Being the Victor

Facilitating a training session on  "How to benefit from Digital media as students and the need to promote PEACE as young people" My life is victory personified. My dad believes in winning against all odds. My mum always has her hopes up high and ready to accommodate the aroma of victory from the heavens. My sisters know that tomorrow is never promised until you win today. It means that each of us has our very own battles to win daily. We consolidate our little victories. Thus, the family defines what it means to live while knowing that grace is sufficient for us.  Till we succeed, we shall continue to persist through perseverance with our mustard faith.  We are not superhumans; we are the family and together we achieve a lot. In our peculiarities, we strive to communion in this journey while supporting each other. Reaffirming that in our weakest moments, we have ourselves. Yes, we are the family. Life, as it unfolds, has many facets to it. I am planning to tell my D...

In 2020...

We defied the odds. We make history in the present. 'Normal' is a thing of the past. Together means miles apart. Not all theories are not potent. The context is valuable content. Our survival remains constant. The reality means your breath intake is consistent. The wall is the law. A winning trump card is forbidden. And home shielded us from the omen. We understood that all things are possible. Although apart, we were more unified. Unquenchable flames were ignited in the youths. Productivity in our beds became the best option. We lived even when death looked us right in the eyes. The old generation came to appreciate the "demonic" technology. We realised profiteering was not the way of only the rich. The selfish attitudes of the yesterday are the survival tactics of today. The youth exuberance came with a new vibe. We held rallies and turned tables. We got beaten, burned, broken and barred. Then we were left with our dreams to wear on our sleeves. To all the fallen so...

I want to go back

I want to go back I want to go back to Ghana where I can play in the sand When the time had no direction and we had nothing to worry about; it was worth it. Just so you know, the hourglasses had no sand And we would have every reason to gaze in awe of the moon while lying on our back There were times when we did not know how to react to the beats from the band Talk of "we are going; heaven knows where we are going"  a tune from way back Please put the cassette on replay, I want to listen to the Osibisa band. Gosh, I want to go back I want to go back I want to go back to the days I had no worries In my childhood when I could play till dusk When families were always together In one piece, we peacefully gathered around the dancing flames And friends stuck with each other even in the withered storms To those days when grandpa was our hero And the father was hailed by all when he came back from hunting, accompanied by bush meat To those days befo...

PEACE EQUALS LIFE

IMCS PAX ROMANA PAX GHANA PEACE PROJECT (PAGHAPP) MESSAGE FOR THIS YEAR, 2016 “The mountains and hills may crumble, but my love for you will never end; I will keep forever my promise of peace. So says the Lord who loves you” (Isaiah 54:10). Peace is a necessity.  It is a prerequisite to every final decision and step that to be taken. What more could a community search for? We as a people can fend for ourselves, if they leaders (political parties) believe we need assistance in these days, then it should not be on disguised conditions. In those days and months past, they had much more room to have supported us to make our livelihood better. We know the difference between the sunlight and lanterns. Whereas they pretended not to have been aware of our various needs over the years, we cannot compromise now. Please do not make the generation suffer your nuisance and negligence. Over the years, our leaders in Ghana have in one or another, maltreated and denied us the citiz...

Giving the giver that gives you peace and love from the bosom of the size-less heart all the praise  We are matching up to the ends of the earth to make sure that our task of discipleship really goes aboard; this is the title of our hymn “LIBERATION FOR PEACE”    The Holy Spirit knows boundaries; he cannot be limited in his own jurisdiction. So moving on to proclaim that which we have been taught by the teacher, we shall spearhead the action and affirm someday to come “THAT CHRIST MAY BE IN ALL” Not forgetting to promote the student Apostolate among students in higher education, in the Church’s mission and in the world; we came into existence to continue preaching and teaching the word that have life in itself to manifest wonderful and marvelous things according to the Will of the creator, Our Father... Moreover we recognize and work with all concerned men and women for joint action and reflection leading to a more just and equitable social order a...
