Monica and Brother Ben" he greeted smiling, "good afternoon Pastor" Ben said as they entered the office. "can we sit?" Monica asked and Matt laughed, "you're not a visitor here Monica" he said and used his hand to ask them to sit down. The two of them thanked him and sat, "let us pray" he said, the duo bowed their heads and Matt led the prayer, "Father Lord, we thank you for another opportunity to have this session. We hope this session would help your children to build a good home that would grow with you in Jesus name. Amen", "Amen" they chorused. They raised their heads up, "so, how are we doing?" he asked, "we are great Sir" Monica said looking at Ben, "I can see that, you both are looking good", "thank you Sir" Monica said, &quo

Social Media : A drive to destruction or destination? I have heard it both ways, some people call social media a drive to destruction while others call it a drive to destination so it makes one wonder what social media really is. Social media can be a platform for either of these two. How is this possible? The answer is below: Social media as a drive to destruction  Social media can drive a person to destruction in the following ways: Viewing the wrong videos/pictures: it is almost every where on various social media networks. Many sites even advertise porn videos and display pictures of naked guys and ladies to increase the number of people on their network. This has turned to an addiction for many youths and they can not even do anything relevant without watching the video or looking at the picture in a day. This has destroyed many lives as people who supposed to be good role models to others have been captivated by the wrong things and can not even control themselves any

12 The bell for the long break rang in school, as usual, Choo sat on her own quietly reading a book. She saw a guy in their class approaching her and fear gripped her immediately, "hey you!" he shouted at her, she shook in fear, "you think you're better than us? You are always taking your book and acting like you are the best student in the class", Choo stood up to leave, he drew her back with force and she cried softly , "you should not be rude to your elders" he said moving closer to her, "plea-se" she managed to say, "so you can talk, I've been trying to make you talk since you got to this school but you have always been acting like a dumb fool, I know you have been faking it" he said, sweat started dripping from her face, her heart beat raced and tears rushed out of her eyes. She looked at her right and saw Alice, "won't you do something?" Alice asked her, Choo stood looking dumbfounded and scared. Some of

10 The view of the office from the back was really beautiful, it was funny and sad how time flies. Tom thought within him, he remembered when he and Ernest started the company together from scratch. The both of them had worked really hard to make the company grow but their families had paid the price, Ernest even paid the price with his life when he died two years ago and they doctor said he had overworked himself beyond his limit. Tom had reduced his workload since then but he thought of it later on, he really had no major reason to live. He lost the most precious people to him and it had broken his spirit. He felt sorry for Meg because she had to pay for something she knew nothing about. He continued walking round the company hoping to convince himself that it was worth it but it wasn't worth it at all. It was only regretful that he gave up his family for a company like this. Back then, he had convinced himself and wife that he was doing it for their own benefit but he realiz

9 Meg knocked on the door again, she was afraid she could not hear the noise that came from the room earlier. She placed her ear near the door, "Choo?" she called but no one responded, she banged the door continuously waiting for someone to answer her but there was no response. She panicked and ran to her room, she checked the drawer for the extra keys, I she packed all the keys and ran to Choo's room. She tried three keys before she got the right key that opened the door. She saw water in the room, "Choo!!" she shouted and ran to the bathroom, "Choo!!!!" she screamed when she saw Choo in the bath tub that was filled with water. She tried to pull Choo out at first but Choo was too heavy for her, she used all her strength and pulled her out gently. She put off the running tap and dragged Choo out of the bathroom. She placed Choo on the bed and hit her, "Choo! Wake up Choo!" she cried, she searched the room for her phone but she could not f

SPREADING HAPPINESS Few days ago, I heard the story of a woman who had an accident with her child. The woman  was in a helpless state and she was crying for help but instead of helping, people took out their phones and started making video of her situation. I don't  know if they meant to help by making video of the helpless state of the woman but at that time, this woman was in a very bad state and she needed the physical help of people not just the social help of the people. This woman later lost her only son who was three years old because nobody made a quick stand. We are always quick to judge others and talk about the negativity of pastors, politicians, professionals and so on instead of taking a quick look at ourselves and make ourselves right before pointing to the wrong of others. It's always easier to remove the spec in your neighbour's eye than removing the one in yours but it is better to remove the spec in yours first. Most of the people that are always q

Cracked 8 8 Choo faced the broken mirror in her room, she loved the mirror so much despite the fact that it was broken. It reminded her of who she was, the real Choo. She opened her wardrobe to look for a clothe to wear, she sighted one gown hung in the wardrobe and her mind drifted back to the time when they were all happy. ******************************************************* "pass the cups Choo" Maria said, Choo picked the cups from the table beside her and passed it to her mum, "thanks Choo..... Where's your sister?" she asked, "I think she's outside waiting for dad again" Choo said sadly, Maria noticed the sadness in her eyes and carried her in her arms, "daddy is very busy Honey and he has to work round the clock to provide the best for you, your sister and I. All he wants from us is our support, love and we all have to make sacrifices dear" she said and kissed her forehead, "mum, what sort of sacrifice do I have to ma
