WATCH THE TIME

-
The events that happened on 6th March 1884, 6th March 1957; 24th February 1966; 31st December 1981; 9th May 2001, 11th September 2001; 3rd June 2015 among others are inked on the slate of time.
Every event or happening in every day occurs within time.
Similar recurring events happen with time. But none escapes the close watch of God the Creator.
Through all ages, time has kept with us.
There is time for everything under the Sun.
There is time to be born and there is time to die.
There's time to enter and there's time to exit.
There is time to laugh and make merry, and there is time to weep and mourn.
There's time to wake up and there is time sleep or rest.
There is time to plant and there's time to harvest.
There are times we become sick, tired and bored, and there are times we become elated, happy and very delighted.
As we embrace the morning glory some hours ago, another Friday evening too is here again.
There is no certainty that we will all be at our various places or spot next year, around the same time. 
There is no hundred percent assurance that we can maintain our various positions forever.
It is sad how we sometimes seem to trust in our wealth, and go every length to protect or preserve our positions, forgetting that we would soon vacate those positions.
Sometimes in our strive to attain power, authority and recognition, we don't fully assess the essential favour of time on us. And even  if we are blessed to be aware of it, we sometimes live in self denial and still want to do everything, forgetting that we have a stage called retirement or rest.
Some people even double in reducing their ages just to always be young and keep their positions.
Though the concept of time is valuable, the adage that time waits for no one is so true.
Time is indeed running, so if you have anything to do, do it now.
Prepare for everyday and meet it squarely and please never forget to watch the tide and tale of time.
Observe the trends of time, listen to its rhythms, make mistakes, learn from others and make amends; embrace humility, reform and authentic change, forgive quickly.
At all times be at peace with yourself, your neighbour and your God.
And let nothing stop you from enjoying every moment of the little time we have, even as we pray the Lord to help us number our days on earth.
Be blessed

In the 2023 Class

-

With Thanksgiving we crawled to crossover to this year. We entered the class of 2023 with renewed expectations, We joined the class with hope and resolve to inch higher. We stretched our yearnings in our white gear with glee, At the permission to exercise the gift of life in 2023. With the epiphany of the inceptions, We had the baptism of some pleasant unpleasant news. There were some unexpected expected goodbyes. There were economic downturns that touched our smiles. All in the process of the 2023 class. With some miracles here and there, We trekked the evidential path of experience of liveliness. We learned lessons through our encounters and engagements. There were low-high or high-low important rewarding moments. All in the vicinity of the 2023 class. With the melting pot of people, culture, influence, power, We remember the flooding that overwhelmed our comfort. We recall the vulnerable tears and the solidarity of our people, All in the memorable 2 023

Honouring the Elderly

In the library of living legends your name is recorded. In the library of borrowed hearts, our connections still live. In the library of our common history, a society of experiences still breathes. In this library of hope, are shelves of lives that still thrives. In this library of human resources are many with miles of smiles, Entrusted with a priceless collection of ancient folklore. In this library of pages are those with ages who guide us through the reality of this perilous-fun loving matrix of life. In this library of changing scenes of adventures are memories of moments worth keeping. In the present library of our future are the pillars and linkages of our common heritage buried in our bloodlines of our ancestry. This is why it's proper to revere the elderly in our society. This is why it's vital to honour and celebrate their contributions. This is why it's necessary to listen, learn and leverage our connections with the elderly and become better. Greetin

A Blessed End of 2023

Several years ago, I went to town not to crossover or watch the might of the last day's night but to feel the air of the last day. It was somewhat noisy, phony, and funny but I just didn't like the depth of creativity in the way Christians were using to cash in on the last day of the calendar. Today is D-Day or call it the mother of all nights or the Climax of all the overs: in Crossover, Climb over, Crawl over, Jump over, Scale over, Scream or Shout over, Sprint over, Run over, Pray or Push over, Watch or Walk over, Take over, Limp over, Jet over, Dive over, Lift over etcetera. It's not just enough to do the watch night and the so-called crossing-overs but to soberly reflect on our lives, and our attitudes in the past 365 days. We need to interrogate our efforts, our Care, our thoughts, and our actions or inactions so that we will individually and collectively access ourselves. Even in our reviews, overviews, and counterviews of our efforts in 2015 we can&
