Some years ago, a beloved family friend, who is also an older brother, was getting married. It was a colourful event. As we sat outside the reception venue, I was conversing with another older friend of mine. She has a good job and is also beautiful. She is a born-again child of God. I knew she was growing in the […]
A young lady who had some level of access to us once approached my wife and said, “I want to tell you something, ma.” Irewamiri asked what the matter was. Instead of mentioning the issue, she asked my wife, “Has Pastor not told you? Maybe I should wait for him to tell you”. Irewamiri was wondering what the matter was […]
One morning, Irewamiri was on the phone with a dear one that we both loved. She naturally began to pour endearments as they spoke. At that moment, I became jealous. I wondered when she last spoke to me in the same way. We had been so lost in the routine of our daily tasks that we stopped giving each other […]
Some months ago, I remembered an action of mine that I thought was proof of great spirituality back then in the university, and I was surprised at how ‘simple’ (in the proverbs dimension) I was. For a while as an undergraduate, I was not rooted in any local assembly on campus. I was getting blessed reading spiritual books. I was […]
The husband fell into adultery. He confessed to his wife because he wanted to be accountable, free from sin, and rebuild his lost trust. It was a huge mess for him and the family. The wounds ran deep. The wife could not believe it. This is a Godfearing husband, but where did he get it wrong? Things got better, and […]
Some time ago, I was away for a week-long meeting. The day I arrived was such a huge moment with Irewamiri and the children. Some hours later, I got an email from my wife. I was surprised. I read through it, and it highlighted the areas that she was grateful for in the journey of our marriage. She spoke about […]
I have a dear friend I adopted as a sister many years ago. I would visit her and the family. They had her Grandma living with them. I became a part of the family. When she brought her man to the house to introduce him to her grandmother, her grandmother was confused and asked, “How about the man in glasses […]
It was just a few days after our wedding. A dear one called and said, “Temi, where are you?”. “We are in so and so place. We are taking out the week to rest before we return to base”, I responded. It was our honeymoon. She replied and said, “You are a wise young man.” She narrated how she had […]
We had to step into a marital situation that was degenerating. When we got to ask questions, we realized it was a phone issue. It was shocking how a simple issue can fester to become so gangrenous. The husband insisted his wife could not and must not touch his phone. He said he does not touch her phone, so she […]
I grew up using the New General Mathematics textbook. One of the things about holidays was the pages of mathematical sums we would get to solve. I had a childhood friend whose parents got an extra-lesson teacher for on both Mathematics and Further Mathematics. We often get to read together in his Dad’s hospital. Often, he would take through the […]
