Learning from Beavers: A Lesson in Quiet Strength

Image
In a world that moves quickly and often rewards noise over wisdom, it is refreshing to look to nature for guidance. Among the many creatures that walk, fly, or swim, the humble beaver stands out—not for its beauty or strength, but for its incredible discipline, quiet tenacity, and unshakable sense of purpose. Beavers are master builders. Without fanfare, they gather sticks, mud, and stones to construct dams and lodges that protect their families. These dams don’t just serve the beavers—they transform rivers, slow down erosion, provide water to other species, and create entire ecosystems that support life. And they do it all without applause. Isn’t that a powerful image? A small creature creating big impact—simply by being consistent and committed. In a time when many people chase overnight success, fame, and shortcuts, the beaver reminds us of the value of showing up daily, working with what we have, and building steadily over time. Beaver As someone who believes in purpose and divi...

How to Achieve Lucid Dreams

Image
  Mulanje mountain in Malawi A lucid dream is a type of dream in which the dreamer becomes aware that they are dreaming. In some cases, the dreamer can even control aspects of the dream—such as the setting, characters, or actions—because they realize the experience is not real. Lucid dreams often feel vivid and realistic, and they usually occur during REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep. Some people train themselves to have lucid dreams for self-exploration, creativity, or problem-solving. To achieve lucid dreams, one must train the mind to recognize when it's dreaming. Here are practical, safe methods you can follow: 1. Keep a Dream Journal Write down every dream you remember as soon as you wake up. This improves dream recall and helps you recognize patterns in your dreams. 2. Do Reality Checks Frequently ask yourself during the day, “Am I dreaming?” Try simple tests like: Looking at a clock twice (time often changes in dreams) Pushing your finger through your palm Looking ...

Understanding Dreams: What They Mean and Why They Matter

Image
  Dreams are a mystery that continues to fascinate mankind. We sleep, and suddenly, our minds begin to travel — sometimes through joy, sometimes fear, sometimes confusion. But beyond the random images and scenes, dreams carry messages. They are not just entertainment for the night. They are reflections, warnings, memories, and sometimes, divine communications. I have always been curious about why we dream what we dream. Over time, I have learned that dreams, especially the recurring ones, often carry deep meaning. Today, I would like to share insights on some of the most common dreams and what they might be telling us. 1. Eating in Dreams This is a very common dream. Eating in a dream can mean many things depending on the setting and what is being eaten. In general, eating represents intake — not just food, but knowledge, experiences, and even spiritual content. If you are eating happily, it may symbolize satisfaction and abundance. But if you are eating strange or rotten food...

The Art of Storytelling: My Journey and Tips to Inspire Yours

Image
  There is something timeless and powerful about storytelling. Before we had books, blogs, and screens, we had voices by the fire, passing down lessons, wisdom, and dreams. And that’s how it started for me too. Sitting by my grandmother’s side, hearing her tell stories that made me laugh, cry, and wonder. I didn’t know it then, but that spark ignited something in me—a deep love for words and the magic they hold.  Storytelling, for me, is not just a skill. It is a calling. It is how I understand the world and how I share my heart with others. Through writing, I can speak where my voice cannot reach. I can be present in places I’ve never stepped. That’s the beauty of stories—they travel farther than we ever will. In this article, I want to open my notebook to you—not just with theory, but with real truths from my journey. If you’re an aspiring storyteller, blogger, or creative soul, I hope this helps you walk your path with confidence.   1. Know Why You Write   ...

HELL IS REAL

Image
Guest Writer: Pastor June Lutwama When I got born again, I read a book by a lady called Mary Baxter about her visitation to hell. Jesus took her to hell every day for thirty days. And heaven. I  recently found this lady's messages, interviews, and such on YouTube.  I quickly got in line as she described how horrible hell was. How real it is and what happens there.  I also bumped into messages by Bill Wiese. Jesus took him to hell for 23 minutes. He describes pretty much the same things.  The purpose for these two to go to hell was to tell others so they may repent. It hurts God to send people to hell. He is trying to keep people out of hell. You avoid hell by accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior.  We often don't take life after death seriously.  Some go as far as saying there is no hell because a good God can't punish. But hell was created for the devil and his demons. Humans will go there simply because they haven't been cleansed by the blood of Jesus by acc...

A Prayer for Life, Protection, and God’s Love

Image
  Heavenly Father, I come before You with a heart full of gratitude. Thank You for the gift of life, for every breath I take, and for the strength to rise each day. In a world full of uncertainties, You remain my constant. You are the Author of life, the Giver of peace, and the Protector of my soul. Lord, I acknowledge that I cannot walk this life alone. Sometimes the burdens feel heavy, the road uncertain, and fear tries to creep into my heart. But Your Word reminds me that You are my refuge and fortress, my God in whom I trust. I lean on Your promises today, trusting that You will never leave me nor forsake me. Cover me with Your wings, O Lord. Be my shield in moments of danger, my light in the darkest hour, and my strength when I feel weak. Surround me with Your angels, and let no harm come near my dwelling. Guide my steps, direct my path, and let Your will always prevail in my life. Father, in all I do, may Your love be the anchor of my soul. Let me not be swayed by the tr...

Pearl Harbor Attack: The Day the World Held Its Breath

Image
On the quiet Sunday morning of December 7, 1941 , as many Americans were preparing for church or enjoying rest with family, tragedy struck from the skies. At exactly 7:55 a.m., the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service launched a surprise attack on the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. This act of war would change the course of history forever. A Calculated Surprise Japan, seeking to dominate Asia and the Pacific, viewed the United States as the primary obstacle to its imperial ambitions. Negotiations between the two countries had been tense, and unbeknownst to the U.S., Japan had secretly planned a decisive blow to eliminate American power in the Pacific. The attack was meticulously planned. Two waves of Japanese aircraft — a total of 353 fighter planes, bombers, and torpedo planes — targeted battleships, airfields, and docked vessels. The Americans were completely unprepared. Radar operators had seen the planes approaching but dismissed them, believing they were American...

Exploring the Renaissance Period~History

Image
  A Time of Rebirth: Exploring the Renaissance Period The Renaissance, a period of immense cultural and intellectual flourishing in Europe, spanned roughly from the 14th to the 17th century.  This era, often referred to as a "rebirth" after the Middle Ages, witnessed a renewed interest in classical art, literature, and philosophy.  It was a time of profound change, marked by significant advancements in science, art, and architecture.  The Renaissance witnessed the rise of humanism, a philosophical movement that emphasized human potential and the importance of individual achievement. This shift in focus led to a surge in artistic expression, exemplified by the works of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael. These masters, driven by a thirst for knowledge and a desire to emulate the grandeur of ancient Greece and Rome, produced breathtaking masterpieces that continue to inspire and amaze us today. Beyond the artistic realm, the Renaissance saw significant scient...
