As I celebrated Mom's birthday this year (April 7), I wanted to build about one of her principles. It's not something she has necessarily theorized, but it's one of the virtues she's exuded that I have observed for a long time. When she got widowed in 2009, most of my pain was seeing her alone … Continue reading Blowing Things Out of Proportion
Still, in the same spirit of Resurrection weekend, I have yet another revelation. I was reading a book in my room this evening, and both the open window and indoor bulb lit the cream pages from different angles. Now, I despised the dim light from the bulb, to the point that I was tempted to … Continue reading Two Lights | You Matter!
I'm staring down at the abodes of Jerusalem. I know I'm meant to be at war but I need a break. Found bored now, let me take a stroll on the palace roof. The sky is sunny—the breeze cool, but it seems like it is not the same metres below on a snugly roof... First … Continue reading A Root Cause of Evil
Whilst watching the world cup, I was caused to go back to the beginning of all languages at the tower of Babel. I asked God why He gave us many languages. If you are familiar with the story, you'll notice that God had blessed the then existing men (Noah and his family) to multiply and … Continue reading Purposeless Pursuits
We've all been there: in exam halls, at wedding receptions, and several other events that can't be mentioned and wondered why we didn't read that topic, or why a specific thing went wrong! Years ago, God taught me a secret to nullifying remorse (commonly known as regret). This was during high school when every time … Continue reading The Antidote to Remorse
"Take it one day at a time" will not always be a firm statement. Once in a while, you'll have to glance into your future, and the vision you'll behold will never be unseen. As I write this (on 21st October 2022), I'm thinking about a frightening leap I'm about to take. I'm to join … Continue reading Live From the Future
While on a boda the other day, God showed me students in uniform returning from school, and He brought to remembrance a very interesting theory. In school — if you recall, depending on where you went — we all had to wear uniform. Be it you're from a rich family or an average income one. … Continue reading The Uniform of Life
So I have been studying this portion of scripture in Habakkuk, and I have only gained more appreciation for patience. It says: Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision [is] yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely … Continue reading The Purpose of Patience
The first time my memory properly recalls encountering Aunt Praxedes face to face was in 2015. Uncle Martin had just completed his house in Kakumiro, their ancestral home. We all had to travel to join the party. Mom told us to go greet Aunt Prax Martin (Third left)and her husband Uncle Steven. "Thank them for … Continue reading Seeds & Synergies 2 | Reaping Where We Sow
This past weekend has been power packed for staunch christian diehards in Kampala, Uganda. The popular song stars Pompi and Limoblaze were coming for a concert, arriving from Zambia and Nigeria respectively. There was a pre-show at Watoto Church the Friday before the concert. Now Watoto has a larger audience than its carrying capacity. By … Continue reading Before You Scrutinize …
I had wanted to name this article 'adulting', but that would not have brought out what I'd like us to learn today. For not every adult is mature, even if they are above 18. The word after all takes its origin from the word 'adoloscent'... On Saturday the 28th of May, I attended a glorious … Continue reading Maturity
I stay near the church I pray from on Sundays. This particular Sunday, I woke up 15 minutes to 8am. Service starts at 9am. I skedaddled. I had to do the dishes, and trust me, I was very very fast! Notwithstanding, I passed by the sitting room clock at home. It displayed the time as … Continue reading The Clock in the Sitting Room
Do you remember, when we held hands and prayed … believing for that child? Do you remember, when you fasted and prayed, and fasted and prayed again, believing for that spouse ... and that job? Do you remember, when you longed for that house, for that 72-inch screen, for that Mercedes Benz? You envied your … Continue reading Do not Lose the Wonder!
Psalms 22:4-5 Our fathers trusted in You; They trusted, and You delivered them. They cried to You, and were delivered; They trusted in You, and were not ashamed. Have you ever received a word from God? And you reached a point in life where everything happening seems not to be in tandem with what He … Continue reading He will not bring you to shame
I've just attended a cousin's wedding meeting where I was asked to give a concluding prayer. I shied away. They insisted. I began to pray. I declared Deuteronomy 28 starting, then I went on to speak into the big day. I summarized all that I could, only for my extended family to open their eyes … Continue reading Time Folds
