The term, “time out” has most often, always been synonymous with punishment; getting that fussy, difficult child to go sit in the corner. It is always long enough for them to settle themselves down and continue with whatever they were doing before the “meltdown”. When was the last time you had a “time out”? Not… Continue reading Time Out
I could title this piece, “From grace to grass”, and indeed the phrase, “It is not how you start but how you finish” almost seems like a cliche. In Solomon’s case, however, this holds true.

(A humorous satire about the Christian life in Africa today 😂😂😂)
As we celebrate Resurrection Sunday, let us pause and reflect on Jesus’ words to His disciples in John 15:13, “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.” Would you lay down your life for a friend?

I am sure… Continue reading “Truth” – by Yaa F. Attobrah
