WHY ACCOUNTABILITY IS AN INSURANCE POLICY FOR MARRIAGE

A dear son brought a young lady whom he wanted to marry. It was a single visit where I was to interact with the young lady. We had a great time talking. I asked questions, and she also asked hers.

DEAR PARENTS, WHAT ARE YOU PASSING ON?

My first time away from home was when I got admitted to a State University in my mid-teen years. One day, I fell ill. Unfortunately, I was the only one around in my flat.

CONQUERING DISTRACTION (4): FROM HIGHFLIER TO AVERAGE

As a secondary (high) school student, the session began with some amazing decisions. I would have new notes, a blue or black pen accompanied by a red one, and a ruler. The goal was to have a neat and complete note. Who was like me?  It always started well. I would write the date in the top left corner. I […]

CONQUERING DISTRACTION (3): DISTRACTION BEGINS WITH ATTRACTION

The first time I fell in love, I had some unforgettable moments. I had fallen head over heels. It became so bad that if I was heading to pray and the babe requested a meet-up, I would postpone my prayer time to see her. It was becoming a distraction. One day, while I was praying, I heard the Lord instruct […]
