‘I PLAY FOR SO AND SO CHURCH’

I was really excited to see a young man whom I had known for years again. It was a mini-reunion, albeit by the roadside. I knew him as a committed member of a local church back in the day. I then asked him, “What church are you now?” His answer was, “I play for so and so church.” I was […]

WHEN YOUR FAITH IS UNDER ATTACK…

On the 4th of January, 1990, my mum was certified dead on a surgical table just before the procedure started. Dad said he just kept hearing heavy thuds where he was outside like the doctors were trying to resuscitate someone. In the middle of the crisis, she was rushed to another hospital, where she was certified dead by the Medical […]

CHANGE THE BATTLEGROUND

My younger daughter would always contend with and pull things out of the hands of her elder sister. I watched them struggle over a balloon one evening.  She took it from her elder sister.

DISTRACTION, A SILENT KILLER OF INTIMACY

I did terribly as a young husband. One evening, I returned from work, and as my habit was, I picked up my phone and began to press it. I did not know Irewamiri had called me three times in an attempt to tell me something. I was so distracted that I did not know when she left our bedroom to […]

OVERCOMING DISTRACTION (10): REFUSE TO GET INTO UNNECESSARY COMPETITIONS

As we walked towards the car that evening, Olive ran ahead to the car. As we got to the car, she called out to her sister and me, saying, “I got to the car first.” Danielle’s response was simple but profound. She said to her, “I am not in competition with you.” If you will overcome distraction, you must get […]

OVERCOMING DISTRACTION (8): DO NOT JOKE WITH THE MORNING 

A dear mentor told me a long time ago that he loves hotel rooms where there is a little notepad or jotter by the bedside alongside a pen. When he saw I was curious, he said to me, “The last thing you should do before going to bed is to take note of what you want to do the next […]
