THE MORAL COMPASS

    The best is always saved for last. The calm and collected pastor Terry Gobanga spoke of the moral compass.The way she carried herself, no one could tell of her history. The moral compass should always point north. We are to do what is right not because we stand to gain but because it is the right thing to do.
    She stated that everybody has an unfair advantage, that something you have that nobody else in this world has.We don't have to hate others simply because they have what we don't have and we are to assume goodness  in others, let's not be quick in judging others. We are also to pay attention how the people around us influence our moral compass.
A great testimony she is
 We are also to love the Jesus way, everybody deserves our love, we are not supposed to hate people who are not like us, she gave the example of gays. we are to hate the sin and not the sinners. In all this we are to put our family first. We should also keep our promises and if we are not in a position to do so, we should explain ourselves.
    We are not to complain when things don't go our way, the Lord brings things to our lives just to make sure our moral compass stays north.
    Lastly, opportunity meets advantage, we should strive to make our names in the good books. We are also to go the extra mile, there's no traffic there. According to her lack of ideas is the problem, but  I  think putting the ideas into practice is the problem.We have so many great ideas which never come to realisation simply because of what people might say about us.She also said that the problem of promotion is that nothing will happen, meaning she agrees with me. She simply meant that by  you not doing what you want to do, the result will be that nothing will happen.

                                               UNDER CONTROL There was once a little girl named Amani. She was born to a clan that was well known for oversleeping. To them oversleeping was a tradition. Most of the clan members knew it was their custom and so they slept even when they had no sleep, they just had to force it. Amani's mother was among the few exceptions. She tried to instill the value of waking up early to all her four children but they were all hard on her advice. After all, almost everybody was sleeping so why would they have bothered. Amani saw some sense in her mother's advice and she tried it. At first it was not that easy. One day she said a different prayer and went to sleep. In the prayer she asked God to wake her up early. The next day early in the morning she was up early but still she had a problem; she had nothing to do.  That day at night, she said another different prayer. In the prayer she asked God to wake her up early and give her something ni

TECH SHAME     It's good to be conscious of where you are going and by what means you are getting to your destination. I recently experienced an embarrassing situation due to ignorance.      I was tired, I crossed the road of this busy street, almost got ran over. I didn't want to go further so the first matatu that came along, I was in. I sat on the nearest available seat. Next to me was a man probably in his late seventies, he was the talkative type. He asked me if I was going the same destination with him, I nodded in agreement, he kept giving me this curious look, as he was about to make further inquiries, the screen was on and loud sounds emanated from the speakers, at first, this came as a relief but it wasn't. The song being played was full of obscene language and equally obscene visual images, the first time I looked at the screen I literally went blind for some minutes. I vowed to be blind throughout the journey but my old friend would not let me.

                                                             LOVE  Love.this word arouses lots of feelings in people. Back in the days love was a tradition especially in Africa. People used to love one another regardless of the circumstances. There was no need for one to love somebody from the mere fact that they knew them. In those days, the phrase "I love you" was used genuinely. I once had a friend, at the time of this incident am narrating, she was about seventeen years of age. It was valentine season, flowers and those three words were trending. My friend's crush saw this as a nice opportunity, to convince my friend.  He came with his confidence all refreshed and beautiful red and white flowers in hand. We were in the school's play ground when he came and presented the flowers and the three words to her.  Just then, my friend ran towards the direction of the gate, screaming inaudible words.  She took the whole school's attention with
