It’s not every time that you walk through the doors of a Church, expecting to hear a sermon on taxation. The odds are really stacked against that occurrence. We expect the Church to dish out sermons on moral instruction (and its siblings), but, who said talking about taxation is not a form of moral instruction. Continue reading “Church People and Tax”

My 2014
Happy New Year!
It’s 2015, fresh, a clean slate, never experienced before. Whether you entered the New Year in a religious mode, or at home sleeping, in a bar emptying bottles, in a park (or street) shooting or watching fireworks, or anything else, welcome to 2015.
Going! Going!! 2014!!!
Seasons come, and seasons go. A little while ago, we were screaming “Happy New Year”, basking in the euphoria of a recently introduced year known as 2014. It’s already 365 days since fireworks illuminated the night sky in various countries, heralding the arrival of the Year 2014. Continue reading “Going! Going!! 2014!!!”
Who Deserves What?
We are all conceived in the same way. Sperm penetrates egg—in the darkness of the fallopian tube or in a brightly lit laboratory. A new life comes into existence.

Intellectuals Needed!
I’m supposed to post a recap of the lessons gained in Church yesterday. However, due to external cluelessness-induced reasons, that post would come later. Continue reading “Intellectuals Needed!”
Please Give Me Light!!!
“Let there be light”…and there was darkness.
They say, “There’s no place like home”. After all, it’s “home, sweet home”. In the past couple of days, I’ve had enough time to ponder about the relative incorrectness of that statement. Continue reading “Please Give Me Light!!!”
Innocent Mistake or Incompetence?
Primary and secondary school was about competition. We wanted to personalize the first position in class, and we became unhappy whenever anyone beat us to the prize. Move forward a couple of years; life in the university was very different.
A Time for Thanksgiving
In Church yesterday, the sermon was on “Thanksgiving”. I have listened to quite a number of gratitude-themed messages, but I could not help but think about the pastor’s words. One thing I have learnt and that fascinates me about God’s Word, is its ability to appear fresh every time. Continue reading “A Time for Thanksgiving”
