The Gil Bailey Show
So long as my mother is in New York, Saturdays aren’t Saturday if her radio is not tuned in to WPAT from as early as 6am to listen to the Gil Bailey Show. This seems to be the trend for many Caribbean New Yorkers. For more than 42 years, Gil Bailey, “The Godfather” has been the voice of Caribbean radio … Continue reading
Standing in the Gap
There is much going on around us detestable. Many lives are being destroyed, people are being disenfranchised, and the powerful seem to be callous in the face of such immense suffering, intent on their own agendas. They are willing to spend millions to have their own way while people die of starvation, go hungry on their own doorsteps, die because … Continue reading
Break the Silence
Keeping silent about Jesus Christ is not an option, once we have experienced God’s saving grace that comes through our Lord and Savior. It can only be good news that has to be shared. However, it is important that we allow God to continue working in our lives so that we are changed into Christ’s likeness and our actions match … Continue reading
To all Guyanese
A message to all Guyanese eligible to vote in the November 28, 2011 general elections. To reelect the incumbent is to say YES, we love the corruption, greed, incompetence, discrimination, murders, assassinations, dictatorial politics, drug trade, skullduggery, mediocrity, suffering, lies, threats, slow progress, in some cases no progress … which is currently the order of the day in our nation. … Continue reading

This includes … Continue reading
God’s Mission
I was reminded again this week that even though we work with God (1 Corinthians 3:9), it is God’s work, God’s mission. We are privileged to share in it but always we have to be responsive to how, what, where, when, and to whom God would have us serve and share the good news. We have to make room for … Continue reading
Miss Universe is Miss Angola, Leila Lopes
After my few minutes of looking at the Miss Universe show last night, I had little doubt that the Miss Universe 2011 would be miss Angola. I was late, when i switched the top ten beauties were being selected. As the cameras rolled, it was obvious to me who the front runners would be. I said to my mom, “OMG … Continue reading
Tips to Improve Communication in Relationships
I saw these words on a friend’s facebook status “The silent killer of ALL relationships is the lack of communication”. I couldn’t agree more and I am sure many of you reading this post will also. Communication in relationships should not be taken lightly. It’s not just speaking but the manner in which we speak is vitally important since communication … Continue reading
God? Maybe
If we could have the new without change, life would be grand. At least that’s what our actions and attitudes suggest. We see things that we like and at a level would wish to get them, but then when we think about the change we’d need, perhaps not. We can’t be bothered. We like the idea of God and even … Continue reading
