All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching. ( 2 Timothy 3:16 )

If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look somethinglike the following: ;
There would be:
• 57 Asians
• 21 Europeans
• 14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south
• 8 Africans
• 52 would be female
• 48 would be male
• 70 would be non-white
• 30 would be white
• 70 would be non-Christian
• 30 would be Christian
• 89 would be heterosexual
• 11 would be homosexual
• 6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth and all 6would be from the United States.
• 80 would live in substandard housing
• 70 would be unable to read
• 50 would suffer from malnutrition
• 1 would be near death; 1 would be near birth
• 1 (yes, only 1) would have a college education
• 1 would own a computer
• When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, theneed for acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent. The following is also something to ponder...
• If you woke up this morning with more health than illness...you aremore blessed than the million who will not survive this week. If you have neverexperienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or thepangs of starvation...
• You are ahead of 500 million people in the world.
• If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment,arrest, torture or death...
• You are more blessed than three billion people in the world.
• If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roofoverhead and a place to sleep..
. • You are richer than 75% of this world.
• If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in adish some place...
• You are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.
• If your parents are still alive and still married ..
. • You are very rare, even in the United States and Canada.
• If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing inthat someone was thinking of you, and further more, you are more blessed than over twobillion people in the world that can not read at all. Someone once said: What goes around comes around. Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching. Sing like nobody's listening. Live like it's Heaven on Earth.
