Psalms 90 - 106

Lord you've been our dwelling place from generations to generations. The length of our days is 80 years at most. Teach us our ways so we May have joy in our short days. (Ps 90)

The world is firmly established. It cannot he moved. (Ps 92)

That he who formed eyes not see? Blessed is the man,whom the Lord disciplines. Don't be fooled for the Lord will come with thunder and might to destroy them for wickedness (Ps 94)

Come let us sing for joy! If you hear his voice today, don't harden your hearts as times yet not forgotten. For the Lord was angry with them for 40 years. (Ps 95)

Let those who love the Lord, hate evil. For surely we can't proclaim his glorious deeds if our lives and doctrine are not in balance. I need to always watch out that I'm worthy of praising him. (Ps 97)

For the Lord is good and is love endures forever. (Ps 100)

A man who truly suffers for his afflictions and yet believes that the Lord is still around and brings praise up to God. For surely this is a lesson to all of us to remain focussed on God and have confidence in his works. For a people yet not created will praise the Lord. Wow! For surely my job and the job of my household is to build a culture that will be embraced by the next generation. For my job is not with just what is seen, but also with what is unseen. (Ps 102)

The Lord is abounding in love. He forgives my sin for he remembers that we're dust and so separates my sin as far as eway is from west. For I should the Lord oh my soul. (Ps 103)

Make known to the nations what he has done. For he is the Lord our God. For in the past, the Lord protected his people allowed noone to harm them. So the story of rebellion showed that the Lord loves us so much through how he continues to show them mercy by giving them the land others had toiled for. (Ps 105)

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 ...
