I found this inspirational Quote on BibleGodQuotes.com and I'm sharing it since I haven't written an inspirational post in a while.

I really hope it encourages you. Life is full of adventures; without them, life becomes another boring routine. Often times we wish we could speed thing up, we want it to happen NOW!

Do you have dreams/goals that you are striving to achieve and it feels like you aren't making a headway or getting there soon enough?

Be encouraged! As long as you keep making good effort; taking steps in the right direction and keeping faith, it will definitely happen.

Continue to trust God and His promises. You will never be disappointed.

Remember, the race isn't to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all (Ecclesiastes 9:11).

Enjoy the weekend!

ogugua88: The guy is one in a million, meaning 999,999 men don't need to do this lol. I hope I don't get such if anyone is to propose to me. That's over the top. It doesn't have to be BIG. Most people who receive proposals receive them once. She'll remember it regardless.

Congrats to them though.

Okay my African brothers, you all need to step up your game of romance. Here's another breath-taking proposal by a young man in Montana, Miles Steinbach, 23.

Although his girlfriend - at the time, Olivia Campbell, 20, had a slight fear of flying, she boarded an airplane with Steinbach for a ride she will never forget.

“I was looking out the window and I saw a discoloration in one of the fields and was looking really close but didn't want to make a big deal out of it,” Campbell, a college student, told Good-Morning-America.

“We started to get closer and I saw the word marry and I thought, ‘Oh my gosh this can’t be happening! This stuff doesn't happen to me.’”

Plowed into the field below were the words, “Liva – Will You Marry Me?”

“I turned around and Miles was holding a ring and smiling at me and said, ‘Will you marry me?,’” Campbell said. “I was, of course, screaming and said yes.”

It had taken Steinbach who was a rancher a month to plan the proposal. With the help of his uncle, it took an hour to plow and carve the big question into the grain field which was owned by Steinbach's family. According to Campbell, Steinbach relied on GPS and just eyeballing it to plow it right.

Campbell and Steinbach, who have been dating for more than four years, plan to hold off on their wedding until 2015, once Campbell has graduated from college.

Marriage proposal is an ideal moment a woman doesn't normally forget; so fellows, do it BIG - if you haven't already. But if you have proposed already, don't forget to keep romancing your partner

Of courses God knows. His family seem to have an idea on why the pastor took his life as well

Hmmmm

prymesolution: Why didn't this post make the front page? It sp much better than lots of the recent posts on there

I hope it does but it seem a little too late tho the content isn't time sensitive

Swiftboy: Plenty things about the industry aint right at all.A certain 'ill trend' to say the least! Check this out!
*Plantation Boys{2Face,Blackface,FAZE} owns African Queen which 2Face use as his evergreen hit.
*Kenis music ridiculous 2Face contract clause,especially for Grass to grace album.
*D'Banj and Don Jazzy's end to Mo'hit
*SEAN Tizle and sound sultan on the song 'Sholee'
*Terry G and Ay.com's disagreement over 'pass me your love'
*Davido outrightly photocopied Password's Gobe
*Wizkid contract problem with EME
*Brymo's ridiculous contract with Chocolate City.
*lingering piracy problems.
Now this recent one By Don Jazzy and wande coal! All this controversies are bred out of poor legislation as regards contracts and copyright laws.I mean there is nowhere else in the world where we have such bad things happening more often than Nigeria. The media house infringe copyright laws at will,the most painful part is artistes dont get paid for airplays...if there's anything,its the other way round.so you have talents that are not heard cos they cant get their song on radio and the wack ones getting airplay cos media houses only listen to your bribe in the name of 'subscription'.Things must change! The industry cant grow like this!

Well said. Good observation too.

prymesolution: Omo, see grammar! I do like him tho. If only I can find a Latin dictionary to supplement this oxford dictionary.

You can always use Google.

prymesolution:

Yes o! Life is too sweet. Those challenges are the adventures that make life worth living.

GBAM!

xager: this can never happen with a Nigerian pastor

Why not? Well, we love life too much to commit suicide. Nobody wan die but we wan go heaven

Let's hope this makes the front page.

O.T.I.S:
family issues!!

It seem like it.

albacete:

Just joking.

But it beats me how people actually decide to take their own life.

You and me both. Honestly I can't even imagine it. However, I'm not judging folks that do cos I don't know what they were going through.

On a side note, I read about a man who was perfectly okay, no health issues, no drama, but he decided he's lived well enough and planned his suicide.

Livinus.c:
why ar u people worrying ur selves, if u cross shake dis man surname very well his grammar talys with his surname so u pple should stop counterfeiting d man because is not his fault.

What?

albacete: ... then Pastor Parker, after deliberating on what to do with the featherweight offering cloth, finally decided to spill the contents in his car. Lo and behold, what he saw baffled him - torn notes, counterfeit notes and even a Nigerian currency, N5 note spilled with ink. .

Read what writer and artist Okechukwu Ofili wrote about these 4 young men who lost their lives in the most gruesome manner on October 5th 2012.


On October 2012, I had the privilege to meet with Jane Toku-Mike the mother of Lloyd…just several days after her son had been fatally beaten and torched for a crime that he did not commit. I was nervous about the meeting, I mean what do you tell a mother after losing her son in such a brutal manner? But we spoke and there was one thing she kept saying. And that was that she and all the other parents wanted people to know who their children were, that they were innocent, that they had dreams, that they had aspirations, that they were just like us…you and me.

So last month roughly a year after our first meeting, I asked Jane Toku-Mike if she had pictures of her son that I could use for a project I was working on … you can imagine my surprise when I received not just one but several dozen pictures of Lloyd and the other 3 children. Pictures scanned from a brochure titled Four Friends that was made in honor and remembrance of the aluu4. A brochure filled with never before seen pictures of the children, as babies, in church, in school on visiting day. Just normal everyday pictures with words from family describing their sons.

And I just had to share it, not to stoke another endless debate about the hopelessness of Nigeria or whose fault it was that aluu4 happened. But rather to do something to ensure that the aluu4 victims get justice and to remind the parents that we the people of Nigeria have not forgotten. But more importantly that we will not forget. We will keep fighting for their sons, until they get justice.

And we can fight this fight. All they need from us is to keep their children in the news cycle so that the courts know that we are watching and that we will not be silent if justice is stolen from them.

So feel free to share these pictures, this article, these words, even steal from the article, but get the word out. You can start with publicizing their November 14th court case at High Court 21 in Port Harcourt. If you stay in Port Harcourt, go out there and support, take pictures. Report the news, post it on your blog, ping it, whatsapp it, instagram it, let it spread. Its the little we can do.

Enjoy the below pictures and words from their family. I was moved and I am sure you will too…

Ich_el: Time End Tinz

It's really baffling but we might never know exactly what led to the pastor taking his life. Family issues maybe?

What could have made a pastor fatally shoot himself after Sunday morning service? That's the question on people's mind at the Bibb Mount Zion Baptist Church in Macon, Georgia, USA.

According to a coroner's report, Rev. Teddy Parker Jr., pastor of Bibb Mount Zion Baptist Church, in Macon, fatally shot himself outside his home after Sunday morning service.

His wife found him in the driveway of their Warner Robins home with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, said Houston County Coroner Danny Galpin.

Parker, 41, and wife Larrinecia Sims Parker have two daughters, according to the church's website.

He entered the ministry when he was 22 and was ordained at Fellowship Bible Baptist Church, 431 Dunbar Road, Warner Robins, where he also taught Sunday school and served as a youth pastor, the church's website states.

A church official has asked for privacy as they consider this a private matter between the church and the pastor's family.

It's sad and kind of weird because a pastor is the least person you'd expect to commit suicide. May his soul rest in peace.

Hi Mods,

Check on this thread. Highly recommended for Front Page. Thanks!

jaryeh: Though the man is not communicating to majority of his audience. But I love his use of english!

While his command of the English vocabulary is commendable, I think his message gets lost in translation. He's seen more like a comedian than a serious ex-lawmaker. Unfortunately, that's his cross. He probably finds it difficult to speak simple English as he's used to the "big grammar." I like him though.
