The days lost by Ugo Sanchez

Gone are the days
The rulers stood at the war front.
Gone are the days
They all fought on common ground.
Gone are those days......
Now they hide behind walls,
Walls built by skeletons.
And creep behind tables,
Like rats going home.
Cowardice;
Have become the order of our days.
The young are sent into battle
With no amrs or just their arms.
While their women worry,
And hope,
They get more than a hand to bury.
But the rulers drink themselves to oblivion,
As if alchohol gives immortality.
Gone are the days Kings die Like flies,
Because of what they believe in,
Hope,Hate and even Love.
But cursed are these times we live in,
Where the leaders live for too long,
Probably,prodigees of Methusalah
And the young are close to their graves,
Before they even get a chance to touch a crown.
Gone are the days
War is waged to bring peace
Now,it's waged to end peace.
Now,
I ask for your forgiveness
and pray to,
Who ever is responsible
For these curses to my home
To bring back
The days we have lost.

Converted but Unbroken Christians!

Converted but Unbroken Christians! These Christians are converted but they have refused to be broken of themselves to the Will of God! One example we have in the Bible is Jacob! Jacob always loved to do things His own way! Although, he was His covenant child, he still went on to deceive His brother and cheated him out of His right! Later in Jacob's life, God renamed him Israel, which means "he struggles with God." In fact, Jacob struggled with God his entire life, as many of us do. As he matured in faith, Jacob depended on God more and more. But the turning point for Jacob came after a dramatic, all-night wrestling match with God. In the end the Lord touched Jacob's hip and he was a broken man, but also a new man. From that day forward, Jacob was called Israel. And for the rest of his life he walked with a limp, demonstrating his dependence on the Lord. Jacob finally learned to give up control to God. Converted but unbroken Christians are workers of ...

Must-have Conversation When Dating pt. 4 - Finances

Perhaps you are approaching marriage on a sound financial footing. You’ve finished your education, have been employed for several years, maybe even have some savings or own a house. Perhaps you are set – or so you think. But having enough money for a comfortable lifestyle is not all that finances in marriage is about. It’s also about power. It might not seem that way at first. The two of you might have every intention of sharing incomes completely. You certainly don’t see each other as people who will dictate how much money can be spent on a cup of coffee. But weird things can happen when money is merged. Old memories from our family of origin start to replay in our heads. You may agree that it’s fine if one spouse makes more money than the other. Then the primary wage earner sees the other spending his or her hard-earned cash on something like a NGN500 hair cut or a round of drinks at the club. One person’s necessity is another’s luxury. What if you’re not in the enviable pos...

Must-Have Conversations when Dating

As a dating or engaged couple, conversation probably comes easily. The two of you enjoy talking about just anything. Just about anything that is, except ugly disagreements. It doesn’t change much in marriage except there are more things to disagree about. You can’t run away from prickly conversations – for long. If anything, marriage accentuates the mild differences you have while dating. They can become serious disagreements once the initial excitement of new love becomes the comfort of secure love. Before you marry, consider “must have conversations” on these topics: Spirituality/Faith Conflict Resolution Skills Careers Finances Intimacy/Cohabitation Children and Parenting Commitment Family of Origin You’ve probably already talked about most of these topics – at least to some degree. Great! That should confirm your decision to marry. But don’t avoid topics that might be sensitive. This is the time to face difficult conversations and make sure you are on the same pa...
