We often think that our days will last forever, that we will be the ones at the helm of our families, organizations, churches and society. One day, however, this may come to a quick end! There is no such thing as forever and only time, chance and experience happens to them all to quote from the good o’l book. Now that you are the one…
Life's a Safari
Maisha ni safariI got home yesterday in the evening, tired, hungry and recovering from a few long days at the office….. Got home, changed clothes and set on my comfortable couch just to get some breath and to relax. And relax I did, as I sat there in deep thought and meditation- with my eyes fixed on a framed picture of the Savior my Lord, Jesus Christ,…
Each and every one of us gets so busy in our lives with mundane, routine and petty worldly things that we often don’t fully live our lives the way we ought and put priorities and proper perspectives into our ‘frame of reference’ as psychologists are often bound to say.

We have a contract with our landlord that we seek to honour every month by paying our dues, we have a contract with…
It has been a rough week, I must admit and I have made many mistakes this week at work. It happen even to the best of us- we start to scratch our heads, pull out our hairs, squint, and start to imagine living a different life, living in a different country, working for a different company and being married to or in a relationship with…
This year (2017) is moving quite fast and I can hardly keep up with it so can you? I hope that each one of us are enjoying the journey of life and not just going through the motions as some of us occasionally do! We are living in the ‘fullness of time’, which are clearly felt in the field of sports, medicine, entertainment, religion and technology. There…
Times are quickly changing in the workplaces the world over. Organizations are seeking to revamp their profit margins by cost cutting and this means employing technology and laying off workers at that. This trend continues to roll forth as the world seeks to become a global village. Already, you can now work at the comfort of your home without reporting to the workplace due to…
