Christianity Etc › Re: How Do You Keep Your Sermon Notes After Church? by akaahs(m): 10:41am On Jul 19 |
Studentcosmos: I was arranging some old books yesterday and found a notebook from about three years ago. It was full of sermon notes.
As I read through them, I couldn't believe how much God had taught me that I had completely forgotten. It also made me realise something else.
Over the years, I've written notes in different notebooks, saved Bible verses on my phone, bookmarked sermons on YouTube, sent messages to myself on WhatsApp and even used Google Keep.
Everything is scattered.
I'm beginning to think that taking notes is not really the problem. Keeping them organised is. So I'm curious...
How do you keep your sermon notes?
- Traditional notebook? - Bible with handwritten notes? - Notes app on your phone? - Voice recordings? - Dedicated Bible journaling app? - Or do you simply trust your memory?
Personally, I'm trying to move towards keeping everything in one place because I've realised God often reminds us of things He spoke months or even years ago.
I'd really like to hear what has worked for other Christians. You couldn't show us the said notes?? |
Health › Re: After Birth: The Injury No One Talks About by akaahs(m): 10:44pm On Jul 18 |
EMMACHI1: Everyone checks the baby after birth.
No one checks the mother for injuries.
Childbirth is not just pain. For many mothers, it is an injury.
Your perineum can tear. Your pelvic floor can weaken. Your back can ache for months where the epidural went in. Your wrist can throb from holding your baby — they even call it “mother’s thumb.” Your nipples can crack and bleed.
And the biggest injury is invisible — the wound the size of a dinner plate inside your uterus where the placenta detached. You bleed for six weeks because you are healing from the inside out.
We call it “recovery” but it is really “wound healing” while you are awake all night keeping another human alive.
If you just gave birth and you feel broken, sore, leaking, or not like yourself — you are not weak. You are injured and healing at the same time.
Rest is not laziness. Asking for help is not complaining.
You just did one of the hardest physical events a human body can do. Give yourself the same grace you give your newborn.
If you're a mother reply in the comments section. My wife has had issues with her coccyx (tailbone) since the birth of our first child. It shifted during delivery, and ever since then, she has lived with recurring pain. After our second child, her tummy has never quite returned to the way it was before pregnancy. Every childbirth leaves its own physical and emotional scars. It is a reminder of the incredible sacrifices women make to bring life into the world. That is why I always make it a point to be in the labour room with my wife. Witnessing what she goes through has given me a much deeper appreciation for her strength, resilience, and the sacrifices mothers make. Women truly go through a lot, and they deserve our love, support, patience, and respect. |

That you have a bad woman doesn't make other women bad.
There are women that are well trained and will baff u with adoration even as they progress in life.
In some situations, the woman will boast u till u start making it. Your growth will be totally the handiwork of the woman.
Many of u here are enemies of progress. U don't want Ur own wife to progress because of fear of imaginary domination. Some men even go as far as using juju against their own wife. I can bet with my left balls, you didn't read till the end or you didn't read to understand but to reply. |

Family › Re: Unforgiveness: Please I Need Help. by akaahs(m): 1:27pm On May 25 |
Anuoluwa12345:
? Anyone?? I almost fall into that category too, but yours seems a little more intense. Sometimes my wife tells me I don’t really have a forgiving spirit because if I don’t find a way to react or make the person feel the consequences of what they did, I hardly let it go easily. Over time, I’ve learned to manage it by constantly reminding myself that human beings will always behave like human beings. Most times, I just let things slide for the sake of my own peace of mind. Other times, I express my displeasure openly, get it off my chest, and then move on. But if the behavior becomes consistent, I simply distance myself completely and never look back. You just have to find a healthy way to channel yours so it doesn’t consume you. One thing I’ve come to realize is that people like us often have very good hearts, and that’s why disappointment or betrayal tends to affect us deeply. |
Foreign Affairs › Re: Kuwait Detains Over 200 Nigerians Over Salary Disagreement by akaahs(m): 1:01pm On May 25 |
Robertgreene1: Lol, this same Kuwait that l was working for one guy like that as a travel agent. Intrestingly enough, l met the guy on this very forum and l was getting clients for him from this forum as well and making my money. The guy even offered to sponsor me to Kuwait. But the day l lost my appetite both for the job and relocating over there was the day l researched deeply about the place and discovered that they still use the "Kafala" sponsorship system just like most Arab countries, which basically means that you're legally bonded to the person/company that sponsored you to the country. In other words, you're the legal modern slave of the person/company that sponsored you to the country, cus you can't get a job, or change job or even leave the country without that person/company's approval. Omo, na that very day l comot my hand and mind for anything wey concern Kuwait. I don't even work for the guy anymore sef cus my conscience no gree me again to continue lieing to the unsuspecting clients that were paying at least 2M for the visa processing. So my candid advice is this: Before you travel to any country, do your research about that place very very well to avoid stories that touches the heart and soul. And you see all those Arab and Gulf countries...Dubai, Qatar, Kuwait, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia etc etc, don't even wish your worst enemy to travel to those countries to "hustle", talkmore of going there yourself, cus na modern day slavery dey wait for you over there!!! All those ones over there that you see throwing money up and down, 95% of them are into drug trafficking, Yahoo, or Visa fraud. That Visa fraud of a thing is one underated and overlooked crime. But some niggas dey chop money for there pass Yahoo and drugs sef l swear. Working for that Kuwaiti based guy really opened my eyes on how it is very very easy to chop gullible Nigerians via Visa fraud l swear. A Visa fraudster can collect like 3M each from like 10,000 gullible Nigerians, then legitly sponsor like 50 of them abroad, so he can be using them for advertising that he's genuine, then chop the money of the rest of the remaining 9,950 Magas. You can now do the Math. Those peeps no get joy at all, that's why you will always see them throwing money up and down in less than 3 years that they travelled abroad like say money dey grow for trees over there. I remember one of my guys that travelled to Ukraine of all places, and in less than a year, he was already snapping pictures with White people and posting ads on Facebook, looking for Magas to sponsor abroad  What other country can you help me process visa ? |

Rent expires July ending, so it okay to inform in May or June?
Thank you. He should be the one to notify you in writing atleaast 3 months before expiration of ur rent. If he no write you, relax till when you ll move out. |

How can one possibly know the cause of the increment in petrol price (not only in Nigeria, but across the world, due to Trump’s senseless war) but choose to ignore the facts and instead blame Tinubu for a problem being felt in every country where there’s no subsidy on petrol? I see most of you checking into rehab after 2027 elections because Tinubu is going nowhere until 2031 U need ur head to be examined. Most we suffer what other countries are suffering when have crude oil deposited in our backyard? What happens to fixing our own refineries and saving for the rainy days like this? |

jcflex: This is not true. Funds in million dollars, if not billions have been invested in the power project below within the stated period. 1. Mambilla Hydroelectric power project in Taraba state 2. Kashimbila Hydroelectric Power Plant in Taraba state 3. Zungeru Hydroelectric power project in Niger state.
Bad leadership/rulership is the main problem Ogah, most of the power projects you mentioned actually originated from PDP-era plans aimed at improving electricity supply. My current boss was directly involved in several of those initiatives, and I personally worked with the team on the now-abandoned Katongora Auna dam project. From that experience, I can say there hasn’t been any significant new power project rollout in recent times. The only contract we’ve even had the opportunity to bid for was last year, through the Ministry of Power and that wasn’t for construction, but for feasibility and preliminary studies on a few selected hydropower sites across Nigeria. Since then, there’s been no follow-up, no implementation, and no clear indication of progress. |

Sports › “Heavy Defeats And Tactical Gaps: Why English Teams Struggle Against Europe’s El by akaahs(op): 11:33am On Apr 15 |
English teams didn’t just get knocked out of the Champions League, they were outplayed and heavily beaten.
PSG crushed Liverpool 4–0
Real Madrid dominated Man City 5–1
PSG overwhelmed Chelsea 8–2
Barcelona beat Newcastle 8–3
Atletico Madrid edged Tottenham 7–5
Across just five knockout games, English clubs conceded 32 goals and scored only 11. That’s a huge gap.
The issue isn’t just elimination, it’s the manner of defeat. Against Europe’s top sides, English teams looked tactically exposed, defensively weak, and unable to control games.
What's your take? |
