When you make that decision to go forward, one of the things that is set to thwart you is when the rain falls. When the rain falls, perhaps you should wait until it abates. When the rain falls there’s every chance that you’re going to get soaked and who really wants that. When the rain […]
Read More Walk On Through The RainWhen you make a decision to head for particular destination, obstruction and resistance is inevitable. You take one step forward and someone questions why are you taking that step. You take another and people are now criticising you for a series of steps that just appear odd. Wherever you don’t answer a question convincingly, they […]
Read More Walk On Through The WindYou ever listened to the song of the bird? It’s remarkable sometimes listening to them. Different times of the day, different times in the year. Their method of expression. Sometimes there’s something liberating their song. There’s something about their song that says that there’s no need to worry. You ever wondered if that song was […]
Read More The Sweet Silver Song of a LarkIt was difficult to see him endure suffering for so long. This once strong and vibrant man, now brought low by age and debilitating disease. Very tough to watch him go through it. At times I felt it was humiliating and there were those who had been used to seeing him bouncing along being helpful […]

Read More Hold Your Head Up HighIn my childhood days it became even a point of principle to avoid conflict and confrontation. Sure, there were sibling altercations, but that was inevitable when you look at my siblings. Other than that, I didn’t like the thought of a confronation and the concept of engaging in conflict was terrifying. I avoided it diligently. […]
Read More When You Walk Through A StormHe had served his master for many years. Their relationship was distinct in the sense that the master treated him like a son. He was looked after very well and never mistreated. Indeed where others around him used to be considered sub-human, his master highly esteemed his welfare and that of his family. The master […]
Read More A Tale of a Devoted ServantI like real testimonies. Some of my favourites are ones that say that before they met Jesus their lives were fine and then when they met Jesus it was all turned upside down. I like the ones that talk about how before they didn’t have that many issues in certain relationships, but as soon as […]
