The Jerusalem Flag Unfurled Larger than Ever

A man blows a Shofar (rams horn) as the largest flag in the world, the Jerusalem Flag (also known as the Coat of Arms for the Monarchy and the Country), recognized by Guinness World Records, is being unfurled at the Teddy Football Stadium in Jerusalem on 17 September 2009.

The gigantic flag, with the largest emblem of a lion ever sewed, measures 44,404 square meters (more than 4.3 hectares), was stamped by Guinness World Records on 11 April 2009, when first unfurled in the Philippines.

This unique project was the initiative of Mrs. Grace Galindez Gupana, a 48-year-old Filipino businesswoman and Founder-President of Hallelujah Kingdom of Jerusalem Foundation (HKJF).

I wish to share my gratitude to Mrs. Gupana and her foundation, for such a magnificent accomplishment; I was so very happy to see it. As for us as a people, we have came along ways.-HRM Deborah

Looking in a Mirror

One should never do anything that would cause them to be so ashamed, that they can not even look at their own reflection in a mirror nor wish to cause harm to other‘s, in this shame.

For that which caused the shame in the first place, can always be amended and make the heart feel whole again; as one just needs to bring to an end that which caused the sorrow to began with.

For they who do good in this life never has to worry, for their reflection shall be filled with happiness.-
