Michael Pritchard has invented a water filter system that is inexpensive, easily transportable, and apparently very effective. For those living in developed areas, potable water isn’t a daily issue for you. However, in most of the undeveloped world, drinkable water is a matter of life and death. A number of organizations have become involved in sponsoring water wells in various parts of the world. This water filter system should not be over looked if you are interested in helping provide potable water for those that don’t have easy access to such.
Things Kids Say

My 5-year-old daughter does not yet take the Lord’s Supper, so she is very jealous and attentive to all that goes on during that event. In Israel we use matza for the Lord’s Supper, and when it is broken, it comes out in random sizes; some larger, some smaller. This past Friday night, I got a rather large piece of matza, which immediately drew her attention.
“What’s that, Abbah?” she asked. I began to explain, “This is a picture of Jesus – how his body was,” at which point I was interrupted with, “But it doesn’t look like Jesus!”
Clearly, from a 5-year-old’s perspective, she was correct. In fact, her reply caused me to take another look at the broken piece of matza resting in my hand, . . . and to reconsider how I try to communicate important truths to her . . . and to others.

These sabra didn’t go out quickly, and have started to shrivel. However, they are still available for purchase . . . and at a lesser price.

You can see from the sign that these items are being discounted due to quality. In other words, they’ve passed their “sell by date.” It is common to see less financially fortunate people sorting through items like these that have been discarded at the end of the day. These particular items may have another day in the discount box, but they’ll be tossed soon.
