*DID YOU KNOW?*
* The original FIFA World Cup Jules Rimet Trophy was stolen in London in 1966 and found a week later by a dog named Pickles in a bush. It was awarded permanently to Brazil in 1970 after their third win – then stolen again in Rio de Janeiro in 1983 and is believed to have been melted down by thieves.
* The two most important commandments Jesus taught were to love God wholeheartedly, and to love your neighbor as yourself.
