(CNN) - Nigerian authorities specified Friday that a total of 276 schoolgirls were taken last month by militants from a boarding school, but 53 of them escaped, leaving 223 still in the hands of their captors, police said.
We see all around the world how criminality is eventually growing. This increase leads us to remember that we are living the last days. Only in God's presence we are safe and confident to have eternal life.

Why you should care
As Israel and Palestine peace talks halt, these men want Muslims and Jews to remember that sometimes your most bitter enemy can become your most faithful friend.
It was distrust at first sight for Rabbi Marc Schneier and Imam Shamsi Ali when they met in Manhattan in 2005.
They were both being interviewed by CBS about Pope John Paul II’s interfaith outreach, following his death. They looked at each other, shook hands and felt mutually uncomfortable in their interactions.
“I’d grown up in an environment as an Orthodox Jew where Muslims were the enemy, Muslims were to be denomized, Muslims were not to be trusted,” says Schneier, 55. “I clearly brought to the table many biases, prejudices, prejudgments.”
It's nice how they both share many moments together, but the problem is that they'll be constantly trying to change each others' perspective about their religious worldview.

Jin Woo-hyuk had a pimple on his forehead. He was skinny and wore braces.
When divers found the teenager's body in the submerged ship, he was wearing a pair of jeans and a light green hoodie.
The simple, human details about Woo-hyuk are noted on a whiteboard, which catalogues descriptions of the bodies recovered from the sunken ferry Sewol.
Some of the victims, still unidentified, are known just by a number.
The tragic event that occured in South Korea, has been known world-wide. It's sad to read the stories of these students that died in the ferry. Sometimes I wonder if they received Christ as their Saviour. Our job is to share His good news with everyone, since we don't know when they might die.
2014 promises a number of epic tales from the Bible, the latest being "Noah," starring Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly (out March 28). But not everyone is happy with the depictions in faith-based films. While "Noah" makes clear it's merely "inspired by" the Biblical story, that hasn't stopped the outpouring of concern and anger from those sensitive to the source material. Even before "Noah" hit theaters, it was banned in several Middle Eastern countries for contradicting the teachings of Islam with its portrayal of a prophet.
Before having seing the movie, we can't assume what the movie us trying to portray; therefore, I can't comment since I haven't seen it yet. It can't be absolutely as the Bible story, I'm sure it has some slight differences but as long as they don't add something the Bible doesn't say, there's not problem.
A new classified intelligence assessment concludes it is more likely than previously thought that Russian forces will enter eastern Ukraine, CNN has learned.Two administration officials described the assessment but declined to be identified due to the sensitive nature of the information.The officials emphasized that nothing is certain, but there have been several worrying signs in the past three to four days.“This has shifted our thinking that the likelihood of a further Russian incursion is more probable than it was previously thought to be,” one official said.The buildup is seen to be reminiscent of Moscow’s military moves before it went into Chechnya and Georgia in both numbers of units and their capabilities.U.S. military and intelligence officials have briefed Congress on the assessment.
Maybe this problem seems small, but if it continues developing it can turn into a Civil War, but we should pray for that not to happen. Russia is seriously concidering invading Ukraine; therefore, they should be alert for any hint of invasion.
