Pulchritude

It started like it was not going to be real It felt so far away that hopes faded and reality became unsure I thought it will be so far but, here it is... My desires, plans and goals came together but not in totality I expected to have more time to realize  the needful only to know that the acquired were the needful So much was put into the beginning, it yields its share of the bountifulness yet it seem not enough How I got this far is a mystery I can't really understand Living each seconds, minutes, hours becoming days Days turning to weeks, weeks to months and months rolling on to December, I choose to welcome a month that close the face of every year A month that makes summation reasonable and needful to do... It comes with merriment, joy and lots of fun It reminds humanity that we should celebrate no matter what In as much as we are still living, December is here to remind us of Grace enjoyed... If by now you didn't get the desired, maybe, just maybe you were ...

The way we think, behave and act sometimes often come from our upbringing and past experiences. Doing things a certain way which may be difficult or weird for others to comprehend, does not mean those things are done wrongly or that they are wrong, it only means the person is only doing it the best way he/she knows how to. Therefore, it is expedient that we shouldn’t judge people instantly and conclusively based on the little surface qualities that we know or see about them; because, every man or woman has something that makes him/her into what they are today and the final stage is what others see at first glance. Try to cut that person, yes that guy or girl a slack… #DontBeTooQuickToJudge (culled from jadejaney.wordpress.com)

Today, April 22, 2015, precisely eleven days(11) to my birthday (May 4), there is this feeling of excitement that wells inside of me like it used to be when I was just a little kid and as a teenager because, such periods usually bring excitements, good surprises, gifts and fun. Even when there is no physical gift, there’s usually the feel of love and being loved. I feel like something good is on the way, it feels like it’s going to be alright and better now and in the years to come. I just feel so sure of what I don’t even know.   My mind is like a clean slate ready to receive and savour the good that is coming. God! It’s just so true and sure, it's as if I can feel and touch it. I am really hoping it’s going to be a surprise that will sweep me off my feet to the topmost top. The usual me, wouldn’t write openly about the way I feel but I can’t help but express this feeling in writing so that I can remember and keep this in mind when whatever it is eventu...

Aside the fact that citizens complain that the government in power do not care about their well-being. Individuals and private organizations seem to make the situation worse most times. Some organizations deprive their workers the privilege to safety and security, imagine an organization almost willing to risk the lives of employees on a day like; 'election day', where there will definitely be restriction of movements, yet they are willing to ask the workers to be at work. Most times workers are denied national holiday(s) all in the name of being termed as a very 'hard working' society/organization. There are so many height of deprivation in this nation caused by individuals in power,(in their world) yet one wonders how and why the same set of people complain about the government (bigger power) when the same quantity of cruelty is measured to them.#JustThinking

I get hit, and I feel pain…why? I eat and drink too much, I still  feel pain… why? I exercise and I trim my body to be fit, yet it comes with pain… why? I give my best to make things work and be better, but I get criticized… why? I fail, I hear things like… “You’re too lazy”…why? I succeed, I still hear people say things like… “Is she the only one?”… but why? The reason why there is ‘why’ is why ‘I’, ‘you’, ‘we’ are still living… Quit asking ‘Why’ and live right not minding what price you will have to pay for doing so… From me to you, Janey

The essence of living is mostly the ability to feel and sense pain even in the absence of it, remember that it  doesn't  have to be physical pain  alone.  Walking through the expanse of humanity help to give us the reason and ability to live in peace with others. Taking a closer look around, I have come to  realize  that people like to be told the truth, adored and respected, yet most people can’t afford to do same to others. Friends, in life, will always disappoint you and some will even deny or leave you when you need them most but remember that no matter how heavy the rain may be, the earth is always able to accept, contain and sip it up… that applies to each and every one of us, trials and troubles may be in sight, but you are stronger than what you think, you can handle the situation by the help from above. Wait fervently; it’s just a matter of time…

In a country where we were once called “The happiest people on earth”, now it cannot be said of Nigeria to be the most happiest as the situation is no longer the same. So much killing and shedding of innocent blood, deleting the future in order to have no one to take over the affair of the nation; so much political unrest and corruption. Kidnapping is now a normal thing to some people who do not want to labour for legitimate wealth. Some do it all because off spite and hatred for peace and tranquility or is it because they want to force some form of religion on everyone? The abduction of more than two hundred (200) secondary girls in the Northern part of the country is so overwhelming, I wonder how their parents are faring without their daughters by their side, to some parents-the girl taken could be an only child, to some; all they have is what the abductors have taken.  *Where are we going in this land? This is really something that is hard to be silent about…* What is t...

Borrowing from Wikipedia’s explanation, … scientific researchers propose hypotheses as explanations of phenomena and design experiment to test these hypotheses through predictions which can be derived from them. These steps must be repeatable to guard against mistake or confusion in any particular experiment.   Theories   that cover wider domains of inquiry may bring many self-sufficiently derived hypotheses together in a coherent, supportive structure. This in turn, can also help form new hypotheses or place groups of hypotheses into context. Science believes in proposition, gathering of information, research, analysis, and then comes up with a theory to prove the analogy or propound a theory. Looking closely, you would discover that love goes through almost the same process; love will search you out (determine to make you), study you(the texture), test you (to be objective to avoid mistake) to see how effective you can be, when satisfied with the result, it will ...

I have the permission to share this wonderful story written by Onose Adeleye Inino. The story will help to curtails the happenings around us; in churches or mosques as it were. I believe we can learn something from this… I Need To Know! Jerry Johnson or JJ as everyone called him was a very, handsome man. He knew it and everyone who saw him knew it. He was dark skinned and his skin had this glossy look, his nose was pointed and his slightly pink lips were just the perfect shape and size. He was also a little over six feet with a great physique and thanks to the weight lifting equipment in the gym where he patronised, his shoulders were broad and his muscles taut. He also liked to pride himself on his ‘six pack abs’. Not quite like the ones in the movies though but a good one nonetheless. Before he gave his life to Christ, he had been modelling men’s underwear and also featured in many adverts that didn’t require the guys to put on shirts; but after his conversion, he settled ...

Sometimes, the more you look at an object the clearer it becomes but sometimes, the more you look the less you begin to see it and the more definition it begins to give. That is sometimes the true state of what life is all about, we look in some directions, they give us fulfillment, success; and joy but the more we begin to live that life, the clearer things begin to look and if we are not careful, we lose the essence of getting to live the life in the first place. Visions become clearer when they are well defined. Setting standards also help to define and align a vision that has been seen; even when things are about to go wrong, a set standard helps to put things back in place.

2 Kings 13:15-19 “And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and arrows. And he took unto him bow and arrows.  And he said to the king of Israel; Put thine hand upon the bow. And he put his hand upon it: and Elisha put his hands upon the king’s hands.   And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of the Lord’s deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria: for thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till thou have consumed them.  And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice, and stayed. And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times; then hadst thou smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed it: whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice.” (KJV) The ‘ bow and arrows ‘ in the days of Elisha could be seen today as ‘ fasting and prayers’ . Like the Syrianns in Aphek, ther...
