  2. My 3 year old son made me a millionaire. I got serious with investing cos of him. Discovered the renowned Vayroko. The lady CEO there changed my life man. I live happy and financially free now all because I started thinking about posterity and what to leave behind for my loved ones. Anyone can get motivated by what works best for them but just get started doing something about your finances. It’s totally worth it

  6. I had the honor of meeting Gregory Hines at the Los Angeles Airport 23 year ago. A kind and charming man. I was such a fan that I didn't dare "gush" on about that, but knew that he could see it in my eyes. Gone far too soon.

  7. Death separates us from our beloved ones, it darkens our bright holidays, it always spoils the joy of our existance, it deprives of sense all the efforts of home arrangement, accumulation of money, getting education, piling up knowledge and various skills. All our titles, diplomas, certificates, awards, decorations become useless, completely useless when our hearts stop beating. Our bodies, so cherished during our lifetime, though washed, perfumed, covered with flowers will inevitably become food to worms or fire at last.

    How we hate and fear that cold snake – the death !

    There is One, however, Who hates it even more. God, Who brings all things into existence, Who breathes life in all living creatures. He Himself is the very negation of the death, absolutely incompatible with it. That is why, immediately after death entered the world, even before that, God had a plan how to defeat it.

    The problem was not a technical one. There are no technical problems to God. Dozens of difficulties, many of them insoluble, stand before our physicians, biologists, scientists, engineers, all of them trying to prolong the life of the sick and the old even though an extra day.

    It is not the case to the Almighty. He is in absolute control of all physical, chemical, biological laws in nature, so He is able to give a perfect health and life to each of His creatures at every moment of the time.

    The problem to God was juridical : How to acquit the sinful man in order to have the right to give him eternal life. He could not free him from the guilt arbitrarily; justice demands punishment for crimes. God needed a legal ground to discharge the guilty man. And He found the solution, the only solution.

    Christ took upon himself the punishment we deserved for our sins. Although not guilty, he was beaten, insulted, and finally killed on the cross – to pay our debt to God.

    And since then, since first century A.D. a striking message, most important in all human history, started spreading all over the inhabited earth: Everyone who (first) repents, that is confesses and rejects lies, thievery, murder, lechery, everything that is wrong, and (second) believes in Jesus Christ, confesses him in public as a Lord and Saviour, receives from God complete forgiveness of the sins and (!) ETERNAL LIFE. Can we grasp it ? Everyone accepting that gift must tell it in prayer to the resurrected Christ without delay, and then, if possible, be baptized in water and take Lord's Supper with Christians. When the determined time comes such a person (no matter alive or asleep in death) will be given a new body

    not subject to disease, ageing and death any more.

    All authority of the Creator stands behind that promise.
