Will you marry me? (1)

Paul went down on one knee and held my hand ever so lightly as he slipped a beautiful engagement ring on my finger. I could see the Diamond glittering in the morning sun. Read more
Did you agree before getting married?
Did you agree before you got married?
Well, what kind of a question is that? Of course, you agreed. I mean, you’re married aren’t you? Would you be married if you hadn’t agreed?
Hold your horses! You see, over the years I have discovered that most couples that end up in failing or failed marriages didn’t really agree before they got married.

7 Ways to Celebrate Christmas!
It’s Christmas again! Time does fly doesn’t it? It’s a wonderful year for me and I sure hope you’ve had a great year too.
So, how do you plan to spend your Christmas? Here are a few ideas for guys dating or courting.
1. Go to church (if you are a Christian) after all, what we are celebrating is the birth of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. After the service, go home to your family, have a nice lunch, call your heartthrob on the phone and sing a few carols to her (make sure your Carols are the short ones or you’ll be starting the new year in debt!)

Married to a huricanne?
Lucky tossed to and fro on the bed trying to catch some sleep. He had the 2 hp Air conditioner on full blast but it didn’t help, no, not this time. His mind was deeply troubled. Maria had just stormed out of the room in a fit, after another heated argument, almost yanking the door from its hinges, by the force of the jam!
A few years back, earlier in the marriage, Lucky would have rushed after her to placate and bring her back to bed. Now he had simply turned off the lights and crashed on the bed pulling the cover over his head. He really didn’t care that much anymore! Read more
Love? I Think Not!
One of my younger friends came to see me the other day. Sitting with a glass of freshly squeezed Orange juice, she looked lovely in her navy blue stripped suit. I could tell that she was in very high spirits as we chatted for a while. I didn’t have to wonder for long about her joyful disposition. A call came in on her handset and I saw her face literally light up as she took the call.
‘Hello, Sweet-heart’
‘No I’m with a friend’
‘Yes, darling’
‘I love you too’ Read more
No sparks at all?
Sited at the back of the Bus, Sheila was completely oblivious of her immediate surroundings. It was 7:00pm in the evening but the Sun was still up! It was summer and everyone wanted to take in as much sun as they could. Shoppers milled in and out of shops along the crowded street wearing flimsy clothing of various degrees.
‘Excuse me’
Standing beside Stella, was an old lady who wanted to get into the seat beside Sheila. Sheila didn’t take any notice until the old Lady gently tapped her shoulder. Read more
Where did I go wrong?
Angela stood examining her husband’s shirt for close to two minutes. She wasn’t mistaken. The red stains were lipstick stains! She sniffed at the shirt. Strange perfume!
She dropped the shirt on the Laundry pile and sank into the dirty pile. She felt so weak, she just had to sit down!
Soon, lying on the clothes, completely oblivious of her environment, gentle tears ran down her pretty face wetting the clothes with stains no washing powder could ever erase from her memory.
This had to be the end of three years of heart break and pain. Read more
What goes round…!
The time was a little past 9:00 pm as we stepped out of the Bus Station. I was dog-tired and I couldn’t wait to get back home.
“I don’t know why these Pastors can’t understand that most of us are working folks” Martha, my flat mate, complained as we headed for our flat.
The mid-week service at our Church had lasted a little over two hours and I could understand why she was aggravated. She worked at the Underground and she had to be up by 3.00 am in the morning!
“I really don’t agree with most of what the Pastor was saying just now, you know,” Martha continued. “Sometimes, I think Pastors are out to make sure we don’t get to have any fun at all. I don’t really believe all this stuff about sowing and reaping. Look, there are a lot of girls who played around when we were in school. They are now happily married. I didn’t play around, I’m 28 and I’m still single. What do you make of that?” Read more

Love me my own way!
Adolf looked at me in utter bewilderment. He opened his mouth to speak twice but no words came! He was, as they say, flabbergasted!
His wife on the other hand was quite calm. She fixed her gaze on a spot on the ceiling and tapped a finger on the arm of her chair rhythmically!
I knew I had to calm Adolf down. He was German and he was quite upset, to put it mildly.
‘I still think this is something that can be sorted out’, I offered.
