To be aggressive is behaving in a very determined and forceful way in order to attain a desired goal. For a talented man to become successful through his talents, he has to learn to wear, look and get immersed into the spirit of aggression and still act with aggressiveness especially for the follower of Christ because Christians are given the power of the Holy spirit by our lord Jesus Christ who himself is a warrior God. And the same Holy Spirit gives us the power of thinking to make worthy positive decisions.
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the father but by me”
(John 14:6)
So the bible, the word of God plainly tells us that there is a way and Jesus is the way -this means that we should never give up because the way is readily available and it also means that God has a plan for those who are willing to step out of the comfort zone, walk the path and work for success. Now what can I do? This is the question that most people ask mostly when they feel they are going down hill and things are not working out, and my answer is clear and simple. Never give up! If there is any thing better in this world then it is never to quit, but rather to keep pressing and pressing on. You know what, dearest? God does not give you the power of the Holy Spirit to quit but keep you going even when it feels harder that you thought it would. Just keep on and God will definitely find on the way. Take for example, Moses never gave up on his journey to the promised land even when he came face to face with the red sea, and what did God do? He surely made a way for him and his people to crossover.
Another good example of aggressiveness is in Luke chapter 5. The two men had to climb up the roof, remove the tiles and lower their sick friend down in the midst of the room from where Jesus was teaching.
“And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before Him. And when they could not find by what way they could bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus”(Luke 5:18-19)
Aggressiveness and determination cannot go unrewarded, “And when Jesus saw their faith, He said unto him, man, thy sins are forgiven thee.” (Luke5:20). Perhaps these two gentlemen were talent in helping the needy and the suffering, and they surely knew what it means to be aggressive. They knew that to have their friend healed they had to do every thing possible including carrying him atop the house. What an act of aggressive faith! But these were not the only ones with that spirit; also that woman who was suffering from a hemorrhage was aggressive to the extent of squeezing herself through a crowd, in order to touch His cloak and be healed.
While you read this, it is also paramount for you to understand that Jesus Himself doesn’t want the kind of spirit that quits. And this is because He’s not a quitter. Now, just imagine, if Jesus abandoned His mission to redeem this world, how would it look like? Why then should you quit? Luke chapter 19 tells yet another story of an aggressive man named Zaccheaus. Zaccheaus had to climb a tree when he realized he couldn’t see Jesus “….because he was little of stature” and he knew exactly where his talent lay. Still to show his appreciation to aggressive ones, Jesus gave Zaccheaus a historical visit. This really shows how God appreciates and rewards those that move out with determination to exercise their talents. So, you don’t need to wait, you have what it takes to become the best. Just wakeup and start on it. One thing to note about the people given as examples here, their aggressive spirit, works together with their determination and personal faith.
During the 2008 Beijing Olympics, American swimmer Michael Phelps set a world record of winning eight gold medals in all eight games. The secret to this overwhelming success is that every day he spends six hours practicing. And that is the kind of the kind of aggressiveness and determination if you are to have success at your disposal. However, to succeed does only mean being aggressive and determined, it also carries an act of faith. Firstly, have Faith in God, because he gave you that talent and ability to succeed. And, secondly, faith in yourself that you can surely make it to the top no matter what.
As if that isn’t enough for the examples, Genesis chapter one shows that God the Father is very aggressive at doing His work. He never stopped to rest a little, not until He finished creating this beautiful world. He is aggressive and determined to finish what He starts at, and so should be the people created in His image.
Quitters are failures. With talent you have to work around the clock to attain success and where it seems harder, press on, because success comes when you dig a little deeper. John Maxwell put it that, “Every person who has become successful has simply formed the habit of doing things that failure dislike doing and will never do” Failures are characterized of many things and no determination and less focus are just a tip. At school, failures never take hid to read and do research with zeal and purpose. At work, they tend to come late and demand to leave just as early as those who came earlier. I was very much surprised but encouraged to learn that Donald Trump goes to bed at 1:00am and jumps out at 5:00am ready for work. No wonder he is a multi billionaire.
Thomas Jefferson is quoted as saying, “Every generation needs a new revolution.” You need to be aggressive at your way of doing things. And John C Maxwell simply but powerfully added, “If your vision-talent-doesn’t cost you something then it a day dream” to which I would like to make conclusion that there is only one time to make a difference in life and that is NOW.
OPPORTUITY VERSUS RESOURCES
Whenever the word opportunity comes to my mind, I quickly remember the words of my friend Ddungu Gaston when he said, “When an opportunity knocks at the door only fools can complain Of the noise it makes while others grab and use it.”
You find that God created this world with a lot of resources and opportunities for us human beings to utilize fully, first, for his glory and for our own development and success. Instead, we live our precious lives groaning and blaming God for our failures. By the way, what is the difference between an opportunity and a resource, and how do I know if there is one at my disposal? An opportunity is time when a particular situation makes it possible for one to do or achieve something while a Resource is something that one can use to help him/her achieve an aim or goals. So you realize that opportunities are timely, they come once at time and may never come again. Yet resources might be available for all the time. Therefore, if you have not been utilizing the surrounding resources, then you are in a total mess created by you. Donald Trump says that only an incompetent person could create and continue the mess but competent ones take their failure as a form of opportunity. Personally, I view failure as success turned upside down and inside out.
The first, free and readily available resource is YOU and the opportunity is the life God gives you. You have that energetic body and the ability in you to make it happen and for success to begin flowing your way. Another opportunity and resource is the environment and surroundings. The almighty father created and placed us in regions where we can best exercise our talents for our success and his glory. It is rare to find competent a swimmer in Karamoja but pastoralists. Uganda is endowed with a good natural environment and two rainy seasons a year, provides her an opportunity for crop growing yet Libya is good at oil mining being in semi-arid region.
Fine, you have the talent but the surrounding bar you from exploiting and developing it for your success. I suggest you move to a place that can facilitate your talent and excellence. Several occasions teams have traveled to Europe for practice in preparation for major tournaments not because Europe is a very nice continent-Africa is better- but because it offers the right conditions for talent development and a step to success. A one but sure way to be successfully is to think success, and one way to have success is to question your surrounding. If the environment and people around you do not offer, an opportunity, then better step off and find a suitable environment less it rots within you.
The book Exodus tells the Israelites’ journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. God saw that the Israelites couldn’t effectively exhaust their God –given talents in Egyptian environment, thus He moved them to where they could worship Him and exhaust there full potentials. In his book Think like a billionaire, Donald Trump writes” Think of your self as a one man army. You are not only the commander in chief; you are the soldier as well. You must plan and execute your plans alone” for success.
Wise men search for more opportunities to add on those they find. Be curious. A successful person is always going to be curious. You have to de alive to your surroundings and hungry to understand your immediate world plus the opportunities they can offer you. If you do not do this then you really lack the perspective to see beyond yourself and abilities. Often ask questions and make research to find out what better opportunity does the new surrounding offer?
However, you should always do this mostly in your line of excellence to avoid self-confusion. It is not bad to know about what is actually happening in other fields though. Nevertheless, this should be done with great care since it might derail you. I know of a friend who is a netball genius, but when she discovered that d basketball is interesting she definitely joined and the next day she was in music but now, she is one of the street comedians in town. The last time we met she told me she is abandoning it to do something else. Isn’t this what the singer Fred Ssebata refers to as gambling? She is actually gambling talent and very soon she will be ‘retired and expired’
Therefore, when it comes to resource utilization and opportunity grabbing you mustn’t be over zealous, though. You cannot be good in all disciplines, you know only God is. What I mean here is that even multi-talented people need mentors to help them find where they are best. But still, such people should be careful while dealing with the mentors remembering that if we listen to others we listen to their dreams and many will not be shy to force their plans and dreams on us, thus the mentor’s job should be to teach you to be independent and guide you along the path to think independently.
Never look down on any opportunity that might run your way however small because in life the seemingly worthless things are the ones worth a huge value. In the world of talent and success they actually little things that really matter, and they are those little steps we make that push us up to the highest pick of a mountain. Take for instance; all believers are descendants of Abraham (Gen 15:5) and a once music-play-boy in King Saul’s palace, David became a powerful king of Israel- more than his predecessor. I know of a man who died form a pimple after surviving serious head injuries. I bring this example as an emphasis to the point of never under looking little things.
While you are trying to cease an opportunity do not fear making blunders, remember only those who do nothing make no mistakes and mistakes are part of the journey to excellence for they offer still another opportunity for you to learn even more. The queen of Hearts in Alice in wonderland once told her servants, “ Never let go of a dream until you are ready to wake up and make it happen” so mistakes shouldn’t shadow you from achieving your dream either. You don’t need to wait for someone to show you an opportunity for they might not. Better look out and then grab and engulf the opportunity. “What if the surrounding doesn’t favor me?” If you feel the place is so pathetic for your talent development and success the better move.
Edmund Hillary- The first man to climb MT Everest told a story. “In a small town an old man lived in the same house for nearly fifty years. One day he surprised he surprised every one by moving next door. When asked why he said, ‘I guess it is the gypsy in me.” Some times you’ve got to act you way without listening to anybody. David never listened to listened to his brothers before he killed Goliath. (1 Sam 17:26-54)
Fruitful opportunities come in several ways and many at times come clothed that we fail to see them with our naked eyes; we need wisdom provided to us by the Holy Spirit.
Dorothy stated as a volunteer at one primary school that never wished to employ her at the end of her volunteer task. Realizing the school had such a limited perimeter yet with out funds to buy land, she put her proposal writing skills at us and secured some money from which land was bought. To cut the long story short, she is the school’s Head mistress today. She made the board realize her potentiality and abilities after they had not thought of her as being all that useful. Now, what would you do if you were in her position, would you wait for the school to consider you before you considered your self? You’ve got to consider your self first and fast.
“If you think you can, you can. And if you cannot you are right.” Said Mary Kay Ash. Thus discover new possibilities for you life when you begin dreaming bigger dreams and living with more faith. Certainly, you will be astonished to discover that you are only an attitude away from success

WHERE CONFIDENCE IS YOUR STRENGTH
1sam 17:45-47 tells the story of young David coming face to face with the huge Goliath in a historical liberating fight between the Israelites and the philistines. 1 kings tells yet another story of confidence in the history of believers.Deuteronomy 31:6-23 also tackles the same subject of confidence not forgetting Luke 10: 62 in the New Testament. You realize some three fundamental issues in all these divine writings.
First, all the the characters had there confidence and trust in Lord.
Second, they were fighting life-changing battles. Life-changing both upon them selves and the life of other people.
Third, they had mother courage and faith along with them.
If you carefully bread the Bible and all the books about success you will agree with me that success and confidence are twine sisters mothered by courage and determination daughter to faith. Moses and Elijah among other prophets exposed the highest degree of confidence in God and themselves as well. God gives you confidence when He gives the talents. Deuteronomy 31: 6-23 gives a clear impression that God loves confidence and gives it for our prosperity and His glorification. He encourages young Joshua to be confident and lead the children of Israel to the promised land.
How many times does the Bible tell us to be confident, have courage and faith in the the lord? Cervantes talks about courage in an amazing way, " He who loses wealth loses much, he who loses a friend loses more but he who loses courage loses all"
You cannot be confident and courageous enough if you still have fear aboard your ship to success. What is that brings fear in your way to success?... then pick up your bones and face it with courage, confidence and determination to kick it off your ship or you'll 'lose all'. Yes, face it, because "when you face what you fear you become fearless". What matters in the world is not the size of a dog in the fight but mainly the size of a fight in the dog.
Successful people have fears as well but they never let such fears overwhelm there performance, they only trust in the lord and this is where there success emerges form.
NINE WAYS TO PICK UP YOUR CONFIDENCE
1.Trust in God.
2. Be honest with your self.
3. Love your self
4. Think positive.
5. Always keep eye contact while talking to someone.
6. Listen and talk.
7. Practice patience.
8. Good body language.
9. Keep good company.

MAKE FRIENDS. NEVER EAT ALONE. HELP OTHERS
In the Bible, there are numerous stories both in the old and new testaments. Some of them we are well acquainted, others we are not, yet they are also interesting and educative as well. Perhaps they carry more or the same meaning like those we very much know.
One of such popular stories is that of the Good Samaritan who painted a good image of his origins –Samaria- Sorry if you have not heard about it yet.
Well, we learn either a lot or little from this story but the major thing is, Helping Others. It is from this that I want to say that in order to be able to help others we need to first get out of our selves. This requires a network of friends, contacts and interest in whatever we do.
Be anxious to knowing the names of those people you meet and try to remember them. Bill Clinton knows this better. While he was still president of US he would meet several people both locals and VIPs, most of whom he was meeting for the first time. In order to remember them he would write there names down on his long list and he did this daily. This means he could not easily forget them and he treated them as friends-One reason why he won many favors among the Americans just like Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln.
You cannot help people while you are reserved, mean and selfish person. If I may ask, how many new people have you talked to today?
Do you know their names? Do you know where they come from? Do you have time to know their potentiality?
Come on, meet at least two new people every week and you make connections with them and you will be surprised to have 104 friends at the end of the year and you will be a company of 105 friends each one with different potentialities ready to share and help one another. Can you imagine!
Remember, each one among these 105 friends has some more other five friends out side the company. Now tell me how friends will you have following the notion “A FRIEND OF A FRIEND IS A FRIEND.” The fact is you will be a network of friends only comparable to the Internet.
I shun people who call them selves “self made.” Actually, no body in this word is self-made. Show me one and I will tell you, “NO MAN IS AN ISLAND” even Jesus needed the twelve disciples.
Generosity is the key to success. It does not actually mean that when you help someone you will become smaller or subject to that person but the fact remains that the more people you help the more help you will receive. Here lies the paradox, Help to be helped.
Take for instance. A student good in mathematics helps others to learn the tricks of solving numbers and equations. In this case very many students will come for help from him but n the process they will be helping him to master and practice even the most difficult equations. Confirming the words of one great speaker, “practice not only makes perfect but permanent” hence passing his exams well. See?
So, it important to bring ourselves to the tradition of introducing, making friends and helping others, without flattering them. Because relationships are built on trust and honesty to thrive. Moreover, the currency of real networking is not greed, but trust honesty and understanding.
MAY GOD BLESS THE WORKS OF MY HANDS AND THE HOPES OF MY DREAMS.

MTN KAMPALA MARATHON 2007
Hullo,
Yesterday I participated in the MTN Kampala Marathon.This is probably the most challenging and the biggest race of the year in Uganda.(it happens every year here in Uganda and this was the fourth time now.)
Over 6000 people participated from within and outside Uganda, from countries like Kenya,Tanzania,Rwanda,Sudan,Djibuti and from other continents like Asia and Europe.
I took part in the 10km race.Thanks be to God,I managed to beat other participants and finished successfully.Of course,not in the first position.But my position tell that Iam a competent perfect runner.see details below;
Race type: 10km.
Race No: 6468
Time:01:00:19
Overall position:1290
Position in open category:1260
Male position:1207.
Wow! I made it. what do you think?The race was mainly dominated by Kenyans.It is yesteday that I got a chance to see the 2006, 5000m world staple chese Gold medalist and record breaker, Dorcus Inzikuru (a ugandan by the way.)and other Africa and world medalists like Moses Kipsiro,Abraham Kiprop,Boneface Kiprop, Kipkimei and kiplagat.(you may wonder why they are all 'kipkip'.they all come from the same region of the country.the eastern and people from this area are well gifted in athletics)
Talking about companies and clubs,they were well represented.For example Stanbic bank,Roofings ltd,Sms media,True african,UHURU Restaurant.(these guys showered us with plenty of fruits), Rwenzori mineral water,Saracen uganda ltd(provided security along side the Uganda Traffic and Police Forces).Media companies were also part of the challenge where radio stations like CBS was represented by Mr Abby Mukiibi (nose master)the programmmes manager,Kato Lubwama (Egg-like eyes),Sheillah Nvannungi(the princess)and Mr Abu Kawenja(huge).Othe radio stations like Radio one,Dembe fm,Radio simba and Radio two also had their employees in this nearly national event.
Oh my,i had forgotten the dramma clubs.How could I?.The Adzido performers and entertainment services took partas well.The club was represented by Kassujja Ibrahim(boxer)who only took 49:55seconds to finish the race as the 663rd person in the 10km race followed by Vincent,Ronnie and Shaffiq.Then, there came the one ane only number one present ME.Mr SSENOGA BRIAN KIMULI.In position no:1290.this is not a joke, this is serious.
Oooops.the Adzido dramma club director Mr Abu Kawenja, (huge)really displayed his skills in dramma.He made a show when he came to the finishing point while panting like a huge British bull dog.I wish you were there you would have seen him.
As if that wasn`t enough for this giant, he almost reached the point of purchasing aplot under the Red Cross tent where he put his big sized flabby tammy to rest.can you imagine?
However,it is as well good to note that Mr Kawenja did best in galloping several bottles of Rwenzori Mineral water and smooching sachets of powdered Glucose while he rested under the Red Cross Ward tent.Man, you would have seen this guy pressing and rolling his huge anatomy on the rather old and tired four inch matresses.Actually, Mr Abu Akawenja went to this tent for purposes of first aid.He wanted his tall flabby legs to be massaged.This was done while he (Kawenja) yelled out of pain, telling the fairly light skinnened tall lady to do the massagig slowly.He almost cried.May be he hae forgotten the saying "Big men don`t cry".Such a big day.All people wearing smiles on their faces as Juliana,Ragga Dee,Blue 3* and other local musicians woed the crowds upto 4:00pm.when the Lugogo Tennis and Rugby grounds were left as they were found.

AMAZING MALEMBO
It is Friday after noon and the sun is shining so much as if in a hurry to finish its day’s duty, it’s scotching. But this doesn’t stop children from playing in the sand near the Lake shores. Other children are also enjoying their time playing on the boats docked along the shores. And here comes a pregnant woman running with a stick in her left hand. She is carrying a baby at her back. They see her and start running in all directions as she chases after them. However, she fails to catch one as they are running faster than her and she consoles her self by shouting and yelling at them swearing to punish any child she sees again playing near the shores and in the boats.
On the other side, a man and a woman are fighting for a bottle of Tonto (local brew) while others are happy cheering them. But not all, other people are storming the bars to join their colleagues who are already busy drinking, laughing and dancing to the tunes of Madiru .Looking around, the number of children is overwhelming. Children are almost every where. In the restaurants, bars, Bibanda (local cinema halls), at the lake shores, the football pitch, playing in the sand, on the boats, in the waters, children are everywhere. Putting that aside, of the three women you see one is pregnant. Dear friend, Welcome to Malembo landing site where boozing and giving birth is a hobby.
Malembo landing site is found in Kyannamukaka, Masaka district at the shores of the vast Lake Victoria in Uganda. Two brick houses standing opposite each other at the main road from Kalisiizo welcome the site's visitors. On the far left are the two blocks of the only pit-latrines in the area. The houses that assemble the lake shores in straight lines are made of timber and iron sheets on top of it. This well explains that the inhabitants are not to stay permanently. In fact no serious development can be observed in terms of infrastructure.
According to Hajji Abbas Ssebbowa the LC1 chairman of the area, the site accommodates about seven hundred people, where many are the youths and children. Despite that fact, such a number of people are blessed with only two-pit latrines. Surprising! The only two latrines here are a donation from the district. Behind them is a thick forest of palm trees that shake peacefully when the wind blows.
Asking about the behaviors of people at Malembo, the chairman says that drug abuse among the youth has become a threat to both the addicts and those around. However, the authorities try their best to decampaign such anti-social acts where the local authorities work with the police. Drugs like Ganja, marijuana and mirrah among others are the commonly abused here. “We try our best and work hand-in-hand with the police to sensitize them about the effects of drug and subsistence abuse plus crime prevention, but many still prove to be hardcore lunatics” says Hajji Abbas Ssebbowa the LC 1 chairman.
The number of children in the area shows that family planning is not a thing to do with the people of Malembo.
“Women here give birth to as many children as possible and that is the only way of protecting their marriages.’’ says Eric, one of the operators of one of the two drug shops at Malembo.”A woman is expected to give birth to as many kids as possible. She is supposed to surrender and make sure she satisfies her husband’s sexual desire lest he marries other women.” he continues. According to Eric, it is difficult to find a man with only one wife at Malembo. “Men here are like cars, each with a spire tire." he says. Lodges can be accessed at prices ranging from Uganda shillings 1500-3000/= No wonder the first case of HIV in Uganda was reported around the areas of Masaka-Rakai districts. Eric continues to say, that STDs are among the common human health disturbances in the area. Malaria and Diahorrea being the major. One would be surprised to here that the district health sector donated mosquito nets to the people of Malembo but very few sleep under them. Why? “You see those nets we were given, contain some chemicals that will affect us in the future” says a one Jane an expectant and mother of four. This is the false assumption that many carry and continue to spread about the mosquito nets. Pointing at the two bottles of water guard covered with dust to show the long time they have spent on the shelves Eric says, “I brought water guard, but no one has ever bothered buying it.” This really explains the cause of Diahorrea, which mostly disturb the locals at Malembo landing site. “The two pit latrines you’ve seen are used by all these people, however it is not surprising to wake up in the morning and find a Kaveera well placed at the banks or even 'pupu' floating on the waters,.” Says kayongo. A resident of the area. He continues that even though the authorities emphasize the importance of proper hygiene and sanitation, some people here are still adamant. They continue contaminating the lake their major source of income.
“You have seen it, you have witnessed it your self, and these people are not easy. But due to my experience of about twenty years as LC1 chairman in this area I manage them.” Says Hajji Ssebbowa. He has just commanded a young lady to clean up the place that she has littered with sugar cane and banana peelings.
A matter concerning business Malembo is a good place, especially when one deals in selling beer. Make a bar and you will have a prosperous business enterprise. “Here people start drinking as soon as one finishes his daily work until next morning unless the bar has run short of beer” says one of the bar attendants. Like in Kampala here bars act as good rendezvous. Bars are open twenty four hours a day and they never run short of customers. Other businesses range from chapatti making to selling clothes. Of course fishing is the major economic activity. One starts fishing at the tender age of nine provided he knows how to ride a boat and cast a net and throw a hook in the waters. The nearest primary school is about 3Kms from the site where pupils walk daily to have their studies but not all others shun school for fishing in order to get money. For tourists, especially bird watchers Malembo provides one of the shortest routes to Musambwa Island, which is well known for it’s unique indispensable bird species in Africa, if not the whole world. However those hoping to go to this Island should only be males for women are not allowed there.

On the other side, a man and a woman are fighting for a bottle of Tonto (local brew) while others are happy cheering them. But not all, other people are storming the bars to join their colleagues who are already busy drinking, laughing and dancing to the tunes of Madiru .Looking around, the number of children is overwhelming. Children are almost every where. In the restaurants, bars, Bibanda (local cinema halls), at the lake shores, the football pitch, playing in the sand, on the boats, in the waters, children are everywhere. Putting that aside, of the three women you see one is pregnant. Dear friend, Welcome to Malembo landing site where boozing and giving birth is a hobby.
Malembo landing site is found in Kyannamukaka, Masaka district at the shores of the vast Lake Victoria in Uganda. Two brick houses standing opposite each other at the main road from Kalisiizo welcome the site's visitors. On the far left are the two blocks of the only pit-latrines in the area. The houses that assemble the lake shores in straight lines are made of timber and iron sheets on top of it. This well explains that the inhabitants are not to stay permanently. In fact no serious development can be observed in terms of infrastructure.
According to Hajji Abbas Ssebbowa the LC1 chairman of the area, the site accommodates about seven hundred people, where many are the youths and children. Despite that fact, such a number of people are blessed with only two-pit latrines. Surprising! The only two latrines here are a donation from the district. Behind them is a thick forest of palm trees that shake peacefully when the wind blows.
Asking about the behaviors of people at Malembo, the chairman says that drug abuse among the youth has become a threat to both the addicts and those around. However, the authorities try their best to decampaign such anti-social acts where the local authorities work with the police. Drugs like Ganja, marijuana and mirrah among others are the commonly abused here. “We try our best and work hand-in-hand with the police to sensitize them about the effects of drug and subsistence abuse plus crime prevention, but many still prove to be hardcore lunatics” says Hajji Abbas Ssebbowa the LC 1 chairman.

THE ESSENCE OF ADAM`S SIN.
I don’t think there is need of me repeating the story of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden unless am talking to Sunday school kids, I guess you all know it .to many including the clergy this story echoes fear and it means probably the beginning of man’s suffering to date.
However, to me some good, in fact a lot better things resulted from Adam’s sin. By the way, every body is entitled to freedom of expression, then why do you think am going nuts. Better if you read ahead. Come on maybe I should as well tell you that there is nothing good or bad only thinking makes it so. That’s William Shakespeare the all generations challenging writer.
Focusing on the issue, Adam’s sin brought to earth more good than harm. In fact it should cease being called a sin rather it should be called a mistake. Yes. When you read the first three chapters in the book of Genesis keenly you see that law and order was enacted for the purposes of disciplining stubborn men who never cared to observe the laws which bring about order hence peace in the society. Is this the case today? Those distort peace are catered for in the appropriate way. May be if it wasn’t that all people would have been immoral, arrogant and disrespectful.
Though God gave it as a punishment to Adam but he wanted us to emulate him as a worker. God worked tirelessly for six consecutive days without even a single minute to rest. Creating the world and all that is in it. So we should not take work as a curse besides we should just thank God for allowing us follow his example. By the way how could expect us to be like him without doing the things he did or does. God is a worker so man must as well work for both heaven and earth for the glory of his creator. See! I think now you get me well?
Before Adam and eve ate that fruit, man wasn’t wise. But after having a taste on the so called fruit of wisdom, man became wise, and got the knowledge to differentiate between good and bad. At least today one can differentiate between glasses from grass, splash from trash, name it.
More so today man knows who the enemy is DEVIL. We wouldn’t have know such if Adam didn’t eat the fruit.
Hey, do not tell me this action brought about death. Just imagine if there was no death o n this so small a planet where the population increases on such rocket speed, what would have happened? Iam not advocating for death get me right. I just told you to imagine have you? You as well take it to your understanding that it is only through death that man is able to meet his creator, it is just a “medium of transport”. At this point, if it was my primary teacher he would ask “Are we together, do you get the point?” and all that.
If you want to know if your son or daughter loves you then try to trick him or her .this is the case with God. He just wanted to see how man loves him. Those who love God work for him mainly by avoiding sin through prayer. Yes when you try to avoid sin your love for God increases and vice versa which is a very good thing.
When Adam and his wife sinned, man’s relationship with God was cut off they lost communication. That is very true. But hey, God immediately arranged to send his son to restore the broken line. He did this when he called Abraham whom he loved so much and through other several prophets and messengers until when his son came to earth in the father likeness where he spend a period of thirty three years. in fact, in form of a human being. Really we would have missed this golden chance of seeing the son of man if Adam and eve never made that mistake.bytheway who knows if it was God’s own plan? Though you still hold a feeling that it is a curse, to me it is a blessing in disguise. Ciao

BEHIND ME.
You think am stupid and foolish?
No! Am quietly brilliant.
You call me good for nothing?
mummy sees gold in me.
You call me `Brian Black'
God never does a mistake.
you name me `Lion heart'.
Iam just bold to face situation
You call me complete failure
remember a bad beginning makes the end so sweet.
Nerveless you tell people Iam.
Better than being a nerve gas.
A catoon!That`s what you relate to me.
Do not forget acting also is a talent
why tell others that Iam selfish?
come on,I also think of tomorrow.
My handwriting's vague, you say.
yes!but also the fingers are not equal.
when I pray,then am crazy
earthly wisdom is foolish to God.
To you, Bible reading is time wastage.

WHAT ABOUT THE INEVITABLE ABORTION?
As i was looking through my photo album to refreshen my memories last week.My eyes landed and actually got stack on this picture.She is apretty nice looking lady in her 20s,medium size,chocalate colur skin,watermelon smile that easly tame a Revland father if he`s not so careful,wide face fairly dottted with those big blue bold eyes which one could see that they are full of love and compassion whenever she stricked a blink.
Really, she is the one, BIRUNGI.Sister Birungi. mY gaze at her photo mysteriusly turned my eyes to put on what i rarely put on and that is the bedroom look.
This so set my mind to a broader imagination of her presence just close at me preferably infront of me for no other reason but just to have a look at her.If an angel was to fall in love with Birungi he would look at her like me.Ilater on realised that her photo i was looking at was gaining life,that i nearly uttered `my love'Oh! so sudden my conscience maintained it that a mare photo can`t listen or see what i was on.
Drawing back my mind to what had happened days before,this belle had narrowly escaped death.She had what the doctors termed as ``An innevitable abortion'',which with the little biology i tapped, could not understand.
The government is tirelessly paintingblack the act of abortionbut how comes the innevitable abortion? what kind of innevitability is this?
wouldn`t the stubborn Nakattuddes continue aborting under the umbrella of innevitable abortion.
Our beloved,democratically elected ``Taata Muho...''has recently maintained it kindly (almost on his knees)that the rate at which Ugandans are procreating has not yet satisfiied him.(Breaking news from Kyankwanzi).Ha ha!Do not ask me the number of off springs he has so far produced.
Their knowledge however reveals that certain psycho social and physiological problems play an important role in seeing innevitabl abortion on track.
Thse include domestic violence where men are fond of beating their women like desert camels,that gives no peace even to the foetus.
Poverty that to most Ugandan women especially in the villages makes them shun going for maternity treatment putting all the stakeholders at agreat risk.Drugs taken by the expectant mothers even in a simple feeling of uneasiness may instead turn out to be toxic to both the carrier and the carried.
MALARIA.This for sister Birungi`s case was the outstanding reason.According to the doctors,the womb was too hot for the baby to servive.spare me your other questions,for the doctors canbe suitable attendants to them,ok?
Severe bleeding,trauma,pain,were all she went through,worsened bythe nurses` great care ,i think you know Mulago,Uganad`s National Refferal Hospital.What a ward she was in,5B,that she was always the first recipient of the news that `some body has died giving birth`!
By the mere look into her eye you could easly see that she went through a tunnel.Thanks be to God that she is still alive.And to you men,when your ladies ask you for babies,please it isn`t just a matter of balooning them,but, it goes beyond that,stop being selfish.think about the care,comfort,encouragement,medication,consolation,all bound in the name of LOVE.May pregnancies not separate love but rather spice it up.GOD BLESS YOU ALL.Chiao.

CONQUIERING THE BEAST
Rainy day always kept people indoors weather working or not. it so happened one particular Sunday that it stated raining at around 6:30pm when darkness gradually was conquering the light from the seeming-to-be tired sun.
it poured heavily that even kamagu who alwaystage
of rain water to fill his Jerry cans and later sell the water to "his lazy ones` as he usually called them.he found his way into the house and quietly sunk into his "mmazogont"
7:30PM,power went off.you certainly know umeme`s power table therewas total silence, only for our ears to obediently listen to the now drizzling rain.the place was now in total darkness as dark as a grave or dungeon.
"brian goto the shop and buy a candle"mamasaid .I rolled in bed as though i was suffering from stomach pain,and then the next was asrerious,`hurry up, lazy boy` this time she commanded instead.
knowing her very well i couldn't wait for beatings on such a cold dark night.Rising and throwing my blanket off,i picked up atotch andquickly stood out with my torch on,slowlyimovedit round for self assurance of security.
At the rooftop wasalonely white dove.wondering what the littlething was doing out onaroof top at this time,i picked astone-missile and gave itahard one which pushed it to the ground only to find it disappearing to the invisible world.
Happy about suchatremendous achievement i proceeded to the shop while whistling.
just around the corner close to the dust bin, an incident occured that proved to me that not all dogs like those whistling.
three dogs surfaced be4me.theylookedfurious,hungry and angry.could easily tell from the way they sniffed. was the other dove afriend of these three beast -like dogs.
as they got closer and closer and more close with more determination thay looked.I felt blood chilling down my spine and making no mistake i decided to flee for dear life while screaming unfortunately no body could help.
the three beasts surrounded me ready to devour there prey.why have i killed that white dove?Are these dogs really going to eat me up?where have they come from?those are some of the questions that came to my mind.
In every bad,there isagood .i also got the opportunity to look at these merciless animals at close range as they kept on coming closer and surrounded me.
there was this small one which looked abitxcited the way it waged its tail and stood its ears.it was grey in colour,had tinyblack eyes and ablack long nose. its tail how ever was long and haily like that ofasquirrel.the other one was white with black spots and of a medium size.
the third one was very big with that boxed face,big black bloody bold blinking eyes with hanging ears like thosebull dogs.the big thing looked hungry like starved lion and greedy like ahyna.
the big thing pounced onme like alactating hungry leopard
No body could help me at this time and i felt like kneeling down before to the dogs.Did i,no.immediately i turned to the super natural being for my rescue and with my strength i calledout Jesus!before the beasts finished me.
On hearing that name,they fled in all directions.oh my GOD,it was terrible dream.i knelt and prayed and thanked God for helping conquer the beasts.prayer moves mountains.

THE 'SAINTS DAILY MOVIE
It so happened that i visited heaven last month.At the main gate somebody clad in a brown cassock happily welcomed and handed me a guest card .This card was to help me reach every where except where God the father reigns from.
Having got such a golden opportunity,i would`t miss reaching the prominent `indiscriminate` but feared judgment throne of God -the-son.It was a serious occasion that left no Angel or saints relaxed,for they were serious beyond seriousness each one meaning business.
An angel waved me to a seat so I can set my tiered bones relaxed and have my brain switched on to witness the 'Saints daily movie'.
`Ding,dong,ding`` so the bell made it to command silence and attention.`Ladies and gentlemen get ready`.a fine soft voice was heard.
On a wide screen appeared a golden table with money and the Bible placed each at a respectable distance from the other.
Three candidates were chosen from among audience, and the game was, each to pick one of the two items from the table (but not both) and go straight to the judge-Jesus- and bargain for his entrance into the fun filled place of pleasantries(paradise).Little did it require one to pick both money and the Bible.
Candidate number one confidently and smartly walked to the table and picked money.
In his bargaining he was to use money for buying the Bible,cater for the sick,offer in the church and blah blah blah. However the judge maintained that, `happy are the poor for the kingdom of God is theres'detesting him.
The second candidate picked the Bible and proceeded to the bargaining table.`your word is life,my lord,for even the stubborn devil bows down to your word` he said.This was also disqualified and the audience murmured until the bell rang in command of silence.
A Jesuit theologian priest surfaced.On the selection table,he stared at both items and much closely at the 50,000 shilling note.
Amazingly he picked both money and the Bible.This action drew much more great murmuring from the audience.
with no time to waste he confidently walked before the judge and bowed in reverence.
`why have you chosen both as if you don`t know the rule of the game'asked Jesus.In defense the priest calmly said,`your majesty my lord, I hope and very well know that you watched every step of mine. I bowed to thank you for giving us such wonderful gifts`.(referring to money and the Bible) Basing on your word that earthly things should make us know heavenly things,i picked both`.he said.
The judge smiled at the priest and said `you are cleared.`The bell rang for us to get out for the show was over.
Having got such a golden opportunity,i would`t miss reaching the prominent `indiscriminate` but feared judgment throne of God -the-son.It was a serious occasion that left no Angel or saints relaxed,for they were serious beyond seriousness each one meaning business.
An angel waved me to a seat so I can set my tiered bones relaxed and have my brain switched on to witness the 'Saints daily movie'.
