Staying close to God

Image
By
It is 606pm and I have decided to write what is on my mind. Whenever I see people openly mock God and religion, a deep sadness enters my heart. It is hard to watch, mostly because I find myself wishing they knew what they were actually missing out on. We often have a habit of mocking the very things we do not understand or simply cannot appreciate yet. My advice to anyone reading this is simple: stay close to God. Keep that connection alive, because one day, when everything else fades away, you will realise that God is truly all you have.

Of course, choosing that path comes with its own tests, and we have to be ready for them. If you stand firm in your faith, they will mock you, just as they will mock me. It can sting, but we should not be surprised or discouraged by it. History reminds us that even the beloved messengers, those chosen to guide humanity, were mocked and ridiculed endlessly. If the greatest among us had to endure that kind of treatment, it is only expected for ordinary humans like us to face the same.

Despite the noise and the mockery, my heart does not hold anger, only hope. I genuinely pray for every soul out there to eventually find their own way back to God. Above all, I pray that those of us who have found Him never stray or leave God's path, no matter how hard things get. I pray that we always find reason to believe, even in moments of doubt, and that in the end, good sense prevails over pride.

Giving

By
It is 237pm and I have decided to write. I drank a strong cup of coffee. It is hot outside but cool inside in the AC. I have no topic but I feel like writing. I love giving charity. Who knows it, feels it. The world would be a much better place if we all shared with one another. If we helped one another. If we only take as much as we need and leave the rest for others. If we prioritised needs over wants. We are going to leave it all behind when we die. We cannot carry anything into the grave except our deeds. One of the easiest ways to give money to charities is through SMS codes. The telecoms should have a system in place where charitable causes can sign up for an SMS code to accept donations. Long ago I remember seeing the donation tins at the supermarket. We should have more of those. I think more people would give more if they were presented with more opportunities to give. The nlcb booths could be outlets for making donations. Linx machines could be points for making donations. AT...

Technology in Trinbago

By
It is 205am and I have decided to write. I was doing some research and trying to update myself on what is happening in the tech space in Trinidad and Tobago. Nothing stood out in particular. I went looking at what other Caribbean countries were doing that we could adopt. I think there are opportunities in that. Then I decided to focus my energy on coming up with a list of things I think could be done with tech in Trinbago. 1. Feeding a startup culture. Ease of doing business. Make it easy to start and run a business. Support for businesses that earn foreign exchange. 2. Launch the work from home policy. 3. Have a similar policy for online schooling and home schooling. 4. Tech literacy focusing on cybersecurity and keeping safe online. 5. What would it take to get Paypal and CashApp supported here? 6. Support and encouragement for tech bloggers and tech youtubers. 7. More hackatons and a yearly developer survey. 8. Facilitating contact and communication between local techies and big tec...

A simple prayer

By
It is 200pm and I have started to write again. I abandoned my last blog post. I did not know what to write. I still do not know what to write about but I am still going to write anyway. I was thinking. What if there was a clock where a day was 100 hours and an hour was 100 minutes, what would be the current time in Trinidad according to that clock? 58.82 would be the time according to my friend — 5+8+8+2 = 23. 58.33 would have been the time I started — 5+8+3+3 = 19. If you are familiar with my writing you know that 19 and 23 comes from my book Love Letters. Nice but what to write about? I was thinking about a simple prayer. What would be a simple prayer? What would be the simplest prayer? My friend says that "thank you" is a simple prayer that carries so much weight. What about a prayer that is an acronym of the word simple? That forms a grammatically correct sentence. [insert s word] in my prayer like [insert e word]. Share, save, soul ... ease, every, eternal are some words...
