Lost
from » ‎ Carlo - Wordpress

Tags: [edit]

Lost in not trying to feel, in forgetting, in holding back the tears. Depending on you was all I knew, everything around me was somehow linked to you, and now I’m lost. The worst part is how inappropriately the tears come. Every time I pass by the road to your home, I feel the back [...] Read Full Post

Be Still My Heart . . .
from » ‎ Carlo - Wordpress

Tags: [edit]

Living a life of no regret is really great. You make decisions and you know what the consequences will be so you choose whichever path. If it turns out bad for you, you know it was inevitable, and if it turns out well then great. But there are times you make a decision and it [...] Read Full Post

Almost, thou persuadest me to be a Christian.
from » ‎ Carlo - Wordpress

Tags: [edit]

Reading the book of Acts is interesting. No, go home and read it, and tell me how you’re not fascinated. The church today is not like it was back then, we don’t have that fervour and that zeal, that certainty that the world’s coming to an end in our generation so we need to make [...] Read Full Post

Culinary Skills
from » ‎ Carlo - Wordpress

Tags: [edit]

I have decided that I need to hone my culinary skills. In so doing, I have downloaded and googled quite a number of recipes and tried to follow them to a T. My first try did not turn out well at all because we did not have Campbell’s soup and the chicken was far less [...] Read Full Post

Growing up is one of those things we don’t think much about, we know that we will grow. After all, don’t we celebrate a birthday each year? But what happens while we grow up is vastly different for each and every person, even though they are siblings and grow up in the same house with [...] Read Full Post

Why I stopped worrying

Tags: [edit]

Matthew 6:25-34 reads thus: 25Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 26Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow [...] Read Full Post

What’s so bad about ’sin’? – by Ishta Nandi
from » ‎ Carlo - Wordpress

Tags: [edit]

My sister wrote this and I think the world needs to read it: What’s wrong with sin? A few weeks ago, I watched a BBC3 documentary titled ‘The most dangerous place in the world to be a woman.’ My stomach churned as I listened to this Congolese woman recount the horrid way in which rebels [...] Read Full Post

Passover, Seder, History, The Old Testament . . .
from » ‎ Carlo - Wordpress

Tags: [edit]

Two weeks ago, I got an invitation to a Passover dinner at my friend’s house. These two Jewish girls were celebrating their favourite holiday and decided to do it big. Now I’ve never been to a Passover and I’ve only read about it in the Bible and everyone kept referring to it as Seder. I [...] Read Full Post

A Teaching Opportunity

Tags: [edit]

As a mother, it must be real hard to raise your children the right way and teach them how to live their lives while letting them actually live their lives. You want them to know what is right, but also to be able to make correct decisions when put in a compromising situation. What my [...] Read Full Post

That stuff about God spoils it.
from » ‎ Carlo - Wordpress

Tags: [edit]

My sister wrote a beautiful and insightful article about men and cheating here. Read it, it’s honestly beyond her very few years and it makes you think. Anyway, I was talking about it with a friend later that evening and he went on in praise of her good arguments except that ‘that stuff about God [...] Read Full Post

When I was but a wee lassie still in the Youth Sunday School, we got a really cool teacher who came in from the US. Our pastor’s wife was usually our teacher and the age difference was felt a lot of the time. So this was a younger lady who we thought was really cool. [...] Read Full Post

The Invention of Lying
from » ‎ Carlo - Wordpress

Tags: [edit]

I watched this movie recently. It’s called ‘The Invention of Lying’. Basically, this guy lives in a world where everyone is extremely honest, they only speak the truth regardless. And then he tells one lie and well, he starts to lie easier. So he invents a story about the afterlife at his mother’s deathbed and [...] Read Full Post

There’s something about the new year that brings a resolve in us to be better. We resolve to do better by our bodies (in my case my vegetarianism lasted until dinner on the 1st of January), to do better by our families (I didn’t even call my dad to wish him a happy new year [...] Read Full Post

The Power of Prayer
from » ‎ Carlo - Wordpress

Tags: [edit]

There are times we get on our knees and ask God for something and all the while we’re thinking, ‘yeah right, my neighbour will never come to the knowledge of Christ, he is too hardheaded’ and then God surpises us and grants our prayer requests. I was very surprised when I prayed and fasted for [...] Read Full Post

It’s been too long
from » ‎ Carlo - Wordpress

Tags: [edit]

I’ve always been bad with faces. And names sometimes. Nowadays I make excuses and say it’s agnosia, a condition I found online. But maybe it isn’t and I end up beating myself over it, over not remembering the one guy I met once who remembers my name and I have no idea whether I’ve met [...] Read Full Post

I seem to be misunderstood a lot lately. Don’t ask me why because I also want to ask me why. You say one thing and someone else hears another thing. Not you honey, you’re fine. Me. I say one thing . . . So I’ve taken to shutting up and enveloping my personality in silence. [...] Read Full Post

Now ladies and gentlemen, don’t get your knickers in a bunch because I mentioned this tool of the antichrist.
