This is a photo of me delivering yesterday’s sermon at The Well! I know, I know, you wish you went to a church like that too, huh? Seriously, this was my sermon illustration and it just so happened to be ‘Mission Sunday’ as well, and so I was dressed in my traditional Nigerian attire in [...]

I decided that in view of all the bad news lately, and the various news stories about the Madoff’s of the world who are hell bent on breaking the law, I would make today’s Frivolous Friday a tribute to cops. Hope you enjoy these snapshots of a tedious day in the life of a police [...]
