THE TIME TO MOVE FORWARD “I stood rooted to the spot with fear” “I stood transfixed with fear” “I stood paralysed by fear” All the above are expressions in the English language that connote great fear, shock or surprise. Emotions that make one temporarily unable to move. Yet there is a time and a place when we must move regardless

A “BUFFET” OF NAMES Having worked in hospitality for a while, setting up buffets is always exciting because it is an opportunity to showcase a lot of items on the menu that guests do not know about. It is also a very colourful affair especially at the salad bar or at the vegetable medleys. A buffet is defined as a

THE EVIL THAT IS DISOBEDIENCE. As powerful as “obedience” is, so is disobedience; but in a very negative and destructive way.

KEEP HEAVEN IN VIEW A few years ago while talking with a friend I expressed concern about how the world was slowly but surely getting worse. And so I said, let Jesus come now, enough already! How much more evil, injustice, decadence and immorality can we possibly take? And she said “Jesus should not come yet o! I am not

DO NOT LET THEM STUMBLE What is it with helicopters lately? I had planned my article around a helicopter story before the news of the helicopter crash that killed Kobe Bryant and other passengers hit the airwaves. May the souls of the departed rest in peace and I pray that their families will be comforted and know the peace of
