LORD OF THE STORMS

A beautiful evening it was
The moon all out in its splendor
Smiling on us with full vigor
As we gallivant and talk away in the boat
Enjoying the caress of the gentle breeze
As we make our way to the other side

Out of the sudden came the unexpected
The calm tide of the see turns the opposite
Calmness turned violent-unlimited
Our boat was at its mercy
Rocking and swinging side to side
The melodious tune eluding us

Beads of sweat turns to streams of fear
Broad grin turns chagrin with pounding hearts
The end is in view, we thought
As we pass through death’s shadow
Words of faith elude us
As the “reality” of life dawn on us

Carest thou not that we perish
We unanimously bawled out
Unto our master napping in the face of the storm
Why sleepeth he at such a crucial time?
Was he unaware or simply clueless?
Of the fact that death was at the door knocking

His reply made no sense
Why talk of faith in the face of death?
He was our last resort anyway
As we watch him point towards the sea
The next series of event
Left us overwhelmed and “hyper”gasted
Who is this man that even the winds and sea obey him?

Storms will come but what determines our outcome depends on the master’s involvement in our journey.
Jesus saves!!!!

    LOL. But really, this is good. You reminded me of my blogger dot com account, and that made me put up a once-and-for-all thing right there.

    Please endeavor to notify us of subsequent posts since some of us still can't follow your blog.

Don't you care?

I came across this piece some years back, did some modifications; I just hope the message remains intact. Enjoy!!! You are driving home after a tiresome and energy-sapping day at work, you decided to tune your radio to hear the local news, you heard the breaking news that a small town in India has been struck with a strange disease, leaving about four people dead already, you don't give it much of a thinking at first- at least people die every day. You got home into the warm embrace of your wife and only son, after your meal, you settled to listen to the evening news and you heard that there is more to the news  its not only a town but three hundred towns with lots of people dead and still counting, but still it never got your attention because Chelsea is playing Barcelona in the champions league semi final that same night. You woke up the next morning and the headline news was that, the symptoms of this disease is now in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Qatar, Kuwait and  infact the whole

The real cost

Thanking  @ jossef69 for his help in tweaking (as he choose to call it) this piece. Check him out here . One of the greatest expenses you will ever have in your life is opportunity cost- Warren Buffet. Chief Peter had an accident and lost his car; a GMC 2014 limited edition. He was en route to present the classy wheels to his daughter on her 21st birthday. Mister Paul also had an accident with his 1996 model Beetle that managed to double as a private vehicle and a taxi. It happened on one of his incessant visits to the doctor…. oh, mechanic. Here are the questions before us: What is the common factor? Both of them lost their cars in an accident. How are they different? One has fleet of cars; the other has fleet of cares. What is the cost of the accident? The former loses a little portion of his salary’s worth while the latter have creditors breathing down his neck. What is the opportunity cost? For Chief, it is the daughter’s goodwill he would have enjoyed as a result of surp

THE POWER OF ENCOURAGEMENT

                                                      Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation. Every afternoon, when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside. The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm
