Why need a tablet?

I mean really! Trying to be objective in this latest craze to get your hands in the next technology gadget, are we really getting value for money? I've spent the last couple of hours (precious sleep hours I might add) to figure out whether I should finally succumb to the tablet world. So the first question was... Android or iOS?

I mean there's so much politics going around between ipad 2 and Samsung galaxy tab or the new kid on the block... which seems to be changing all the time. It's like the endless comparison between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo and should deserve the top spot of player of the century award. I mean isn't this all a marketing gimic? Even the famous Pele and Maradona got into the act! And just like with everything in life, you eventually takes side. And it's so difficult not to.

So which is it? Do you go for versatility of Android or constant achiever and ever reliable Ipad?

It's like asking to do you go for the consistent Messi or surprise package of Ronaldo? I must be honest, I've owned Apple products before (ipod shuffle) and when it comes to multimedia (photos and videos) it doesn't get any better! I mean that's the whole selling point of Apple and with today's society hungry for multimedia social networks, it's no surprise the success of their devices. But more importantly, besides the control nature of Apple products and apps, one standardized device brings a sense of customer support that's unrivalled in the defragmented systems within the android world. So what I'm trying to say with Android you're trading versatility for functionality and reliability. For example, I have an xperia Neo and hardware support for this device is a nightmare! I'm A firm believer of open source software but the steep and not user friendly Linux based Ubuntu caused me to revert back to the old Faithfull windows xp. I guess people don't want to spend their time figuring out stuff out especially when you're nowhere close to being a developer or it support personel. So having devices that do what they're supposed to do and do it well... then that's all that matters... Especially for me and the thousands of people who believe that's exactly what you get in ipad. So conclusion: it you're looking for reliability and user functionality, then don't look Nd further than the trusted ipad 2. And that's that. So now I know what's on my next shopping list.

Times of refreshing

What a weekend that has just gone past! The single's ministry saw two men getting baptised on Sunday after church! What a rush!!! I had never dealt with two people baptising at the same time. Truly the bible is true when it says that "repentance brings times of refreshing". Seeing the excitement in those guys faces made me realise how blessed we are at having being "fished out" of the water at such an early age (I was 18 and my wife 14). Through his grace, I've experienced much love and much pain in his kingdom yet through it all, knowing that His Spirit can continue to guide me as long as I stay close to him. The crazy thing about yesterday was the realization that God is definitely moving amongst the churches all around Southern Africa and it felt really good to know we were making news (although small in comparison) of our own. There was almost a sense of disbelief among those who have been doubting whether God can still do miracles. My prayer and hop...

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...

Proverbs 1 - The dangers of Foolishness

I was reading this scripture this morning and i couldn't help feeling that I often act like this person. Thinking that I don't have to study my bible and put it into practice is compared to someone laughing at you when trouble comes to your life. It sounds cruel but God's standard was never meant to make us 'feel' good. 26 I also jwill laugh at your calamity; I will mock when kterror strikes you, 27 when terror strikes you like la storm and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you. 28 mThen they will call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently but will not find me. 29 Because they chated knowledge and ndid not choose the fear of the Lord,
