THIS WILL HELP YOUR MARRIAGE

As we drove away from the place of the interview, I told Irewamiri that the singular most essential ingredient for a great marriage is training. A lot of people marry because they are in love but they end up managing crisis because they are not trained. It is a burden that we study in school for years to become a […]

The ones with major wounds were wheeled into the surgery room and treatment began. The bullet wound on my back was also stitched. When he […]

CLOSER TO THE MESS

I settled down to eat boiled plantain and herring fish sauce that evening. Danielle found her way to me- she wanted to share in my meal. Right after the first bite on plantain, she made it clear that she wanted fish. Unfortunately, the herring was quite bony and Danielle wanted it fast. As she chews one, she wanted the next. […]

MY SOLDIER ANTS ENCOUNTER

I was walking through a developing area in my locality- praying and praising as I walked. It was an untarred road. Then I spotted soldier ants just ahead of me.

COOKIES IN THE PACK

Danielle climbed the chair and kept pointing to the pack of cookies. I picked up the cookies so I could give her. Unfortunately, the pack was difficult to untie. The knot was difficult to loosen. I kept trying. She got impatient and began to throw tantrums while attempting to grab the cookies herself. In the process, she hit her hand […]
