We are all linked...

 we are all linked

if you just check

a lone aircraft goes down

in dusty hills of a remote county

with it, 9 people succumb

we get the news in the office

all are in shock 

hoping there are survivors!

but alas!

news spreads fast

names of family members emerge

the wife of the General...

i knew of her years ago!

one of the soldiers

is father to my sons former classmate

the ceremony for the main man is quick and brief

simple in life and in death

i watch it like i personally know the family

the grief is palpable

L I F E

may their souls be received in paradise

amen.

Power of Alignment!

The world was treated to a spectacular celestial display of the solar eclipse on April 8 2024 - that was very visible in Northern America

Today (16.4.2024) I listened to a daily reflection which noted that the solar eclipse reminded him of the power of alignment!

and indeed the Bible tells us in Matthew 18:20 that for where two or three are gathered together in my name, I am there among them (NRSV). This is a promise from God - that if we align our prayers with Gods purpose for us, then He will be among us and respond to the desires of our hearts in His own perfect way!

May we be aligned with God our creator, now and forever! Amen

Sr Rita..Mukumu fraternity..

 Sr Rita Itebete has rested.

She was part of Mukumu Girls High School from 1978 to 2002 (or thereabout) - 24 solid years - as  a teacher and the an indomitable Principal.

A whatsapp group was formed by alumnae and the first one quickly became full (1025 pax) and a second one was started. 

I have immensely enjoyed the memories being posted by girls in the wall - from those who knew her in the 70s to the recent ones in the early 2000s. Imagine that...all of them testify of the positive impact she had in their lives especially around taking pride of who they are! wow....LEGEND!

I was in the primary section for 3 (short or long) years from 1986 to 1988 and when i heard of the news, i wondered why i remembered her and I even thought she was in the primary school section - turns out I was reliably informed that she was like in charge of the Mukumu complex - so included the primary school...so thats how I knew of her

Rest well Sr Rita

''Heroes get remembered, but Legends never die!' by Babe Ruth

You have fought the good fight

You have finished the race

You have kept the faith

(2 Timothy 4: 7-8)

Eternal rest grant to Sr Rita Oh Lord

and May Perpetual Light shine upon her

May she rest in eternal peace, Amen.
