MAINTENANCE-FREE WIFE!

Although it is entirely imaginary, I honestly got inspiration for this piece upon pondering hard on how simply a wife can live life without being undaunted, to her old age!

A THOUSAND WORDS, A COUPLE OF THOUGHTS!

The invasion or the seeker's shelter
The peculiar spot, the temporal fit
This attraction, who can imagine?

THE TENSION WE HAVE

There is tension that sometimes seems, to me, to be overwhelmingly real with respect to prayer and when we do not get what we ask for. By tension, I mean 'a state of mental or emotional strain or suspense.'  We wonder and we become uneasy. No wonder the apostle Paul more often than not started his letters with 'Grace and peace to you... '. We need peace and God knows we do! Upon giving a caution and recommending constant prayer, Paul the apostle in the seventh verse of his epistle to the Philippians categorically adds ‘And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.’  As God's sons and daughters it is natural for us to always expect to receive what we ask for (Math 7:7-11; John 16:23-27). That’s what Jesus tells us in the two verses.  We sincerely believe and we ask what we need in faith (James 1:6). But our faith and will is subservient to and governed by God’s Sovereignty and Will.

THE NONSENSE OF CHANGING CHRONOLOGICAL AGE

The desperation of getting what they want is as shocking and appalling as it is evidently folly in some people. People have, and they can keep, their different reasons that compel them to want to change their or someone else’s chronological age. The pressures they have which they even exert on others might be real, but is that necessary? What is amazing in and for some is the sheer ignorance that it is actually a crime! If you ask me to quote you a Statute off the cuff I will not because my interest and goal is to bring the issue to the glaring arena of community awareness and refrain. The Penal Code Cap 87 of the Laws of Zambia, for example, forbids giving false information or obtaining anything by false pretenses. Even God’s Law, from which Statute is derived, forbids it. I thought this should be a community concern which a Community Radio station could facilitate discussion of, with participants from different walks of life.
