Protectors of the vegetable gardenA dirty, time-wasting way of spending my Saturday! That was how I felt about my first gardening experience when I was ten years old. My father was a slave driver because he did not give us a choice on a Saturday morning. That, at least, was how my younger brother and I felt.Thirty years later... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Christianity (Other) Testimonies: Is it alright to be angry with God

2 of 27

Angry with God?Typical human behavior! The arrogance of the human mind never seize to astonish me. How can anyone be so arrogant as to be angry with God? Yet, we see and hear it all the time.Fortunately we believe in a God who loves us, cares for us and cherishes us. Even if we are angry with Him, He will forgive us our sins ... More..

We can never lose hope of saving South Africa, but reality must also be bared in mind. South Africa is a third world with many ... More..

I doubt it very much that distance learning can make a difference in the drop-out rate of teenagers during high school years.Teenagers are not well enough informed or experienced enough to make a decision on whether they want to go to school or do their studies through distance learning.
