The Glad Game

Ecclesiastes 9:11 Easy-to-Read Version (ERV)

11 I also saw other things in this life that were not fair. The fastest runner does not always win the race; the strongest soldier does not always win the battle; wise people don’t always get the food; smart people don’t always get the wealth; educated people don’t always get the praise they deserve. When the time comes, bad things can happen to anyone!

I never heard about an Easy-to-Read version of the Bible till pretty recently, but I’m glad I stumbled on it when I did. There’s something refreshingly different about the perspective it gives, especially with verses like the one above. But more about that later.

Living the Deliberate Intentional Life

After standing in the scorching sun for ten very long minutes at the bus stop on the ever busy Douglas road, waiting for a vehicle heading to Ihiagwa to show up, one finally did, and the lucky few of us who could scampered in. It had been quite the Thursday, and I was itching to get back to my school residence.

As had become a weekly routine for me at this point, I had gone to the cinema at The Mall much earlier in the day to meet up with some friends and catch a movie. The Fate of The Furious was really the only item on my bucket list for the day, and believe me when I say it was every kobo worth the trouble. You really should see it if you haven’t yet. Great movie.

My Thoughts on Mental Health

Today’s post isn’t going to be a long one, but it’s one I hope reawakens our awareness to something that’s still such an issue in this part of the world. The fact that we choose to ignore just how serious mental illness can be.

Happy Birthday, Mom!

My Superwoman,

You've been on my mind way more than usual this past month. It's you I think about and smile just before I gently fall asleep each night. It's you whose loving thoughts I wake up to the beautiful morning after. It's you who's the subject of those soothing dreams in between. It's absolutely impossible not to think about you when virtually everything around me reminds me that you're not here, and that there's still that great big void that time will never fill. Evidently, I still miss you so very much.
