And so today during my shift at the theatre, I got so emotional and couldn't stop the tears that came rolling down my cheeks as I watched a 7 yr old boy whose surgery I had watched in the operating room barely 48 hrs ago lay lifeless. It's not as if this is the first time have seen patients given up on the ward but this time the feeling was different. I could vividly remember the resuscitations and cpr's performed all to no avail. All so soon the mortuary man came with his carrier to pick up this little boy and just as he opened the carrier I saw an elderly woman naked and lifeless in the carrier. There and then the little boy was dumped into the carrier straight to the morgue. There and then, Revelation 20:12 dawned on me "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God;..." The bottom line of this long writeup is that we're jst passing through this place we call earth, we have a final destination and there's indeed life after death, though we pray for long life the truth is our life can be cut short at anytime and the question is after death what next? Let's be true to our maker, and serve him well while we can for we would all appear before him one day to give an account of all our deeds whether good or bad.
Have a blessed week ahead.

Poem: Black Chibby
My family gathered around
Everybody is happy
Lots of nicknames went all around
Mine was tacky.
'Black Chibby,' shouted my brother the Ta -Ta
As the family bursted into an outrageous laughter
I first frowned,neglecting the name
But quickly,the name spread,giving me fame.
I sat alone under the tree
I heard a whisper,'Black Chibby,pass the key'
I stood,looked around,saw nothing and gave a hiss
As i enjoyed the peaceful air,a mere kiss.
The name became a part of me
I embraced it with pride
Anytime someone shouts Black Chibby
I'll return a smile.

Parental Respect
I saw this on Facebook today and want to share it.
There’s a common problem in many homes today. Disrespect. Refusing to consider each other’s opinions, interrupting when someone’s talking, never apologizing for a mistake. Sounds like I’m talking about children, doesn’t it? But, parents, I’m actually referring to the way you behave.
Maybe you’ve seen it – a parent spewing anger or yelling careless words to control a child. You may have even done it yourself. It’s an easy trap to fall into. After all, such methods do create compliance – at least for that moment. But does it really make sense for a parent to demand respect by acting disrespectfully themselves?
Disrespect is an attack on a child’s self-worth. Parents who scream, belittle, interrupt, and lecture endlessly will erode the connection between them and their child. And without connection, parents face a never-ending struggle. As author Josh McDowell says, “Rules without relationship equals rebellion.” In the long run, disrespect from a parent will lead to less compliance from a child, not more.
Another important consideration is what a parent’s behavior models. As you’ve probably already noticed, kids don’t need help learning how to be disrespectful. It’s part of the fallen nature at work within all of us. But that’s why it’s even more crucial for parents to keep themselves under control. It models for the child how to resolve conflict with another person while treating them with respect.
Listen, I understand how tough it is to raise kids these days. But parenting with respect not only shows a child how deeply we value them, but the need to respect others as well. Today, ask God to help you model a life worth imitating.

Everyone Should Know This Story
I am about to tell you why the story of Sylvester Stallone should be taught to inspire kids to pursue their dreams.
Have you ever wondered why he has such a unique expression? He was born paralysed in the lower left part of his face. Not to mention his speech was slurred.
When he came to New York City to be an actor, nobody wanted to hire him. At one point, he went three weeks sleeping at the New Jersey bus terminal since he was so broke.
Things got so bad, he had to sell his loyal companion, his dog to a stranger for $25. It was his lowest point.
Then, one day, he got an idea for a screen play while watching Muhammad Ali box. He didn't sleep the whole weekend, and banged out the script for rocky in 3 days.
Eventually, he found producers who offered him, a man who was so broke he sold his dog, $125,000 for the movie. But there was a catch, he couldn't act in it.
He walked away. He was so broke, but he had a dream to be an actor, so he walked away.
Weeks later, they offered him $325,000; but he still said no. Eventually, they let him act in the movie, but only paid $35,000.
Out of that, he immediately spent $15,000 on tracking down and buying back his best friend, his dog. The dog is in the movie.
Rocky made $200 million.

Short Story: Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover
A 24 year old boy seeing out from the train's window shouted, "Dad, look the trees are going behind!"
Dad smiled and a young couple sitting nearby, looked at the 24 year old's childish behaviour with pity. Suddenly, he again exclaimed, "Dad, look the clouds are running with us!"
The couple couldn't resist and said to the old man, "Why don't you take your son to a good doctor?"
The old man smiled and said, "I did and we are just coming from the hospital. My son was blind from birth, he just got his eyes today."
MORAL LESSON: Every single person on the planet earth has a story. Don't judge people before you truly know them. The truth might surprise you.

The Young Man Who Gives Out His Room To A Couple To Pass The Night Becomes The Boss Of Their Hotel
One stormy night many years ago, an elderly man and his wife entered the lobby of a small hotel in Philadelphia trying to get out of the rain. The couple approached the front desk hoping to get some shelter for the night.
"Could you possibly give us a room here?" the husband asked.
The clerk, a friendly man with a convincing smile, looked at the couple and explained that there were three conventions in town.
"All of our rooms are taken, " the clerk said.
"But I can't send a nice couple like you out into the rain at one O'clock in the morning. Would you perhaps be willing to sleep in my room? It's not exactly a suite, but it will be good enough to make you folks comfortable for the night."
When the couple declined, the young man pressed on. "Don't worry about me, I'll make out just fine," the clerk told them.
So the couple agreed. As he paid his bill next morning, the elderly man said to the clerk, "You are the kind of manager who should be the boss of the best hotel in the United States. Maybe someday I'll build one for you."
The clerk looked at them and smiled. The three of them had a good laugh. As they drove away, the couple agreed that the helpful clerk was indeed exceptional, as finding people who are both friendly and helpful are hard to come by.
Two years later, the clerk had almost forgotten the incident when he received a letter from the old man. He recalled the stormy night and enclosed a round-trip ticket to New York, asking the young man to pay them a visit.
The old man met him in New York, and led him to the corner of Fifth Avenue and 34th Street. He then pointed to a great new building there, a pale reddish stone, with turrets and watchtowers thrusting up to the sky.
"That," said the old man, "Is the hotel I have just built for you to manage."
"You must be joking," the young man said.
"I can assure you I am not," said the old man.
The old man's name was William Waldorf-Aster, and that magnificent structure was the original Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.The young clerk who became its first manager was George C. Boldt. This young clerk never foresaw the turn of events that would lead him to become the manager of one of the world's most glamorous hotels.
Moral Lesson: Don't be afraid to reach and touch someone's life. You never know whose heart you may be touching.
