Touching: Dying 5-Year-Old Girl Chooses 'Heaven Over Hospital'

At five years old, Julianna Snow suffering from an incurable disease,  degenerative neuromuscular disease called Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT), which has had her in and out of hospitals for the past 18 months enduring "countless procedures" and spending "weeks at a time trying to breathe,"  made the strangest decision. Her mom, Michelle Moon, wrote in a post entitled "My Daughter Wants to Choose Heaven Over the Hospital" on The Mighty, a website for families struggling with disabilities, serious diseases and life and death issues

So earlier this year, her parents, Michelle Moon and Steve Snow, asked her what she wanted to do the next time she got seriously ill and needed to go to the hospital. Their daughter chose heaven, her mom, who also has a blog, wrote on the website.

"A few months after we started hospice, Julianna made it clear to us that she does not want to go to the hospital again," says Michelle. "Like so many kids who have had to face life-threatening illness, she is wise beyond her years – but she is still only 5 years old. "I do not think that she will survive another illness, especially without aggressive intervention," she wrote. "Julianna understands this, too. We have had some remarkable, uncomfortable, humbling conversations about heaven." Last month, it was this: Before these conversations, Michelle says she and Steve had planned to take Julianna to the hospital if she got sick again. But after hearing Julianna's wishes, they changed their minds. "She made it clear that she doesn't want to go through the hospital again," Michelle wrote. "So we had to let go of that plan because it was selfish."

Diana Scolaro, the nurse who took care of Julianna through three stays in the intensive care unit, also supports Steve and Michelle's decision.

"You have to know what it's like to hold down a child and hear them scream so you can stick a tube down their nose.

Opinion: Why Umana Umana May Lose the Rerun Election to PDP - by Philip Obin

Philip Obin in this piece, brings out important facts Umana Okon Umana must give serious consideration to if he doesn't want to lose the forthcoming Akwa Ibom rerun election.

I’m 100% APC – body and soul, and have continued to volunteer to contribute my quota to the ideals of the party and its sustainability, but after carefully personally investigating the current state of the politics of Akwa Ibom state, carrying out a survey, and hearing from a good number of Akwa Ibomites who believe the devil they know is better than the angel they haven’t met, following the judgement of the Akwa Ibom governorship election tribunal, calling for a rerun in 18 out of 31 local governments of the state, I make bold to say that if the Akwa Ibom Governorship election rerun holds today as it were, the PDP will win against the APC squarely, unless the narrative and permutations change, even if the election is completely cancelled and a fresh one conducted in all 31 LGAs, as being appealed by Umana Umana and the APC.

Pastor Chris Okotie accused Oritsejafor of False Prophecy

The Head Pastor of the Household of God Church, Reverend Chris Okotie has alleged that the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor made some false declarations about the 2015 elections.

While delivering his sermon at his church yesterday, Sunday, October 25, Nigerian televangelist and the pastor of the Household of God Church International Ministries, Chris Okotie, accused the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) of sharing false prophecies with former President, Goodluck Jonathan.
According to him, Oritsejafor used false prophecies to make Jonathan contest for the election, which he eventually lost to the incumbent President, Muhammadu Buhari.
"Pastor Oritsejafor deceived Jonathan with a false prophecy from God that he (Jonathan) would win the election convincingly. The man became convinced to contest after Oritsejafor had told him, using CAN’s name, that God had ordained him the winner of the 2015 presidential election.
While I continued to write and speak that Jonathan was not the man, those of them who knew the truth in what I was saying chose to keep quiet out of fear. I told CAN and PFN that Jonathan was not of God; that whosoever would win would be one that had built a tabernacle in the presence of God.

I told CAN and PFN that Jonathan did not belong to the House of David and that since he did not belong to the household, his winning would bring more sorrow to Nigeria." he said

Before a man says "I do"

Not all guys love sports, but when it comes to marriage, many of us unknowingly approach it with a sports mentality.

If there's one thing we've learned over the years—either from our jock days or watching too many movies that end with the winning punch, jump shot, or touchdown—it's that we need the support of a team to really succeed. And marriage is the ultimate team

It may sound trite to put it this way, but isn't the person you marry essentially your best possible teammate? I suppose it's unfair for me to speak for all men, but going off of the guys I know, I can say with confidence that most of us really do understand that sex alone isn't going to be the foundation of a lasting relationship. (Although it's pretty great.) We understand that there needs to be other layers—and we want those layers. I'd even venture to say that more than a romance, we want to meet a person who can intuit what we're thinking, who can anticipate our moves (both good and bad), who supports us, shares our goals, and can help us achieve them. Don't women want the same thing? In the end, we are all looking for "our person"—or, if we're going with my admittedly-predictable sports analogy, "our teammate."
