The Messengers
“Writers are made, not born.” I heard that many times. While this has an element of truth to it, it doesn’t mean it is undebatable. Some writers need to put in extra effort to get to the limelight, and some have no difficulty with structuring their words because they have the natural flows. Such distinctionsContinue reading “The Messengers”
Love in Capital “?”
They say not everyone will like you or tolerate your personality. They say some will dislike you without any tangible reasons. Finally, they say genuine love; indeed, it is difficult to find. Well, I agree to some, but I will avoid acknowledging the latter because my understanding of love is a bit different. My honestContinue reading “Love in Capital “?””

The People Concerned (3)
Solitude is one fastest killer of the older people. While being alone can sometimes be a benefit to one’s health, it is unsafe for the elderly. Pappy, my neighbour, is a father and a widower in his early 90s and he lives alone. It was his choice. He has children, and then his two housekeepersContinue reading “The People Concerned (3)”
The Leper & the Chinese
The lepers stayed outside the gate because no one wanted them. In like manner, the Chinese are being stigmatised because everyone thinks they are responsible for the Coronavirus.

The People Concerned (2)
Leaving one’s family and friends to go away to another country does not come easily. A migrant lost part of his or her identity the day they said goodbye to their loved ones and move on to a new country. It does not matter whether they are people of colour or white. Everything changes theContinue reading “The People Concerned (2)”
The People Concerned (1)
Any references to this verse are often attributed to companionship between a man and a woman. However, this biblical verse extends beyond this and applies to any discussion about the plague affecting many people. This plague is called LONELINESS. It is a silent killer that attack the invisible people. I called them invisible because theyContinue reading “The People Concerned (1)”

However, to some people, Bryant was a rapist, and not onlyContinue reading “Go With God”
My Way is My Way
In some situations, people don’t like those who take pleasure in having their ways, and there is a good reason for this. When Cain killed his brother, he did it out of jealousy. His sacrifice was not accepted. God found fault with many of his attitudes, but, Cain probably saw no reasons why he isContinue reading “My Way is My Way”
His Praise Richly Deserves

Unreasonable Parent
Throughout his lifetime, his father has been a pain and the cause of his death. Jonathan did not deserve to die when it happened. If Saul were not standing in his way, Jonathan would have lived. The truth is, many people do not deserve to be parents, but they don’t want to accept this reality.Continue reading “Unreasonable Parent”
God at the Deathbed
It bothers me when people say they do not believe God exists or believe in Him. So real everyone has the rights to his or her personal beliefs; after all, our world is about exercising one’s fundamental human rights. However, that supposedly ‘rights’ is not applicable where the fundamental principles of spirituality are concerned, mostContinue reading “God at the Deathbed”
The Bittersweet Taste of Indecency
The Offering Basket
Have you ever heard of people stealing church’s offerings or breaking into cathedrals to go away with religious relics? Late last year, some folks broke into the cathedral in d’Oloron-Sainte-Marie , a town in the department of Pyrénées-Atlantiques, in southwest France.
