This is the time of year my mailbox is full of predictions for next year, summaries and analysis of the past year, and various ideas on how to have a better body, future, job, or whatever in 2015. Maybe we’ll share some of these in upcoming editions. But a few to pray about:
Vision of Humanity just published its 2014 Global Terrorism Index.
Which countries give the most? The answer might surprise you. See Charities Aid Foundation’s World Giving Index 2014.
Every five years the people of Nepal (and many from the borderlands of India) perform a ritual that they hope will bring them good luck in days to come. Last Friday, what is believed to be the world’s largest animal sacrifice ceremony began. As you read about this tradition, pray for the people who participate.
