Learn to do good;
Seek justice,
Reprove the ruthless,
Defend the orphan,
Plead for the widow.

Without question, I can hear the voice of the defenceless - their wail is sharp, yet wretchedly weak. I can ill-afford to be still any longer. The good in me refuses to be passive. The man I am is stirred to move on behalf of the oppressed.
Will you join me, in this quest to uphold truth? Will you join me in doing the right thing, because it is the right thing?
Some argue that we cannot do anything about the evil in this world...but wisdom declares that evil prospers when good people do nothing.
Every monumental event in life is a combination of innumerable moments. The defeat of an enemy begins with the victor’s heartbeat. A journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step.
Zimbabwe is changing, what step will you take?
Come and join me...

The West Wing
There are shows that entertain, there are shows that educate, there are shows that exasperate, and then there are shows that not only impress, but move. And so the season finale of the The West Wing was screened tonight on ABC.
It is indeed my all-time favourite series on television. No other production could ever match The West Wing's pace, wit and screenplay. The plot evolved with a delightful tempo, and I found it thoroughly inventive. If anything, the series did well to inspire me. It challenged my interpretation of leadership, urging me to sharpen my mind, to better employ my influence.
With this finale, I have grasped an unalloyed resolve to be global in my influence. In this age, geography should no longer be a liege over us. In fact, I believe meaningful change towards a better world requires, even demands, that we see, hear, act and lead beyond our own boundaries. This paradigm is not in opposition with one that teaches ,"think globally, act locally." If anything, what I am suggesting is in support of such.
The bottom line is that what we do, what we say - all the choices we make - have far reaching consequences. The West Wing has encouraged me to think clearer, to lead better.
24
And so it's December once again.It's freaky how quickly the year goes by.This month always has mixed emotions for me.I love the gift giving that makes this season what it is,but I guess I struggle a bit coz I don't get to share it with the part of my family that is in Zimbabwe.
I am very grateful to The One, coz I turned 24 this month.Three cheers for me!!!Hehehe.My beautiful wife got me some great gifts.The first one,well let's just say it caters to the metro in me.As for the rest: We went to Werribee Open Range Zoo,and I caught up with some homies there.I became quite home-sick actually.Then we had a nice dinner at a Chinese restaurant in Armadale....I stuffed myself.
It doesn't feel to different being 24,as opposed to being 23.I guess the main difference is just the extent to which my hair-line is receding....alarming.
Anyway,I trust The One has great stuff in store for me in the coming year.Maybe,somehow,my hair will grow back over my bald patch.
It defies logic..
Worship.
It is great, but sometimes I am filled with this awe that makes me shudder (and even forget lyrics). It's very much like God's presence has an intensity that peaks (for me) when I am leading worship. Much like standing on a snow-capped summit, talking to the Father, and having Him talk back. My ears hear the wind howling, but there is a contradicting, beautiful silence in my spirit...I guess that's what His glory does ...defies all logic.
