EASTER BLUES

While many are talking about the Easter Bunny, I am writing about Easter Blues :).  Blues as in a kind of music genre, not a feeling of melancholy.  I am in a singing and dancing mood; hence the figurative reference to a music form.
 
Easter is a few days away!
 
I am excited to be celebrating our risen Lord and Savior. The One in whom I live, move and have my being. My Father. If not for the Lord.... Thank you Abba (Father) for Jesus. Thank you Jesus for your finished work on the cross.

GIFT OF THE GAB

One thing I don't have is the gift of the gab. I must admit that in some situations I had wished I did. An illustration: About an hour before  I closed from work, I was coming from washing two apples when my manager saw me. "Faith, are you going to eat both?" he asked. "You can have one," I replied and  added, "Always forgot I had them."  Then he said, "You must have been extremely busy with work." Some people would have used the opportunity to "sell" themselves - which isn't a bad thing - but, as usual, not me.

Games of Innuendos

The Hunger Games has been trending both as a novel and since March 23, as a movie. I am not going to write a detailed or pseudo review of this literary work that has caught and retained global attention. Just saying "Thank you" for getting my analytical mind to attempt a dissection of the word 'game'. I am not by any chance referring to any Dissection Game such as the Salmon Dissection Game. Okay, in case you are wondering, this isn't biology, stylistic analysis or literary criticism.  What about semantics? Yes, some.

WOMEN OF HONOR

Today is International Women's Day. It is a day to celebrate womanhood. For me, womanhood is synonymous with nurturing, caring, loving, building, giving, growth and strength. It is often said that what a child becomes is credited to the mother because every good mother makes the upbringing of her kid her priority. To all moms out there, I commend you for the great work you are doing raising your children. A mother`s love.... I know of an African woman who had an opportunity to go to the UK for her doctoral degree but she turned it down because she couldn`t take her kids along.
