Some of my "online with God" training booklets are on their way to Albania right now to help people learn to pray. That´s cool! Makes me happy to see how blessing is going from my life to the lives of others and from my nation to theirs.

It looks like the world is going to war....or some people / nations of the world...but somehow we happen to live in a "closed system" called planet earth where something someone is doing is affecting everyone.
However on a local scale we are pretty encouraged. In Berlin on May 1 there are violent demonstrations every year (a bit like a small scale version of demonstrations at the World Trade summit)...with hundreds of people injured and Millions of Euro of damage. A number of christians have started to pray that this year May 1 would be peaceful. In February the main group "sponsoring" the violence was suddenly dissolved and now the police reports that they can not find and traces that the other groups are mobilizing for "war against the police" ....so we keep praying that for the first time in decades we will not have war this year in our city....and hopefully neither in our world.

Berlin Statistics show that Berlin had 17,8 % unemployed people. That is the highest rate since 1945! That is 1/5 of every person who can and wants to work not being able to find a job. In this statistic the people who live on welfare or who are self-employed but struggle to survive are not counted. The high Februar numbers are partly due to the extreme coldness of the month affekting the construction industry. But mostly they are due to the fact of the overall sickness of German and especially Berlin economy. Everybody still thinks the other person should give up rights and safe money and employers and trade unions still fight stupid battles, hoping to keep there share. But it looks as if we all have to give up priveleges if we are going to cope with the situation.
