Psalms 107 - 150

The Lord will crush kings with his might. For the Lord said to my Lord; sit at my right hand. (Ps 110)

GGood will come to him who is righteous and generous. For he has scattered his wealth to the nations. For the Lord delights in those who are concerned about those who are needy. (Ps 112)

Not to us oh Lord, but to you is all the glory. (Ps 115)

I love the Lord foe he heard my voice. For I called on the jame of the Lord.  I will fulfill all my vows to the Lord (Ps 116)

His love endures forever. I will give you thanks and rejoice in the day you've made. (Ps 117)

Blessed are they, those who keep your righteous laws, how can a going man keep his way pure? Teach me your decrees. For I need to meditate on your precepts. For my soul is consumed with the longing of your law.

Keep me from deceitful ways. I've chosen the path of righteousness and not crooked ways. Fulfill your promise so you can be feared. I've put my hope in your laws. Because I love your commands, I lift my hands to you.

I've considered my steps, and I've conformed to your ways. Direct in the paths of your commands for there I find delight. Indignation grips me for those who don't keep your laws. But I will meditate on your precepts. All your words are true. (Ps 119)

I lift my eyes to the heavens where does my help come from? It comes from the Lord. (Ps 121)

If the Lord was not on my side where will I be? (Ps 124)

When the Lord brought us back from captivity, we were like men who dreamed. Our voices were filled with laughter. It was said amongst the nations. (Ps 126)

Unless the Lord builds the house, the labourers build in vain. Toiling for food to eat yet finding none. (Ps 127)

How good and pleasant when there're peace between brothers. For surely this is a sign of untiy and love t the others. For nothing matters except resolving matters. For how own son betrayed him quick must have hurt. (Ps 133)

Give thanks to the Lord for his love endures forever. Repeat until it sets in your hearts. Teach it to your kids and their kids so that it may go well with you. (Ps 136)

You have searched me and you know me. You know my comings and goings. Where can I go away from you. For even the dark is not too dark for me. How precious to me are your thoughts. I hate those who hate you. (Ps 139)

He trains me for battle. He's my refuge. I will song a new song. Deliver me from the mouth of those who are full of lies. For such people will cause you to perish it them. (Ps 144)

The Lord is compassionate on all he has created. For his kingdoms is an everlasting kingdom. He satisfied the desires of all he has made. (Ps 145)

For the Lord takes delight in his people. (Ps 149)

My trip back to Europe in ONE word (Part 1/2) - Coronavirus

It was a normal working day on a hot and usually dusty afternoon in Yaounde when I got the call to come and collect my Visa for my upcoming trip to Italy. I was elated. It had been 17 years since I had last seen my foster aunts and cousins. I was beside myself.  I distinctly remember my trip back to wish my father goodbye and how emotional I was because I knew that somehow I will not see him for a long while. I remember the bus trip back to Yaounde and how surreal it all felt (especially since there was a job interview lined up in Munich).   Me on the bus (in the middle of nowhere) on my way back to Yaounde. Clearly I was too excited to sleep (like someone next to me). I was already missing my lovely Cameroon. On the news, the coronavirus (covid-19) was beginning to show its ugly head in Italy and various other neighbouring countries. My aunt even told me to postpone my trip, but it was too late. I was already packed. Don't mess with a black man and his luggage! Me, mysel...

Affirming in Disagreement

A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare. -  Proverbs 15:1 Do you know how to affirm your spouse even when you disagree? It's a big step in learning how to have meaningful conversations. Take this example: A wife has shared that she is hurt by something her husband has done, and he responds, "I appreciate your sharing your ideas and feelings with me. Now I can understand why you could feel so hurt. If I were in your shoes, I'm sure I would feel the same way. I want you to know that I love you very much, and it hurts me to see you upset. I appreciate your being open with me." This husband has learned the art of affirming his wife even though he may not agree with her perception. Of course, he has a perspective and will eventually share it, but first, he wants his wife to know that he understands what she is saying and can identify with her pain. He is not condemning her interpretation, nor is he telling her that she should not feel up...

Fun time at the Aerospace and Defence Air show

So it was a great time at the airshow whereby Samson got to see favourite toys in 'full-scale' size. This time around, he was accompanied by his cousin which made the event all the more exhausting for the toddler-sitters: my wife and I. Nevertheless, the exciting on their faces was all worth it. I guess the child-like spirit of turning your heads towards the skies, brims with joy and purpose of seeing the great feat of human-kind which has lasting effect. I was pleasantly surprised to see so many people making the trip to the airshow when the country is in such a disarray at government level. Then seeing the exciting faces makes you realize that the pride of a nation is not about those you see on TV or hear on radio: It's got to do the spirit of steadfastness and determination in the little (and not so little) boys and girls that have everything invested in seeing this beautifully diverse country succeed and be a land of equal opportunity for all. Let the dreams be ...
