Wars and Rumours of Wars

‘You will hear of wars and rumours of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed’ ~ Matthew 24:6 When we hear of rumours, we like to confirm if they are true. It’s human instinct. No wonder news bulletins have become longer, more critical, analytical and packed with expert interviews. A rumour is …

Ten lepers meet Jesus on His way to Jerusalem and call out to Him, ‘Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!’ Jesus who usually healed people on the spot tells them, ‘Go show yourselves unto the priests’.

That's why buffering inspires my fingers to do uncoordinated dances on the keyboard. That's why I stare at my screen till …

When God Calls…

Most, if not all encounters with God start with a, “I was minding my own business when…” Minding your business meaning living your life, doing what you do. Then suddenly, God appears, almost out of nowhere, and He calls you for one reason or the other, but mostly it’s to draw you and others closer …

The Secret Tale of Zanzibar

The hot air seems to evaporate the history, the narrow streets seem to envelope the dark secret and the veiled women seem to keep it hush hush. Tourists walking in pairs with cameras in hand give a sense that all is well in the East African island archipelago. Walking the streets and admiring the rustic …
