God does, indeed, want us to be sincere about what we do. A common dictionary definition of sincere is "free from pretense or … Continue reading When Being Honest and Sincere is a Bad Thing
It hit me when I was already at my doorstep. I had left my house keys at the office. This has never happened before, perhaps it was because I was having a bad day. I couldn't imagine going all the way back to the city center. It was 6 pm -- the traffic will be … Continue reading Home …
I've been thinking about stories, and why they are such effective, timeless modes of communication. Children learn best through stories. So do adults. The best writers are storytellers. Stories just have a way of gripping our attention because they invade our imagination. Stories enter the minds of their hearers unannounced and take a seat on … Continue reading The Truth About The Truth

Continued from Part 1... EDNA :: The cool breeze blows away the last of light... I look around and he is nowhere in sight... I wasn't ready for this. I wasn't prepared for him not showing up.

About four years ago, I got together with an online friend (Edna Thama) and randomly decided to write a poem cypher on a typical exchange between a boy and a girl. It started out as a comment thread, we were not sure where it would lead. But the end product was just as unanticipated as … Continue reading The Heart Duel (Duet): A Valentine’s Day Cypher – Part 1

I love to read. Actually, I think I am addicted to reading. I may be the only person who takes breaks from reading to read something else. On any given day, I am always in the middle of at least 2 books, apart from the Bible. I also love reading blog-posts, I think I read … Continue reading Blog Break (19 Jan 13)
Dear Child, I saw you trembling with fear. From my throne, I felt the hairs on the back of your neck rising. The cold sweat chilled my spine too, your troubled heart tripped my heart-beat too. I heard your cries, I noticed every shade of doubt in your eyes... So do not fear, for I … Continue reading Let Me Be Your Strength – A Letter From My Father
"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others." [Philippians 2:3-4] I've been thinking about Jesus as the embodiment, the example and the power behind true friendship. I've been thinking about the … Continue reading The Friend We Have in Jesus
