Our Great Dads
Thank God for dads. Anyone can be a father (sperm donor), but it takes someone special to be a dad. The best thing a dad can do for his children is to love their mother. Research tells us that children have happier lives when their fathers spend time with them. Children do better in school and are less rebellious when fathers are involved in their lives. Dads are not just substitute moms.

Of Drunkenness, Anger and True Beauty
So King Ahasuerus, doubtlessly drunk, is throwing a party, and things are going great. Women were needed to make it complete. Beautiful women. “Ah Vashti, where’s Vashti. Someone get me Vashti!” Well Vashti doesn’t come, Ahasuerus gets angry, and is advised to… divorce her, and he does. But as life would have it, we don’t stay drunk and angry forever and the things done during those spells often bring regret. So King Ahasuerus remembers Vashti, and you get a keen sense that he’s sorry. But he’d gone too far and things got really complicated. Implications abound for our Church today.

Minute Details That Matter
Imagine the chagrin and dismay I experienced as I faced this woman who told me blankly that I was just a number to her. I had just come back to the campus of one of my alma maters having represented a government institution at an international conference. When I got back I was greeted with a letter from my mother saying that she was not well. Those were not the days of cells phones, and we didn’t have a regular landline phone at home, so I couldn’t call her up and find out how she was doing. I needed to go home. The facility was on a campus-wide lockdown, due to some disciplinary issues, so I had to seek special permission to be allowed to go home. I took the letter, went in to see the lady in charge, and presented my case. She was however not to be persuaded and to my intensified plea, she informed me that to her I was just a number. With that I promptly left her office, packed my bags and went to see my mother. I didn’t care whether or not I finished the programme then. Thank God however, I did.
