Happy International Women’s Day

By:© Saccheen Laing

She is beautiful!

There is beauty in her smile but there is depth in her soul

She energizes the world with her thoughtfulness and brings life to it

She is abused and neglected but still she cares for the world

She loves hard and gives of her best to the world

She beautifies the world and adds droplets of her love to water hatred in the world

She is self-conscious and she is enticed by your compliments

She is filled with wisdom and she imparts it as she feeds the mind of her child

She is strong as she still gives of her best to her often ungrateful children

She is hurting but she still beautifies her frame and appears confident to the world

She is mesmerizing as you never know what she will come with next

She is powerful and the world depends on her to build the foundation

She is sexy and she sway her hips to the left and to the right demanding that your eyes be fixed upon them

She is angry because the world hears her speak but refuses to listen

She is disappointed that the world still believes she must be seen but not heard

She is a magician in the kitchen but she will not be fixed there

She varies in size but the size of her determination has no boundaries

She is a woman! Let us show our appreciation

Church ministry without God

Have you ever been to a church service and when the singers are singing you feel nothing? You can hear the words coming out of their mouths but they have no conviction whatsoever? Music is one of the most important parts of church ministry and if God isn't in it, it shouldn't be called Gospel music to begin with. Some singers in church sing for self! They know they are blessed with beautiful voices so they use the church to showcase it but it isn't about ministry. It is simply to let people know what they have going on. They stand before you and they have blank expressions on their faces, while they sing such powerful lyrics. They aren't moved by it but they somehow expect that the congregation will be. The next issue is that of the modern day Gospel music. Call me old fashion but it isn't my flavour at all. Why should I have to be wondering whether I'm listening to Gospel or I'm at a dancehall event? Why does the church have to change itself to resemb...

Be more thankful

It's so easy for us to complain it's like we do it everyday. Are we more thankful for the blessings we have no matter how small they seem? It seems to me that more than ever people are more ungrateful than they are grateful. No matter how bad things are always remember that they could be much worse. Our house isn't big so we complain rather than be thankful that we have a house. Our pay cheque is small so we complain rather than be thankful that we have a job. Our skin isn't flawless so we complain instead of be thankful that we still have our skin to protect our bodies. Our body isn't sculpted perfectly so we complain instead of being thankful that all our body parts are still functioning. Our world is very ungrateful and we can never seem to be satisfied no matter how many blessings we have. This week I ask of you to be thankful for something everyday no matter how small it may seem.

The Jamaica of tomorrow

When shall the change come? Crime and violence ago continue and mash up Jamdung? Street lights come on at night and our window lids we shut tight tight No kids on the street, no time to meet and greet Why can't we no longer walk at nights? Why we don't have no peace? Police men guard the streets Kids run quickly pass them not sure if they police or just undercover gunman and thief Thousands complete their university education but student loan awaits them in every gleaner publication Jamaica is such a beautiful nation, nice food and nuff happiness and sweet jubilation Wait a moment and turn the TV off the international station Turn the dial to our local station No more happiness and sweet jubilation Blood flowing in the streets of poverty and ever increasing destruction You have the answers? Tell us how we need a change in politics Five years time and we still have the same corruption You tell me to smile because better must come I ...
