Paul came to worldwide attention with his accurate predictions in the 2010 World Cup.
In Paul the Octopus' two year career he has successfully predicted 11 out of 13 matches. Meaning he has an 85% success rate.

church hurt
church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.
Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.
