SELF-DESTRUCTION
The same way a lot of people have destroyed what the Lord rightly gave to them with their own hands. The case of a governor of one of the states in Nigeria is a very good example. He jumped bail in England and was removed on coming back home. There was also the case of one boy who

BACK WHERE WE STARTED

KNOWING WHERE YOU'RE GOING
Remember Alice in Wonderland when she comes up to the fork in the road and asks the Cheshire cat which way to go.
He asks her, "Where are you going?" Then she replies, "I don’t know," at which he replies, "If you don’t know where you are going, what difference does it

THE TRIBULUM
The Roman method of threshing grain has one man stirring up the sheaves while another man rides over it in a crude cart equipped with rollers instead of wheels (sometimes flat boards were used). Sharp stones or bits of iron were attached to the cylinders to help separate the husks

The master of the house sat down to his meal. As the courses were served, the servents would clear the table as the guests finished eating. During the meal however, the master of the house, folding his napkin and placing it aside his plate, left the room for a period of time. A new

FAITH MUST BE POSITIVE
"Honesty does not come from out of nowhere. It is a product of your moral convictions. But what do you do when your convictions are challenged? It is faith that gives you the strength to go on believing. Though I am a Christian, I respect the religions of others, and I think
