Hunger,Oh, Hunger!

Hi All,

Ok, so maybe it's time for a little confession. Well, I'm not quite sure if it's a sin but in my last post I nicely left out telling you some things about my "forced diet". I'm feeling very "sin conscious this morning" so I'm going to bare it all!
First, I failed to talk about the hunger, Yikes! Only a strict medical order would have made me endure that type of hunger for so long. Even when I fasted for over forty days sometime ago, I didn't feel that hungry. Hunger that made me feel like buying Agege bread at Lekki phase 1 gate every morning, hunger that made me salivate at the sight of pap; hunger that made me envy every fat and flourishing person I saw on the streets. Hunger, like I've never known it, I've dreamt up some recipees in these past few weeks that will earn me 'chef of the year award' at any competition. The hunger made me wonder how those people in famine stricken areas must feel. Imagine being hungry to the point where you know it's going to kill you and not being able to do anything about it. The very thought of it, ugh! That's part of why I've decided a part of my every income must go to feeding some hungry person somewhere. I'm not talking big stuff here, just talking about institutionalising something I've always tried to do. Giving a beggar enough money to buy a plate of food or a loaf of bread.Helping a widow to give a child one meal a day. Nothing lofty, nothing fancy, just something to push that nasty thing thing called hunger away........I know hunger, believe me, it has an ugly face! If you feel like joining in please feel free.
I'm in a bit of a melancholy mood this morning; aside from the hunger, I saw a man killed violently in an early morning accident along Admiralty way. It made me think how futile our struggles can be. Like the wise man said, "it's all vanity". We need to put things in perspective and hold on to what's truly important. And with that thought in mind I'm signing off to go look for some food while I can still eat........
Shalom!

Now you see me, now you don't

Hi All,

I like writing, I really do, believe me, but.....if I like it so much how come I find blogging such a chore? As they say, if I knew the answer to that, I'd be...
Anyhow, I like to believe I'm back to form and well on top of my writing again. A lot has happened to me and mine in the recent and not-so-recent past. My brother Sammy, finally got himself a beautiful damsel and is happily married. My first son did me proud with his High School result and he seems to be doing fine aside from a leg in cast which is a story for another day.
Some good news; I'm back to a UK size 14 and dropping fast. A few weeks ago my system shutdown and refused to handle or process any more food due to a blocked intestine(all that heavy eba finally did me in) and I was placed on a liquids/soft diet for six weeks. This came at a time I was quite broke(excuse me? when aren't I broke?) Anyhow, I could barely get by and couldn't afford anything fancy. Boy, did the weight drop off me! I could literally see myself losing fat and flesh. So now my old clothes are hanging on me and looks like a little shopping is in order.
More good news,I am finally ready to relase a book into the market.Not a big novel or anything fancy, just a small Bible stories book rewritten for young readers. I have lofty dreams for it. I hope it gets read and it is appreciated, I hope it SELLS, and I hope it's not pirated. Pray for me will you? I need to do this to move from point A to B. I have others lined up waiting to go to press but a lot is riding on this one. The title? Soon enough my friend!
Shalom!
