Top 10 fighter jets

There are many fighter jets brand that powerful countries has produced so but many people still wonder which is the fastest and powerful one. Many wars happened recently that make the demand of faster air travel in the war and commercial purposes. Many advance technology countries make the maximized speed of jets to compete with each other and arrive at their destinations in record time. Some of these planes are not in operation now, but their speeds are still unmatched. Faster speed means get faster customers. Here are the top 10 fastest Jets for 2017.

A Course in Miracles Makes Decision Making Easy

Enjoy the following excerpt from a transcribed talk given by A Course in Miracles teacher David Hoffmeister. I’m looking at all the flags of the different religions and spiritualities in the back of the room. You might wonder, Which path is it I should take? It does seem to be a pretty significant decision, right? No! Jesus says in the introduction to A Course in Miracles, “This is a required course”. He’s really meaning forgiveness is required. It’s not meaning that you have to study A Course in Miracles or else. He’s just saying forgiveness is a required course. It is a self-study course, not a religion. You will have to forgive at some point or another. He also says, “Free will does not mean that you can establish the curriculum. It only means that you can decide what you want to take at a given time”. Later on in the teacher’s manual, he even adds more to it. You can’t even decide the form. Well, that’s great! Now the curriculum is required, I have to forgive i...
