Story - Religious Societies Go Mobile

First it was a Muslim phone, then now it's a Christian SMS Bible.

The new Muslim phone in the market could actually set reminders for prayer times to even point in the direction of Mecca with some GPS system. But the other groups n the region is not slacking. Some member of the Bible Society in Australia had translated all the verses in the Bible to SMS format and lingo so that people could send some little encouragements to their loved ones.

The Gavster strikes a humble pose at the Alice Griffith housing development. If you love Arnie, throw a 70's House Party -- because you really want to require parental notification for abortions.

Filial piety is not a duty, it is not a must.

This post is me against a conventional teaching: My mother got angry with me one day (quite some time ago). And when she got angry, she ran away from home for a day.
