid had conveniently forgotten all the hard work they'd done, although some of the kids around him-still sore, stiff, and blistered-burst into laughter at his question. Yet I sensed a dark side to this mirthful moment as we stood in the afterglow of our hard-won achievement. Sure, on the surface this student's comment appeared to be merely a neophyte's inexperience. But 16 years of working with street-savvy kids kept me from dismissing the pall which had fallen. What was it? The unsettling feeling lasted a day or two...more

DO YOU THINK JESUS MADE A MISTAKE AS SOME ARE INSINUATING? FIND OUT WHY THIS IS NOT TRUE Someone is making people believe Jesus made a mistake by not writing His own accounts Himself and the four gospels which gave the account of Jesus were contradictory. Even went far by asking if Jesus Christ could read or write? Get some answers if you care!First and foremost, if you do not even believe in His divinity as God, how then can you believe that He could read or write? John1:1-3 states that "In the beginning was the word, the word was with God and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him and without Him nothing was made that was made. He was the word made flesh and hence has no need to write. His life is the word which was told to us by his witnesses.Now on a more simpler and secular terms, Jesus Christ had a specific Job to do and that is to do His father's business (Luke2:49) which is to come and redeem Mankind and not to begin some Autobiography. The writing and the preaching has been left to those who witnessed Him and subsequently to those who believe (Matthew28:19-20). And the first people to do this were of course His closest...more
