Holy Humour Thou Shall Not Kill A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her young charges. After explaining the commandment to “Honor thy father and thy mother,” she asked, “Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?” Without missing a beat, one little boy answered, “Thou shall not kill!” Sunday Quote “See, the problem is that God gives men a brain and a penis, and only enough blood to run one at a time”. – Robin Williams The Sunday Joke How to Get to Heaven?

He is the word spread across the papers loosely spread with all the inks and stains With all the flowers and thorns He still lives. No one could describe him For all descriptions are fatal But, his unwavering innocence, so pure and contagious you can inhale He is our bread and he butters it We feed on him – like moths sip flower nectar. He is our anchor, so strong and tall He is the pillar we use for support And I am scared how much he would last But I know even pillars could break For the burden seems…
On the threshold of the new year 2019, we publish today a Sermon preached by Rev. Fr. Okanmi on Wednesday, December 12, 2018 to remind us that it is important for us to go into the new year with the sure and certain confidence that God is able and that if we put our confidence, trust and hope in him he will bless us in 2019 and always. FOR indeed – “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary, and they shall walk, and…
The popular On Air and TV Personality cum businesswoman who has been dubbed controversial in the past for several reasons has achieved measurable success despite the ton of hate and negativity hurled her way.

…Continued from Chapter Twelve. As we kissed he put his arms around me and squeezed tight, making me feel warm and safe. I pressed my chest against his, as he slid his hands into my blouse in search of my aroused bosom. We were by the corner of the house where no one could see us but I wasn’t planning to risk being seen by my nosey neighbours so I withdrew from him. “What’s the problem, did I do something wrong,” he asked. “No. It’s not you; I just don’t want the neighbours to see us, that’s all.” For some…
The New Year for all intents and purposes introduces the opportunity for a new beginning and change. It’s that time of the year when you review your life and decide if changes are necessary. We believe change is always a necessity especially when it comes to style. And, no, it’s not about fitting into the approved standard of fashion or following unchecked trends, instead, it’s about evolving into a better version of yourself, style-wise. Change, though necessary, is never easy. We hold on to our old self like white on rice because… who doesn’t love comfort zones? If you, like…

Gil Greengross, Aberystwyth University A sense of humour is an attractive trait. There is abundant cross cultural evidence that shows that being funny makes you more desirable as a mate, especially if you are a man. But once the initial flirting is over, and you are in a romantic relationship, how large a role does humour play? For dating couples, use of positive humour (for example, using humour to cheer up your date) can positively contribute to relationship satisfaction. The use of aggressive humour, on the other hand (teasing and making fun of your partner) has the opposite effect. These…

My Darling Daughter, A friend sent me this excerpt of something he had read in a bid to urge me to stick to our arrangement to complete an agreed assignment by a given date. “It was the age of Antarctic exploration, and the South Pole represented one of the last uncharted areas in the world. In 1911, two explorers, Amundsen and Scott, embarked on a race against each other to become the first known human beings to set foot upon the southernmost point of Earth. Amundsen wished to plant the Norwegian flag there on behalf of his country, while Scott…
