“Aunty
Ayuk is dead?” As a kid, this is one of the most shocking deaths I remember.
Aunty Ayuk visited my parents with her husband a couple of days before this.
They discussed about the tragic news of her mother-in-law’s death, and I could
not forget that conversation because my dad graphically explained the horror of
how dead bodies decay. “So, Auntie’s body will decay likewise?”
One...

not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?” Matthew 6 verse 25
Have you ever had a near-death experience? I had one on my way to work. In a flash, a trailer with failed brakes smashed the tricycle on a lane we had just left. I was a whisker away from death. This happened in a season when I was so dissatisfied with my job and standard of living. Then, this text hit me – “Is...

At one moment, you have it all together.
Then, in the blink of an eye, there's a swift flip
And you're on the other side of eternity.
To you who think that you can regulate time

Let me talk to Jesus
Oh, that my belly...
