Some of the most dramatic accounts of Christ’s ministry are found in the eighth chapter of Luke’s writings. It is here that we find the much quoted parable of the sower, then we read about the waves being calmed, then we meet the demon-possessed man who gets delivered (and the pigs who get demon-possessed in return). And […]
Read more "Stick With It"Living near a cemetery, as I did for years, meant much opportunity to ponder the terminal nature of life. But it’s often a fleeting thought, as you would give an uncertain future event or a celestial idea, far removed from present day. For many of us, the reality of death doesn’t quite hit us – not even […]
Read more "We Will Live Forever"I was happily cruising along this bumpy road, overtaking an overloaded pickup, and feeling very proud about the performance of my engine up the hill. I felt more than saw the red coming up on my right side. When the car drew level, she slowed down just long enough to give me an irritated look […]
Read more "The Red Polo"One day, I will write about powerful women. I will write about Rosa That woman who gave birth to me Who broke her back in a muhindi factory To make ends meet for her brood of five That God-fearing woman Who prayed life-changing prayers Whose legacy is God-loving children That educated woman Who did everything […]
Read more "I Could Write Books"Some time ago, I had the privilege of hanging out with a group of ‘bone merchants’ in the heart of Kibera. These four young men were hustling like all of us do, but they stood out to me because of their chosen trade – bones. They’d spend their day scouring the city (mostly garbage dumps) for all […]
Read more "The Restoration Guy"It’s the biggest thing to come out of the sports world in recent days. Even if you have no interest in football, Leicester winning the Premier League is exactly the kind of improbable story that happens about once in a lifetime. In fact, we’re all Leicester fans now. With blue jerseys and all. Everyone loves a good story. […]
Read more "5000 to 1"I had to go to the hospital recently, because, like every man ever, my wife insisted. We should really thank God for wives. Or maybe hospitals and doctors and all the non-doctors that work there should. Without wives, no man would ever see those corridors. There’s something to be resisted about having to go tell […]
Read more "It’s My Life"I am an Arsenal fan. Well, maybe more of a supporter. I am yet to reach the dizzying heights of fanaticism that lead perfectly sane men to bet away their houses (and even wives!) on the outcome of a ball-chasing encounter thousands of miles from them. That said, my support for the Gunners is just as real […]
Read more "Today, We Won"So, a little while ago I penned a post mainly for men looking to find their mate, and it’s only fair that a mirror sequel follows. By public demand and all that. I must confess that I’m a traditionalist when it comes to these things, and so I strongly believe it is the man’s job […]
Read more "Ok, Let’s Deal With Adam"I haven’t been married long enough to write about marriage, but having at least dispensed with the business of finding, maybe I can say a thing or two about that. I’m also reading through Genesis again and it really is my favorite book for finding the answer to the how to know question, and the stories of Adam, […]
