The Starfish Story

An old man walked across the beach until he came across a young boy throwing something into the  sea. Upon closer inspection, the old man could see that the boy was tossing stranded starfish from the sandy beach, back into the ocean.

“What are you doing, young man?” He asked.

“If the starfish are still on the beach when the sun rises, they will die,” the
boy answered.

“That is ridiculous. There are thousands of miles of beach and millions of starfish. It doesn’t matter how many you throw in; you can’t make a difference.” the old man said.

“It matters to this one,” the boy said as he threw another starfish into the waves. “..and it matters to this one too.”

Africa Has Lost It's Greatest Son, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela

It is such a sad day for the Mandela family and the continent at large as we mourn the passing of one of Africa’s greatest leaders, Nelson Mandela..

I pay my respects to a leader of a global movement to end human rights injustices and the apartheid government that has been oppressing the black communities in South Africa for years..

Today as we mourn, honour and pay tribute to his legacy, we are reminded of the power of forgiveness, peace and reconciliation of the human spirit..

The loss of such an iconic figure will be felt for a very long time. Madiba, as he was popularly known as, has left a mark in the hearts and minds of millions of people in the continent and the world over..

The Bible can be confusing sometimes..

In Genesis 19:4-8 --> "Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom -both young and old- surrounded the house. They called to Lot, 'where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, so that we can have sex with them..' Lot went out outside to meet them and shut the door behind him, and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing. Look, i have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do anything you like with them. But don't do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof."

It gets more interesting..

In 2 Peter 2:7 --> "But God also rescued Lot out of Sodom because he was righteous man who was sick of shameful immorality of the wicked people around him."
