The Seeing Blind
“…then some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said to Him, “Are we blind also?” Recently, I had to eat the humble pie. It was not as dramatic as you’re probably imagining it to be. 🌚 I met someone a few days ago. We got talking and I was so…

Roses are red…
…heartbreaks are blue The first Valentine’s Day gift I received was in SS 2, from a sweet gal who sat in front of me. It was an impromptu thing. “I think we should be each other’s Val.” I received a necklace that I wore till it faded. It was my first and only valentine’s day…

Psyching God
I can’t really remember what I was doing but I was busy. I think I was either washing plates or clothes, or I was cooking. Something that required me stepping out of the room. I had just come in to grab something quickly when I heard the tiktok video my roommate was watching. In the…

Coloring outside the lines
James 1:2 NKJVMy brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials. I think James’ choice of words is quite peculiar. Fall. Various trials. How many of you have ever had a graceful fall? You know, you are walking on the street like you own every building on the sidewalk, when your ankle…

The Pot At The End of The Rainbow
The most important being on earth apart from God is you. The first time I heard that, I was scandalized. What the hell do you mean by that? I am that important? Years ago, God told me that after his opinion, what matters next in line is mine. Now, you might be thinking that I…

Fiction is fiction and life… well, life is not
Recently I said to my friend, “omo, we authors, we dey lieeeee.” (Just in case you didn’t know, I am an author. I write stories and poems.) When I said that, the Holy Spirit said “the whole idea of fiction is a make-believe. Creating what is not existent in the real world — what you…
