Olive walked out of the room. When she stepped out, she knew that I followed her. Some few steps thereafter, she stopped and looked again. This time around, she noticed that I had stopped so she stopped also. She stood on the same spot. I was speaking with her mum. We both noticed that she stopped. Eventually when I began […]
My wife has jokingly concluded that she will always ask “about to wed” lovers, “What type of mattress do you like?” Why? For a really long time, she endured waking up each day on our tall bed and high (and hard)mattress. I did not know what she was going through until she voiced out her aches. As a loving husband, […]
She had just returned from a trip and I was pretty excited to see the beautiful, lovely, amazing, smiling, elegant, delightful and regal princess (What was I saying?) She brought me a gift- a lovely leather bonded black journal. I love journals. When I opened it, my excitement disappeared- I flipped through virtually every page and checked the inner pockets. […]
I was spending the time praying in my Dad’s church that Saturday. When I was about rounding off, Dad walked in for meeting that was about to start. I went to greet him. Then he said, “I have seen the video devotionals. They are powerful. I love that thing you say at the beginning”. I repeated what I used to […]
I did not know I will say a final farewell in 24 hours. I got into the clinic that day and Grandpa looked and said, “Anuoluwapo, you are here. How is Ronke?”. Those were one of those final words of Grandpa. Incidentally, he died on the same day that my wife said “Yes” to me. But Grandpa’s last words to […]
I will never forget the way my wife said “Yes” to my proposal. Her words were carefully selected and stuck to my heart. She looked at me that evening and said, “I said Yes to God two days ago and I want to say Yes to you today” (classic). I did not know how deep it was until I saw […]
We were preparing for a major meeting during my service year. We had a lot of things that we wanted to buy but most of them were to improve on the sound quality on the day of the meeting. Just a day to the meeting, we got a snake cable. They tried all they could to set up the sound. […]
Sitting in front of my spiritual father some time ago, he asked a question: “What is your vision for where you are?”. I said, “I desire to control the spiritual and economic climate of the town”. He smiled and replied “Choose One. If you chase two things you will get lost in between. You will neither be known as a […]
I needed a hair cut so badly so I visited the barbershop. As he did some finishing, the clipper scraped the flesh at the back of my neck- I reacted fast! Some years back, I would have thought it was normal to visit a barbershop and return with “tribal marks”. That was always the experience. But I had visited a […]
We kept hearing the buzzing sound at the window of our room. It would come in a while and then cease. After a while, it returns. I stepped out of the room to find out what was causing the endless cycle of buzzing nuisance- it was a bee. I picked up an insecticide. A young man with me sprayed it […]
