It's a poem!

They say big things come in small packages. True, that!

My friend never knew she was a poet until a bathroom incident brought out the poet in her.I read the poem and thought, "what a beautiful piece". For indeed it is.

Probably not the usual rhyming choruses you are used to hearing. I can guarantee that this is most certainly worth reading. Here it comes....enjoy.

THE WAR....

Inside me lives

The most charming, alluring, most daring

The darkest, scariest, most deceitful

She says if we want it, then it’s right

She leads me to self destruct

With her irresistible charm

Makes me do it again

Each time deeper into the mud

and laughing says

but it’s what we want

Inside me lives

The plainest, simplest, most timid

The strongest, the wisest, most brave

She says right is right

And it’s not always what we want

She emboldens me to walk away

She cleanses, she refreshes, she lifts me

Out the mire and into the clouds

And says it’s who we are meant to be

Every day the war rages on

Each battle yielding a different victor

But who will win the war?

It’s she that I arm

She that I empower the most

It's the end of the world!

It's 1:50am, Saturday 21st May 2011. Armageddon is upon us!!!!!!

Ok i'm joking. Am i dead? No, i'm not and neither are you if you're reading this. The world is still very much here....here, as we know it. Australia and New Zealand are probably already at 6 or 7am. We still have no news of the so-called end of the world. It really breaks my heart to see many doomsday prophets springing up at such an alarming rate. 


Before anyone misunderstands me, let me just make something clear:
1. Will the world end someday (Judgement day?) YES
2. Will the world end on Saturday 21st May 2011? NO


The bible clearly states that Jesus will return one day to judge the world. For Christians, it will be a time to go home to be with God.

John 14:2
Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going

It should be noted, however, that the day nor the hour is unknown to all. Only God the Father knows!

Mark 13:32-33
 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come"


That day will come when we LEAST expect it. How convenient it would be if we all knew the exact day and time. We would live in sin and only repent at the very last minute. Pity! It doesn't exactly work that way.


But the real issue we should be thinking is about is this....what if tomorrow was judgement day for real. Would you be in the right place with God? Would you be considered worthy to see heaven and to be with the Lord? Unfortunately, it will be too late when that day actually comes. Now is the time to make the decision to choose HIM.


Forget about the publicity hungry cults. Forget about their many predictions and what-nots. The world is so not ending today, really. One day, 2012 will come and go. I will still be blogging about the end of the world that did not happen.

In other news, the Hillsong London concert was amazing!!!!!!!

Holy Cow! I'm here!

I have always resisted the urge to start a blog. Despite the fact that i love to write, i found the blogging habit a bit too "writing-demanding" for me. If you are reading this, you must be wondering, "Why the heck did she start?"

Well.....i could tell the long story....or i could tell a super compressed version of the so-called long story since i am in no mood to bore or to be bored :). I came across a super awesome blog that uploaded links to very old long lost vinyl and cassette record. I happened to find old vinyl records of some of my favourite childhood Ghanaian musicians there. I literally pinched myself when i saw Onipa Nua, Tagoe Sisters and George Jahraa (Yes, the old driver banza-singing George Jahraa not the new and improved ashikele-lized Jahraa). I was inspired by this amazing blogger to start something that people will look to and find something inspiring. I created my blog then and exclaimed to myself, "Holy Cow! I'm here!" Yes, i'm here....blogging my troubles away. Hopefully, i'm here for good. More grease to my keyboard.

PS: In case you are interested, that amazing blog i found is afroslabs.blogspot.com
