Most people who dream never fully understand the importance of waking up and living it.
They are in love with sleep and sleep often times love them back.

The language of laughter
What language is laughter?
I speak Italian and you German
Yet you understood my very laughter expression
I am amazed at this little fact of life
It seems all the things we ought to share with each other
Is easily understood by another
Laugh while you can
Laughter, a feature of man
It is true for love
The same for laughter
It is true for crying and for a smile
It really doesn’t matter
There comes a point when words alone just won’t do
The laughter is much too much not to do
Laugh when it seems too crazy to laugh about
Laugh when it seems too heavy to bear
Laugh when there’s no reason to
Laugh while you can
Laughter, a feature of man
Laugh yourself to better days
Laugh at your complex maze
Even when your laughter offends
Your own heart break you may need to mend
So whatever language you speak
The sound of laughter is always sweet
Laugh while you can
Laughter, a feature of man
Laugh yourself to better days
Laugh at your complex maze

The Shadow-side effect
Today as I traveled to work I came up on an object in the road.
I was traveling east and the morning sun had cast a shadow on the object in the middle of the road.
The object seemed dark and was difficult to identify. But as I drew closer and closer, my vision got a little clearer and I saw what appeared to be a little dog that was unfortunately run over by an earlier vehicle and by now had become motionless.
As I drove around it and looked back in my rear view mirror, it became even clearer what it was. It was a little white puppy with brown stripes and black spots. As I pondered on the whole experience I realized even in this there was a beautiful morning lesson.
As I approached the object it was difficult and perhaps impossible to see clearly what was in the road. The shadow effect had created a blur, a distraction and an illusion. This reminded me of life and how often we fail to see things for their real value and color as our perception is affected by shadows around; Shadows that cause us to only see the pain and not the gain from each experience; Shadows that cause us to focus on the hurt instead of the chance of a new birth.
As I continued the rest of my journey I began to notice the same thing even with each tree along the road side. To see the tree’s real color, type and worth I had to view it from the side with the sun light and not its shadow-side. An amazing lesson it was for me and I pray it will be for you too. The shadow-side is not the best angle to judge your current troubles and problems. If you really want to see them for what they are worth, view them from the side of the light. Allow the light to cause you to see life for what it really is.
In light of this unfortunate accident with the puppy I chose not to allow my emotional-side to cause me to miss this ah! ah! moment or my morning dew.
In John 8 v 12, Jesus is described as the light of the world.
The shadow side also causes us to be filled with fear, for the shadows often times bring scary darkness. If you are not looking from the sunny-side, the Jesus-side, then you are viewing life from its shadow-side.

Trust and open mind
An evil man must defend the good he has done and his reasons in a similar way a man of good character must truly convince us that he has done an evil thing. When we have reinforced perceptions of a person's character it is hard for us to see them in another form, even when presented with the facts...Therefore, an "open mind" is the solution

Leadership and followship
Leadership is of no necessity when there is no one following.
Most often people complain about the absence of leadership without also recognizing the absence of followship.
Just as how it is important to train our leaders to lead effectively we must begin to consider guiding the followers on how to be responsible and effective followers.
In this twenty first century there is much emphasis on leadership training and we are being coached in understanding the essential qualities and characteristics of a good leader.
I have attended a few training sessions myself and have purchased books, DVDs and so on about leading and leading effectively. My aim is to lead to the best of my ability and beyond. However I have seen many failures in leadership and quite often the people who are being led tend to divorce themselves from the failures of their leaders.
I have seen failures in our political, religious, corporate, community and family leaders that have affected whether are not we want to be led further. Not many corrective measures have been taken in the evaluation process to address present and future leadership issues.
Take for example the ‘trust’ issue which has been hanging over our heads for many decades. We have seen dishonest leaders who are known to have mismanage and misappropriate huge sums of the public funds yet they walk scotch free while we imprison an ordinary man for five years for stealing two mangoes. We have seen leaders lacking in integrity, fairness, justice and wisdom and many of us have not been able to live above the betrayal in some instance.
I believe I can categorically state that we as a people, in this side of the world, simply just don’t trust our leaders. We have been hurt, lied to, cheated and exploited. The demon of trust still haunts us today as a nation, as a region and as a people. This demon which prevents our leaders from leading effectively also prevents our followers from following responsibly.
Leadership is a partnership. The willingness and ability to lead must be coupled with the consent to be led. If I were to ask you whether you are a leader or a follower, what would your response be?
Unfortunately, too often there are many leaders and just not enough followers. I have always believed that good leaders are also good followers and the best followers are the ones who understand the important role they play in this whole business of leadership.
Much resource is being expended on developing our leaders and it is becoming increasingly more difficult to lead for the fundamental reason that our people are finding it more difficult to follow. Why not therefore, divert some of the resources toward developing better followers?
Why not teach our people how to serve and serve without servitude?
After all, those who are exemplary followers are soon promoted to leadership.
In order to have effective leadership and responsible followship a very key ingredient must be present, that of oneness of purpose, unity and collaboration. It is neither good nor bad to lead or follow but it is always good to serve.
Serving is hard work, no wonder we are having such diffiuclty following, but even more frightening is the fact that leading requires an even greater level of serving.
If we are going to become better leaders without being losers then we must also become better followers. Forgiveness and starting a fresh is now required. The change for a better tomorrow, as echoed many times before, must begin with me. God bless you and let us commit to being better followers.

10 Things I Can Least Stand And Why
Beautiful girls who are so sweet they make my skin itch
People who are judgmental as they oftentimes misjudge
Work that robs me of play time
Behaviours and cultures copied under the disguise of fashion without knowing the real reason for it
People who live without an understanding of who they are and from whence they came, as they tend to just go around in circle, one generation to another.
Nations who impose their evil beliefs on others
Leadership who fail to lead
Followers who fail to follow
People who thrive on creating division and controversy
An ungrateful heart and bitter attitudes

Not easily replaceable
When before someone you bear your naked soul
They tap into a deeper dimension, a big part, the whole
Making it difficult to let them go,
Though they are not easy to hold

Feel like I’m losing my mind
Today I felt like was losing my mind so I went to google and did a search on what it means to lose one’s mind. My search directed me to www.answerbag.com where I found some funny and interesting answers. Here are some of the better answers I saw:
The same place your wallet goes when you lose it: the last place you left it. Either that or the dryer.
It doesn't go anywhere, it just doesn't announce its presence.
It means u lose control over ur mind .

Reflective at 34
At age 34
Love at its worse
Love at its best
And so much more
At age 34
Life and its meaning dodge many
The man at forty, sixty or twenty
At age 34
Some seek more, get more
But still have less, contentment poor
At age 34
Leaders become the worse servants
Away from themselves they are lured
At age 34
Despite all the ills and pains
A thankful heart is by far the best gift to attain
At age 34
I am neither the passage to go through
Nor the door
I am only my Master’s instrument
Just one more
Love at its worse
Love at its best
And so much more
At age 34

Some more than some
Some problems you encounter will be like walking
Some will be more like sky diving
Some you will straighten out and some will straighten you out
Some people you meet will be easier to deal with
Some will think the worse of you even after you have offered yourself, offered help and endured their sorrows
A passing wind will move some more than some.
A clanging noise could deafen some more than some.
A joke will crack up some more than some
A beautiful sunny day will mean more to some than some
The association of a certain scent could awake memories in some more than some
The playing of specific music could mean more to dance to, more to cry about or more to reminisce on for some more than some
When I realized some more than some was a part of everything we do and everything we say, then I commit that my tongue must be guided more and cautioned with every utterance, for a word spoken will mean life to some more than some but that same word could be fatal to some more than some.

Fortis Forever
I was privileged to have attended the noble institution of Kingston College located in Kingston Jamaica. I spent the first seven years of my boy to manhood years at Kingston College. The Founder, Bishop Percival William Gibson was of the belief that Kingston College Boys would take the world as Christian Gentlemen.
You can read more about Bishop Gibson and his accomplishments by clicking here.
It is also commonly believed that Bishop Gibson founded the school on these two scriptures:
Psalms 37 v 24, “Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.”
And
Isaiah 41 v 6, “Each one helps his neighbor and says to his brother, “Be strong!”
The School motto, “The Brave may fall but never yield,” in the latin translation is “Fortis Cadere Cedere Non Potest”. This embodies the teachings and principles of the school. Bishop Gibson saw a better tomorrow from molding the young minds of the men who would be leaders today. He founded the school primarily to educate the minds of the less fortunate, the poor.
I believe every mother’s son who attends the school is engrafted and becomes a part of this Fire that Bishop carried in his heart for many years. We have been so selected to make a difference in our world, to look out for our brothers and to rise amidst the wind. The challenges of today require more Bishop Gibson’s to rise among us, right in our present generation and they should rise to correct and address some of the ills of the society we live in.
Kingston College, a school conceptualized and built on love, remains a notable contributor to the building of our nation. Love for our fellow brother was evident in the way we lived then and even more so today. During my school years, I observed students without the ability to purchase lunch being offered one-half of a beef patty by another.
Now, some 15 years after leaving the institution, the message for today still remains “Be Strong and love your neighbour”. Despite your struggles be strong and remember to look out for your brother, we are indeed Fortis for

Association at eight months
During Joshua’s eight month, he was ill twice.
It was so amazing to observe how he had developed a phobia for everything placed at his mouth other than his bottle.
When he had fully recovered and we no longer needed to subject him to all those medication, every four hours, in some instance, he still remained resistant even weeks afterwards.
His mother and Grandmother shared with me the difficulty they encountered trying to calm him down whenever they attempted to brush his teeth. Two weeks after his last illness, they tried desperately and failed.
One Sunday afternoon I was at home and heard the screams and wondered what could be the possible reason for him to make such a loud cry. So I went to the living room to find out. On entering I noticed mommy trying to get him to change his clothes. I was however convinced that he doesn’t have to always cry whenever we need him to do what is necessary. So for a while we had a tussle and I took him away, determined that he doesn’t have to cry, there must be a better way.
Mommy then commented that I must complete all the necessary things to prepare him for bed. It was at that point I decided we may as well turn everything into a game.
After turning on some music, I danced him into his night clothes, changed his diapers and had him brushing his teeth with smiling face. Grandma and Mommy came to observe in utter disbelief.
We all have associations, just like Joshua. We recall or recount certain events and experiences in our lives once the similar conditions are present. Be it a certain sound, smell, colour, visual etc.
Association is a widely used memory tool. Quite often we can’t change the past or the way it affects us, however we can always change the association. Thank God for the perfect way in which He has made us, we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

If I could choose my Dad
If I could choose my dad
I would choose you
You cheer me when I am sad
Teach me what to do
Dad you are the best
You gave yourself
Always working with little time for rest
You are the only one on my shelf
Thank you for all you’ve done
I tell you just now
Special to me like the morning sun
I choose you, oh wow!
I would choose you
You cheer me when I am sad
Teach me what to do
Dad you are the best

You are the only one on my shelf
Thank you for all you’ve done
I tell you just now
Special to me like the morning sun

Just the thought of knowing you are there
Just the thought of knowing you are thereI may not see you, your voice I may not hear
I live only by the thought that you are near
Just the thought of knowing you are there
In my heart is delightful cheer
My mind free of fear, my eyes see so clear
Just the thought of knowing you are there
Unimaginable peace, with a thought so sweet
Embraced by your love, protected by your care
Just the thought of knowing you are there
Somewhere in the distance near
Somewhere, out there

It still flows
(This speaks to the love of a parent for a child, a friend to another, a lover or God to us)
Regardless of where you’ve run
Whatever you’ve done
It still flows
Though you have made a mess
Advancement your ardent quest
It still flows
In your heart is guilt
Crafted like a quilt
But it still flows
Abundant love
Yours from above
It still flows
Forgiveness is keen
Transgressions come on the seen
It
Still
Flows
It still flows
It flows
Regardless of where you’ve run
Whatever you’ve done
It still flows
Though you have made a mess
Advancement your ardent quest
It still flows
In your heart is guilt
Crafted like a quilt
But it still flows
Abundant love
Yours from above
It still flows
Forgiveness is keen
Transgressions come on the seen
It
Still
Flows
It still flows

The birthing of a 9 Month Old Father
Today, our son Joshua is a nine month old bubble of laughter and a nine month bundle of joy. He is engaging and entertaining. You should see his dance moves. He sways from left to right and turn his head from side to side. He is very excited about standing on his own two feet without any assistance from any of us. Oh! You should see the delightful smile on his face when he is able to stand successfully on his own.
Today, nine months later, I am still adjusting even as I am here writing. All of what you can imagine and more have been my experience over the past few months. But through it all I am a better person.
Fatherhood is hard work, motherhood is even greater. There have been some scary moments, certainly not for me – I am usually more on the calmer, cooler side.
I am learning the importance of my presence. I have seen and observed just how much the father’s touch is needed. A nine-month old father, by nine month I am being born into fatherhood - Thank goodness they don’t stay small forever. Joshua is developing so fast.
I ensure that we are ahead of him by at least a few years, as it relates to school, economics and so on. I carefully scrutinize his development and I have already appointed myself as one of his biggest cheer leaders. Incidentally, I can tell when I have struck a good melody on the keyboard from just observing his reactions. He would leap with open mouth joy whenever he hears something which stimulates him.
I am happy for the journey which I have started and I look forward to the great times, lessons and breathtaking moments ahead - More later.

You are loved and appreciated
Mother, mother, mother you are often times misunderstood.
Your work and worth often times goes unnoticed.
But oh it is the folly of man to chase after the wind.
We without hesitation arise from our foolishness and see you for you are.
Name you for what you are worth and give you what you deserve.
A precious person you are, a diamond, a ruby by far.
When sin came into the world to separate our hearts from God’s, then God gave us mothers. Mothers who would be the bridge between the role we are playing now and the person we are suppose to be.
Mothers who would dry our tears when we cry, kiss our hands when they hurt and hold our heads in her arms when it aches.
Know now and forever that you are loved and appreciated, though often times it goes unstated.
YOU ARE LOVED AND YOU ARE APPRECIATED
HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY
