COURT DATE

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 13:15:16 +0200

Hello Beloved ,
Please endeavour to read this message to the end, I pray God to open the eyes of your understanding into this message as you read. You are blessed 4 life.

Court Date:

After living what I felt was a 'decent' life , my time on earth came to the end.

The first thing I remember is sitting on a bench in the waiting
room of what I thought to be a court house...

The doors opened and I was instructed to come in and have a seat by the defense table.

As I looked around I saw the 'prosecutor.'

He was a villainous looking gent who snarled as he stared at me.

He definitely was the most evil person I have ever seen.

I sat down and looked to my left and there sat My Attorney ,
a kind and gentle looking man whose appearance seemed
so familiar to me ,
I felt I knew Him.

The corner door
flew open
and there appeared the Judge in full
flowing robes.
He commanded an awesome presence as He moved across the room , I couldn't take my eyes off of Him.

As He took His seat behind the bench , He said , 'Let us begin.'

The prosecutor rose and said ,
'My name is Satan and I am here to show you why this person
belongs in hell.'

He proceeded to tell of lies that I told , things that I stole , and in the past when I cheated others , Satan told of other horrible
Perversions that were once in my life and the more he spoke , the
further down in my seat I sank.

I was so embarrassed that I couldn't look at anyone , even my own Attorney , as the Devil told of sins that even I had completely
forgotten about.

As upset as I was at Satan for telling all these things about me , I was equally upset at My Attorney who sat there silently not Offering any form of defense at all.

I know I had been guilty of those things , but I had done some good in my life - couldn't that at least equal out part of the harm I'd done?

Satan finished with a fury and said , 'This person belongs in hell ,
is guilty of all that I have charged and there is not a person
who can prove otherwise.'

When it was His turn , My Attorney first asked if He might approach the bench.

The Judge allowed this over the strong objection of Satan ,
and beckoned Him to come forward.

As He got up and started walking , I was able to see Him in
His full splendor and majesty.

I realized why He seemed so familiar; this was Jesus representing me ,
my Lord and my Savior.

He stopped at the bench and softly said to the Judge , 'Hi ,
Dad , ' and then He turned to address the court.

'Satan was correct in saying that this person has sinned , I won't deny any of these allegations.

And , yes , the wage of sin is death , and this person deserves to be
punished.

Jesus took a deep breath and turned to His Father with
outstretched arms and proclaimed , 'However , I died on the cross so
that this person might have eternal life and
has accepted Me as Savior , so this person is Mine.'

My Lord continued with , 'This person's name is written in the Book of Life , and no one can snatch this one from Me.

Satan still does not understand yet. This person is not to be given justice , but rather mercy.'

As Jesus sat down ,
He quietly paused , looked at His Father and said , 'There is nothing else that needs to be done.'
'I've done it all..'

The Judge lifted His mighty hand and slammed the gavel down.
The following words bellowed from His lips..

'This person is free.'

'The penalty has already been paid in full.'

'Case dismissed.'

As my Lord led me away , I could hear Satan ranting and raving ,
'I won't give up , I will win the next one.'
I asked Jesus
as He gave me
my instructions where to go next , 'Have you ever lost a case?'

Christ lovingly smiled and said ,

'Everyone that has come to Me and asked Me to represent them has received the same verdict as you ,
~Paid In Full~'

If you do not pass this along to 15 people immediately ,
absolutely nothing will happen.

Passing this on to anyone you consider a friend ,
(as I have done here) , will bless you both.

'Stop telling God how big your storm is.
Instead , tell the storm how big your God is!'

GOT JESUS?

SEX DURING PREGNACY - " WHAT'S HIS PROBLEM"

Wed, 22 Jul 2009 13:10:52 +0200

I saw this article in a website, I just couldn't help it but to publish it.. So many people run away from this topic, but the truth is..what will you do if you find yourself in this situation? This post is dedicated to all pregnant women. Feel free to pass on your comments, I will ready to answer...

Happy Reading!!!

ROSEMARY STORY:

There are many mysteries I have discovered in life: The illusive thong panties (should they ride up or stay put?), the uncanny way my mother knows just what to say or children who wait to go to the bathroom until after we leave the place that actually had a bathroom so now they have to pee on the side of the road, just to name a few. But one of the most profound mysteries that I’ve stumbled on is the inner workings of sex during pregnancy and how it reversely affects the sex driven brain of the man I love the most.

Pre-Baby number two my husband and I had a very healthy sex life. We perfected our craft nearly everyday. After the first baby our drive did not slow down and the only reason we didn’t have many more children was because I’d been on the wonderful invention of birth control for 6 years. During the first pregnancy our sex life was in full swing until I got to be as round as a Ferris wheel and it was almost impossible, almost. But something happened during pregnancy number two that I didn’t understand. In the first trimester nothing changed. The second trimester showed signs of slowing but an effort was made. Then it seemed almost overnight that sex during pregnancy had become the black plague.

He didn’t want to initiate it, deal with the mechanics of it or face my newly changed body (giant areolas, the darkening pregnancy line, my stretched out belly). He didn’t even want to enjoy it, which for someone with his libido is not normal. This is a man who LIVES to enjoy IT. Thoughts of adultery began to sprout: was there another woman? Have I become so large that I’m nothing to him physically? Is this normal? He was not having an affair but I still couldn’t comprehend exactly what had happened, to him or to me. Where had the enjoyment gone?

Sure he enjoyed it when I gave him his pleasures, which was so often that I felt like a stewardess asking my passengers if they needed anything (peanuts, pillows, late night BJ’s anyone?). When it came to my pleasure he passed, simply saying “Right now? I’m tired and you take longer than me.” It’s a wonder I was sane enough to know that if I killed him for his selfishness I would have to take care of the new baby by myself and there would be no one else to change diapers. So I did what most women do and found a moment of joy when no one else was home. But it wasn’t the same. I wanted the passion not just the release. This amazing act that was once sex during pregnancy in abundance had become a torment. I knew we had to talk about it and it was a talk I was dreading. You see, I already knew what he was going to say. He is a very honest man and I knew I’d end up crying at some point. I was of course, almost word for word, right.

“Do you know how long it’s been since we’ve had sex babe?”
“Longer than we normally go.”
“Why?”
“Well honey, I see you naked and the first thing I see are your huge areolas. I mean they’re as big as targets! I think “those are the baby’s not mine” and that’s not pleasurable. Then I think about how it would be going towards the baby and that’s just weird. Your stomach is big and it’s just not the same.”
Long pause.

“Oh.” This is where I cried.
Sobbing I say: “I know…I’m not as attractive…to you…as before…”
He hugs me and says: “Honey, you’re still attractive to me.”
“Yeah?”
“Of course. I love you baby…but your body has changed. I just don’t have the desire right now. It’ll come back.”
I start crying harder when I hear “but…”
“Baby, come on. This won’t last forever. You being pregnant with my baby make me love you so much more. You’re what I want, just not physically.”

I start laughing as he quickly adds “I love you” because I know he doesn’t want to hurt me, but I know he’d never hide his feelings from me, which is one reason I married him. He tells it like it is and I love him for that. After our sex during pregnancy talk, which lasted maybe five minutes, I feel comforted. We make the bed together; say good night and fall asleep, with no sex. There probably won’t be any for the rest of my pregnancy. And I’m okay with that.

I didn’t really want to do it anyway.

The Uniqueness of Womanhood: You Are The Crown of God’s Creation!

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 13:51:02 +0200

Dear Reader,

You are blessed in Jesus’ name! Today, I will be showing you the significance of the woman as a crown of creation. Aren’t you glad that you are a woman? The Word of God says: And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man (Genesis 2:21-22).

God’s Word likens the woman to a crown. She is the crown of God’s creation, and the crown of her husband. The Word of God says: A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband (Proverbs 12:4). The woman is the crown of God’s creation because after creating the woman, God ended His work. So, she crowned up the creation process. Let me point out here why the woman is a crown of creation. A Crown is an ornament of beauty, circular, and worn on the heads of royalty. No normal person puts a crown under his feet or wears it on the feet as shoes. No, a crown is meant to be worn on the head.

Just as a crown is not meant for every head but only that of royalty, you can rejoice because you are a royalty. The Word of God says: And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth (Revelation 5:10).

As a woman, it is very important for you to know that you did not make yourself, but God is the one that made you, packaged you and sent you to the world. You are a creature of the most high God. You are not a non-entity. You are not a coincidence. God is your maker and He has a purpose for making you. The Word of God says: Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture (Psalm 100:3).

In case you are facing any challenge as a woman or as a single person, simply turn to your Maker. He that made you has enough to sustain you here. All you need to do is to go back to Him, your Maker.

You are a king meant to reign on the earth. Your tenure begins now, not when you get to heaven. That is why to see yourself as ordinary is unwise. You are not created to be just any other being, you are a king with a kingdom.

If a king wants to put on his crown for instance, he has to be completely dressed. His clothes, his shoes and every other thing is on, the last thing that the king will put on is the crown. As a woman, you are the crown of God’s creation, the beauty of creation. God has created you as His last born, to have the most of enjoyment of this earth. You will not be a misfit to God’s purpose.

If you have this understanding that you are a princess, it will affect the totality of your life in your action, deeds and in your words. You will not use your tongue anyhow; you won’t be a tale bearer. If you see a woman that dresses anyhow and everything she wears is showing her total nakedness, she doesn’t know she is a princess. If she knows, she will take care of her body as the temple of the Living God.

Woman, you are created for honour and dignity, don’t lose your place to the devil. You occupy an enviable position! The devil is envious of your position. Adam was in the Garden of Eden and the devil went to Eve because he wanted to abase the crown of God’s creation.

Although Satan succeeded through his subtlety to uncrown God’s creation, Jesus, the Saviour came through a woman and restored her back as the crown of God’s creation. So, you have been restored back to your rightful place in destiny!

If you are not born again, there is a need for you to do so today in order to enjoy your benefits of creation. When you get born again, God becomes your King and you are a princess because God is the King over all the earth. So, every woman that is born again is a princess. As a princess, she is meant for honour, among other things. From henceforth, you will not miss the honour that is due to you any more in Jesus’ name!

The first step to take is to surrender your life to Jesus Christ. You surrender by confessing your sins and accepting Jesus as your Saviour and Lord. If you are ready to be born again, please say this prayer: Dear Lord, I come to You today. I am a sinner. Forgive me my sins. Cleanse me with Your precious Blood. I accept You as my Lord and Savious. Now I know I am born again!

If you prayed this simple prayer, you are now a child of God. He loves you and He will never leave you. Read your Bible daily, obey God's Word and seek Christian fellowship (John 14:21).

" THE JOY OF MOTHERHOOD"

Fri, 12 Jun 2009 12:29:55 +0200

This is the picture of my darling son. He is a gift to us his parents. His name is (AREGHEVIOGAGA) meaning (WISDOM IS GREATER THAN STRENGTH) We call him (Areghe)that’s the short form of his name.

He is my joy, I thank God daily for giving me this bundle of joy. He is 11 months old and he is very sharp. He started sitting when he was 4months, He crawled when he was 5 months, and he started walking when he was 10 months, he said his first words at 9 months.

Being my first son, he has gradually initiated me into the world of motherhood. When he is happy, I am happy. I remembered vividly, when once he fell very sick, for about three days he couldn't eat anything, likewise my self, He couldn't sleep and I couldn't sleep either. I just kept on praying to God to heal him fast, and God did that immediately. I give God all the glory.

What else can I say..... Thank you Jesus for blessing me with this sweet child whom I love with all my heart and he has made me to experience the " JOY OF MOTHERHOOD". Mother is supreme, Mother is unique.... A big thumb up to all mothers out therexxxxxxxxxxx

Peace

EJIRO IS BACK!!!!!!

Wed, 10 Jun 2009 10:08:22 +0200

Hi all,

I have been away from bloging for so long and I have missed bloging, I hope I haven't lost all my friends?, if I have,I sincerely hope to get them back because I am planning to come back fully to bloging.

Meanwhile, enjoy this story below:

NEVER LOOK DOWN ON ANY HUMAN BEING

A lady in a faded gingham dress and her husband, dressed in a homespun threadbare suit, stepped off the train in Boston, and walked timidly without an appointment into the outer office of the President of Harvard University.

The secretary could tell in a moment that such backwoods, plain-looking country hicks had no business at Harvard and probably didn't even deserve to be in Cambridge.

"We want to see the president," the man said softly. "He'll be busy all day," the secretary snapped. "We'll wait," the lady replied.
For hours the secretary ignored them, hoping that the couple would finally become discouraged and go away. They didn't and the secretary grew frustrated and finally decided to disturb the president, even though it was a chore she always regretted.
"Maybe if you see them for a few minutes, they'll leave," she said to him! (the president).

He sighed in exasperation and nodded. Someone of his importance obviously didn't have the time to spend with, but he detested gingham dresses and homespun suits cluttering up his outer office. The president, stern faced and with dignity, strutted toward the couple.

The lady told him,
"We had a son who attended Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was happy here. But about a year ago, he was accidentally killed. My husband and I would like to erect a memorial to him, somewhere on campus."

The president wasn't touched.... He was shocked. "Madam," he said, gruffly, "we can't put up a statue for every person who attended Harvard and died. If we did, this place would look like a cemetery."
"Oh, no," the lady explained quickly. "We don't want to erect a statue. We thought we would like to give a building to Harvard."

The president rolled his eye! He glanced at the gingham dress and homespun suit, then exclaimed "A building, do you have any earthly idea how much a building costs? We have over seven and a half million dollars in the physical buildings here at Harvard."

For a moment the lady was silent. The president was pleased. Maybe he could get rid of them now. The lady turned to her husband and said quietly, "Is that all it costs to start a university? Why don't we just start our own?" Her husband nodded.

The president's face wilted in confusion and bewilderment.

Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford got up and walked away, travelling to Palo Alto, California where they established the university that bears their name, Stanford
University, a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about.

(A TRUE STORY-----By Malcolm Forbes)

Welcome back Readers.....
This is something to think about
How often do we shun, deride or despise people just because they fall short of our transient material standards? How often do we ride rough-shod over people just because we think they have nobody or that they are not connected? And how often do we esteem people simply because of what we consider we may gain from them? You can often tell the character of people by how they treat those who they think are poor or powerless or can do nothing or are simply not politically correct. Think on these things....

You never know who is on your way to change your world or impact on you positively. God transforms into man in different forms. It's only the meek that can spot him.

Peace and love to you all.....

THE ANGEL

Thu, 05 Feb 2009 11:26:56 +0100

I Read this article in a magazine and I like it.It is dedicated to all mothers and mothers to be.

Happy Reading!!

Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born. One day he asked God " They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"

God replied " Among the many angels, I have chosen one especially for you and will take care of you."

The child said ' But here in Heaven, I don't do anything but sing and smile for you everyday. You will feel your angel's love and be happy"

The child asked " How am I going to understand when people talk to me, If I don't know the language they speak?".

" Your angel will teach you the most beautifle and sweet word you will ever hear, and with more patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak". God replied.

" What am I going to do when I want to talk to you?
Questioned the child.

God responded " Your angel will place your hands together and teach you how to pray"

" I 've heard that on earth there are bad men. Who will protect me? the child asked. Again God answered " Your angel will defend you, even if it means risking her on life."

The child responded " But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."

" Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way for you to come back to me,even though, I will always be next to you" God answered.

At that moment, there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard, and the child in a hurry, asked softly. " Oh God, if I am about to leave now. Please tell me my angel's name."
God replied " Your angel's name is no importance. you will call your angel Mommy."

Make Thanksgiving Your Lifestyle

Tue, 25 Nov 2008 10:17:37 +0100

Psalm 34:1, "...I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth."

Everything in life requires time. You need time to murmur and complain, but when you decide to use all your time to bless the Lord, you would have no time left for murmuring and complaining. Time is innocent, time is harmless, it is what we do with time that defines the outcome. The Psalmist said, "I will bless the Lord at all times." All, excluding none. Blessing the Lord at all times is the key to continuous blessings because when you keep blessing Him, He also will keep blessing you.

"...And His praise shall continually be in my mouth." This is the Old Testament version of 1 Thessalonians 5:18 which says, "In everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." So, every circumstance should meet you in thanksgiving and leaves you in thanksgiving. There is no time to murmur.

Again, Ephesians 5:20 says, "...Giving thanks unto God always." Thanksgiving is not just what you do, it is the life you live; you live out your thanks to God. If you stop at voicing out your thanks to God, it is incomplete because your voice is only a part of you. Genuine thanksgiving must involve your entire being and your whole life -- your utterances, thoughts, attitude, actions, everything!

Thanksgiving is an attitude that must be cultivated and expressed habitually. It is not what you do when things are working, it is a state you assume, come sun, come rain. Thanksgiving should not be conditional or occasional, it should be constant and perpetual. You know why you must be a habitual thanks giver? There are certain things God wants to do in your life but satan will keep looking for ways to push you to complain and murmur so that you can miss them.

"...I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the Lord..." (Psalm 34:2). Those who thank God are invariably making their boast in God. When you thank God, you are simply telling Him, "I know this situation before me is a cheap possibility with you."

At the tomb of Lazarus Jesus said, "Father, thank you because you hear me always." In other words, "I know you will do it." And God did it. When you offer thanks, you are making your boast in the Lord and as you boast in the Lord, He begins to boost your destiny. It is my prayer that thanksgiving would become your lifestyle.

Meditate On These: - 1 Thess. 5:18, Hebrews 10:38

Have A Sense Of Value!

Mon, 24 Nov 2008 12:21:00 +0100

People are stressed up not necessarily because of problems of life, but because of poor attitude; attitude of murmuring and complaining. And often times, they complain because of covetousness and greed. But the Bible says, "And having food and raiment let us be therewith content" (1 Tim 6:8).

At the root of thanksgiving is contentment. Contentment does not connote acceptance of the status quo, it is rather appreciation of the present in anticipation of the future that you see ahead.

There is a difference between acceptance and appreciation. To accept your situation means, "I know I will never leave this position, I can never get anything better than this in life." But appreciating it simply implies that you value the process of development and growth in your life. Appreciation is an expression of value. "I value where I am, I know it is not a mistake for me to be here, it is only a process of life and I thank God I am passing through it." That is appreciation and at the root of it is contentment.

One day, Jesus was surrounded by over 5,000 hungry men and all the food His disciples could find were five loaves of bread and two fishes. And one of them said, "What are these among so many?"(John 6:9). But Jesus said, "Lets have it here." He took the loaves and gave thanks. That is a sense of value. He had value for what was available at that time and it became more than enough to meet the need.

What somebody else disdained and said, "What can these do?" Another person picked it up with a sense of value and there was multiplication. You never can tell what you could become in life until you begin to appreciate where you are now. You never can tell what you could possess until you begin to appreciate the little that you have now.

Appreciation is born out of contentment; being happy with where you are, having a sense of value for what is available per time in view of what you believe is coming your way.

God gave the Israelites manna in the wilderness and rather than appreciate it they murmured, so He destroyed them (1 Cor 10:10). Murmuring is the process for stagnation but thanksgiving is the process for multiplication. The choice is yours!

Meditate On These: - Malachi 2:1-2, Psalm 92:1

"Never Take A Stupid Risk.

Fri, 24 Oct 2008 12:57:11 +0200

In life people take stupid risks, It was Alvin Toffler who wrote “The Illiterates of the future are not those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn. see below stories of people who took stupid risk, one time or the other in their life.

Angela says;
I took the stupid risk of having a sex with a man who is not my spouse. I feel so dry. I want to be delivered from fornication. Please all pray for me so I shouldn't die in sin.

Abel says:
The stupid risk i took was having sex with women who are not my wife, I really need help.

Stella says:
When i witnessed what a lady passed through during an abortion. I told God that once I do abortion in my life, he should not give me children and stupidly i had one abortion in 2002 before i got married. I have been married now for 3 years and there is no pregnancy. Please help me pray that God should forgive my stupid risk and give me children.

Mary says::
The stupid risk I have ever taken was having sex with my fiancé, getting pregnant and removing the baby through abortion. I just can't forgive myself

Mike says:
The stupid risk i took was borrowing money for someone to pay his debt and since then I found myself borrowing money till now for no reason.

Rosy says:
The stupid risk I took was marrying a man I didn't court. Whose family I didn't investigate. I simply took a leap of faith and I crashlanded.`He left the house just after two years of marriage. Please advice me.

Faith says:
My stupid risk was that I made a blood covenant 14 years ago with my boyfriend. Then a year later we lost contact , I can't say if he is alive or dead, I am 34 years and still single.

EJIRO says..............
The stupid risk I took 2years back was allowing a close friend of mine to be employed in the same Company that I work, and in the same office. Guess what she did?she went about telling tales about me to my boss which are not true so that I will lose my job.

Readers, if you don't mind you can share your stupid risk with us, so others will learn from you and don't make the same mistake.

True, the greatest risk is to risk nothing.” YOU MUST LEARN WHERE TO DRAW THE STUPID LINE"! The stupid line is the line that separates a smart risk and a stupid risk. But never forget this; " ALWAYS TAKE A RISK. IF YOU WIN , YOU WILL BE HAPPY; IF YOU LOOSE, YOU WILL BE WISE. Even if you have taken one stupid risk or the other, have this in mind, Jesus loves you, and he is ready at all times to forgive your stupid risks so you can forge ahead. Also, if you have failed like I have done many times, forgive yourself, learn the lesson and move on.

Cheers.

Tomato Story

Tue, 21 Oct 2008 09:47:59 +0200

A Jobless man applied for the position of 'office boy' at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.

'You are employed' he said. Give me your e-mail address and I'll send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start.

The man replied 'But I don't have a computer, neither an email'.

'I'm sorry', said the HR manager. If you don't have an email, that means you do not exist. And who doesn't exist, cannot have the job.'

The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do, with only $10 in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a 10Kg tomato crate.
He then sold the tomatoes in a door to door round. In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with $60.

The man realized that he can survive by this way, and started to go everyday earlier, and return late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled everyday.

Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles.

5 years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the US ... He started to plan his family's future, and decided to have a life insurance.

He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan. When the conversation was concluded the broker asked him his email address.
The man replied, ‘I don't have an email.'
The broker answered curiously, 'You don't have an email, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e mail?!!' The man thought for a while and replied, 'Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft!'

Moral of the story

Moral 1
Internet is not the solution to your life.

Moral 2
If you don't have Internet, and work hard, you can be a millionaire.

Moral 3
If you received this message by email,
you are closer to being an office boy/girl, than a millionaire. .........

P.S - I am closing my email account & going to sell tomatoes!!!

HEALTH TIPS; KEEP FIT ...while you work!!!

Thu, 09 Oct 2008 14:30:32 +0200

Recently there have been reports of many bankers and telecomm workers slumping at work in Nigeria, issues with blood clots, and other health issues. Recently two staff; one in Zenith and another in UBA; recently died and this could have been avoided. The staff in UBA slumped on the staircase and passed away and the Zenith staff died at a party she and her husband were attending.

Cause of death?

Both staff had been working for more than 6 months without leave of any sort. The lady had been complaining of leg pains, not knowing she had a blood clot in her leg. She had been massaging the leg for sometime, which the doctor said added to reasons why she could not be saved. The UBA staff had been working, also without leave and working all hours of the day and weekend. Presently another banker is in Igbobi undergoing physiotherapy for a slipped disk due to his sitting position and long hours at work. Apparently Igbobi is full of bankers and telecomm workers undergoing different stages of physiotherapy.

Let us all try to take our lives a little more seriously. The following tips may help us;

* Always take 60 minutes break in between work. Walk around your office or along a corridor for a minimum of 5- 10 mins to ease kinks in the neck and back.

* Drink a lot of water during the day to work your kidneys and make you get up to go the loo.

* Always have your complete lunch break; in case you are not aware, this is for an hour.

* Always endeavour to exercise for at least 20 minutes a day, and

* Most importantly, please take your leave when due. It does not have to be the whole of your leave, it can be

a casual leave for a couple of days. This will ensure your body is replenished regularly.

Best Regards.

" GAY MARRIAGE IS IT PROPER? WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Tue, 17 Jun 2008 09:18:04 +0200

Good day to you all. I saw something on the net this morning that caught my attention, I couldn't help writing about it. It is about gay couples getting married.

Here below is the write up;

Robin Tyler, left, and Diane Olson lean on each other during their same-sex Jewish wedding...

The pic above shows gay couple who just got married.
SAN FRANCISCO - Dozens of gay couples were married Monday night after California became the second state to allow same-sex nuptials, offering a preview of the euphoria and anger to come as gay couples from across the nation head west to wed.

At least five county clerks around the state extended their hours to honor specific couples or to mark the historic occasion, and many couples exchanged vows on the spot. The May 15 California Supreme Court order overturning bans on same-sex marriage became final at 5:01 p.m.

"I never thought I'd see this," Michael Groark, 61, said at a San Francisco sports bar, watching on television as Mayor Gavin Newsom officiated the first same-sex wedding in the city.

The big rush to the altar was expected Tuesday, when most counties planned to start issuing marriage licenses to gay couples. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of couples nationwide are expected to seize the opportunity to make their unions official in the eyes of the law.

Newsom, who helped launch the series of lawsuits that led the court to strike down California's one-man-one-woman marriage laws, presided at the wedding of Del Martin, 87, and Phyllis Lyon, 83.

Newsom picked the couple for the only ceremony Monday in City Hall to recognize their 55-year relationship and their status as pioneers of the gay rights movement. More than 650 same-sex couples have made appointments to get marriage licenses in San Francisco before the end of the month.

Martin sat in her wheelchair during the brief ceremony in the mayor's office, which was open to a few elected officials, friends, relatives and reporters. After Newsom pronounced her and Lyon "spouses for life," the couple kissed, drawing huge applause.

As a printer churned out a license with spaces for "Party A" and "Party B" where "bride" and "groom" used to be, Newsom called officiating the wedding "this extraordinary and humbling gift."

When the pair emerged from the mayor's chamber, a crowd of well-wishers showered them with rose petals and ate complimentary wedding cake.

"When anyone is on the outside looking in, to be finally allowed in is a profound feeling," said Elizabeth Williams, 45, who plans to marry her partner of 16 years later this year.

The celebrations were tempered by the reality that in a few months, Californians will go to the ballot box to vote on an initiative that would overturn the high court ruling and once again ban gay marriage.

Groups that oppose same-sex marriage have pursued several legal avenues to stop the weddings, including asking the California Supreme Court to postpone its decision until after the November initiative. The high court denied that request.

On Monday, just hours before the ruling went into effect, a conservative legal group asked a Sacramento court to order the California agency that oversees marriages to stop issuing gender-neutral marriage licenses. A hearing was scheduled for Tuesday.

Three lawmakers and a small group of other same-sex opponents gathered outside the Capitol to criticize the Supreme Court decision. They urged voters to approve the ballot measure.

"This is an opportunity to take back a little bit of dignity ... for kids, for all of us in California," Republican Assemblyman Doug LaMalfa said. "It really disturbs me that the will of the people was overridden by four members of the Supreme Court."

Republican Assemblyman Bill Maze said heterosexual marriage was "God's way."

Opponents also gathered outside San Francisco City Hall holding signs with statements including "Jesus said go and sin no more" and "Homo Sex is Sin."

Despite the efforts, for many gay couples, Monday was the beginning of another so-called "Summer of Love."

"I'm tired of checking the single box," said Danielle Lemay, 34, who picked up a marriage license in Woodland with her partner, Angie Hinrichs. "I feared I'd be checking that my whole life."

In Sonoma County, Melanie Phoenix, 47, and Terry Robinson, 48, were first in line. Together for almost 26 years, they plan to wed in August.

"It's a historic occasion," Phoenix said. "I never believed it was really possible until Gavin Newsom took the first step in 2004."

In February 2004, Newsom challenged California's marriage laws by issuing licenses to same-sex couples. The state Supreme Court ultimately voided those unions, but two dozen couples sued. Those lawsuits led the same court last month to overturn California's ban on gay marriage.

Robin Tyler and Diane Olson, who were plaintiffs in the litigation, got married Monday in a Jewish ceremony in front of the Beverly Hills courthouse.

The couple wept and pressed their foreheads together, and onlookers whooped as the marriage was solemnized.

Rabbi Denise Eger saluted Olson and Tyler for "these many years of coming to this very place and standing on these courthouse steps year after year of being denied this right, this civil right."

A UCLA study issued last week estimated that half of California's more than 100,000 same-sex couples will get married over the next three years, and 68,000 more out-of-state couples will travel here to exchange vows.

Unlike Massachusetts, which legalized gay marriage in 2004, California has no residency requirement for marriage licenses, and that is expected to draw a great number of out-of-state couples. The turnout could also be boosted by New York state's recent announcement that it will recognize gay marriages performed in other jurisdictions.

Some of those out-of-state couples are likely to demand legal recognition in their home states, setting the stage for numerous court battles.

Derek Norman, 23, and Robert Blaudow, 39, of Memphis, Tenn., were in the Bay Area for a conference and decided to get married at the Alameda County clerk's office.

"We might wait a long time in Tennessee, so this is our chance," Blaudow said.

Welcome back readers. Now I need your opinion on this issue, what do you think about gay couples getting married? As for me, I think it is not proper, because God our creator, didn't support it from the beginning. In the beginning, he created a male(Adam) and he saw that Adam was lonely, then a created ( Female) Eve to be his wife and not just his wife, but God created her in such a way that she can able to give birth to children. If God had wanted Gay marriage, he would have created another male to be Adam partner instead of Eve. So readers, what do you think? Are you in support of Gay marriage? If yes give us your reasons, and if no give us your opinion also.

Thanks.

" WHAT WILL YOU DO IF YOU FIND OUT THAT YOUR HUSBAND OR YOUR WIFE OR YOUR BOYFRIEND OR YOUR GIRLFRIEND IS HIV POSITIVE.????????

Tue, 08 Apr 2008 16:03:49 +0200

Today has been very hectic for me. I got to the office very early, trying to tidy up my file cabinet and at the same time, trying to locate a document.

During lunch, I decided to give myself a treat. Guess where I went to? I went to a place called AFRICAN CUISINE, there, you can find different kind of African delicacies. If you a Nigerian or from Africa, you will understand what I mean. We Africans, love good foods, when I say good foods, I really mean it.

Enough of food talks for now, let’s get down to the business of the day.
As I was having my lunch, I noticed a show was going on, on TV.
The program was all about HIV awareness talk show

The presenter of the show asked a very difficult and complicating question.

The question goes like this, she said, “what will you do if you find out that your spouse is HIV positive? What will be your reaction. When she asked this question, the audience suddenly became quiet; you could hear the sound of a pin if dropped at that moment. Surprisingly, no one answered, it was so awkward and embarrassing, so they had to take some time off for advert, before continuing the show..

Before they came back on Air, I had already left, because my lunch break was over. On getting to the office, I keep asking my self, what will one do, if one finds his or her self in such ugly situation? Honestly, I couldn't find an answer to that question. So I decided to throw it out to readers of my blog out there.

So now readers, over to you, The big question is: What Will you do if you find out that your spouse is HIV positive? Please give me your honest response.

" The True Meaning of Life"

Thu, 03 Apr 2008 15:20:12 +0200

Welcome to the month of April 2008. A month of possibilites, so I termed it. I wish you the very best this month.

Find below a story, that will teach what Life is all about.

Long time ago, there was an Emperor who told his horseman that if he could ride on his horse and cover as much land area as he likes, then the Emperor would give him the area of land he has covered.

Sure enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and rode as fast as possible to cover as much land area as he could. He kept on riding and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible. When he was hungry or tired, he did not stop because he wanted to cover as much area as possible. He came to a point when he had covered a substantial area and he was exhausted and was dying.

Then he asked himself, "Why did I push myself so hard to cover so much land area? Now I am dying, and I only need a very small area to bury myself."

The above story is similar with the journey of our Life. We push very hard everyday to make more money, to gain power and recognition. We neglect our health, time with our family and to appreciate the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love.
One day when we look back, we will realize that we don't really need that much, but then we cannot turn back time for what we have missed.

Life is not about making money, acquiring power or recognition.
Life is definitely not about work! Work is only necessary to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life. Life is a balance of Work and Play, Family and Personal time. You have to decide how you want to balance your Life. Define your priorities, realize what you are able to compromise but always let some of your decisions be based on your instincts.

Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of Life, the whole aim of human existence. So, take it easy, do what you want to do and appreciate nature. Life is fragile , Life is short. Do not take Life for granted. Live a balanced lifestyle and enjoy Life!

Watch your thoughts ; they become words

Watch your words ; they become actions.

Watch your actions ; they become habits.

Watch your habits ; they become character

Watch your character; it becomes your destiny

So enjoy every day as yours???.

" A MUST READ FOR ALL MARRIED COUPLES AND FOR THOSE PREPARING TO GET MARRIED"

Fri, 28 Mar 2008 10:45:58 +0100

Hi all, this story below is a must read for all married couples and also for those preparing to go into marriage. Also, I pray that it will help to restore any marriage that is about to hit the rock. Amen to that.

Read on.................................

I Had an Emotional Affair,How "innocent" chats and e-mails nearly destroyed my marriage
By David Bauer

"Here." With tears streaming down her face, Dawn,* my wife of five years, stormed into my office at work and tossed a list on my desk. "I need you to stop at the grocery store on your way home. I have to pick up the kids."

"What's wrong?" I approached her, but she waved me away.

"You never talk to me, and you expect me to tell you what's wrong? Forget it!"

"Dawn, please. Sit down and tell me why you're so upset."

"Not here. Later." She left before I could argue further.

I didn't try to stop her. Dawn knew. Somehow she'd discovered the secret I'd concealed for months. I'd fallen in love with another woman.

Dawn and I had been high school sweethearts. I couldn't wait to marry her. But our marriage soon began to unravel. Close ties to her family, who lived nearby, constantly interfered with our time as a couple. Dawn didn't see the need to separate from her parents and put me first. She ran to them when we had a disagreement. If we went out for dinner and a movie, she invited them along.

Over time, I began to feel like a child waiting to join a kickball team, raising my hand and shouting, "Pick me! Pick me!" Jealousy grew, poisoning our marriage.

In a heated argument one night, I demanded, "If I asked you to choose between me and your parents, whom would you choose?"

Without speaking she answered my question.

Four years into our marriage, Dawn and I had drifted apart. I'd grown weary of being rejected, emotionally and sexually. Her excuses for refusing my sexual advances ranged from fatigue to lack of interest. One night in bed, I massaged her back and legs, knowing it was a turn on to her. She responded with a perfunctory kiss on the lips.

"Not tonight, David. Maybe tomorrow." She rolled over and went to sleep, leaving me dejected and hurt.

Before long we were having sex only once every couple months. I envied my married friends who described frequent, healthy sexual relationships. As my resentment grew, I began to wonder what I'd ever loved about Dawn.

A change of scene
Needing a change, I enrolled in a local community college. I met Stephanie my first semester. We attended several classes together. I learned her father worked for the same company I did, and Stephanie and I both had a child the same age. She was stuck in an unsatisfying relationship with her live-in boyfriend; I was disillusioned in my marriage. We connected instantly, sharing long conversations over lunch, in-between classes, and sometimes even during class.

Second semester, Stephanie and I didn't have any classes together. Deprived of the opportunity to see and talk with each other, we started to chat over the Internet. I also created a new e-mail account strictly for our correspondence.

Our instant messaging began as a way to communicate during class, similar to the way I'd passed notes as a kid. But the sessions grew more frequent, and soon I was chatting while at my job and late at night while doing homework. Our physical separation provided a false sense of security when our conversations and e-mails turned gradually more flirtatious.

Stephanie stood out from other women I knew. She was free spirited?intelligent, funny, and carefree. But most important, she was attentive and non-judgmental. As our friendship grew, so did my romantic feelings.

Inside, though, I was conflicted. Though I knew I was breaking my vows, I felt Dawn's rejection justified my feelings for Stephanie. I often cried out to God through journaling and poetry. I knew he'd forgive me if I repented. But at the same time, I blamed God for allowing my marriage to fall apart. And frankly, I wasn't ready to repent.

The great divide
Sensing the growing chasm between us, Dawn sought ways to spend more time together, clearing her calendar of events planned weeks in advance. She made certain we ate supper together and cooked my favorite foods. I stubbornly resisted her efforts.

"How was your day?" she'd ask when I came home from work.

"Fine," I'd reply, then ignore her. Although I knew I should work on my marriage, I was still angry about Dawn's loyalty to her parents and her sexual rejection of me. I wanted to hurt her as badly as she'd hurt me.

Months earlier I'd planned a romantic, 5th-anniversary trip to Cancun. As my relationship with Stephanie intensified, so did my desire to get out of the trip. One week before we were to leave, Dawn and I had a heated argument.

"We may as well cancel our trip to Cancun," I said. "I don't want to waste the time or money when all we do is fight."

Shocked, Dawn began to sob.

I cancelled our reservations the next day.

Four weeks passed. One day at work an instant message from Stephanie popped onto my screen. "I need to tell you something, but I don't know how."

Replying back, I urged, "You can share anything with me."

"It's really personal and I don't want to look foolish."

"Okay," I said, "if it makes you feel better, send me an e-mail."

Sure she was going to confide her feelings toward me, I logged onto my e-mail account. I read her message, savoring every word.

"The last several weeks have been great," she wrote. "I know you're married, which makes this a lot harder." My heart pounded in my chest as I read on. "I've realized I have feelings for you. I often imagine what it would be like to kiss you."

Elated, I replied back, "Me too."

For the first time in months, I felt needed and wanted. I looked forward with anticipation to kissing Stephanie. A few weeks later, at a remote picnic spot, we shared our first kiss. My heart said I'd found paradise; my head screamed, What are you doing? Although we never progressed past kissing, each time we kissed the pull to go further strengthened.

As I continued to withdraw from Dawn, she became angry. "You touch that laptop more than you touch me," she complained.

"Welcome to my world," I muttered, remembering her sexual rejections.

"David, I've tried. Won't you ever forgive me?"

"You've pushed me away for years. It's too late to fix things."

I thought about Stephanie, how she gave me the attention I craved. She soothed my wounded ego with compliments and love notes, filling a void in my heart. I began to believe she was my soul mate. I was in love.

Walking a tightrope
Late one night I was instant messaging Stephanie, when Dawn sat up in bed.

"What are you working on?"

"Homework," I replied.

A message from Stephanie popped up, and I quickly minimized it.

"What was that?" Dawn asked.

Adrenaline rushed through my body. "An Internet advertisement."

I knew my sneaking around was wrong. I buried myself in work and school, no longer wanting to be home. Fearing my relationship with Stephanie would be discovered, I limited my contact with family and church friends. I knew I should end things between us, but I wasn't strong enough.

Six weeks had passed since Stephanie and I admitted our feelings for each other. One night after skipping class to be with her, I returned home to receive a call from Alex, a family friend. He asked if I'd meet with him.

"I've seen changes in you," Alex told me when we got together. "Your priorities have shifted. You're investing far more time in school and your friends there than in your wife and son." He proceeded to share how, as a young husband and father of three, he'd cheated on his wife with a female college instructor. "David, I can see my past living out in you."

For some reason I confessed my relationship with Stephanie, and that I was ready to leave Dawn and our son, Drew, for her. Alex listened patiently, making one request?that I allow him to arrange for Dawn and me to meet with a marriage counselor. I promised I'd think about it.

Secrets revealed
The next day, Dawn confronted me in my office. Alex must have told Dawn about Stephanie.

I stewed as I drove home from work that night, bracing myself for the confrontation to come. How dare Alex tell Dawn!

When I arrived home Dawn's face was puffy and tear-stained as she prepared supper. After an uncomfortably silent dinner, I tucked Drew into bed. Walking downstairs, I found Dawn sitting on the couch, waiting. I sat on the floor and said, "Is there anything you want to ask me?"

"Who is she?" Dawn asked. "How long has this been going on?"

I told her Stephanie's name and that we'd been involved for six or seven weeks.

"Do you love her?"

"I think so," I admitted. "I'm not sure I can end the relationship. How did you find out?"

Dawn started to cry. "Alex told Mom and Dad. When I stopped by their house this afternoon, Mom was crying. They didn't want to tell me what was wrong, but I guessed."

It figures, I thought angrily. Once again Dawn's parents had come between us.

I felt I was on trial as I confessed everything?that I'd become emotionally involved with Stephanie through e-mails and instant messaging, and that the affair was on the verge of becoming sexual.

I hoped Dawn would give up on us. Since I didn't have the courage to end our marriage, I wanted her to do it.

When I revealed that Stephanie's mother attended the same woman's group as Dawn, her control snapped. "What?" she yelled. "It's her?" Eyes flashing with anger, she ran to the basement. Grabbing a plastic baseball bat, she beat it against the stacks of Rubbermaid containers and cardboard boxes.

"You're nothing but a liar!" she wailed loud enough for me to hear her upstairs. "How could you betray me like this?"

I stood in the kitchen, torn between anger and shame.

You drove me to it, I thought bitterly. You chose your parents over me, so I chose Stephanie over you.

Dawn finally came upstairs, red-eyed and exhausted. "What are you going to do?" she asked.

"I don't know."

"I'm willing to work through this," she said. "But it's your decision. Either you end your relationship with Stephanie, or it's the end of our marriage."

The next five days were the darkest I've ever experienced. My secret was out. Our family and church friends knew what I'd done. Inside me, a spiritual battle raged. I replayed the notes, the cards, the conversations, and the physical attraction that drew me to Stephanie. Though ashamed, I didn't want the fantasy to end.

A few days later I received a letter from a respected friend. I wept as I read her loving admonishment. "I fear that if you turn your back on God, Dawn, and Drew, you'll forever be haunted by deep regrets and wounds that will never heal completely. Yes, God forgives, but we must bear the 'blisters of the heart.'"

I wept most of that night. Dawn stayed with me, comforting me.

The next day I knew what I had to do. I e-mailed Stephanie that I'd decided to work out things with Dawn and was ending the relationship. "Please don't contact me anymore," was my final statement.

Stephanie responded angrily. "I wish you'd made that decision earlier so I didn't end up hurting people I care for!"

Two days later Dawn and I entered marital counseling. As we talked, I was able to make Dawn understand how deeply she'd hurt me. "I felt as if you loved your parents more than me," I confessed. "I'm so tired of feeling rejected. So I decided it was less painful if I pulled away from you."

"I'm sorry I made you feel that way," she replied. "I'm completely committed to fixing our marriage, whatever the cost."

As we worked to bridge the distance between us, physical love became a catalyst for our healing. "I need to be close to you," Dawn told me. "I feel as if we're becoming one again."

While it took just weeks for my heart to stray, restoring our marriage took much longer. At times I questioned if staying with Dawn had been the right decision. When we fought, I'd recall the good times Stephanie and I had shared, and I was tempted to pick up the phone or e-mail her.

Dawn had doubts as well. "I still don't trust you 100 percent," she confessed nearly two years later. "Sometimes when we fight I wonder if you're still sneaking around."

More than five years have passed. Rather than involving her parents in our disputes, Dawn now seeks counsel from two godly women. They help her see when she's right, when she's wrong, and how to grow in her role as a wife.

Though my job requires that I correspond with colleagues, male and female, through e-mail and instant messaging, I limit my conversations to work-related topics. If a conversation drifts to a personal tone, I end it. I also meet with six other men to share, study, and pray on Sunday mornings.

As Dawn and I continue to rebuild trust, we're committed to being honest about our feelings and thoughts, with God and with each other. We still have our tough times. But with the support of friends and our commitment to God and each other, we're growing to better understand, know, and love each other, as God loves us.

"Newborn survives fall through train toilet"

Wed, 05 Mar 2008 11:39:56 +0100

Hi all. I haven't written my post for a while now, due to so many pressures from my office for the past two months. Well, I hope this month, the pressure is not as much as it use to be. I want to thank all of you that stop by my blog daily to read my posts, your comments and your contribution inspires me to continue blogging. Thanks once more.

I stumbled upon this interesting story on the Internet. I decided to post this story today. You know, some babies, the moment they begin to form in the womb, they make sure that no matter what, they will come into life, even if the parent doesn't want the child. I have read of cases where some ladies try aborting their baby only for the baby to still be alive in the womb. Those kind of babies I refer to them as "desperados" meaning there are so desperate to come into this world, also some babies, don't like waiting in the womb for the Nine months they are suppose to wait, you see them coming out as premature. “Don’t blame them, they are so much in a hurry to come into the world" . The story I am about to write is the true life story of a “DESPERADO BABY" who came out premature from the mother's womb and guess where the baby landed? "THE TOILET IN A MOVING TRAIN" .

Read Full story"

-- -- A newborn baby girl fell through the toilet in a moving train and onto the tracks moments after her mother prematurely gave birth, surviving nearly two hours before being found, relatives said Thursday.

The child's mother, who uses the single name Bhuri, was traveling with relatives on an overnight train when she went to the bathroom shortly before midnight Tuesday and unexpectedly gave birth to a baby girl, said Arjun Kumar, her brother-in-law.

"Later, she fell unconscious and the baby fell through the toilet," he continued. "Two stations later, we knocked at the door."
Bhuri opened the door, soaked in blood.
"When we asked her about what happened, she said the baby had fallen through onto the tracks," Kumar said.
Toilets on Indian trains usually have holes that open directly onto the tracks, and there were no indications Thursday that authorities doubted Bhuri's story or planned to investigate the incident.

Kumar said that after finding Bhuri, relatives pulled the train's emergency brake and told railway officials what had happened. A search was quickly organized, and guards at one of the stations the train had passed soon found the baby.

She was on the rail track for almost 1½ to two hours," said Dr. Gautam Jain, a pediatrician at Rajasthan Hospital in Ahmadabad, in the western state of Gujarat, where the baby and mother were taken.

The child, who has not yet been named, was eight to 10 weeks premature and weighed only 3.22 pounds, Jain said. She had a low heart rate and body temperature.

Welcome back readers................................

I guess you see what I mean about 'DESPERADOS BABIES" Well lets just pray for the baby to survive, I know she will, what about you??????

Remain Blessed.

"STEALING FOR MY SANITY" A KLEPTOMANIAC'S STORY

Thu, 21 Feb 2008 14:32:02 +0100

Society tells us it is wrong to steal, yet burglaries, shoplifting and even armed robberies are relatively common. But what about kleptomaniacs-those who suffer from a compulsive urge to steal, even though they do not need to? That's the big question of the day.

I used to doubt if this thing about kleptomania is real until I came across a lady called Jerrela who is suffering from this ordeal, she has hot hands, she just can't help it, she steals uncontrollably.

Read Jerrela's story........................

Looking back, I still do not understand all the aspects that made up my problem. I recall that the one thing that drove me to steal more than anything else was the intense irresistible pleasure it gave me.

Sometimes after I had stolen something and the thrill had worn off, I would feel a bit guity, even stupid because of my actions, but later on my behavior became an addiction and stealing was a normal part of life for me.

I stole as frequently and unthinkingly as people smoke. I first started stealing when I was 16. I am still not sure what triggered it. All I remembered clearly is the good feeling it gave me.

My life of stealing continued until one incident that cost my relationship with my boyfriend Ralph and finally prompted me to seek help.

I can still recall the incident vividly that cost me my relationship. Ralph my ex boyfriend didn't know I had this problem .On the day Ralph planned to propose to me, the intensity of my condition hit me like a ton of bricks. We were in a fancy restaurant and Ralph was digging in his jacket pocket for the ring he had bought me. I knew what he was doing because I had actually stolen the ring from that pocket! After a few more minutes of fumbling in his Jacket, he said he thought he must have dropped it in the car and got up to go and fetch it.

When he left, I went to the ladies toilet. For some reasons, perhaps I unconsciously wanted to be caught I left my bag behind.

When I return, I saw Ralph sitting at the table with my bag open in front of him. He was horrified. He was looking for a pain killer in my bag and he discovered the ring there as well as the cutlery and salt shakers from the restaurant table and a pair of sunglasses he told me had gone missing months before.

It was the first time I felt real remorse for my actions. I realized that I had hurt Ralph and betrayed his trust in me. He did not confront me, but the look on his face said it all.

"WHO WAS ST VALENTINE"

Thu, 14 Feb 2008 14:53:53 +0100

Happy Valetine day to all readers of my blog.

We all know that Valetine's day is associated with romance, chocolates, red hearts and flowers- but have you ever wondered where did the custom originate, and in whose name do we celebrate it?

Here below is the story of Valetine!!!!!!!

In 270AD, Cladius was the emperor of Rome,and known to be extremely cruel. His palace was near a temple, where a priest called Valetine served and was immensely popular with the people of the city because of his wisdom,compassion and generosity.

When wars broke out in the Roman Empire, Cladius ordered the young men in his realm to come forward and fight. However, they were reluctant to do so. Angry, Cladius then banned all celebration of anniversaries and forbades any engagements to take place.

Valetine, however,continued secretly marrying and bkessing young couples in his temple in front of the sacred altar, and became known as the friend of lovers throughout Rome.

Unfortunately, his actions were eventually made known to Cladius, who ordered him arrested and flung into a dungeon, where he languished and died.

Valetine was buried on February 14th by his devoted friends in the church of ST Praxedes in the city, where his vault can still be seen. And so, the date of his burial became the day honouring him and his belief thatlove is stronger than any ruler.

SO TO ALL LOVERS AND COUPLES OUT THERE, HAPPY VALENTINE DAY TO YOU ALL.

LOTS OF LOVE FROM EJIRO

"Breaking Up Long Relationship 3"

Mon, 04 Feb 2008 10:08:51 +0100

I had a swell weekend, although I did a lot of clean up at home over the weekend. But I rested very well after church yesterday. Today is Monday, thank God for another beautiful day and a prosperous week ahead.

About a week ago, I wrote a post about a couple named Sandra and Humphrey who broke up their relationship after six years. And I had different comments from different readers.

Here below is a comment I got from a member name (SideJump):

“6 years of arguing, that is their pattern of relationships. It could well be that she will return. But yes, it is no life for the child “

Sidejump, I want to tell you that your prediction that she will return really came to pass. Sandra is back with her child. It didn't even take up to a week, from all indication they both cannot live without each other. But now, we the neighbors are wondering, if they won't fight again. That is the big question in everyone mind.

We just hope that this time around, they will iron out all their differences once and for all and if possible legalized their marriage in a proper way. I hope you all we join me in wishing them the very best in their up and down relationship? Also if you out there reading this post, and this story is similar to yours, better take a stand and do what is best for you, personally, I feel there is no need be tied to someone who doesn’t what commitment, you get to move on with your life instead of going back and front and being tied down in a long relationship leading to no direction. What do you think????????????????

"Breaking up Long Relationship 2"

Fri, 25 Jan 2008 11:59:10 +0100

Some days back I wrote about breaking up long relationship. A typical example, happened in my compound where I live yesterday. It was really sad to watch the couple split up.

Sandra and Humphrey have been dating for 6 six years now, they haven't decided to tie the knots yet, but the have a beautiful one year old daughter together.

No day passes, without us in the compound hearing their loud voices whenever they have an argument which always results to fighting. They always scream at each other and say hurtful words to each other. It has been like that for the past six years.

Yesterday, they finally decided to split up. When I got home after work, I saw Sandra's Load outside their house, and I could hear Humphrey shouting on top of his voice, also there was a Cab waiting outside to pick up Sandra’s things.

Before I knew it, Sandra and Humphrey were fighting. We the neighbors ran to their house to separate them and they began to tell us the reason of their fight. Sandra wanted to pick up the Generator they have in their house, but Humphrey refused, saying that the Gen is his. But Sandra insisted on taking it because according to her, she gave Humphrey the money to but it. And not just that, Sandra wanted to take her dressing mirror from the house as well, but Humphrey refused. saying he bought it with his money, so she is going no where with it. We the neighbors were confused, we then advice Sandra to take only the dressing mirror and forget about the Gen set. After much talking they bought agree to our suggestion.

Lastly, when she was about to leave the house after moving all her things, she picked up her child to go with her, but to our great amazement, Humphrey ran straight to where she was and wanted to collect their child from her, telling her that she can't go with the child. At this stage, we the neighbors couldn't settle this because from all indication they both wanted the child, so all we could do, was to advice them to seek a legal adviser. But the worst part of the story is; both of them are not fit to take care of the child, the guy doesn't have a job, also the girl, she is still in the university. So now, what will happen to poor child, the child started crying when she saw both father and mother dragging her. She doesn't have a clue of what is going on around her..............

Finally, Sandra left with the child. But Humphrey threatened to get the child back through the help of a legal adviser.

Readers this is the end of a six years relationship. Such a bitter end, and who suffers the consequences? The innocent child.

So this is my advice to readers out there, you don't need to date some one for several years without commitment, this is a New Year, if you are in a relationship that is heading to no where, better take your stand and leave before it becomes too late, please don't bring a child into the world, who will not grow up in a home of love with both his parents.
A child need to grow up in a home of love, peace, unity and harmony not in a home of strife, jealousy, fighting, quarrelling, e.t.c.

" COFFEE LOVERS"

Tue, 22 Jan 2008 12:26:00 +0100

This Piece is dedicated to all coffee lovers.

I saw this useful piece for pregnant women on yahoo news page today, I decided to share it with as many pregnant women that are reading this blog.

Happy reading...............................

Pregnant women who drink two or more cups of coffee a day have twice the risk of having a miscarriage as those who avoid caffeine, U.S. researchers said on Monday.

They said the study provides strong evidence that high doses of caffeine during pregnancy -- 200 milligrams or more per day or the equivalent of two cups of coffee -- significantly increase the risk of miscarriage.

And they said the research may finally put to rest conflicting reports about the link between caffeine consumption and miscarriage.

"Women who are pregnant or are actively seeking to become pregnant should stop drinking coffee for three months or hopefully throughout pregnancy," said Dr. De-Kun Li of Kaiser Permanente Division of Research, whose study appears in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

"There has been a lot of uncertainty about this," Li said in a telephone interview. "There was no firm advice from professional societies to say what a pregnant woman should do about caffeine intake."

Li said anywhere from 15 to 18 studies have found a link between caffeine use during pregnancy and miscarriage. But that association has been clouded by the fact that many pregnant women avoid caffeine because it makes them nauseated, which could skew the results.

Li and colleagues took pains to control for that possibility. Their study involved 1,063 pregnant women who were members of the Kaiser Permanente health plan in San Francisco from October 1996 through October 1998. Women in the group never changed their caffeine consumption during pregnancy.

What they found was women who consumed the equivalent of two or more cups of regular coffee or five 12-ounce cans of caffeinated soda -- were twice as likely to miscarry as pregnant women who avoided caffeine.

This risk appeared to be related to the caffeine, rather than other chemicals in coffee, because they also saw an increased risk when the caffeine was consumed in soda, tea, and hot chocolate.

Li said many researchers think caffeine is harmful because it stresses the fetus' immature metabolism. It may also decrease blood flow in the placenta, which could harm the fetus.

"To me, the safe dose is zero," Li said. "If you really have to drink coffee, try to limit it to one cup or at the most two cups." Or better yet, switch to decaffeinated beverages, he added.

Based on the findings, Dr. Tracy Flanagan, director of women's health at Kaiser Permanente Northern California, said pregnant women should think about limiting coffee to one cup a day, and they might want to cut it out entirely.

4 THINGS YOU PROBABLY NEVER KNEW YOUR MOBILE PHONE COULD DO

Wed, 16 Jan 2008 11:13:43 +0100

This is some very useful information.

4 THINGS YOU PROBABLY NEVER KNEW YOUR MOBILE PHONE COULD DO

There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies. Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival. Check out the things that you can do with it:

FIRST: Emergency

The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile; network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.

SECOND: Have you locked your keys in the car?

Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their mobile phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock
button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach
someone who has the other 'remote' for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).
Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a mobile phone!'

THIRD: Hidden Battery Power

Imagine your mobile battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370# Your mobile will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your mobile next time.

FOURTH: How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?

To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits on your phone * # 0 6 #
A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. When your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code.
They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.

This is the kind of information people don't mind
receiving, so pass it on to your family and friends

"RAPE CASES HAS TO STOP"

Tue, 15 Jan 2008 10:57:41 +0100

Yesterday, after we had dinner, my husband and I sat down to watch network News on TV. I was amazed at the number of rape cases that was mentioned. One of the stories that really touched me to my bones was the case of a 50 years old man who raped his 8 years old daughter, can you imagine that?. As I sat there in my sitting room, I just couldn't stop thinking, when will all these rape cases come to an end? when?.

Talking about rape case, reminded me of a true life story I Read some few days back:

Read on!!
My name is Kate and I am 16 years old. Last summer I was a normal 15 year old girl ready to go into 10th grade. But one night changed everything. I was at an end of summer party and everything was okay until I it became a drinking party. I was never into that whole scene and I really wanted to leave. My boyfriend Michael had decided to stay so I just thought I would walk home. When I was about halfway home a car pulled up next to me, and I heard a guy ask me if I need a ride. The voice was a familiar, and was in fact a guy I have known since we were kids, so I went up to the car and leaned into the drivers side window. When I saw him he looked obviously drunk so I refused the ride and continued walking. He got out of the car and told me to come with him. At that point I was getting nervous so I started to run. He chased me down, took me to the back seat, and I'm sure you can figure out the rest.

Completely distraught I called Michael and told him what happened, except who it was. I told him that I didn't recognize the person. I was a complete emotion wreck for the next couple of weeks. Michael felt really bad that he had stayed and continued to blame himself for everything. The two of us struggled with what had happened. I was dealing with the shock and I didn't want anyone to know who it was, and Michael was dealing with guilt and trying to convince me to tell the cops. We thought it could never get worse, until I realized I was late. I thought that maybe it was stress, but I decided to take a pregnancy test. It came back positive. At that moment I felt almost as though God had totally abandoned me. I asked myself over and over how this could happen or what I ever did to deserve this.

I told Michael. I was almost positive he would bail. He wasn't the father so why on earth would he stick around? I realized God might still be on my side when Michael said he wasn't going anywhere. He was my rock from the very beginning. This strength he gave me, helped give me hope so I decided to choose life. I would be lying if I told you abortion didn't cross my mind. But I knew that what had happened to me wasn't this baby's fault. So I decided to keep the baby.

The next thing to do was to tell my parents. I was terrified out of my mind. Everytime I tried to get it out, I couldn't. I was embarrassed. I could have easily said "Mom, Dad, I'm pregnant" but getting the words out, "I was raped," was and is something I still struggle to say. When I finally told them they did not believe me. They thought I was making up and elaborate story to cover up mine and Michaels "mistake." They told me that if I didn't confess to the "truth" I wouldn't be able to see Michael again. Michael said he would say the baby was his, but I couldn't lie, not about that. I stuck to the truth. But my parents stuck to their guns too. They decided to send me away for the duration of my pregnancy to live with my grandmother in Boston. I was forced to do cyber school which was boring and ridiculous. My grandmother was so embarrassed she told me to stay inside as much as I could and even told some of her neighbors I was married and my "husband" was overseas. I basically had to live in hell. A million emotions were running through me and the hormones obviously didn't help. I was either depressed or angry the entire time. Except for when I snuck phone calls to Michael.

This April my parents finally decided to let me come home. The word had gotten out about my pregnancy so they figured there was no point in having me away. When I came home, my parents still didn't believe me. My dad wouldn't talk to me. In fact, I don't think he ever looked at me once when I was pregnant. My mom would talk to me, but it was about everything except the pregnancy. My friends wouldn't talk to me either. Not only was I "the pregnant girl" but I was the "lying pregnant girl." Only two of my friends have really stayed by my side since I came home.

With only one month to go, I was starting to get really anxious. I didn't think I was ready. I started to think about breaking up with Michael because I thought I would be tying him down for the rest of his life. I was scared, and nervous. I even had the fear that my baby would look like the guy, a fear that I was really embarassed about. I knew I would love my baby no matter what, but it was hard to not think about that. One day I asked Michael what he wanted the baby to call him when he could talk. I asked him, "How about Mikey?" Michael just looked at me and said, "Well, I was hoping Daddy." From that moment on all the nerves were gone. I had my rock and I was ready to go through with everything.

On Wednesday May 23, 2007 I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, Jayden Matthew. It was love at first sight. I really never knew it was possible to love someone who can't even talk. My little boy is now over a week old and we are our own little family. Everytime I wake up and look over at his crib it takes my breath away. His name says it all for me. Jayden "Thankful" and Matthew "Gift of God." My mother is in love with Jayden but she hasn't really talked to me since he was born. I'm just going to give her time, because I know that one day she will believe me. Michael is already jumping into daddy mode, coming over every single day and even offering to change diapers. The "guy" has moved away. Sometime, somehow I'm going to tell Michael who it was, but I'm still not ready yet. These past couple of months have been a complete rollar coaster. Only a few months ago I lost my faith in everything, even God. I experienced alot of anger, an emotion I wasn't used to. I had a hard time accepting all the changes in my life. But two people really helped me get through everything. Michael of course, and Lisa from standupgirl. Lisa was a huge emotional support for me. I could vent to her, and she gave amazing advice. The love and support she gave me, a complete stranger, really helped me find hope in the situation.

Last summer I was your average teenage girl, now I am a mom. I love my little guy more than life itself. Michael and I have a bond few teenagers get to experience. Most importantly I have a closer relationship with God then I ever have. Sometimes the most awful situations in life can be blessings in disguise. I will never be the same after that night. I lost alot that night, but in the end I gained more.

The end..........................................

The agony of being raped is a torture to the victims, rapist should please decline from this act, so many destinies has been ruined because of being raped. Lets stop this barbaric act and live together in a LOVE WORLD free from Rape.

To all those who have been raped one time or the other, please, try and put the past behind you and get moving, the past is gone, the future is what matters. If you have a story to share, feel free to share it on this website.

" BREAKING UP LONG RELATIONSHIP"

Mon, 14 Jan 2008 15:45:01 +0100

So many people are into long time relationship that leads to no where, there are just there, no commitments anymore, the spark that use to be there is no longer there, but they find it very difficult to break such relationship because they are afraid to hurt the other party;

There are so many reasons, why people find it difficult to break from a relationship that has lasted for years;

1)Some People are into long relationship to pay for maybe a sacrifice the other party has made one time or the other to them.

2)Some people are into a long time relationship just out of pity for the other person involve in the relationship

3) Some people are into long time relationship because maybe one of the party is wealthy, and they needs wealth and security.

4) Some people remain in loveless relationship, maybe because a child came into the picture, and they both need to be with the child. So the child is the only thing that binds them togther, not love.

So many reasons, I can go on and on without stopping. The truth is to those involve in long time relationship, you and your partner seem to go round in an endless on-again, off again cycle. You cannot seem to live with, or without each other. But the truth is you can break free of it by reappraising yourself and your needs.

See Gloria story below!

Gloria, 27 has finally broken away from her 8yrs on and off relationship. " When Chris and I started seeing each other, we lived many kilometres apart at opposite end of our town. The first time I found out he was cheating on me was in hospital, after having a major operation. I had come to visit him and somehow I overheard his cousins talking about his other girlfriend. "I pretended not to know because I did not want to worry him when he was ill."

Gloria admits that even after she found about her boyfriend's unfaithfullness,she thought he would get out "get over" his fling and come back to her." Instead he went on to cheat with yet another woman, so I broke up with him "she says". But after a few months he begged me to take him back and swore it would never happen again, so we got back togther.

" Things were never the same again, though we fought continually, although the good times- however shortlived were really good. We seemed to be togther for every reason except the right one. The situation carried on for a good 8 years until I realised we were caught in a trap of needing each other, but bringing out the worst in each other and unable to make one another truly happy. So, eventually, I made the decision to leave him."

Gloria then started seeing someone else." At first it was a thrill being with a different man. but soon I started missing the familiarity of what I had before, so I ran back to Chris. He took me back, although our relationship deteriorated even further after that. Our relationship finally ended when Chris got a job outside the town we use to live, but we both realised that it was a blessing in disguise:

Welcome back Readers!

From the above story, so many women and men out there can relate to Gloria story and they know that being in a volatile relationship can be frustrating, but the issue is; how do you find the courage to break away for such a long relationship and start a new one? I leave that questions for readers to answer.

Peace
