Inspirational and final reminder

Your last chance to enter the giveaway is today.... Just to remind you. So far I only have two entries - My brother and a friend who shared the post on facebook. So, if you still want to win the softwware, comment away on the original post, like their facebook page or their twitter - you do, however need to let me know in a comment. Then I wanted to share with you these two fantastic Focus on the familiy episodes.

As I stepped out of the door and took my usual plunge (hey this is free-fall after all) down to the new level, the square filled with people. Most of them were clearly on-Christians, since their attire betrayed them as usual... dressed in black they surrounded me, who clearly was betrayed by my attire (white). Funny how a confrontation does not need words. My pen was my weapon, and I drew it, held it at outstretched arms and immediately the leader of the pack formed the horizontal to a cross against mine. This somehow gave him the power to unscrew the nut half-way down. All I could do was watch, because nothing I could have done would in any way have saved me from destruction. Funny that I was not afraid. After unscrewing the nu...
