WHO SHOULD DO THE LAUNDRY?

This morning while washing my clothes, a friend of mine walked up to me and jokingly asked "make I bring my own?". I jokingly replied "you no get hand?". Next he wanted to know if I wouldn't wash my husband's clothes when I get married. I simply told him that I will only assist my husband in doing so if there is a special need for it and not because it is my duty. He shrugged his shoulders in a manner that seemed to say "you are joking". My thoughts: Doing the laundry should be everybody's business. It shouldn't be a 'wifely' duty. (Full-time housewives maybe excluded).Why should it be added to the numerous duties a career wife already has to do?  Today in most homes, the woman is the breadwinner and when she's not, she supports her family to a large extent. Some women work five - six days every week and come back to a home full of hungry children (some crying), a pile of dirty clothes, a stack of dirty dishes and what mo

FLAWLESS

Big, small, tall, short, light, dark, God made them all. In His image He made them. After His own likeness. Whatever facial and body structure you have, was carved out for you specially by God for His own glory. So if you are not the prettiest girl around, the tallest dude ever, the fairest lady in the room...that shouldn't weigh you down because "As you are, so your heavenly father is". God is flawless. So are you. Put some money in the hands of that 'ugly' fellow you claim to know and watch him/her transform into a beauty king/queen.

The ugliest person in any room is that person with the lowest brain function, the lowest IQ, the lowest thinking power, the inability to plan for a better future; that fellow that is too lazy to stand up and develop him/herself. Therefore, if your face or b

RAPE... WHOSE FAULT?

Sometime ago,  a friend put up a post on rape on his facebook  wall. I went through the comments section and discovered that a number of people who commented, were of the opinion that women (the victims) were the reason they were raped. To say I knew what to say to that commenter, would be to lie to you.  I was shocked and speechless.  How can someone conceive such thoughts in his heart? No victim of rape whether male or female is the cause of his/her predicament. The only exception is when the rapist is mentally derailed.  Don't tell me that because a lady was skimpily dressed, your hormones began to rage uncontrollably, and so you raped her.  That simply means you have objectified women. Yes! Women have been objectified in our society. How else can you relate to the fact that a young man wearing just a pair of boxers stays in the company of adult females and leaves there unharmed while a lady is raped severally because "her skimpy dress turned the brothers violently
