Recently a major mega preacher, Creflo Dollar, asked his congregation, and then Facebook fans to donate $65 million dollars towards his major quest.  What’s the quest? To own a private Gulfstream G650 jet so that he, his pastors and staff of World Changers Church International can fly around the world and preach the Word.
  Most Christians know the story of the poor widow who gave her last two coins, all that she had to live on, in the offering box and how Jesus said she had put in more than the rich because they gave out of their abundance while she gave out of her poverty. This story has been taught in Bible School, during church sermons and used to encourage the poor to not only give their 10 percent tithes, but also give an offering. There are some churches that also want them to contribute to the church anniversary, Pastor’s anniversary, the First Lady Appreciation day and, well, you get the picture.

Step by step the revitalization of Franklinton is gaining traction. And because this is the city’s oldest neighborhood and practically in the shadows of downtown, how Franklinton actually emerges will be historic even if the revival takes two decades, the time planners have suggested is needed to make their vision a reality.
  But questions and rumors are swirling amongst residents, some of whom are families with generations invested in Franklinton.

province last night, police decided to charge him with nine more

news site reported on June 4.

Lt. Gen. Manas, detained without bail on June 4, is the highest
official to be arrested and linked to deadly Asian trafficking

BANGKOK, Thailand -- Thailand's expensive international tourism effort
to downplay its reputation as a sexual playground suffered a rude
setback after three British soccer players appeared in a published
video laughing and shouting racist and vulgar abuse during their
Bangkok orgy with three Thai women.

The government's costly Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT)
promotional organization earlier said it was "very proud" to work with
England's Leicester City team and club, before three of its players
appeared romping in a hotel bed with the trio of unidentified Thais.

Uncensored clips online display the young men merrily shouting insults
at the obedient women while ordering them to perform orally and as
lesbians while the naked group of six cavort.

"Licky, licky, you slit eye," one of the men says, convincing a young
woman to approach another female who is sprawled on the bed.
