The Pastor scolded him.

The worshippers admonished him after

prayers for interrupting.

His wife kept on lecturing on his

carelessness all the way home.

His co-vineyard workers shook their heads in

disgust

You could see the shame, embarrassment and

humiliation on his face.

He never stepped foot in the church again.

That evening, he went to a bar.

He was still nervous and trembling.

He spilled his drink on the table, bottle

falls by accident and it splashed on some

Those it touched rushed towards him. He

closed his eyes expecting bashing of words

or slaps.

Instead they cared to know if he didn’t get

a cut from the broken bottle.

The waiter apologized and gave him a

napkin to clean himself.

The janitor mopped the floor.

The female manager offered him a

complimentary drink.

She also gave him a huge hug and a peck

while saying, "Don't worry man. Who

doesn't make mistakes?"

He has not stopped going to that bar since

# Lesson

Sometimes our attitude as believers drives

souls to Hell.

You can make a difference by how you treat

people especially when they make mistakes.

* IF you cannot be a bridge to connect

people, then do not be a wall to separate

them.

* IF you cannot be a light to brighten

people's good deeds then do not be darkness

covering their efforts.

* IF you cannot be water to help people's

crops sprout, then do not be a pest

destroying their crops.

* IF you cannot be a vaccine to give life,

do not be a virus to terminate it.

* IF you cannot be a pencil to write

anyone's happiness, then try to be a nice

eraser to remove their sadness.

We can always be each others keeper, let

us resolve to heal the world and make it a

better place. Yes, we can.online jobs signup

Matthew 5:16

Let your light so shine before men, that

they may see your good works, and glorify

your Father which is in heaven.

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...
