(I found this in my Facebook Notes. It was written in 2010 - and I think I should write a sequel) A Walk Down Memory Lane . . . I remember sometime ago, when I was in college studying Petroleum Engineering, I always told myself that I would be one of the most successful Petroleum [...]
. . . of Ravi and Charlie
I remember sitting in my living room, watching the funeral of Ravi Zacharias, tears streaming down my face like I was weeping for my father. This man was an instrument that the Lord used to change the way I think, and now he was gone. Anyone who didn’t know Ravi when he was alive suddenly [...]
. . . and the Stone said . . .
Imagine wildly with me for a moment: Jesus is sitting at the edge of the wilderness. It's been forty days, and his stomach starts to rumble like the engine of a tractor. Suddenly, a shadow appears on the horizon. It's the devil. Sneaky little bald-headed grump. He's here for trouble, and we know that's all [...]
Of Pollen and the Call of God
So if pollen supports plant life and they can get anywhere via many a means, it feels like such a heavy responsibility to be called the pollen that spreads the words, love and life of Jesus - but that's only because I'm thinking about it logically.

The ‘Jonathan’ Legacy
There is something about the story of David and Jonathan in the Bible that always moves my heart (see 1 Samuel 18 - 20), and I know that if you carry out a random Google search about them, you'll come across some weird theories that can never hold any water. People do not understand how [...]
We’ve Lost GOD
Facing the audience, the children were arranged according to the letters on their boxes as we tried to make sense of what they intended to spell: I. M. M. A. U. E. L. -----. With. Us. Something was missing...
Of Paul, Apollos, and Asherah Poles
I joined our women's prayer conference call one morning a few weeks ago where the voice of a beautiful sister was sharing about the spirits of Ahab, Jezebel, and Elijah and their manifestations within today's church. We prayed along the lines of what she shared, interceding passionately for the Body of Christ. As we prayed, [...]
of pride and ghosts
'Pride is that ghost in your bedroom, speaking to you every night, trying to convince you not to believe in ghosts.' On the 7th of November 2016, I wrote this down for whatever reason. The Holy Spirit is my teacher and He inspires most of the things I write, and I know this is one [...]
“Be More Wendy”
(Written on the 19th of July, 2022) It's not every moment of our lives that become defining moments, but when those moments come, we know know without a shadow of doubt that they have come to transform us; and they are not always pretty. A few weeks ago, a dear friend of mine lost her [...]
‘UNPLUGGED’
I sat on my computer working myself away. As you can imagine, my to-do list is as long as the Great Wall of China. Unedited portrait galleries, unedited devotion and parenting episode videos, paperwork here and there and a guilty conscience from abandoned/unwritten blog posts. I'm on it . . . To help my work [...]
Recovering ‘p-p’
Daily writing promptHow often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals?View all responses The fact that I'm writing this post is somewhat an answer to the question. My initial intention when I logged on to my site was to write about something else that just transpired. But, of course, I [...]
‘OLUWATOBILOBA’
What is your middle name? Does it carry any special meaning/significance? I'm beginning to find these prompts quite intriguing as I try to keep my writing juices flowing. I do have several drafts that need to be visited, but sometimes, writing about something completely out of the blue is beneficial for the mind. So kudos [...]
Living
What are three objects you couldn't live without? My Bible: The word of the Lord is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path! That's all I could think about (apart from air, water, and food)
Sam’s Stories: Happy 70th Birthday
On the 30th day in December 1952, a special baby was born into this world. That baby grew up to be the most dashing man I have ever met, and I have met many. That baby became a source of joy and encouragement to the people that crossed his path. That baby became a brother, [...]
Rudolph and the Human Condition
Things are looking up for the once-rejected reindeer. He is now a public figure. In modern-day lingo, he has become a celebrity . . .
RECKLESS ABANDON
(Written last week) My sister surprised me on Thursday night all the way from Abu Dhabi. We spent the whole day together yesterday before she left for London to surprise her parents. She had booked a studio session (her birthday gift to me) for a song I had written in 2020 and were supposed to [...]
Spot the Difference
The long story starts here . . . 'You should pack your bag', Boo of life said while sorting through some papers. 'But I don't know where we're going, so you'll pack for me'. That day (October 27) was my birthday and our 10th wedding anniversary. Boo of life had planned a trip for us [...]
C.H.A.O.S
(A draft folder post from November 2019) C H A O S - Christ Has Absolutely Overcome Sin That just came to me after intentional thought. I guess you're wondering why. I'm jet lagged and I can't sleep, so I open up Facebook and all I see, read and gaze on is absolute chaos. I'm [...]
