Doctor Appointments

Today is one of those days where it has really dawned on me that the noble virtues of keeping time especially when it comes to the "doctor's appointment" should remain pure and preserved to it's natural state.

Now what happens when you make an appointment with a doctor (a specialist i might add), you plan your day so that you won't be late because you still consider it as cardinal sin to be late for a doctor's appointment and God forbid that you should be late. So by the grace from on high, you manage to get there on time and the waiting room feels like a drive through whereby people are neither coming or going. You feel disoriented and get this ugly feeling that the doctor didn't keep his end of the bargain: he didn't stick the schedule that from a young age, you teach your children to respect the doctor's room and everything associated with that.

But it seems the times have changed. Doctors are seen and behave like another cog in this capitalist society. The power of money has diluted what was once a profession that all mortals reverred. It's really a shame... I guess I have to carry on waiting... Sigh

RE: End of Year Function 2012

Hi bros and sisters I think people will still travel on Saturday anyway to different destinations, so they can travel to Athlone Girls for our Christmas party. Personally, I think we should do the party on Saturday as original arranged and let Sunday be exclusively reserved for our praise and worship service. Saturday we just party and have a good time!

Now faith...

"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." (Hebrews 11:1). Often times I believe that I have faith by what I say and think. But the more I meditate on this scripture, I see that 'being sure' comes with your body language when that situation is mentioned. You don't drop ur head; you still have a bounce in your step. Everything about you says you have a positive attitude towards that situation. "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." (Hebrews 11:6). So it goes on a step further and says without that positive attitude and bounce in your step, God will not be pleased. For the source of that confidence comes from acknowledging God's presence in our lives and Him able to do beyond what we can imagine. "Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and figuratively speaking, he did receive Is...

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...
