Hey guys,
What a while it has been!
I never thought I'd have to be away from this space as long as I've been, but I guess sometimes, life just happens. I'm not gonna bore you with my busy work life and all that's been going on, I'm just gonna stick with the fact that it sure feels good to be back on here!
Earlier today, being the resurrection day, I thought of what to write about the cross..,and I realized that sometimes, we don't have to go too deep to bring out certain truths. Sometimes, its okay to run your fingers on the surface and glaze through what lies on there, because in truth, even a surface should be so sharp you get bleeding fingers.
A couple of days ago, In attempts to get rid of some of my achieves, I stumbled on a dress I wore to a friend's birthday dinner a few years back and surprisingly, I vividly remember the funny event that took place that day.
We had all gathered for the meal, and were asked to place our order for drinks accordingly. Shortly before I placed mine, this guy opposite me, who had (as at then), recently returned from the UK, had grabbed on all the munches initially placed on the table for 10, taken off his cap, his tie and finally, his Suit. Dude seemed to have been ready for the dinner since the day before. To confirm my suspecion, he requested for a glass of mojito and added "One large please". This was minutes after his first drink order of Chapman was placed. To think that was deep, the food menu came and he began with the appetizers, of which his consisted of some honey glazed chicken wings, prawns and Mayo spring rolls and some waffles. As if that wasn't enough, he requested for a chicken curry sauce alongside a bowl of steamed rice for his main course, some spare ribs and crispy chips to go with it. We all ate and chatted with eachother, as he drew more attention to himself from the way he kept ordering for more drinks and trying to have a taste of both his neighbours' food. When the feast was finally over, dude turned red from the surprise on his face when we were asked to sort out our bills individually.
All long he thought the celebrant was to pay the bills like its usually done in the UK, but unfortunately for him, that wasn't the case and so he had to face the consequences.
Greed doesn't pay!! Jesus thought about you when he died on the cross. Always think about others not just yourselves.
Happy Easter.
