HAVE YOU MADE A MISTAKE? "cross" it and move on.

When I started using pens in primary school, I
often made mistakes.
I would try hard to erase them. Sometimes I used
chalk, but it later reappeared. So I began to use
saliva, it worked but only to leave holes in my
book.
My teachers then used to beat me for being
outrageously dirty. But all I tried to do was cover
my errors. One day, a kind hearted teacher called
me aside.
"Young man, anytime you make a mistake, just
cross it and move on. Trying to erase it would
only damage your book".
"But, I don't want people to see my mistake and
laugh at me", I protested.
"Trying to erase it will make more people know
about your mess, and the stigma is for life.
HAVE YOU MADE A MISTAKE?
"cross" it and move on.That is; take your
mistakes to the Cross of Calvary, at the feet of
Jesus, leave it there and move on.Don't try to
create more irredeemable errors by trying within
your power to erase it.'To error is human' so put
it in the hands of The Divine One.........
NOTE:the devil knows our name but he calls us
by our sins...........God knows our sins but HE
calls us by our Names.
: In life, Some may walk,others may run.
Remember the Lord gave the tortoise and the
horse the same days to reach Noah's ark. Your
journey might be rough and tough but you will
definitely get to your destination. Be prayerful and
stay blessed.

Take care of yourself__"The first wealth is health".

By Strive Masiyiwa  A few weeks ago I went to the doctor. I will tell you what he said about my health at the end, but first read this: Twenty years ago, I arranged to meet a well-known British international businessman who invested a lot in Africa at the time. We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...

Freedom: The One Thing Gaddafi Could Not Give — And the One Thing No Government Can Take Away

For years, the collapse of Libya under Muammar Gaddafi puzzled many observers across Africa and the world. How could a country with high living standards, generous state programs, and a strong economy turn so swiftly against a leader who appeared to have delivered materially for his people? This question is not just about Libya. It speaks to a deeper truth about governance, legitimacy, and the limits of developmental authoritarianism. It speaks to Africa’s political future. And it speaks directly to the crossroads at which Kenya now finds itself. --- The Libyan Paradox: Prosperity Without Liberty Before the 2011 uprising, Libya’s economic and social indicators were strikingly strong for the region. Gaddafi’s Libya boasted: Free education Free healthcare Subsidized housing Cheap fuel High employment An extensive welfare system These were not myths. The United Nations Human Development Index (HDI) of 2010 ranked Libya 53rd in the world and first in Africa. Even today, that ranking stands...
