For the love of money ...

I always feel uncomfortable when watching televangelists.They wear too much make-up, they shout at the camera (as if we are all deaf) wave their fingers around, conjure up emotions at the drop of a hat, and milk gullible people for their money.

I mean, switch over to a gospel channel and have a look! The studio back-ground or office is always over-the-top. Suits and clothing are always brand names, and there is always, always a call to buys the latest CD, DVD or book at a discounted price if you call the number on the screen now.

And they sell all kind of trinkets and drivel like blessed oil, holy crosses or mustard seed in a bottle.

But the one below is totally absurd, ridiculous to say the least


And we let him do it. Where are the church leaders and mentors? Why are they keeping quiet, allowing some people making a mockery of Jesus. Non-believers are laughing at the absurdity of what the so-called Christian leaders are saying. 

Where is God and Jesus really in their preacing? Why can the televangelists not leave their fanciful, people pleasing stories and antics and get back to God? But then, on the other hand, that will drop the viewer ratings, bring in less donations and less people to buy the latest CD, DVD or book, or whatever 'blessed' lucky charm they have to sell.

Would His Word still be enough for his people to come together?” (Radical)"

Cooking Therapy

Recently, (the past year) I started cooking more and more, not only the basic home food, but some complicated dishes as well. And I enjoy it, I find it relaxing. When I am busy preparing something, I do not have time to thing about anything else. Cooking sort of became a necessity because my wife got provincial colours in Taekwondo and is preparing to attend the World Championships. She would take the meat out of the fridge in the afternoon, or start the dish and quite often I would prepare what I like or finish off the dish, ready when they return from their training session in the evening. But my cooking did not start off by accident. I spent two years in Mozambique as an expat where I had to cook for myself, and there I learnt the usefulness of a slow-cooker. Then in June 2014 I experienced a episode of burn-out. Big Time! Burn-out occurs when you are under prolonged stress and is characterised by total exhaustion, (physical, emotional and mental). You tend to loose interest ...
