Decades: Chunks of Time

I just fell in love...with Obama. I had not been opportuned to listen to any of his speeches until I was invited to join the Obama group on Facebook. I just checked out the group, and clicked this video - and fell in love. Had goosebumps crawling allover my body all through. I watched it once, then again, and again. Even though I do not live in America, I think the world could use a leader like that. I am only scared that what has happened to such voices in the world - those that get heard, those that are revolutionary, and those that speak for the masses, might happen to him. Let us pray for Barack Obama - He will need it. The video is here: obama speech - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yq0tMYPDJQ

Yesterday I attended a naming ceremony of a friend. The Genesis of that is a long one, but let me try and summarize it. She got pregnant in her fourth year. Her boyfriend decided the best thing to do was get married - that is rare these days, as there are many abortion doctors available. You would think it ended well - guy marries girl, they finish school, and apart from their certificates, have also a certificate in parenthood, but no, it didn't end that way. Her parents refused to let her marry him because of religion. I know what you are thinking - muslim guy to christian girl (or vice versa), right? Wrong. She is from a Jehovah Witness home, and he is from an Anglican home. That should not cause any friction, since they are both Christians, right? Wrong! Her parents sent her out. But God was on her side - my whole (my aunt took her in, catered for her) family stood by her - attended the naming ceremony of her baby girl yesterday. My mum and I had tears in our eyes, we were so f...

I know that many of us will be planning a lovely outing on Thursday - Valentine's Day, but I am hoping that we will also remember those that cannot enjoy the things we take for granted like walking...dancing...using our hands and even fingers. The Octopus Events is currently subsidizing the prices for Dominion Honey's 75 cl bottled honey(sealed and branded). The current price is N870, of which 5% is going to be donated to Hearts of Gold Children Hospice and Orphanage, Ikeja, Lagos state. Hearts of Gold Chilren's Hospice is the first children's hospice and respite care facility in Nigeria. The house opened it does in October 2003 in response to a steadily increasing number of abandoned and orphaned sick children suffering from a vast range of illnesses. These illnesses have the potential to end their lives in a matter of days, weeks, months or sometimes years. For each of theses children with a terminal of like limiting illnesses, the hospice offers comfortable, caring a...

Don't know how far this is true, but there is no harm in being aware... Where do you keep your Handphone normally? This morning I heard a true and sad story from a colleague of mine. She told me one of her friends is always having miscarriages. When the baby gets to be 2-3 months old she loses it. This happened several times over. The couple went to check with many doctors and at last one of the doctors examined the dead baby and found that the baby's body cells kept dying as the baby was growing in the womb until he/she could not survive.This was because her uterus was affected by HANDPHONE RADIATION. The doctor told her she now has no chance to give birth to a healthy baby because the radiation has affected her uterus so that the major portion of the cells in her uterus have already died. This happened because she has been keeping her handphone in her working jacket so that the phone rested against just the right spot for the uterus. She had been wearing it like this for a f...
