Excuses we make for Bad Behaviour.
Why do human beings find it so hard to own their bad behaviour? Why do we try to justify or excuse or explain it away? From the simplest thing like coming late for school to cheating on your partner every excuse in the book has been bandied about. Why cant we be brave enough to just say,"I did it....

Im In Love
Before I went to work at the resthome my thoughts were filled with worry that I wouldnt manage the physical intimacy of the job,the personal stuff I'd have to do for helpless adults. It didn't help when I asked a friend who is a nurse in a resthome,what it was like. Oh,all you do whole day is clean...

God Said No
God Said NO! I asked God to take away my habit. God said, No. It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up. I asked God to make my handicapped child whole. God said, No. His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary I asked God to grant me patience. God said, No.Patience is a byproduct...

The Need to Struggle and Suffer.
Hmmm,this is a heavy topic for sure. Like all my topics Im writing it from the top of my head without any planning but I hope it gives each reader a little gift at the end. Whenever terrible tragedies take place people will ask where is God and how can a loving God allow such things to happen. I...

"Death Be not Proud ,Though some have called Thee Mighty and Dreadfull
For thou art not so. Those whom thou thinkst thou dost overthrow,Die not poor death,nor yet canst thou kill me. " And in the last line the inimitable John Donne states defiantly, "And death,thou shalt die!" Another favourite poem with an unusual theme, I couldn't resist one more article on the topic...

"Do not Go gentle into that Good Night
Rage,rage against the dying of the light." Ive always loved this poem of Dylan Thomas suggesting as it does that man can fight the Grim Reaper on man's own terms. That we shouldn't just lie down and die. Death seems to be occupying my thoughts quite randomly these days for two reasons. Working at a...

The Tidal Wave......
My son has never done things by half. Everything is BIG,EXAGGERATED AND OVER THE TOP. When he cooks a meal every utensil in the kitchen is used. There won't be a clean spoon. One time there was tomato sauce on the kitchen ceiling. How does tomato sauce end up on a ceiling? Once I tried to introduce...
