Big City Life

After dropping off a bible study at Park Station, I took Asterix to the park while watching pass by on their way back home. And that's when it dawned on me. The majority of us is just trying to make it through the day, week or month. Very few of us have any aspirations to do something noble with our lives that doesn't involve gratifying out selfish nature.

We're so obsessed with materialistic things that line between want and need is no longer solid. The purpose and meaning of life has resorted to fulfilled our self made goals and completely ignores the need to seek the will of the one who created our ability to have desires.

For God created man in his image (see the book of Genesis) so we may realise the true meaning of our existence not so we can use all these powers to make up our own purpose. May the father forgive us for its so clear that our wisdom is hos foolishness.

One day we will all fave such truths. Until then...

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...
