IT IS NEVER TOO LATE Yesterday, on my way home from work, I stopped to buy fuel. While the attendant was filling my tank, I allowed my eyes to roam randomly around the petrol station and then they landed on a police van. I observed a man in plain clothes cleaning and wiping down the dust and dirt from the

WHEN GOD IS WITH YOU So much is happening in the world right now. Each day the news is filled with stories of wars and rumours of war. People are afraid. The coronavirus pandemic rages on and some people fear so much that it is only a matter of time before they become a statistic of COVID 19. This need

GOD IS LOVE Brick and mortar and on line stores are awash with sales of just about anything, in celebration of the phenomenon that is valentine’s day. There are all kinds of promos and offers loading; buy two get one free; buy one get one free or buy one get one half price. Everything on offer, if purchased, must be

A LITTLE EXTRA EFFORT A few days ago, I was cleaning a wash hand basin in my home. I had noticed a particular “stubborn” black dot a while back and any time I scrubbed, it never faded away. I just thought “what is wrong with this thing?” And before I knew it, I started scrubbing furiously at it. To

WHO DO YOU DEPEND ON? I was suddenly reminded of the tax forms we fill and the question that asks “Number of dependants”?

GOD’S WAY IS THE BEST WAY It’s the Christmas holiday season and here in Lagos, Nigeria it’s all chock -a- block!  Roads are so busy and the traffic is endless.
