Good company, Bad morals
Posted: March 19, 2010, 3:54 pm by From Deep
There is no neutral space, you influence or get influenced- linda ochola. This thought came alive on Friday morning when I answered a phone call at 6.30pm from a friend I hike a ride with in the morning. Being too far from our usual meeting place I decided to let her go, realising how easy it is for me to ride on her good grace and as a result water down her discipline of time.
She was slowly slipping to create an allowance for my bad time keeping which in the end would eventually creep in to become part of her character. Lateness was a guarantee no matter how early she woke up so long as she was in my company and therefore I made a resolve to grant her permission to zoom off with a smile.
I am letting good company ruin my bad morals

A mystery solved
Posted: March 15, 2010, 4:41 pm by From Deep
I have never met a poor man who has regard for time nor a rich man who disregards time.- anonymous - until I confirm this with a friend who enlightened me about this profound truth. It feels like the proper fix for all the mystery that surrounds time. I replay it in my mind every other time of the day to remind myself that my destiny is influenced by my choices. The stewardship of time or lack of it thereof is an indicator of an innate disposition that needs commendation or an overhaul. -
Dine and Dance
Posted: March 10, 2010, 2:23 pm by From Deep
I stumbled on the season finale episode of a show that got my attention for about one hour this past weekend. It was a group of about fifteen individuals whose lives were transformed, their before and after photos were worlds apart because they applied themselves to dancing and eating right. The winner of the show had lost about 40kgs while the group all together lost about 300Kgs in a matter of weeks.
Today I a start my week challenged about the diet and exercises I am engaged in so I can be transformed all round starting with my spiritual onto my physical, intellectual, mental, relational, ministry lifestyle. Will I emerge as the one who won the heart the people and found favour before God because I applied myself in his word and started living a life that showed evidence of true transformation?
Jesus narrates about the fatal journey of seeds that planted by a farmer except for a select few that landed on fertile soil grew to bear fruit. Some of these that grew on fertile ground bore thirty, some sixty and some one hundred folds depending on how they applied themselves.
This is the day that I make a decision to dance and dine right all the way to living a fruitful life tucked in divine principles. I pray that you too will become that fertile ground that produces much fruit.
Fertile soil dude,
Blah blah blah
Fish cakes
Alas a fish cake.
Yet more fish cakes
Guess what ... yeah ... fish cakes.
The end of the fish cakes
