THIS CHRISTMAS

                                     Image result for CHRISTMAS
Christmas in my house is rather a gone thing, I would like to think that as the years went by, The new dresses and new shoes stopped coming through and so did the Christmas preparations and all the merry that comes with Christmas.

This year, all I want for Christmas is a little quiet to myself. Selfish, huh?

See, 2016 was a year of it's own accord. The grip to sanity that I usually have over the things that matter to me. But this year, I watched me break down at the reality that it is possible that I cannot do a lot, sometimes to change the situations that come my way.

So, this Christmas I just want to lay low and have a grip of the one thing that I can have control over, me. I just want to look back in retrospect to the things that made me happy and those that definitely made me sore with pain. This Christmas, I just want to do me.

So as the Savior is celebrated in most parts of the world. And as we merry away to songs, hymns and food. I will catch some "me time". I will make the most of my happy place and when I come out at the end of the day, I will as well celebrate a re-birth of me. 

I will end with a beautiful Chorus from one of my favorite Christmas songs.
                       " Now I'm not one to second guess, what angels have to say...
                          This is such a strange way, to save the world"
I know what is more strange than the savior of the world, In a manager. But that is how God always leaves us in awe.

                                MERRY X-MAS!!!             FELIZ-NAVIDAD!!!

DOWN THE OLD RUGGED ROAD


Image result for OLD DUSTY ROAD
It was that old rugged road that led to the place where I first found love;
That old road held the memories of  my happiest moments
the road, held the brokenness of my heart...
When I walked down that road, I took with me all the dreams of life.


That red soiled dusty road echoed the beauty of innocence..
the times, 
the times when I was young with no cares...
the days,
the days of laughter and family...


It was that little house where I first Knew I belonged...
Now, time has passed
My loved ones are gone...
But I find a peace unknown;
In the warmth the came through that path.
Through that old rusty road.

OF CHICKEN BEGGARS AND CORRUPT OFFICIALS

What are we going to do about our country Uganda, and it's many draggy offices? 

I used to think I would love to work for the government but now I think I am better off in private offices. Two scenarios place me in this position.

I happen to work for a mission and christian center and recently a gentleman from Kasese was part of a panel of administrators that conducted interviews for new staff. Different from anyone, he asked them of money  calling it "Chicken" His audacity was in twisting lies and making sure he saves face at all costs. It was so absurd, I used to hear about corrupt people but seeing it with my very eyes was so new in all dimensions.

Eventually, the administration got wind of it, and while he would have gotten off with just an apology letter, his pride wouldn't let him.He decided to resign the position.


THE PUBLIC DEATH...
 Then I walked into a government office, Kampala City Council Authority and lo' and behold the greedy crocodiles welcomed me, their next "meat". I walked in scared and I was sure I was not going to come out happy and maybe that sounds like so general but I never think of anything different of any government office in Uganda to do any better.

Eventually, the big cat in the room was mentioned 100,000 Uganda shillings, for a signature. An endorsement for our organization to continue to serving the people of Uganda. It was absurd and while I had the money, I was sure I was not going to feed the demon of bribery in my life time. I picked my files and returned to our offices. Angry and disgusted.

As if one day going wrong was not enough, I went to a higher office for help and there I got a sexual plea! Like I had not had enough of mediocrity in service. 

FAST FORWARD...
Today I went to another office to get another signature (why do we even have this much bureaucracy?) And the lady in-charge of the office showed up at 12:00 pm. Now, for over four hours we had been held in wait for her. She showed up and had lunch by the time I went to see her. With all her satisfaction she looked through my documents as if she would  vomit up her lunch. Eventually, I realized the rot goes deeper than the leaves that were showing up.

Maybe it is me but the level of thievery and filth in the government institutions leaves me in an irksome state. We are losing it as a nation and a few years from now, we will only have ourselves Chinese for investors because at the looks of this, every one is picking Rwanda and Kenya and even Mafuguli's Tanzania over Uganda because the systems are dead.

So who is going to remedy this Land? I am doing my part, do yours.

NOW THAT YOU ARE

Did your heart skip a beat?
Mine didn't...

Did you smile in passing?
Did you rather know that I was the one?

Did you in the absence of manners find me in your embrace?
Did you rather determine to have and behold?

I was awed at how much a heart could hold...
Smitten yet sane to let things take their pace...

Did you pray about me?
Did you rather believe in an answered prayer?

Is it love or is it an infatuation? 
Is it in passing or you will stay?

I pray that you stay,
Most of all, I pray that you last
