JEALOUSY- CAN THE FEELING BE MUTUAL?

    Jane and June are good friends. Jane, has a well paying job at a private company, a care-free life and what happens to be a perfect relationship. June on the other hand, is a well known model, all the world's beauty has been bestowed upon her. Cameras are always by her side. 

    Jane is a little bit jealous of June, she would love to have a taste of the limelight, the fashionable cloths, the glamour and all that. June is also jealous of Jane, she too would love to have a taste of a well paying job, a perfect relationship and a care-free life away from the cameras. 
    The two always see the others lives as the best to live but if God granted their wishes and the other becomes the other, am sure they would both come to hate it with time. Jealousy makes us live other people's lives instead of us focusing on our own lives and as a result we lose ourselves.  
    When you know the good plans God has specifically for you, you will not be jealousy of others, instead you will be encouraging them to be the best they can be. Always be content be never use contentment as an excuse for mediocrity.

                                               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
