For the Grace of God

Father, thank You for making me alive in Christ! I declare that Jesus is my Lord and Saviour, and because He died for me, I can live the abundant life here on earth. Help me stay focused on You this day & live with the enthusiasm that comes from knowing You in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Yes, Yes, Yes

Waka Waka!


Speaking at the 2010 soccer World Cup education summit in Pretoria yesterday, President Jacob Zuma said: "What an experience it has been for us as a country.

"Africa will never be the same again after this. We should now be judged on merit. We have proved once and for all that we can organise events of any kind," he said.

"We succeeded in hosting the World Cup without glitches because of the work done by the structures put in place and the soccer family of this country. They did a wonderful job."

Fifa president Sepp Blatter agreed: "I have spent seven weeks in this country and in the name of the footballing community may I take this opportunity to express our gratitude to the people of South Africa for a job well done in its organising abilities.

"South Africa has proved to the world that it is able to organise an event of this nature. And the trust that Fifa had put in this country has been answered with a big, big success."

Blatter said that, during the tournament, more than 18000 international journalists had been writing, blogging and broadcasting about South Africa's ability to host a good World Cup.

But commentators have said that now that the country has proved what it can do, it must act in the same determined way to deliver services to its people.

Balsamic comes from the Italian word for "curative," because the vinegar is traditionally thought to aid digestion. (A few sips of balsamic vinegar are sometimes taken after a meal, as a digestif.)
"Balsamic vinegar is like no other vinegar you have ever tasted. At its best it is aromatic, syrupy, dense, dark and creamy like honey; concentrated, mellow and slightly sweet with a sharp roundness that only hints of vinegar." (August 1985)
