Social Networks Don't Waste Time, People Do. | WebProNews

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 10:27:07 -0800

Agreeing with the author that we should not blame social networks for our failure to be more responsible with our time.

Becky Straw, director of Charity Water Project and photographer Esther Havens team up to share a compelling story of how clean water has impacted on the life of women in Uganda and in the words of one woman, I am beautiful again.

Another theory being proposed by a Biblical scholar on Creation provides new evidence on how to interpret Genesis 1:1 and its implications for God as Creator.
