Reading 1 JER 2:1-3, 7-8, 12-13 This word of the LORD came to me: Go, cry out this message for Jerusalem to hear! I remember the devotion of your youth, how you loved me as a bride, Following me in the desert, in a land unsown.

Holy Humour Brain Wash A father is in church with three of his young children, including his five-year-old daughter. As was customary, he sat in the very front row so that the children could properly witness the service. During this particular service, the minister was performing the baptism of a tiny infant. The little five-year-old girl was taken by this, observing that he was saying something and pouring water over the infant’s head. With a quizzical look on her face, the little girl turned to her father and asked, “Daddy, why is he brainwashing that baby?” Sunday quote Albert Einstein:…
…Continued from Chapter Fourteen. “What did the test kit say?” I asked, picking up the phone. “It’s positive Ebun. I’m pregnant!” She exclaimed between sobs. “Stop crying, please. Just stay put, I’m coming over to your house now.” On my way, I kept thinking about Lekan and the number of times I got an abortion. The pain I had to endure and the scars they left still haunt me till this day. Tola was most likely to do the same, but I wasn’t sure about her courage. I walked into her room and she was crawled up in the corner…

This year, instead of proclaiming something as sweeping as swearing off alcohol until 2020 or going on a vegan diet, it is more effective to structure and focus on achievable resolutions which will impact positively on your well-being and life. For most of us, the beginning of a new year is a time to reflect on how our lives have been progressing and set out goals for our self-improvement and personal advancement. While it is very easy to make resolutions, it is not as easy to keep them. So, what can we do to give ourselves half a chance of…

I’m scrolling through Instagram, hashtag Bret Kavanaugh, in a bid to follow the trail of the headlined story and what recurrently comes up are images and videos of enraged women of all races wielding placards with…
Heather Honoré Goltz, University of Houston-Downtown and Matthew Lee Smith, Texas A&M University Humans are sexual beings. This urge does not stop when the clock strikes 60. Or even 90. Young adults may deny older relatives are having sex, but sexual activity is a strong indicator of healthy aging and vitality. In fact, sexual activity is roughly equal to climbing two flights of stairs. Sex education and research use a medical model of sexual health focusing mainly on pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and sexual dysfunctions. However, sexuality is complex. Beyond genitals and Kama Sutra-like positions, it considers sexual and…
