Amazing things
Peruvian Central Railway

1895

The Peruvian Central Railway is an engineering marvel. It originates in Callao then climbs more than 13,000 feet to cross the continental divide. It is generally considered the highest railway in the world. The railroad features 66 tunnels and 59 bridges, and must zigzag across valleys to minimize the steepness of its climb. There is an onboard doctor who administers oxygen to passengers who get altitude sickness.

Did you know?

Atlanta airport is the bussiest in the world (2003) 76 086 792 passengers.Peru's zigzagging train is the highest in the world. (See details)

 Beginning

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Wordwas God.  "HE" WAS in the beginning with God. All things came into being by Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.  In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it!" 

Children

Muhammad Ali believed in his success, even predicting the exact round, andthen lived into it, so powerfully that his opponents did as well. Parents who trust and believe in their children teach those children to believe in themselves. Likewise, someone who assumes being a victim will generate a perpetual series of occasions for suffering. David Krueger Executive Strategist/Professional Coachhttp://www.executivestrategist.biz/

Human Behaviour

 Jesus, the Temple and Jewish Law

Luke 16:16"The Law and the Prophets were until John; since then, the good news of the kingdom of God has been proclaimed, and everyone is strongly urged to enter it.

John 1:17For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

Mat 26:28For this is My blood of the covenant, which is shed for many for the forgiveness of sins

Luke 1:77to give His people knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins,

Acts 13:38Therefore, let it be known to you, brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is being proclaimed to you,
Mat 26:28 For this is My blood of the covenant, which is shed for many for the forgiveness of sins.

John 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Here is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the worldMat 12:6But I tell you that something greater than the temple is here! 7If you had known what this means: I desire mercy and not sacrifice , you would not have condemned the guiltless. 8For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath."

John 2:19 Jesus answered, "Destroy this sanctuary, and I will raise it up in three days." 20Therefore the Jews said, "This sanctuary took 46 years to build, and will You raise it up in three days?" 21But He was speaking about the sanctuary of His body. 22So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this. And they believed the Scripture and the statement Jesus had made.

“You cannot persuade people who will not listen”.

Wisdom

Ecclesiastes 1:16               In my heart I said, Behold, I became a great man and acquired more wisdom than all those who have been before me in Jerusalem; and my heart has seen much of wisdom and knowledge. 18              7              And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;כי ברב חכמה רב-כעס ויוסיף דעת יוסיף מכאוב
2:12        And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly; for what can a successor to the king do over that which has already been done.
9:16        And said I, Wisdom is better than might; but the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.

Deuteronomy 34:9          And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him; and the people of Israel listened to him, and did as the Lord commanded Moses.
IKings 5:9             And God gave Solomon wisdom and much understanding, and greatness of heart, as the sand that is on the sea shore.
IKings 5:26           And the Lord gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and the two made a covenant together.
