Married at last! It was so natural to be together all of the time, as if we were made for each other. We were so poor that we didn’t even have a car at first.

   .Setting a Proper Foundation for Bu siness and Life   Successful business owner, Dr. Ed Becker shares the lessons he has learned about how to set proper foundations A Faulty Foundation In Luke 6:48–49, the Bible talks about the importance of a foundation: “He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.”   Our foundation is the basis for the priorities in our lives, both at home and at work. Prior to 1977, my foundation was ME; and it was weak and unstable. This adversely affected my business and personal life, which included my relationship with my wife Norma and our children. I thought I had a good...

* THINGS THAT CAUSE REGRET AT OLD AGE* When younger, we make various choices without the future in mind. Sometimes those choices bite us in our mid-life. These are some of the things one might regret when they're older. 1. *Marrying the wrong person* When you're young, check your motives for marrying. Don't marry to copy your peers, or for social standing or out of pressure. Marry for love and companionship, marry the right person, marry your best friend. For if you marry the wrong person or for the wrong reasons, you will have to put up with that person the rest of your life. Things might get worse between you two; then depression, physical abuse, affairs, pain, shame, court cases, bitterness will define your mid-life years all because you chose the wrong one. Things will get worse when children are involved. Make the right choice of a spouse when you are young. 2. The opportunities you did not seize When you are younger many doors will open, you will get ma...

  WHAT WENT WRONG? In the early years of my Christian walk as a youth, 1. Fridays night were met for vigils in the Church 2. Youth convention was purely for prayers, fasting, Bible study, and edifying activities 3. As a single when you are going to visit an opposite sex you don't dare go alone 4. When your Pastor scolds you, you bow your head in tears for being a source concern to him 5. We don't purchase any clothe we can't wear to church 6. During youth programmes we engage in activities like draw your sword, Bible quizzes 7. Every Saturday was for Evangelism 8. We were mobile Bibles as we could quote tens of scriptures by heart 8. We don't dare leave our houses for church without a Bible 9. We arrive church hours before service to prepare the church 10. Virginity was dignity to us and not lack of opportunity 11. It wasn't difficult to identify us from unbelievers even as classroom students because you see Go...

. Technical transformation, sacrifice by Mikel helped in beating Iceland – Rohr Nigeria’s coach Gernot Rohr on Friday said his team’s 2-0 defeat of Iceland was all down to technical transformation and sacrifices by the duo of Mikel Obi and Victor Moses. Nigeria beat Iceland 2-0 at the Volgograd Arena in a Group D match at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, with the win pushing them into contention for qualification. Rohr who spoke at the post-match conference also praised his team and coaching staff for working hard to achieve the victory. “We changed our formation to 3-5-2 and it was good for us. It was a different style in defence. “Kenneth (Omeruo) is so strong in the air and we needed that to cut off the crosses by Iceland into the box and also the set-pieces. “The players, as well as all the staff, worked so hard in the past six days or so for us to be ready for Iceland and be able to achieve this. “Everybody was not happy after that loss to Croatia and we all rea...

Here are 27 health and nutrition tips that are actually based on good science. 1. Don't Drink Sugar Calories Sugary drinks are the most fattening things you can put into your body. This is because liquid sugar calories don't get registered by the brain in the same way as calories from solid foods (1). For this reason, when you drink soda, you end up eating more total calories (2, 3). Sugary drinks are strongly associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and all sorts of health problems (4, 5, 6, 7). Keep in mind that fruit juices are almost as bad as soda in this regard. They contain just as much sugar, and the small amounts of antioxidants do NOT negate the harmful effects of the sugar (8). 2. Eat Nuts Despite being high in fat, nuts are incredibly nutritious and healthy. They are loaded with magnesium, vitamin E, fiber and various other nutrients (9). Studies show that nuts can help you lose weight, and may help fight type 2 diabetes and hea...

Hmmmm,  Actually...... When my husband and I got married thirteen years ago, we were young and in love, but we were also pretty clueless (me especially)! Along the way, we've had so many people share wise advice and life experiences with us, which has helped guide our family through good times and hard times. Through the years, I've been collecting some of the best marriage advice others have shared with us (and some I had to learn through my own mistakes). If you apply these twenty-three principles below to your relationship, it could make a life-changing difference in your marriage. 1. Choose to love each other, even in those moments when you struggle to like each other. Love is a commitment, not a feeling. 2. Always answer the phone when your husband/wife is calling.      When possible, try to keep your phone off when you're together with your spouse. 3. Make time together a priority. Budget for a consistent date night. Time is the "currency of relationships,...

THE DIFFERENT STAGES IN MARRIAGE S pecially for you!!! 1. THE AMAZEMENT/EUPHORIC STAGE  This is the "wow" stage. Lots of new things to discover with your spouse. The newness, the freshness is so amazing. Sleeping on the same bed, wearing the same attire, cooking for him, doing house chores with her, bathing together. Wearing your dazzling wedding ring everywhere, turning people's head at the newest couple around. Loads and lots of fun. Sexual exploration and excitement. Being in control of your kitchen, feeding him and lots more. It's the honeymoon stage and it's so so beautiful. 2. THE IRRITATION STAGE This is when you begin to notice weaknesses you have overlooked or blissfully wish they go away but didn't. The repetition of such weaknesses begins to work on your nerves and you are getting irritated: he snores a lot, she is slow in the kitchen, she belches loudly, he screams unnecessarily, she won't bathe before coming to bed or shave, he spend...
