The Worth of a Boy

what would you say is the worth of a boy;
in sin and sorrow, in service and joy;
so much good and bad wrapped up in each life;
to build up and serve or tear down in strife.

A mine of diamonds, a bomb to destroy ?
Depends entirely on who gets the boy?
The devil, the world, and flesh make their bid:
But what will your church do to win this “kid?” 

Some men have hobbies in which they invest
Much time and money with real zeal and zest.
But those who fathom life’s great thrills and joys
Major on making real men out of boys.

Southeren Baptist Missionary to Mexico

Luka Modric's comments on Lionel Messi after Croatia 3-0 Argetina were spot on

-
Image
Many football fans believed that if Lionel Messi was to lead Argentina to World Cup glory this summer, there could be no argument that he is the greatest player of all time. However, the chances of that happening now look incredibly slim. Messi’s missed penalty resulted in Argentina drawing their opening match against Iceland before they were thrashed 3-0 by Croatia in their second game. During their damaging loss, Messi was anonymous and barely touched the ball. His frustrations and stress could be seen throughout the 90 minutes as he saw his dream slipping away slowly. You couldn’t help but feel sorry for the five-time Ballon d’Or winner. And even Croatian players appeared to feel a bit sorry after the match. Real Madrid midfielder - and Man of the Match on the night - Luka Modric has a few words for his rival. “Messi is an incredible player,” Modric said. “But he can’t do everything alone. In football you need help and it can’t be done alone.” He’s spot on. Despite Messi’...

David Beckham has thrown his weight behind North America's bid to host the 2026 World Cup as the vote looms, saying the fans' passion for football would make the event "very special".

A court in California has heard the 911 call made by a 17-year-old to tell police about the years of abuse she and her 12 siblings allegedly suffered at the hands of their parents. In the call the girl tells the dispatcher to "help my sisters" as she gives details of their squalid house with a suffocating stench, where they were shackled to beds and choked by their parents. The children's parents David and Louise Turpin have pleaded not guilty to torture, child abuse and other charges.
