Social media the cause of our cultural loss by - @damilo

Do you remember the old times? The times of sitting around tables and having those intimate times as friends….

Through crazy mistakes, bad marriages, difficulties in life, differing political views, cross-country jobs and moves. Through out life. There was always the Table.

How about this present age of social media, has it torn us apart or brought us closer than did the table? Are we are so electronically connected yet emotionally disconnected. Read @damilo’s very deep reaching reflection on the same.

2. Why is Africa important to me… by - @purchasesbd

Africa is wealthily gifted with both human and material resources….but why is there still want and lack in Africa? Why despite the labor surplus are our people still in hunger?

In this very powerful write, @purchasesbd renditions this unfortunate African reality, in a post written with admirable depth, and touches on the vast possibilities and potential that could yet be exploited.

Parenting

4. Fatherhood by - @tonnyrutakirwa

The other day was mother’s day! One of those days when we pay special tribute to the givers of life! The keepers of our families. How about fathers? Well, every day is apparently father’s day!

In this post, @tonnyrutakirwa pays special tribute to his father, and tells of the fights and all those many father-son frictions we all live through but which ultimately come to define us.

Gardening

5. My Organic Plants by - @sweetcnw

Organic agriculture confers several health advantages, especially where it involves vegetables, and is highly encouraged. Undertaking and successfully doing is however is no easy task.

Even so, it is not impossible, as @sweetcnw shows in this post, where she lists, pictorially, some of her home grown vegetables.

Christianity

6. What God Teaches by - @elpastor

The bible says in 1 John 4:19- We love because he first loved us! Whether it be carnal or agape love, we all just about know the importance of love. That love, @elpastor in this post tells of, must start with love of our selves!

This is a short, but inspiring, and educative write on God’s love, especially on how it relates to us. @elpastor’s rendition of a personal experience is certainly something you want to read.

Cars
