ZERO TO ONE HUNDRED IN A MINUTE!



Zero To One Hundred In A Minute!

Getting one out of two is achievement and the least one can afford. In my better days and form it would have been three out of two.

In case you think there’s some cheating involved here, I will repeat the same feat in real time for you. Believing without seeing is better than hope after defeat!

This road of life demands I always come prepared for anything designed to chip off my good pace. Speed was designed to kill time wasting in order to save time. Really?

Walking jaggedly inside these tired shoes while standing on equally tired feet always feels like cutting corners in a straight road!

Why I never feel as confident when walking and running?  

Zero to one hundred in a minute! Doctors told me that my feet were designed for all kinds of terrain, all I needed was wisdom to apply the correct technique for different surfaces.

Why does contemplation sometimes seem to be at odds with concentration? How prepared do I get after having to push through this blinding mirage baffling my determined mind?

Zero to one hundred in a minute! It takes two to tango does not always involve heckling another person. Having two minds while arriving at the same conclusion never counts for confusion!

Living in a world constantly trapped inside the mold of endless evolution is equally intoxicating. What used to make sense a decade ago no longer applies in today’s phraseology!

Zero to one hundred in a minute. This is how fast you can get your tongue entangled in just a few seconds. The joke is on you if you failed to read the punch line!

If you can’t find anything funny with your calculated and intelligent answers; the question is: Just where have you been in the past decade?

Well, zero to one hundred in a minute is how fast our lives have been turned around by ever advancing technology.

I used to spend hours in the library in the ‘80s and ‘90s just to compile my research or assignment but today?

Zero to one hundred in a minute is all it takes. There’s no need for volumes of encyclopedias any more.

Hey, stop wasting time! Just Google it and like a dove out of the magician’s hat: there’s your answer in sheer seconds!

Zero to one hundred in a minute! For sure, if the whole world population have been taught to count from zero to ten: every person on earth must be a qualified mathematician. Why not?

After all, zero to ten is a complete library, dictionary and glossary of all the numbers we have in this life! If you can count from zero to ten consider yourself a genius!

Zero to one hundred in a minute! Not only are we driving the fastest cars ever made since the evolution of the first car. We are eating fastest fast-cooked food hence we die so fast from zero to one hundred in a minute!

I don’t know about anybody else’s taste buds, is it my mind or just my tongue? I really cannot find any sense when eating microwave-cooked food!

Zero to one hundred in a minute is all it takes to change the common way we use to live nowadays.

When I was a boy, there used to be story-telling times around the fire in the evening. Gone are the simple days!

Zero to one hundred in a minute. These days people need to budget and pay for expensive camps just to listen to stories we heard for free as kids!

Zero to one hundred in a minute! I believe the rise of Artificial Intelligence will rock all common sense out of common people.

Our world is slowly falling into the trap of AI created by men for AI to replace the real meaning of real people!

Failure guaranteed zero to one if you ever tried spend a  day without using your cellphone? Hasta la vista my friends!

MY BABY.... SHE'S ALL I GOT!

Feelings, in whatever mood matter sometimes.. . If I must open the window of my heart and let you see the real backdrop behind this narrative... this is it. After being let down by my first daughter and after we've agreed for her to meet her little sister for the very first time... I was very distraught. She withdrew at the last minute. I went to bed with a very heavy heart. I believe the Spirit whispered inside my sad heart these sweet words in the dead of the night. I tossed and turned as I began to listen to my heart, comforting and propping and lifting me higher than I thought I could ever climb. Everything else is history after this amazing encounter of wrestling with these incredible words and lines in my heart. Waking up the following morning was nothing but a formality as I began to smooth all the way to my last verse. Yes, yes... She's My Baby and She's All I Got ! Reflections, realignment, retracing and recollections of the life spectacled usually incognito to the

IN PURSUIT OF A DREAM!

In Pursuit Of A Dream!   Life is great and life is hard! Life is cruel and life is not fair! These are some of the most common overtones heard daily from Space. If the Almighty were to afford you a rare chance to sit on top of the Globe for one day: you like God, will hear these conjectures coming from the corridors of life below.   We live in the noisiest and the most congested Planet as humans. If God had offered a choice to parents in which Planet, they’d wish to have their babies born. Our population would not have risen to Eight Billion Souls as it were.   There are thousands of adverbs used to describe the very life we’re all part of. Life is subject to individual’s interpretation the same had gone through this twisting and endless labyrinth of Human Race and Pilgrimage to nowhere .   Once upon a time. In the busiest day for parents and their kids, who had excelled after their twelve yearlong school of education and gained their deserved university entrance pass.  Thi

SO, YOU THINK YOU HAVE A COVENANT WITH GOD?

COMMENTS ... Sometimes, to think that I'm in charge of what I write, where and when I like: is just a wish.  Yesterday I wrote a complete Soweto June 16th Uprisings Tribute.. two hours later, I've had to delete the whole thing. Why? Because l had no witness of the Spirit in my heart.  Well, that's just me! God gave me all these Thoughts and Words to play with the rest of my life. I have gazillion words to play around with.  This narrative came over me early this morning. I felt like God was reminding me of the Covenant between Him and Jesus.  Kenneth Copeland and all the false teachers dance around their mega churches and brag about the Covenant they never had.  I'm always left speechless whenever I see thousands run behind false teachers and false prophets as if they cannot read the Bible for themselves.  I follow Jesus in His Word and nobody else. I am the addict of the Doctrine of Christ!  Nothing fascinates and moves my heart and soul like the anointed Word of God!
