There was a day that a friend and I fought in the secondary school. I knew I could not physically defeat him but I had a sharp mouth. I eventually abused him with something so painful that he went home to tell his mum what I said. His mum paid our home a visit. She said, “Even if you wanted […]
We had to get some renovation work done in the ministry office. We called the carpenter to do some work. On one of the days, I stepped out of the office and I saw the planks.

I laid on the floor beside Olive as she made attempts to climb me. Just then, she moved away and began to crawl faster than I had ever seen her crawl in the direction of an attractive object.

A dear father who is active in missions and church planting in unreached terrains shared a story that has not left my mind. It happened in one of the villages where he went to plant a church. While he was preaching one evening with the help of an interpreter, a lady in the audience who could not control herself any […]
I was in conversation with an elderly person and I was deeply stirred by his passion for what he does and the push he gives to it. I was forced to ask him, “Daddy, why are you running with so much passion and so relentlessly?” His answer was instructive. He said to me, “My brother, I have wasted so much […]

I saw something interesting that I never knew before. There was a notice on the board about candidates who write exams from the prison. I was alarmed. I […]
Till date, I cannot kill a hen (Thou shall not murder but I love eating it). But I used to be worse off- I could not even carry a hen.
