2020! You're out of kilter!



To all things, change must come.

It feels to this point this year 2020 has been one giant roller coaster ride, and we have found ourselves having to readjust, review, re-evaluate, and trying to revitalize ourselves. Although, sometimes plain old boredom kicks in, but most importantly having to remain and keep calm.

For me, I know the first half of the year is over when every week for the month of May I have to wish on every week at least two sometimes three people a happy birthday, the fun of remembering who’s birthday it is on each day has begun.

This Coronavirus the COVID-19, which has taken over the world in the last few months has really shown the world just how vulnerable we are as human beings.

This virus has also exposed a lot of rotten tomatoes within many government organizations world over and it has been amazing to see the many fumbles but mostly the lack of basic intelligence from some of the world leaders, but history will surely remember them all.
In Zimbabwe, for example, Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube in early April went out with tin cup in hand to the International financial institutions seeking aid using the Covid-19 pandemic as a guise for more funding, but has only exposed the truth about Zimbabwe’s economic situation of which they have tried so hard to keep under wraps, a sad story for another day.

It is just what it is.

In all this madness, I can somehow relate to the bad timing of events so far in 2020.
I’m that guy that would walk into a bank during a robbery – I’m also that guy that would walk into a room and directly stand behind that person saying something inappropriate about me – as for trying to make phone calls I have a great talent for bad timing leaving me feeling rather awkward, and with that in mind, I raise my glass to 2020, I can relate. It will get better.

May we all find strength and courage to rise and stand up tall, these are just trying times.

This too shall pass.

It is what it is, we are here to stay.

   In the year 2024, I find myself reflecting on the enduring misconception held by many people who identify as heterosexual that homosexuality is nothing more than a sexual desire. It pains me to see how some have convinced themselves that those who are homosexual are incapable of anything beyond their orientation. Despite knowing that homosexuality has existed long before the time of Jesus, there are still those who view it as a mere choice that can be switched on or off at will. It is important to remember that homosexuality is not a new phenomenon nor is it something that can be eradicated or changed at will.  Throughout my own journey, I have witnessed the struggles faced by individuals who identify as homosexual, including the need to hide their true self and endure the hatred and discrimination of society. It breaks my heart to think of the centuries of denial and secrecy that have been forced upon those who simply wanted to be true to themselves.  Homosexuali...

In The Silence of Night.

  In the stillness of midnight's embrace, Under moonlit skies, miles apart. Missing you, my love, beyond measure, Longing for us to be together. Each moment lingers, time stands still, yearning, Hoping for love so true. In the quiet of night, I silently plea, Hoping you feel the same for me.

When Corona visits so close to home.

World over we have been bombarded with the news of the novel coronavirus disease known as the covid19. An infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus spread from person to person. Covid-19 symptoms can range from mild (or no symptoms) to severe illness. The virus has sparked global anxiety and concern and has plunged the world into a pandemic and should you be reading this right now and are in good health, consider yourself blessed by God. Please do your best to keep it so. I have noticed that unlike any other virus we have come to know, this COVID-19 from time of infection can in a short period of time easily cause death regardless of health status. We must not live in fear, but it is paramount that for now, our survival depends on following set guidelines from renowned scientists and the World Health Organization (W.H.O) to keep extra hygiene, maintain social distancing, and avoid personal contact as best we can, also when in public spaces to wear a face mask ...
