The Marriage Institution Vs The Married Person
I would have wanted to write about this later in life, but what I read from Caroline Kangogo’s death have left me with no option. I grasp things slowly; apologies for bringing this up later after you’re almost forgetting her. In this case I will write about the MARRIAGE institution. Let’s talk as individuals; society […]

MY MARRIAGE IDENTITY
One Wednesday evening, April 2019, I walked into All Saints Cathedral. The Alabastron Network Trust had an open day then. A dear friend had suggested I should attend their renewing self programme, she’s very blunt and the choice was mine to make. So this evening I crept in, smoothed nothing off my derriere and slumped […]

ENABLERS OF DOMESTIC ABUSE
Often than not we’ve found ourselves propagating, embracing, worshipping, enabling and providing a healthy environment for abuse to thrive. Sometimes out of ignorance, sometimes because it’s what we’ve been conditioned to since time immemorial and sometimes we just don’t give a damn. I was an enabler too, because I lacked knowledge. But when I […]

Effects of Domestic Abuse on the Spiritual Life of a Woman
Having drawn from the wells of older women, I learnt that women are the gatekeepers. Gate keepers of their lives. Gate keepers of their homes. Gate keepers of the society.

EFFECTS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ON CHILDREN
So today, I have pushed myself to write on the above subject. Today I might be sketchy and jumpy but in future I will have the courage be clearer.

I still left; even after praying and waiting…

We walked into church looking […]

THE PLACE OF SURRENDER (PART 2)
… Still on Hannah and Penninah story, I love the lessons am encountering in the story of these cowives, I wonder why Elkana married Peninah if he loved Hannah so much. Mbu “Don’t I mean more to you than ten sons! eeeh” The other house was full but with a morsel of love if any,Hannah’s […]

AT THE PLACE OF SURRENDER (PART 1)
So Peninnah would taunt Hannah and make fun of her because the Lord had kept her from having children. Year after year it was the same—Peninnah would taunt Hannah as they went to the Tabernacle. Each time, Hannah would be reduced to tears and would not even eat. (1 Samuel 1:6-7 NLT) “Oh no, sir!” […]

THERE’S NO QUOTATION FOR LOVE
I know you’re already thinking about Covid variant Omicron, or maybe Christmas and here I am entertaining thoughts of love. Yes that love that ukambani sun scorched out of Lilian and Alfred, I won’t use a title on the latter, love dishonors all titles. I digest matters slowly so it’s today that I thought of […]

The Fair Weather Christians
I love a good warm weather that doesn’t inhibit my activities; one that doesn’t affect my mood in any way. But again there are different ways of dressing as the weather changes, maybe I fear changes, I should get used to the changing weather and the micro climates that have intruded the kinds of climates we learnt […]
