Invisible People

On the street I saw a small girl cold and shivering in a thin dress, with little hope of a decent meal. I became angry and said to God; “Why did you permit this? Why don’t you do something about it?” For a while God said nothing. That night he replied, quite suddenly: “I certainly did something about it. I made you.”               - Invisible People                                                                                   Another day, another discovery. What I found is a blog about "invisible people." Do you know them? Have you seen one? You may say, "How can I see them if they are in fact "invisible"?" What a silly question! "No, sir. No, Madam." The truth is, you have seen one. They are practically everywhere. They are people with stories to tell. They are people who are as precious as we are. They are people who exist. I'm not referring to a Hollow Man, a 2000 film that features Kevin Bacon in the title role as Sebastian Cain

2009 World's Most Powerful People

Forbes Magazine released yesterday their list of this year's Most Powerful People in the World.  67 made the list mainly Heads of State, businessmen, religious figures, media heads and one drug trafficker. They ranked the individuals who made it into this year's list based on influence over lots of other people, financial resources controlled by these individuals, whether they are powerful in multiple spheres, and if the individuals actively use their power. I am not surprised to see US President Barack Obama to be at the top. After all he's commander-in-chief of the world's premier military superpower and world's largest economy. Oh yes, he won the Nobel Peace Prize! Age 48. A Democrat Leader with great support of party mates who are the majorities in both the US Senate and House . Do you think former President George W. Bush will top the list if Forbes did the list last year or 5 years ago? Leading about 1.3 Billion Chinese, China's President Hu Jint
