In everything the Bible says we are to model our life as Jesus. But one question that many have not asked is, did Jesus speak in Tongues as all the Apostles were? When Apostle Paul told the Corinthian Church, "Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ." (1 Cor 11:1). Does his exhortation includes speaking in Tongues?

This revelatory article will give you an answer for this intriguing question.

This report on carnival ride accidents will be amusing to you to say the least. I did not expect this study on accidents to come out like it did. I was totally un-aware of the statistics that unfolded. These statistics were from the year 2007 on carnival ride accidents and their severity. It covers how many accidents occurred and how many deaths that came from these carnival ride accidents.
