LET US PONDER

Many of us party hard, study hard, and do lots of things to build our legacies, histories, memories and what we would make reference to in future among our children, subordinates, peers and biographers. But what history are we writing to tell Jesus on our judgment day. You may tell your son, ‘Do you think you can smoke and I will not know because you licked candy sweets afterwards? I know all those tricks!’ or would a woman tell her students, ‘Do you think you can write answers on your thigh, and use them in the exam hall without my knowing? I know all those tricks!’ What about when old men gather among themselves for some festivity? Do they brag about their yester years when they could gulp spirits  and beer in great quantity, or eat as many plates as were offered them, or how women they took back home after every party? What about when elderly women converge together? Do they talk about how they kept up with every fashion trend in their younger days, or the number of men whose money they took in scam, or how they ‘jokingly’ spread false rumours and gossips about people they did not like?

What are we going to look back and say, either now or before your Judge and Saviour, Jesus Christ? What you are doing, saying or thinking about now may be fun and seemingly harmless, you may think that it is your time, or it goes with the age and stage, but seriously you can choose what kind of memories you want to savour and share in your future.

WHAT DO YOU REASON ABOUT THIS?

#NextGeneration Stories

Cherokee Legend Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage? His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone.  He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help from anyone.  Once he survives the night, he is a MAN. He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own. The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some humans might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man! Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him.    He had been at watch the entire night, p...

Why Do You Smoke?

6 personalized approaches to quitting forever.  Everyone smokes—and quits—for different reasons, and the key to getting smoke-free for life is to find out why you are smoking and then change those behaviors. If you are a Recreational or Social Smoker, you may feel that your limited smoking poses no serious medical harm to yourself or others. You may, however, ignore warning signs that your occasional smoking is progressing into addiction, especially during periods of stress or increased alcohol use. A periodic review of these warning signs may help motivate you to consider becoming smoke-free. The Scared-to-Quit Smoker has no end of reasons (excuses) to put off going smoke-free to some future date. Sometimes it helps to focus on just quitting for one day. If you can quit for a day, you can quit every day. This realization can be a great confidence builder, and helps to decrease your fears about not smoking “ever again.” Forever is too big a word for many addicts; thus the old adage...
